The late Jeff Buckley also did an ethereal version.of this. He also covered the late Leonard Cohens Hallelujah a finer version. May they rest in peace.
this reminds me of a childhood mate i had a very pure connection with. he suddenly died when i was 6. we were so in love, we both knew it, no need to talk of it or even kiss because we did that with our eyes, our whole presence embraced the moment when we were together. it was unlike anything i ever saw between teo people. we were so present in this love that there was no need to enact on it. and maybe that‘s what life is trying to teach me. love is simply meant to exist. nothing more nothing less i guess. but i wonder if i’ll experience anything like it again. a connection so pure and genuine. now grown up a young woman, so pretty that men are afraid of the love they feel for me and reject me for their fears of rejection. i feel like it dehumanizes me. they think they suffer alone, they think i could be dangerous. not realizing that they are exactly that for me. i‘m still hoping it will change, or someone will end this, wishing to some day have a child with a man that loves me as pure as my childhood mate loved me. just a dreamer. please ignore me if you wish, i‘m used to it. i do not take it personally. because nothing can stop the dreams in my heart or the tears as i‘m listening this - or stop you from still reading this comment. probably crying too. brother haha. soulmate?
now it reminds me of the man i love today. stifled by fear, like every other men that fell in love with me. the wounded knights. unable to heal while me being naturally healing in presence. just wanting to rush towards me, interally bleeding. day and night. by that cognitive dissonance of only dreaming of me instead of attaining. and me in my mind, every minute kneeling beside my knight, weeping for them to get well. day and night. losing hope. because it happened just too often for me. statistically i know the chances are low they‘ll survive, but my stupid heart. so sick of only working. i feel like a siren that only suffers her destiny. i want to experience how i got into this world. but i guess i belong to the sea. well, but in my mind, hopefully some day. hopes as high as my expectations haha. high on emotion. no wonder, we have change of the moon today. it’s as a gateway, or a limbus, just potential. i guess as anything in life. thorn birds. why?
This version of the Corpus Christi Carol by Benjamin Britten for John Hahessy. John recorded the piece with BB in 1961. They also recorded at the same time the world premier of BB's canticle " Abraham and Isaac ".John Hahessy is now known as John Elwes
@jimkirk363 : I've just searched on Wikipedia and so is said: " Singer-songwriter Jeff Buckley included his interpretation of Britten's work on his debut 1994 album, Grace." Therefore: "interpetation by Jeff Buckley" and "Britten's work"...I think it's clear.
@nickast31 It's Ted Huffman. Together with Stephen van Dyck he formed the 'Treble Boys' and in 1993 recorded the CD 'The Treble Boys - Wonder Solos and Duets for Boy Soprano', still available in the shops.
@jimkirk363 : music by Britten, lyrics by anonymous from 1500. Benjamin Britten was a composer of XX century. Jeff Buckley had arranged this composition in own way. However it's all right, guy.
I sang this in the 1980's for high school choir, and the word for "mak" was instead the word "child". Could this song be a christianized song of the 1500s referring to the biblical Mary continually weeping for her child, Jesus? That is how it was interpreted in our singing of this song in a public high school in the 1980's.

I think you should write poetry, and songs. You've a way with words. I understand your struggles, and I hope you have a wonderful life.
So poetic ...
OMG what a beautiful song!

Too beautiful to be true

The CD is called 'The Treble Boys - Wonder Solos and Duets for Boy Soprano'. It's available at Amazon.

"Why do you stand by the window,
Abandoned to beauty and pride.

The spear of the age in your side..."

Being a naîve child (9yrs old) i thought this carol was about the primary school i used to go to
You didn't know it was about Texas?
@@joeytwosubs por que de texas?
@jimkirk363 : "Britten's work" means that the author was Britten. The lyrics was written in 1504 and not music.
"The falcon hath born my mak away"
Boys' voice is so pure
reminds me of a book called thorn birds
This song is so beautiful, that makes me cry so often ! Who is singing ? Very good interpretation from this boy !
My mate, my match, my companion. "The falcon has carried my mate away".

@scantpiper yes but the original was written in 1504
what does it remind you of?
@hand2gland : but this is the original, not a version ^_^
did you see this.. Corpus Christi... no joke... Corpus Christi
Does anyone know where to get this recording?
Does anyone know what mak means in the second line?
make
body
@@betteurbain7911 Actually you are both wrong. Mak means mate as in mate for life, partner, lover etc.
@@AnahiltMG I think I've read that elsewhere but how does it make sense in the context?

Do you know if I can get the record somewhere in the net? I can't find it.
No shops in the jungle.
This is a boy singing! Wauw
This was written around 1504 while this maybe an original version this person did its not he original song... just search the song name on Wikipedia
