- The second installment from my recording at the Opera America Center this fall for our upcoming program #SilentNight at the Kennedy Center presented by VocalArts DC. This is a famous British tune composed by Wilfrid Sanderson. The text can be found below - it is quite striking and haunting at the same time. Join us December 10th at 7:30pm at the Kennedy Center you can purchase tickets here: www.kennedy-cen...
Brave eyes that looked so tenderly,
Where are you now today?
Sad was our heart at break of dawn,
After you went away.
Loud sang the lark o’er fields of gold,
High in the heavens above;
Winter alone within our hearts,
Calling for you we love.
O waiting heart, I dare not tell
How dark and long the lane!
Only I pray that God will bring
Our dear ones back again
Safe to a home of peace and light
Across the furthest sea;
May God be with our boys tonight,
Wherever they may be.
Brave ones who answered your country’s call,
How could we let you go
Out of the sunshine of our souls,
Save that we love you so?
There is a place within our hearts
No one on earth may fill;
Someday at last you’ll come back to us,
Watching and longing still!
A truly beautiful voice. A moving and touching song on Veteran's Day 2023. Thank you
This helps to absolve AE Housman of sentimentality!
Deeply moving. Yet another beautiful piece of music, breathtakingly rendered. You continue to amaze...
Voix magnifique d'une chaleur et d'une force immenses…. des frissons… merci..
Keep it up John. I enjoy these videos tremendously. You are an outstanding talent!
+vindstyrka Thank you for the awesome comment!
Your recent "Silent Night" is magnificent!
Do you sing any John Dowland? Your voice + Dowland would kill me.
Careful opening up all those E's...many, many a much greater baritone ended his career early because of the same decisions
I don't appreciate this comment. Are you a voice teacher or have you studied vocal pedagogy or are you simply an amateur? I recorded this video when I was 25 years old, still very much in the development stage of my voice. I'm currently 32 with a much deeper understanding of my own instrument and how to use it. If you feel the need to come to my channel to critique my technique and insult me with your comments I would kindly ask that you please unsubscribe and do not engage with my videos or my work.
