My brother-in-law died recently. He was born in Ireland, but came to New Zealand with his family when he was 12 years old.
My 23 year old granddaughter said she'd like to sing at funeral. She found this song, The Parting Glass, learnt it in a few days, and sang it fantastically at the funeral.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
So sorry. What a beautiful granddaughter
Very appropiate song
❤❤❤❤❤❤
He is from Wexford in Ireland. He sings in his natural accent, which is fitting in this song. Glad you find it interesting. Enjoy!
Choral Scholars of University College Dublin tis the official lyrics now i need
Vibrato
JFK, DNA, Wexford?
Choral Scholars of University College Dublin The family of my grandmother, Julia Cleary, who died in Pennsylvania, during the pandemic illness in 1918, live in Wexford.
Beautiful rendition. Thank you.
Choral Scholars of University College Dublin thank you for taking me on this journey ... I love it
The Irish are born to sing and they do it so well.
And they speak like a song
not for nothing, but even though the song is well-known in Ireland, it's a Scottish song by origin
@@steray8112😢😢
My old Dad was born in Wexford, 1911. He loved this song and sang it at many family 'Get togethers' . He sadly passed 40 years ago, here in Australia, but every birthday we play this for him.

Darn, you old
What a great tribute may the breezes of Moreton Bay, the fierce Tasman sea, and every body of water in Oz know his spirit.
Well done, beautiful song.
Our family are from Wexford too. Beautiful song!
Mark Waters has one of the most honest voices I've ever heard.
Wonderful description David
I agree wholeheartedly!
Definitely. A crisp tenor
Exactly
Why does this make PERFECT sense?
Been watching this for the better part of 7 years, such a great performance
Me too
I'm sort of Irish. My friend had died recently and this song was played at his wake. We all had a shot of whiskey and smoked cigars. He was given a proper send off.
You are either Irish or you're not, no 'sort of'!
Ken Curran: Music can work the Most wonderful things…
I'm sorry for your loss may your friend rest in peace love from Ireland 🇮🇪
Are you part of the Irish diaspora? Irish American, for example, as am I?
Are you listening. Your most Irish than most.
Thank you Mr. Director. You know the faces of pure joy from memorization and they will carry the music with them , inside, for all their lives.
This is by far my favorite version of "Parting Glass".Everyone sings beautifully but there is a quality to Mark's voice that is so appealing to the ear and to the heart as well
Das finde ich auch. Eine wundervolle Stimme und ich höre das Stück oft.
the lead singers voice = Angelic
Yep.
Thanks!
My goodness that young lad hits all right notes I just keep putting it on replay. It’s so beautiful!!!!! 🌎⭐️❤
Not enough credit is sent to Kevin Whyms for the absolutely brilliant sound recording. Getting this kind of full sound takes some serious thinking and experience in everything from choosing microphones and placement to the post-production. My deepest respect, sir.
Just came from living on the Lakota Reservation in South Dakota. When I heard the Lakota songs and sang along to simple one, I felt a connection with the earth. We need to know the real history of how we were derooted and recover our roots. This is special.
This made me tear up. English is not my native tongue, but the feeling in the singing and choir made me think of friends I've lost and reminded me of how short life is. You should tell your friend how you fell about him/her. Life is a precious and delicate thing we take for granted :hearts:
The line "That I should rise and you shall not" gets me in the feels every time.
It’s not about death
he diddnt say it was 🤣
same here it expresses a fundamental truth
This boy own voice of angel
I just heard this song for the first time today on a re-run of the Australian TV show "Rake" and found this version. I am sitting her blubbering like a baby at the simplicity and beauty of this classic song. My sincerest compliments to the singers and the director of this group.
Thanks so much Bob for your kind words.
Agreed! You may also wish to listen to the Choir's recording/video of Orphan Girl. A beautiful heart rending tale of the thousands of young cailins whose fate was to travel from Ireland to Australia to begin a new life. Beautiful choral work and unmatched solo by mezzo Abby Molloy.
LYRICS:
Of all the money that e'er I had, I spent it in good company
And of all the harm that e'er I've done, alas it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit, to memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass. Goodnight and joy be with you all
Of all the comrades that e'er I had, they're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot that I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call, "Goodnight and joy be with you all!"
A man may drink and not be drunk, a man may fight and not be slain
A man may court a pretty girl and perhaps be welcomed back again
But since it has so ordered been by a time to rise and a time to fall
Come fill to me the parting glass, good night and joy be with you all
Good night and joy be with you all
Thanks for the lyrics. 😊
Interestingly in the Scottish song "The Barnyards o'Delgaty " :
"Noo, I can drink and no be drunken, I can fecht and no be slain
I can lie wi' anither man's lass and aye be welcome tae my ain"
@@mikegooglemainaccount6854 Only to sleep in the couch, though, more often than not.
PeteVVest thanks
PeteVVest i always had sreams of whiskey by the pogues but now this
That young man has a voice of gold. What a treasure... Goodness gracious.
They do a outstanding job on "Mo Ghille Mear"
I just bought the album, they are GOOD.
Came here from that too
Yes they do! Amazing
That song is what got me hooked on these singers. I still consider it one of my absolute favorite songs
definately!!!
A stunning combination of a relatively colloquially sung lead and a perfect choral backing. Never heard anything like it. Absolutely tremendous.
The red headed boy next to the brunette in the Sylvester shirt looks like he’s about to cry and I can’t blame him. Tearing up me self here.
This guy has the voice of an angel.
I cant find the words but Mark Waters voice touch my heart.
The woman at 0:58 who has the solo going through 1:10 has an utterly gorgeous tone!!
Sopranoe's voice is perfect here
Smoother than glass...absolutely beautiful.
Absolutely!! But Emily Doyle's tone is not all that's utterly gorgeous. Wow!
This man singing the best out of all the versions I heard
This is why the world loves the Irish.
Mark Waters, a most beautiful voice. My favourite recording.❤❤
Wow, beautiful. Mark Waters, the young man who sings lead, is simply amazing -- he has a stunning voice. I can't hear this enough...
Every lass beautiful. Every lad handsome. Every voice, that of an angel. A marvelous performance!
I'm not ashamed to say that I wept on hearing this. In memory of my father: William John Gunning Crawford. A man that I wish I'd known better...
Never be ashamed. Everytime I listen to this Choir, I cry. I'm 6'5 and 225 lbs. For some reason, Irish music touches my soul and brings me to tears.
love Mark Waters voice, a gift from heaven
It was originally written in Scotland, prior to 1605 and was called Armstrong's Goodnight. It was the most popular closing night song or tune in Scotland until Robert Burn's Auld Lang Syne. It is a shared tune of the Irish and Scots, and loved by all.....
Marc Phelan I see why you two like eachother that much xD
Like everything concerning Scottish culture (except the English invented short kilt) it was Irish in origin. Poor Scots they just can’t except this truth.
@@22grena so the Irish invented tarmacadam roads,the tv,the phone,antibiotics,the postage stamp,the industrial steam engine,the rubber tyre,the cycle,the breech loading rifle,the hovercraft,logarithms et al...??....NAW YE DIDNAE....Parting glass is a Scottish song by lineage and culture.Get over it.
@@22grena clown
I don’t mind sharing with the Scottish. I prefer not to fight family.
bloody great, these people can sing, what more is to be said!
I wish I could like this again each time I listen to it... 💚
My big sister, Judy, passed a couple of days ago, this is the one I will post on FB. Many thanks..
Superb! Crisp polyphony, each part is so clear. The lead singer has a great accent and voice obviously, but the bass and soprano parts are also a real treat.
Absolutely. All parts are well played and add to the whole. They're all a real treat .
OMG that was the most beautiful song I have ever heard in my entire life.
+Amber Wright : Good on you ! This is comfort and warmth, this is peace and safety and soup on a cold, rainy day as your mom smiles at you and brings you a blanket while you lie on the couch. I have been fixated on this version of this song for over a year now, and it soothes my savage breast and fevered dreams still.
+iamintheburg I've had it on constant repeat since the moment I heard it.
I am so glad to hear it, Amber !!!! The sounds matter and the words touch us, don't they ?
This is one of the best versions of this song I’ve heard
I have to listen to this at least once a week because it helps my heart
I come back here from time to time since 2013, because of the beauty herein. French friendship an admiration to you all.
OMG!!! his Voice
I've listened to scores of different versions of this song. IMHO, this is the by far THE ULTIMATE version. Well done !
I could listen to this beautiful performance 1,000 times in a row. Perfection.
I said a long time ago when I first heard this lad singing "The Parting Glass" that he sings it perfectly, he does sing it perfectly. He has a sweet and pure voice. Would love to hear him sing more songs.
+John O'Connor Thanks so much. This track is available on pre-release now on our new CD 'Invisible Stars' - itun.es/i6SR2p8 #iTunes
I just found it is free to stream with my Amazon Prime. The first song Mo Ghile Mear is one of my favorite songs and the young man does it magnificently
Same here, Mo Ghile Mear was I think the first I saw of this man singing.
Lead vocals you have one of the best tenor voices I have ever heard
I hope that I can find the inner strength and courage to sing this at the unveiling of the memorial being dedicated to my father, Firefighter John C. Russell, who gave his life so that others may live. I love you Dad. Last Alarm, September 28, 1975.
Matthew Russell I hope it went well for you!
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
So many people LOVE folks like your Dad.
He would be proud of you, I'm sure.
Let us know how it went my friend
God bless your dear father.
Matthew Russell i reckon you found strengh Matthew
Gkc bless yall xxoo
I periodically listen to various performances of this beautiful song but there in one I always return to and this is it. It's just perfection. Thank you.
Oh shoot his voice is perfect
This is now my favourite version of the Parting Glass. The lad who sings this has such a nice voice, clear and lovely to listen to and the choir is great too. But the purity of the main singer's voice is what really makes this, he is relaxed and so calm in his singing. Heh, we do not need talent shows on Tv, it's right here with us the real judges

Mynes still the assassin's creed 1 by Sarah green
Have you seen the video where he does the lead vocals on Mo Ghille Mear?
What about ed sheeran?
That soprano in the second verse adds a world of beauty.
@@christopherknorr2895 That lady with a beautiful voice is Emily Doyle.
I've listened to this version of Parting Glass dozens of times, which let me to the other videos you posted, which led me to lots of other songs in Irish, which is why I decided to learn Irish, like seriously, I'm taking notes and things. And I'm not even a Caucasian with Irish heritage, I'm a pure Chinese...
Good for you I hope it takes you on new journeys to Ireland.
love you all in Ireland and Scotland from Texas USA
Same here!
In every choirs lifetime there is the rare occasion that everything fits into place perfectly- this is one of those times. I personally don't believe it would be possible for them to have performed it better.
Cheers for the very sound comment Aikido...
this makes me cry :') this guy has a wonderful voice and accent :) and thanks to assassins creed for showing this song
I heard one song where he soloed and came looking for more. We need an album from him - I’m in love with both the voice and that accent!
Listened many times, words fail me to say what it does to me.
The soprano is unbelievable, from another reality. Beauty descended.
You all sing from the heart, it makes this music food for the soul.
Thank you.
+jepz11 Thanks so much. This track is available on pre-release now on our new CD 'Invisible Stars' - itun.es/i6SR2p8 #iTunes
+UCD Choral Scholars that how I found this song
Emily Doyle I believe.
I believe that this may be my all time favorite arrangement of this song. Absolutely stunning.
+Alfred Ahearn Thanks Alfred. This track appears on our forthcoming CD with Signum Records on 11th December 2015 entitled 'Invisible Stars-Choral Works of Ireland and Scotland'
It is available to pre-order from Amazon and iTunes right now!

+Kyle O'Bryan, they have the same effect on me but I'm descended from Forsbergs, Olsons, Bierwirths, and Von Rudenborgs!!
+Juan Arvizu they're so different, but this one is so much more complex and emotional. I love both though.
You need to listen to the High Kings version(live version with bagpipes)! I break down and cry everytime i listen to that one....it's so beautiful
Check out Loreena McKennitt's version as well. Her voice is just amazing.
For the first time, I see how every member of the choir is important to make such a beautiful song. I put your music on when I’m in the house or workshop when I’m by myself, and there is such peace.
Beautiful just beautiful
Today, for the first time, heard this number, ten years too late. Lot's of love from the Netherlands
I love the soprano descant & the beautiful irish tenor.
Soprano --Emily Doyle?
I won't tell you where I 'came here from...', instead I'll tell you how wonderful this song is.
Assassin creed Black flag?;)
The song, The Parting Glass, is one of the finest traditional songs out there. This is the finest version I have ever heard of it. Fair play to all involved, the most of which, are of the age where they could have focused on more modern and popularly recognised songs.
God Bless
and success be with you all:)
Cheers with Tullamore Dew whiskey. Beautiful song
Thank you for the wonderful song. I miss hearing my daughter sing in her collage choir. God bless you all, from Northeast Tennessee, America.🖋
Cheers to the UCD Choral Scholars for having one of the most delightful versions of this classic traditional song. I spent my entire school period in a cappella choirs, and appreciate what they've accomplished (along with their director). Slainte!
+Ellen Hilts-Gossett Thanks so much. This track is available on pre-release now on our new CD 'Invisible Stars' - itun.es/i6SR2p8 #iTunes
UCD Choral Scholars Thank you for the link. I definitely want more!
The modulation in this arrangement is amazing!
+Passive Thanks so much. This track is available on pre-release now on our new CD 'Invisible Stars' - itun.es/i6SR2p8 #iTunes
There aren't many songs that make me cry, this song touches my heart.
The most beautiful version of this I've ever heard in my life I grew up and then Irish family have heard this song a thousand times that you guys knock this one out of the park thanks for doing what you do
Good gosh, I cannot stay away......my tired and sore soul wants the peace and the certainty and the balm of these words.
That young man has an amazing voice.
I am so proud of my Celtic brothers!!! This song is so full of peace and beauty!!!
There is nothing better than a beautiful song well sung. Thank you UCD Choral Scholars.
In loving memory of my Brother. Rest In Peace wherever you are now.
Can't understand all those who don't like it! He sings this song as it should be sung... From the heart. With all the deep feelings, a song like this and the lyrics afford! Thanx for it to all, who performed it so beautifully. And to Mister Waters. You, young man, are a extraordinary singer! Stay on this road. Bring happiness or deep feelings to the people in the world. Whether they like. For me... Well, I I hope a friend of mine keeps the promise and this song in exactly this version is gonna be played at my funeral
Why am I crying? So incredibly beautiful and the very best rendition via Choral Scholars of the University of Dublin!
it just broke a Million when I clicked on it, congratulations!
I'm absolutely addicted to this song. Mark Waters is amazing!
Same here!
Slaínte! 🍻💚📿
Thanks!
0:59 Ahh that sounds so beautiful and mesmerizing...
Within our family it is sung at funerals and Danny boy ... when ever I hear it I am moved! ☘️☘️☘️☘️
Id love to hear them cover some James Taylor songs with Mark Waters as solo as singer. He has a similar soothing voice. This was beautiful.
my favorite choir performance I've ever heard perfect balance of soloist and group watched this many many times
I sang this song to the empty ruins of my burned down hometown earlier this year. My little town in California was completely destroyed by fire last November. I no longer lived there, but it was still home to me. I went to visit and walked among the ruins, ash still heavy on the ground and once-familiar blocks that held restaurants and taverns, schools and parks, the homes of my friends all echoed empty and lonely on the stark burn-scar, I sang this song weeping. Since it falls unto my lot - that I should rise, and you should not. I begged my home to forgive me for leaving. For surviving. For having to leave it behind.
calliope720 What a moving comment. You have a beautiful soul.
No matter what the name of your home town, this is a tragedy. If you are from the destruction that is now Paradise, Ca, how terrible the irony. I wish you the best and hope that things are much better for you, now.
Every year it burns down and every year people act surprised that it could actually happen to them.
Are you okay, physically?
calliope720 I’m so sorry for your town.
coinínbán, people in Paradise, California, were not trying to live near Silicon Valley and were actually many hours away from it. And culturally a world apart.
This kid is amazing. They did awesome. Best choral arrangement I've ever heard.
I've listened to this a hundred times and still am not tired of it! Sounds like music should sound, simple and beautiful in the Irish way. When you do it right,
all you you need is the voices...
Amazing , absolutely fucking delightful we need more people like these in the world
Nailed that To the front door boy that was mighty. ....Liam Clancy smiling down from heaven maith sìbh
I must have fallen asleep for a long time.Now they are 3.2 million viewers. GREAT.
Congratulations to the conductor \ teacher well done
So Divine In Every Aspect,
Truly Wonderful Music Indeed.
Finishing the decade with this. Seemed perfect for the occasion.
Thinking of Donegal and this helps
I'm nearer the end than the beginning, I have seen much sorry, I have tears I my eyes, peace and love to you all.
I've listened to this off and on for the last few years, it's such a beautiful song and so well sung by the lead singer and the girls and boys in the choir. Thank you.
I am absolutely addicted to this. Can there anything be more beautiful than it? They have picked the right song, too, and as a man I can't withstand mentioning the beauty of the women in the choir. Irish women are the most beautiful in the world.
Our people are beautiful and have hearts of gallantry when needed , we find joy when left at peace
Amazing song, amazing voice, But good lord that green eyed girl is haunting my dreams
This is so beautiful, I can't stop listening. You deserve so much more recognition for this than you'll ever get.
Same here, cant just stop listening. Love his voice and clarity of singing and his understanding of the song.
this song takes me to my roots. my dad got drunk when he left his friends..
John O'Connor it is geat forever
remember friends; get drunk
+Skip Tracer the greatest experiences are experienced by tossing away sobriety and surrounded by good company
Beautiful! This is what real Irish music sounds like! I've listened to this a hundred times and it takes me to a far away land called Ireland! Wish I was there....from California.
I know how you feel Tom- I attended Loyola in my early years- in the 60's- had a terrific future in front of me- but homesickness for the 4 Green Fields won out! Their CD is fantastic as well
Your voices have raised a heavy heart this night, thank you
