    This song came on Classical MPR (Minnesota) on June 19th at approximately 9pm. I remember clearly because I found it so incredibly moving that I literally pulled off the road and stopped my car to soak in its beauty. By the end, I had tears in my eyes. Without understanding a word or knowing the song title, I could feel the lamenting. I went to the station website to learn more about it and eventually landed here. Actually seeing it performed makes it even more moving-- the energy and commitment of the violinist is electrifying. This is one of the most lovely pieces of music I've ever heard and I feel truly blessed to have experienced it in my lifetime. Bravo, Sir Jenkins!

    I recorded and watched the performance. It moved me to tears! I remember the event so well. I was 13. I felt numb and traumatised by what I saw on black and white TV. I was very very angry with God! A senior master in our school commented: "You did not have your head bowed in prayer during school assembly. Why not?" I replied: "Why did God let Aberfan happen?" He said nothing and I bottled my feelings up. It became a real stumbling block to my faith for the next 20 years - before I was able to reconcile that it was the Coal Board and not God to blame! Thank you to the composer and performers. It was a fitting memorial work. Bless you all... and the people of Aberfan.

    • @eggmayonnaise325
      @eggmayonnaise325 7 лет назад

      That must have been so traumatic for you; I'm not surprised your faith was shaken. But I'm glad you've come to realise that God was not to blame. God is not the cause of the terrible things we see today and very soon he will undo all the effects of suffering, including resurrecting those who have lost their lives such as those poor children www.jw.org/en/publications/books/bible-teach/is-this-what-god-purposed/

    This is moving and brilliantly wrritten, made more so by the children coming from the Welsh valleys and numbering if I am correct exactly 116 the number who died. The violin , the nearest instrument to a human voice is amazing!! A true cry!! I was the same age as these children 11 Years old and it was the day my childhood ended. Adults have no answers and are powerless even to defend children. What is so terrible is to me is that the injustice of the huge amount of money that was collected from all the world was taken by the powers that be to remove the very slag tip that buried those children!! It was the biggest injustice this country has ever done!! What is the second travesty??.......That given the chance to show this amazing moving Cantata was only available on BBC Wales!! English viewers had to rely on Classic FM to broadcast it, and eventually BBC 4 show it after the 21 st October!! Hardly a fitting remembrance!! But.....perhaps there was a reason!! They didn' t want us to hear in one of the pieces the words sung by Bryn Terfyl " Buried alive by the National Coal board". Enough said........rest in peace little angels.

    This is extraordinarily emotional. Joo Yeon Sir is superb. What a fitting memorial piece. One of the most moving compositions I have ever heard: I love how it weaves the vocals, violin, chorus, all with distinct tones into a wonderful tapestry. The violin soars and dances over the somber vocals and orchestra, like the human spirits escaping as the mud and sludge descends on the village.

His performance of hope and legacy and Romeo and Juliet are very similar to the aura given off by this song. Especially as his Romeo and Juliet free skate was created to personify the earthquake and tsunami in Sendai, Japan.

    I am deeply impressed by the performance not only of the soloists among which Bryn Terfel has been one of my most favourites ever. Also I bow to the children's choir. They did absolutely marvellous.

      What happened back then was so terribly sad one cannot imagine how heartbroken not only the parents, siblings, grandparents of those killed on this dark day were left.
      The many, many men and women coming to help proof that in times of despair there's always that human touch in our hearts that makes us what being human means.
      This music, the whole piece is so beautiful and I am so happy for your having been part of such an utterly important performance. Being a choir singer myself I know this performance will always be in your mind, sould and body. No matter what life my throw at you ;-)
      Please keep singing!

      He-s Welsh, he remembers Aberfan. I remember it as as aa kid. It broke my heart and I lost my faith in a Westminster government ever looking after the interests of my Wales (Cymru). I weep even now, thinking about it.

    Aberfan. Proof, if ever you need it, of god's complete indifference to the suffering of mankind. What a piece of .... he/she/it is.
