My favorite Ritter piece, done masterfully by the ensemble. I love when adults and children combine to create music, underlying the importance of family and faith. I am officially a fan.
Thank you for your kind and thoughtful words. John Rutter is a treasure, and this piece really resonates with us. And you are right, these timeless messages of faith and family are why we sing! Thank you for your encouragement. 🎶
@@thesmithensemble4053 - well ? Thank you for that! You have done quite a good effort on this Rutter piece. I certainly do hope that I get the chance of encountering Rutter a second time - if so. I do look forward to it. And perhaps not too long in the coming.. From the perspective of a Church Chorister I was quite impressed with the effort with it. And that is probably going to be one of the better complimentary views expressed.
Still a wonderful anthem. A very close second place to a very liked anthem by John Rutter. And closely matching with some sadness for me! I lost my sister in law who passed away three weeks ago. This one I quite like. And reminding me that family is everything. The other one is ' Look to the day!'
So sorry about your sister-in-law. 🙏 That is hard. Family is everything. They are the ones that are most likely there through thick and thin. I am glad you like this one. Hope it can continue to bring some added comfort. We will have to look up your suggestion!
You know! This was where I began hearing you. And well! As it is said ! The rest is history.. I still remain hopeful that one day - we will meet and perhaps we can sing this together. Christmas greetings to you all!
I have just had a few days in Wells and it's not been the easiest of times - it's nice to hear your version of Amazing Grace and having had the loss of my older brother to contest with. I'm heading back home now! I appreciate your efforts! Both past and present!
So sorry about the loss of your brother. May you feel peace and comfort from our Savior Jesus Christ. 🙏🌹 Thank you for your kind words. Hope you had safe travels.
I'm starting to look at Christmas Carols and a Church Chorister I listen very carefully to variations and I think back to past Christmases and thinking of my family and how it's going to be different. But I hold to the Chorister Prayer and what I sing with my lips I bring forth to my heart. And that's giving me the courage to carry on! I sincerely hope that you might one day come to Britain and I get the chance to meet you! I hold to that as well! I guess that makes me quite a fan of yours!
So fun that you have started listening to Christmas carols! 🎶 Christmas and family go together. I hope you feel much peace as you choose your carols and sing your hymns! Music does bring so much solace to our souls. It would be a dream to come to Great Britain and perform. We love it there! Such beautiful surroundings, people and history. We hope to meet you someday as well! Dreams can come true!
Such a beautiful, inspiring performance with an equally beautiful setting. This is the type of music we will find in Heaven. The group hug at the end was the perfect finishing touch!
This rendition brings tears to my eyes! It is absolutely beautiful! I have probably watched it 20 times in the last three days. Your family has such a marvelous unity and wholesomeness. I was touched to see the prayer together at the recording studio. Thank you for sharing yourselves and your voices!
I certainly do hope that one day - we'll meet and have the pleasure of doing another of Rutter's marvelous pieces together. A favourite character of mine from Star Trek would say that there are always possibilities. I hope so.. And there's quite a few that could well be done.
I just found you guys and LOVE your videos. You all are so blessed to be able to make music as a family! God has given you amazing talent and how wonderful that you use it to bring glory to Him.
I don't know who is directing. I'm a choral conductor and someone gets the two note collapsing phrase and sub phrases within phrases. One of my mentors said "no two notes in a phrase should ever be alike" You are masters of choral music and i love the clean clear vibrato free and perfectly tuned sound It's natural and free and unforced Heaven!
This has been a collaborative family project,” says the husband. The wife says, “It’s mostly my husband.” Either way, Mark, sincere thanks for your kind and generous words. We are grateful you felt something from our musical efforts. 🎶
@@mikeyn7778 Not even Richard Dawkins claims to know that there is no god. The common definition of atheism, used by people who actually call themselves atheist, is 'a lack of belief in god(s)'. There is no positive claim here to believe in, so please stop misrepresenting our position!!!
John Rutter is one of my favorite composer/songwriters. To find a group who not only sings his songs well, they let the Spirit behind the song shine through feels like a preview of Heaven. Thank you all for sharing.
Look at the world, everything all around us, Look at the world and marvel every day. Look at the world: so many joys and wonders, So many miracles along our way. Chorus: Praise to thee, O Lord for all creation. Give us thankful hearts that we may see All the gifts we share, and every blessing, All things come of thee. Look at the earth bringing forth fruit and flower. Look at the sky, the sunshine and the rain. Look at the hills; look at the trees and mountains, Valley and flowing river, field and plain. Chorus Think of the spring, think of the warmth of summer, Bringing the harvest before the winter's cold. Everything grows, everything has a season, Till it is gathered to the Father's fold: Chorus Every good gift, all that we need and cherish, Comes from the Lord, in token of his love. We are his hands, stewards of all his bounty. His is the earth and his the heavens above. Chorus
Beautiful, the melody stays and plays in my head for days now.. as a piano player I enjoy your amazing voices while playing the piano partiture of this lovely song
It's just occurred to me. That I have a true story of an encounter with a couple of members of the Vicars Choral portion of the Wells Cathedral Choir back on October 25th of 2020 and two others of the choir at the White Hart Inn Hotel, in Wells in Somerset in England. It's a rather amusing tale and begins at 4 pm on the mentioned date. I had booked up a long weekend to replace a coaching holiday that year, due to the first Covid 19 lockdown from the 15th March 2020. I spent the Friday to the Monday of that particular weekend at Wells. I had just pulled away from the Festal Evensong service and had returned to the Hotel when I encountered the two gentlemen of the choir - the Senior Bass and the Countertenor and one of the latter's two sons. To which I had a splendid conversation with them, which lasted two hours from 4pm of the afternoon, to just about 6 pm. Halfway through this, we were joined by the older boy of the Countertenor. But also unfortunately the two gentlemen felt the requirements of use of the facilities. And promptly started to sing! The older of the two boys of the Countertenor grumbled..... " Oh NO! NOT AGAIN!!!!!" He was - as you might guess, none too happy about that! The Members of the Vicars Choral require no excuse to start singing there. The grumble didn't stop the two gentlemen of the choir. Both carried on.. Much to the consternation of the older boy of the Countertenor.. Who, then at the top of his voice, complained about this and said. " WILL YOU TWO .... SHUT UP!!!" At this point of proceedings. I was highly amused by the situation and I am afraid that I made things a little bit worse for the young fellow. I knew something called " Merbeck " to which I sung this..... " 🎼🎶 Oh deareee me, o lad you've had it! 🎶 You won't stop them, not one little bit! 🎶 You'll think that is quite the catastrophe! 🎶 You won't stop them, that's it, for thee!🎶🎶" Anyway, it - I'm afraid to say, didn't make that young gentleman's day. Not on the 25th of October of that year! I did consider it, the best two hours of my life.. And there is a second story involving the Wells Cathedral Choir in 2021 - which I would love to tell you. I will say, that it's probably helped to save my life from being shortened by up to 50%. I'll tell you about that story, on another occasion.. The story that you have read! Is a true story involving myself! And yes! It did happen!
Well - thank you for that.. I shall have to follow up with that other story involving the Wells Cathedral Choir again.. I will say that it's quite a serious story as well! And when I said that the situation of this.. Probably saved my life.. Then that's no exaggeration but a true fact.. Stand by for the 30th of this month.. I will put it here then!
You are welcome! So grateful to be able to praise God through song. Hope you have enjoyed some of our other videos and check out our CD at thesmithensemble.com

my favorite version on youtube. Thank you Heavenly Father for giving this family such an obvious love for you!
Wow! I'm deeply touched.
Thank you Julia. 🌺
I was already enthused with Rutter - and lucky to have met him in May of 2022. And that was lucky. To have done so. And at Wells Cathedral in Britain.
What an opportunity! That is so awesome. My husband has performed at Wells Cathedral. Beautiful place. Hope to meet Rutter some day!

Praise to thee, O Lord for all creation.
Give us thankful hearts that we may see
All the gifts we share, and every blessing,
All things come of thee.
Look at the earth bringing forth fruit and flower.
Look at the sky, the sunshine and the rain.
Look at the hills; look at the trees and mountains,
Valley and flowing river, field and plain.
Chorus
Think of the spring, think of the warmth of summer,
Bringing the harvest before the winter's cold.
Everything grows, everything has a season,
Till it is gathered to the Father's fold:

Every good gift, all that we need and cherish,
Comes from the Lord, in token of his love.
We are his hands, stewards of all his bounty.
His is the earth and his the heavens above.
