- Full story here, please read me 😊 After a lovely introduction from the Dean, singing starts 1min 30secs. This was a big deal for Cormac, we are very grateful to everyone for supporting him. 👍, comment, share 🙏 We will be uploading more songs v soon. Easier not to miss them if you hit that notification bell on Cormac's channel.
Cormac opened his #liveperformance with his most recent release 😊 Accompanied on the organ by the wonderful @harveystansfieldmusician and his equally wonderful singing teacher Daphne Sumbler, it really was a day to remember for him. A BIG THANK YOU to @blackburncathedralmusic and @blackburncathedral for having the faith in Cormac to pull this off! A nerve wracking experience for any musician but especially when you're only #12 #Boytreble #chorister #recital #sing
Recorded by #dadcam (i.e. a phone and ipad!) We were pleasantly surprised that it worked so well. Cormac's #liverecital treated his audience to 8 songs but that's way too long for one video! The vocal is completely live and has not been touched but BIG THANKS to @Dinokazamia for a brilliant video edit👏👏👏
Cormac, I know this was a long time ago.
You have an impressive self-confidence when performing live. From the very career start and throughout.
Spellbinding your audience with your magical radiance, even before you start singing.
So this is just a comparison then and now, and far into the future.🥰
What confidence, what talent.
Congratulations, Cormac! Thank you for sharing this great event with your virtual audience around the world! 👏🏼
you are very very welcome, more soon i promise 😀😀😀
A wonderful solo performance Cormac, and in such a setting so appropriate to carry the acoustics.
Simply lovely. I didn't know Handel's Semele. Well, Cormac does beautifully. He brings us back to Handel's day.
Just recently discovered you, Cormac. Wow, Wow, Wow. What a blessing. Long may you sing.
I love you so MUCH boy! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
U r just a live angel 😇
God keeP you blessed for us all... Amen
another masterpiece! wow wonderful Handel magnificent singing
You did a wonderful performance here Cormac. You've grown so much since this performance. Very proud of you. Cannot wait to meet you in person.
Thank you, I was really nervous doing this, I spent the summer holidays learning all the songs I sang, i think i did about 8 😊 and I'd been to the studio to record Pie Jesu, May it Be, Empty Chairs at Empty Tables and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas the week before this too, it was a busy summer, no holidays that year but travelling was still all weird cos of covid anyway so that was ok 🎵
You are a blessing dear Cormac, this Sunday, September 12, it will be 3 years since my father passed away and the sadness is eternal in me, you despite the distance and not knowing us in person, I am happy with your songs, good treatment and way of being, I began to support you for being a Child since only you are able to bring me joy, the one I need so much. Thank you very much indeed, thanks also to your parents for the great education in values they give you, excellent song as always.
Hello David, I am very sorry to hear about the loss of your father and we will be thinking of you today. I am pleased that Cormac’s singing helps you, music is always a comfort in times of sadness it lifts our spirits and helps us heal. Thank you for always supporting Cormac, we are very grateful for this. Alison (Cormac’s mum)
@@CormacThompson Thank you very much dear Alison, you yourself can see that children are joy made person, I identify with them, the best inheritance that my father has left me is to be a Knight and who is so knows how to respect and is good. You are a blessing to me even if we are far away.
The audiences are so fortunate~
Well done my boy. I in New zealand snd I fell proud for you.
Thanks for sharing this Cormac, some very lucky people in the audience, if I lived closer I would have been there in a heartbeat! 👍👍
I am really glad you enjoyed it😀 it was brilliant to be back with a proper audience and not be in the living room any more🎵🎵🎵
Thank you so much for sharing Cormac,you've done an outstanding performance.
thank you 😊 it was a bit scary sometimes but i really enjoyed singing for people again 🎵🎵
Thanks!
A thrilling singer and so precious in his manner!
I enjoyed this performance and look forward to watching and listening to the rest of your recital Cormac. Better late than never. Edwin
Amazing Cormac!
Amazing!
Thank you 😊 we need a catwalk for the next one 😉 (Alison)
I was wondering who was going to follow Aksel Rykvvin and Cai Thomas, boy trebles par excellence, whose voices have now both changed, when my wife play a video of Cormac singing "Empty Chairs..." There is something about the boy treble voice that elicits tender emotions and rave reviews and the comments here show that. Many find his singing irresistible and I thought he did Empty Chairs very well. He has an ear for popular songs. He has a lovely timbre and always sings in tune. He has that wonderful boy treble habit of picking high notes completely cleanly out of the air, something which most of our current opera singers seem unable or unwilling to do. After listening to several of Cormac's tracks, I still wanted to hear more. He is an interesting singer. All that said, I think that Cormac has far to go to achieve the standard recently set by Aksel and Cai. His tone, while clear and in tune, is sometimes thin and there is a breathiness in the middle voice that should not be there in classical music. It passes as a technique which some may like in pop songs, but not here. Watching him, he never seems to take much of a breath and he does indeed break phrases into smaller pieces than most singers. This is particularly noticeable in songs like Handel's WYW, where most of the phrasing is pretty much standard, but it's there in other pieces, too. WYW is a difficult song to sing well, and with so many well known renditions from John McCormick on down, it isn't something you should do unless you can at least sing all the phrases and notes more or less as they do. In this rendition, there is no ornamentation in the da capo, which many boy trebles have done, and there are no turns or trills, either, and these latter are more or less standard for any singer in this piece. I think that some of these technical issues may just be due to a lack of training and I wondered, "who is teaching this fellow?" While it takes some time to make a habit of proper breathing, it isn't that difficult to teach. While Cormac's vibrato-less singing is acceptable and even preferred by some for trebles, you can't sing runs and trills without learning a proper vibrato (which you can learn to turn on and off) and the vibrato goes with using a full breath. Once that comes on, you can work to sing runs and trills "on the vibrato," (Vennard). I wish Cormac great success in several more years of singing as a treble, and I hope he also finds help to grow as a vocal artist during that time. If that happens, I'd love to hear him sing more Handel and even some of Handel's, Purcell's and Mozart's more demanding pieces.
So, so beautiful Cormac! Congratulations on this amazing performance! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thx Ellie, it was the first song so i was a bit nervous, glad it sounded ok 🤗the fab acoustics helped too 🔊😊
Great❤🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I feel blessed each time I hear Cormac sing as it touches the very soul.
Wow Cormac! You nailed it again! Can't describe the right words how well you sang this piece with your pure and beautiful angelic voice. Thank you!
Hi Saki 😁 finally i get to sing in front of people and you get to see it even if it is on youtube 😊 so glad you like it
Wunderschön. Danke für deine Darbietung. Eine wahre Freude in dieser Zeit, genau das was wir brauchen!
Vielen Dank, Sie sind herzlich willkommen. Ich bin sehr froh, dass Ihnen das gefällt. Ich habe noch nie ein Solo-Rezital gemacht. In den nächsten Wochen werden noch ein paar Songs zu meinem Kanal hinzugefügt.
Stunningly beautiful Cormac, I remember doing this classic myself during vocal training many many moons ago, and it’s still as beautiful today bravo 👏
Cuanto talento y cuanta sensibilidad al interpretar esta obra que exalta el alma. Que Dios te bendiga Cormac al igual que a tus familia y a tus maestros. Que sigas cosechando éxitos con tu gran talento. Saludos desde México.
it’s sooo good Cormac! and in the cathedral all the echo is like totally epic and i just love it live!!!🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🤗🇬🇧
Thanks Charlie, maybe one day if the world is ever normal again maybe i can sing in America, i would love that 🎵🎵🎵😀😀😀
@@CormacThompson that would be so awesome!
Wonderful Cormac! Congratulations on a fantastic performance. You did us all proud! 🙂🎶
I couldnt have done it without you and daphne, thank you 😃 you were fab too 👏👏👏
Amazing and wonderful singing Cormac! I wish I was there to hear your complete recital!
Thank you as always, my mum has sent me you a message. so glad you enjoyed this 😊
Adorable. Nice to see Cormac seems to be on a good path. May he always experience the blessings articulated in the song. [Edited March 8 to be consistent with addition to Apple Music noted in my reply below.]
Thanks for adding the audio to Apple Music.
Beautiful singing, Cormac! :)
Thank you 🙏 only one knee was knocking! 😀
An angelic voice, a joy to hear you sing.
It`s a great pleasure to hear Your Voice again. Thank You so__o much . Greetings from Germany
Greetings😊 delighted you enjoyed the live version 🙏
Cormac you little darling. This is a truly divine performance. You sing with such elegance and display beautiful resonance & intonation.
Your little sweet big voice is phenomenal. You are a true star. I can imagine your household at Xmas time,
Cormac's songs/dulcet tones playing at the Xmas dinner table. Pure class & very pleasing to the ear. Keep on doing what you're doing Cormac. Just magical! xx
Thank you 😁 big favourite to sing 🎵🎵
This was really good. And to sing it in a church, makes it so heavenly to hear. Keep it up. 👍
The acoustics in Blackburn Cathedral are amazing 😀 I'm v lucky to live so near, thank you, great to hear you enjoyed it 🎼
This is a good
beautiful ! congrats ph ...
thank you 🙏🎵🎵
I can’t wait for a new CD to come out
Thank you Paul, that would indeed be lovely but sadly Cormac will not be able to record another CD. Without a record label it is just too costly. Please keep watching on RUclips as all his new independent single releases will be added here. (Alison, Cormac's mum)
Nunca havia ouvido anjo cantar. Deus abençoe .
This is so special, Cormac. I wish I could have heard that music reverberating around such a beautiful building.
This was one of the first songs I sang as a Tenor so it will always be one of my favourites.
It’s amazing to see you performing live so confidently and fluently. Anyone who has never done this can have no idea what a brave and unique thing it is to bare your soul so passionately in song. I bet you were super nervous but you don’t betray it even slightly.
Bravo bravissimo!
Thank you 😃 it's a big favourite of mine but that didn't help me not be nervous 🎼🎼🎼🎶🎶🎶 i'll keep working on that 😃
I would like to be one of those lucky audience in that beautiful Cathedral if I live closer than 7.730 miles away! 🎶
The odd thing, I was already Subscribed and had a notification bell's on and there's not a single notification about new video :)
it would take you a v long time to get here 🙏 but you would be very welcome 😀 v strange about the bell! could you try clicking it again maybe?
You sound at home singing like an angel in the place of angels. Lovely natural acoustics and a dynamic powerful voice filling the space. You've done yourself, your family, the cathedral and treble music a great service, so be proud of your performance. I look forward to the next instalment. 🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🤗😇
You are always so kind @paulsharp thank you 🙏🙏🙏
@@CormacThompson Praise where credits due 🤗
Brilliant work & well done Cormac. You can't beat a cathedral to highlight the treble voice. A number of young singers post (Antonio can hear the editing and auto tune straight away - better than me) so its brilliant to hear someone just get up and sing unedited and so well. Congratulations to you and your parents (nice work dadcam) I hope you enjoyed your first recital.
Thank you🙏 the acoustics here are just brilliant, I am very lucky the cathedral's so close to my house. I was nervous doing this, I havent sung for an audience for a long time but i was ok once i got going everyone was very kind afterwards and I think they enjoyed it and as mum says that's all that matters 🙂
@@CormacThompson :-) Mum's are very smart people. You were great, time to think about a Christmas concert carols and trebles are a great match.
Nice job well done!
Thank you. Good to have you listening all the way from Ann Arbor.
