“The more I love the more that I’m afraid that in your eyes I may not see ‘forever’ forever…”
A very good choir singing a Michel Legrand song in a church with very good acoustics , it's magical 🌷
When I was a young boy I heard this song performed by James Ingram and Patti Austin and immediately loved it. Now I hear it sang by an angel and a choir of angels. I cried when I heard this arrangement just because it was so beautiful performed! Thanks for sharing your talent ❤️
She brings a lot of energy,love and happiness into this song. What a beautiful talent.
Her voice, phrasing and interpretation are impeccable!!!!♡
This young woman is simply magic. If this does not touch your very heart, you may no longer be breathing.
i love it, it alwasy make me cry too i remember my dad he loves this and followed this choir when he was alive
What a beautiful arrangement of this song…She has an absolutely beautiful voice! 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
She is. I can vouch for that;)
🎯💕
Somebody call an ambulance!!! Lol
Try +66
This choral arrangement is breathtakingly lovely!
La beauté pure de la musique !! Une chorale jeune et hyper-talentueuse ! La soliste - Helen Charlston - a une voix magnifique !!!
Love anything Michele Legrand wrote ...this is beautiful...brings tears to my eyes....
I do not know how many times I have listened to this, and it NEVER gets old. Magnificent!
Same! I keep coming back to it because I can’t get it out of my head!
Same
Same here.
Is it available on a CD/Stream somewhere other than here?
Same
Her singing and the arrangement sent chills up my spine. -so very, very moving...
Her voice is Angelic.Pure unadulterated pitch perfect voice I have the privilege of hearing.I can’t wait for her to graduate&start a recording career.
She's more than started since this video was made @teddzik278 - she's just won a Gramophone Award!
Beautiful harmony and control. Beautiful voice, that soloist has.
My favorite version of this amazing song, congrats!❤
Dude vibing in the back is a mood.
She really has one beautiful voice. I feel I'm so far away when I hear this song, like I'm sitting by the fire with a girl I had a crush on in my youth, sipping a nice red wine together on a cold winters night, holding her tight by my side. No money in the world can replace that. What can??? Emilio😊😊😊😊
No one, but no, one sings “The more I love, the more I am afraid” better than Helen …… just stunning, telling the story … wow
Wow wow ❤
I LOVE the accoustics of their performance. What a beautiful job they all did.❤❤❤
This rendition is hauntingly beautiful and enchanting. This is a piece of art.
Toujours une répétition de la même phrase,une forme d'obsession chez mr Legrand..... un désir de refaire pour être sûr que le sillon sera traçé à jamais! Oui mr Legrand un style qui laisse une "empreinte" un amour de ce qui est précieux! La vie! Merci mt Legrand Un patronyme à votre hauteur!
I happened to run into this wonderful piece of music by Michel LeGrand, about four years ago. I since have heard
it sung by many artists including Frank SInatra, Barbara Streisand,, and best of all Tony Bennett. The lyrics are in my opinion the best love song ever. I am 92 years old and became a widower five years ago. how I wish I could have sung this to my dear wife whose mind became scrambled to dementia. The young lady soloist was absolutely angelic. My deepest congratulations to whoever thought out this choral presentation. It goes in my #1 favorites list. Please put it on a CD.
John Dudek i think they have
John,, there are many versions of this most beautiful romantic song by M L , with lyrics by Alan & Marylin Bergman .
Try Arojo Paco ,,,or a piano version by Emile Pandolfi ,,,or a duo by Nana Mouskouri and Harry Belafonte
What a lovely tribute
Did you hear the version of James Ingram in duet with Patty Austin? There can't be any more yearning voices ringing with each other.
Music by Michel Legrand
Lyrics by Alan and Marilyn Bergman.
This is a really moving arrangement and Helen is outstanding. Fantastic vocal talent backing her too. I hope this performance is enjoyed by many in the future.
this song saved me in June of that year, i was with covid 19, i was already giving up when a friend sent me this song, when i heard it it brought me back. gratitude 🙏
How very moving your story is, Joelma. I hope by now you have regained your health.
Best wishes from Kuala Lumpur 💗
Como eu queria a partitura desse arranjo tão belo, para mim Essa foi a melhor versão dessa música, não me canso de escutá-la, linda demais! gratidao 🙏
Achingly beautiful. Emotionally moving and pristinely controlled. Bravissimi! Helen Carlston is my new hero!
That is so beautiful, the sounds of the human voice, what a gift some people have
My mother LOVED this song…but she only knew the Ingram/Austin version.
She was a choral director, mezzo soprano performer - rare, beautiful operatically trained voice. Music was her life.
She knew of this choir, she listened to their Faure Requiem (beautiful).
She died last month.
It breaks my heart into 1000 pieces that she didn’t know of this wonderful version…she would have loved it.
😭 😭 😭
Now she knows I promise… probably enjoying it somewhere ❤
@@Jetlag69 - What a wonderful comment, thank you!!!
My heart goes out to you, sincerely...
Thankyou all so much❤
If music can bring people closer together, then it has probably achieved the highest of all goals. This song is undoubtedly a pearl and touches a lot of people very deeply in their hearts when it is arranged so masterfully, so courageously rehearsed and so lovingly and sensitively interpreted as we can experience it here. Many thanks to everyone involved! Every musician knows how much work it takes to make such a miracle happen.
With music by Legrand, and lyrics from the Bergmans’, the only topping on that duo would be hearing such a magnificent chorus and soloist perform their masterpiece to perfection. I’ve played this a dozen times today and am amazed of the quality and balance of this choir. It doesn’t get any better than this. Thank you so much for posting this, it made my day.
Where can I get this exact arrangement with soloist and choir. If someone can direct me I would be grateful. Thank you.
She's a real life Disney Princess I swear
This beautiful song has many wonderful renditions, but this is one of the best!!🌟
That was breathtaking
A beautiful voice that melts one’s heart…music such like this transcends time.
I can't imagine a better soloist, a more extraordinary chorus and a more sensitive conductor for this exciting song.
This is choral music at a stratospheric level: it doesn't happen very often to have this opportunity. Carpe diem :-)
Perhaps Barbra Streisand could perform this as well
Streisand did.
@@tonysalvatore2608 - when & where; I've got to hear it and see her!!! LOVE BARBRA FOREVER
Barbra did but the arrangement is different. I meant exactly same arrangement
@@dalerider3124 go to youtube put in Barbara Streisand and song title. That's it. It's from her"The Movie Album"
Absolutely stunning arrangement and amazing vocal harmony of this beautiful song. Gives me chills every time I hear it. ❤
I'm getting goosebumps!!! Beautiful !!! Stunning !!! This song just toughes my heart 😊
What a touching and crystally careful performance!
112 thousand views on facebook, shared 1300+ times and that in only 3 days respect to all.
Can't imagine leaving a comment on something so perfect. What to say. Thank you!
I'm speechless. This is how you define the word "perfection." What a masterful performance.
Beautiful❣️
@@villasmariano1675 tim sawyer
Beautiful...young people.
wow !!!! no words needed !
Bravo !!!
Wow!!!…
Beautiful singing, arrangement and choices of music and venue!.
Splendid!
This is fantastic. When I saw the link title, and the date, this choral director thought...Oh... here will be some helpful tutorial about how to proceed with life without choral singing. Well, no, but thank you for this sensational gesture, reminding me of an example of all of the amazing choral singing that has been going on in the world. I am weeping as I write. We all corporately sigh as we figure out how to make music like this in masks and keep our droplets to ourselves. Sing on people. In gratitude.
Indeed- I was hoping to get some specific creative ideas I hadn't heard before on what to do with my choir since I have to teach them despite the dangers. So seriously, this is gorgeous, but if anyone has anything about how to run a choral rehearsal/program outside and with a mask, and with no in person performances practical, which is what the recommendations are, I want to hear it.
Gorgeous!
This version is insanely addicting! #OnRepeat🎤📀🎞
Can't stop listening to this. It touches my heart.
You're right
Have you heard the original
@@silviafigueroa8813
I think most people listening to this know the original very well, and the hundreds of covers too.
This though - this is sooo much better. Stunning, heartbreaking, breathtaking, just not enough superlatives. Thank you, Alexander L'Estrange, Stephen Layton, and Helen Charlston, for refining and moulding this classic to perfection.
This takes me up to where the angels are...
I totally agree. Her voice is amazing and the choir and the arrangement! It’s an ‘aahhhh’ moment.
I keep coming back to it again and again.
What a great job
The best version in as far as Im concerned. Helen Charlston made the big difference. The choir is fantastic. Their voices sounds like singing angels.
A beautiful song by the late great Tony Bennett.
I agree what everyone is saying hest. I would give almost anything to be there in that chapel that day. To hear it live reverberating through the chapel would have given me deep down shivers! My heart probably would be beating fast. I love great music so much!
Such an incredible arrangement and the soloist is amazing
That was absolutely gorgeous! 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
The soloist's quality and volume was perfect...and beautiful diction as well. Seemed like a King Singer's arrangement. Amazing !
What do you expect from Britain? Yes, it's superb.
Splendid.... ❤
Beautiful.
Married nearly 57 years, together much longer, this applies to us.❤
Absolutely beautiful!
I always love the same music sung by James Ingram, and this version of interpretation has brought the same music into the new level. Just love it so much!❤️
MAGNIFICENT!!!!!!!!!!
"I know the way I feel for you is now or never,
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
That in your eyes I may nor see forever, forever.
If we can be the best of lovers, and be the best of friends.
If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows,
With any luck then I suppose-
THE MUSIC NEVER ENDS."
Growing up I've always been a Michel Legrand fan. This morning as I was having coffee and some toast with peanut butter, I opened my computer and saw this post by a colleague on fb, so I thought I'd give it a listen. Just as when the solo came in, I found my self unexpectedly bursting in tears. Not only the beautiful rendition touched my heart, but after not hearing this song in a long time, it shook my inner feelings, touched my profound and deep emotion, my soul. And with all the craziness that is happening in the world right now, if we couldn't live together in peace and harmony, I ask, "how do WE keep the music playing?"
Ms. Helen Charlston, your solo is just stunning. Just the perfect amount of emotion, warmth, temperament, expression and grace, yet very powerful. I could listen to your fantastic voice all day. Very inspiring. Thank you.
As we are currently inhibited from doing what we do best and love, this is one of those perfect reminders not to lose hope, and that sometime, someday we will be back together in concert-- for love conquers all, and that any form of hate has no place in our heart. Then I suppose- truly music never ends.
How many times can grown men cry? Or, in my case really old men(90 years) . There must be a God.. Thank-You!!!
Please...we must not let the music ever end 😢😢
The entire thing is mesmerizing! Love you all!
The wonderful Helen Charlton
One word ... Outstanding ...
Could not be said better!
OMG. i shed tears listening to this.
It's too bad we are allowed to hit the "Like" button only once.
Oh well...
This was lovely. My mum passed away today and I needed something soothing. I've been hitting the replay button a few times before Ieaving a comment.
Sending hugs & prayers to you dear ..be strong♥️
The “music never left” & neither will your dear mother, even as she is physically gone, you keep her spirit alive in your heart & memories. Sending hugs & loving support to you; be gentle with yourself. ✨♥️✨🤍✨☮️✨🎶✨🎵✨
This is simply stunning. What an outstanding performance. Absolutely amazing. Listening over and over and getting chills. Congratulations Mr Layton and the singers
Absolutely amazing soloist and accompaniment - just wonderful!
Music can be so powerful! Outstanding!
Well done!
Holy cow the chills
Heart felt and yes she is very special,
OMG ! Thank god for youtube suggestion algorithm ! THIS IS SO GORGEOUS!!!!
God i miss singing in choir. Of course my local church choir cannot be compared to them lol.
But to sing together as one, no ego, making your own voice blended perfectly with the others making (if done right) a beautiful harmony..
I've listened to this young beautiful voice so many times that l go to bed most nights thinking "what a voice" God is praised for giving a young lady such a beautiful voice.
I miss my choir deeply. You said it perfectly.
CHILLS... AWESOME. 2022
VOICES OF ANGELS.
FOR HARRISON SÁNCHEZ
BENDICIONES
Awesome version of this songh!
Thanks for bringing tears to my eyes with this gorgeous performance!
This is the sound of the sunrise and the sunset happening at the same time. I love how the bass vocalist in pink is keeping the downbeat and feeling the groove. Gorgeous vocal arrangement. And the lead vocalist is just pure love. I want her to be my daughter. LOVELY. JUST LOVELY. Thank you for this.
She looks a lot like me at that age. Maybe she's mine?
Andělská hudba, která mě rozplakala ❤
Fell in love with the Tony Bennett /Aretha Franklin version, then came across this, makes me cry, simply awesome! Can't stop listening to the music playing.
I always feel goosebumps every time I listen to this song
Wonderful
Helen - this is simply remarkable. Your singing for The Self-Isolation Choir with FIERI is amazing. This, however, is remarkable. Stephen and the choir - thank you.
As a member of the Self-Isolation Choir I totally endorse everything said here. Truly sublime!
I am a huge fan, Helen. Loved your performances in Gabrieli's Christmas Oratorio, as well.
Each time I have listened to this Trinity College Choir version, including Helen's angelic voice, I simply cannot stop the tears rolling down my cheeks such is its beauty. I am looking forward to learning the piece with The Self-Isolation Choir, with Helen as the soloist, in June. I shall have a huge handkerchief handy!
@@carolmiddleton9178 I can't wait either Carol
Soooo angelic....wonderful, pitch perfect...so amazing! Very very heavenly. Thank you for showcasing such enormous talents!

maravilloso
TOTALLY MAGNIFICENT - I wish the instructor could have this group cut a full album and DVD, etc., of music like this. Superb training not only in the music but the studio techniques. BRAVO.
I've been listening to this rendition of "how do you keep the music playing" over and over again. Heavenly blending of voices...so relaxing, it touches one's heart.
Lyrics:
How do you keep the music playing?
How do you make it last?
How do you keep the song from fading
Too fast?
How do you lose yourself to someone
And never lose your way?
How do you not run out of new things
To say?
And since you know we're always changing
How can it be the same?
And tell me how year after year
You're sure your heart won't fall apart
Each time you hear his name?
I know the way I feel for you is now or never
The more I love, the more that I'm afraid
That in your eyes I may not see forever, forever
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day to make it better as it grows
With any luck then I suppose
The music never ends
I know (how do you keep the music playing)
The way I feel for you is now or never (how do you make it last)
The more I love the more that I'm afraid
(how do you keep the song from fading)
That in your eyes I may not see forever
(Keep the song from fading)
Forever
If we can be the best of lovers
Yet be the best of friends
If we can try with every day to make it better as it goes
With any luck then I suppose
The music never ends

Thank you!!!
❤
Just beautiful, first time,every time!!!
Wowsers! And other American low-brow but meaning-well euphemisms. I was a singer in the Cantare Chorale and wish we had thought of this, but after hearing this most perfect version (and I have heard Tony and Frank, and Barbra, and well, you know) I am cornswogeled and gollywhomped. Just a most perfecto arrangement of notes and voices that have ever graced any venue, even a cathedral. And I once toured there but they were not there. Well, I am 81, so they were probably not born yet. Okay. They are all whippersnappers. But I loved what they did. I forgot the !!!!
Bravo à tous pour cette superbe mélodie. 😌🙏🕉
I keep coming back to this incredibly sensitive rendition and no matter how much I try, I fall apart at the same place every time...”that in your eyes I may not see forever...forever..” ...
I weep everytime. Waiting and praying for my wife to return to our marriage and family. Thanks for your prayers.
Having sung in choirs since 12, to hear this group was precious to me...and the song echoes my feelings. Thank you.
Worthy of a Bach's chorale. Simply beautiful.
Allow me to enjoy, the moment I heard this for the first time.
Merci pour ce moment de grâce. Magnifique chanson et sublime interprétation.
I had the pleasure of hearing this choir at the Festival of the Sound in Parry Sound, Ontario during their North American tour. They were wonderful that evening, but this piece surpasses even that performance. A simply magical rendition of a beautiful arrangement. I have listened to this every day for the last two weeks - can’t get enough of the piece and the angelic performance by Helen Charlston. Incredible!!!
