After she grew up, her grandparents sold a few play items of hers, a lil kitchen set, dishes, refrigerator, sink with a stove, & a little vacuum cleaner. I was inside this store the day her grandparents brought it in to sale or dispose of it & I got the opportunity to purchase every piece of it. I was beyond thrilled. She was a happy & loved little girl. So happy for her & may God bless & protect her!

    Interesting take on the song ... the choir is actually performing “The Winter Rose” ... a completely different song from a Christmas cantata ... and the juxtaposition of the two works is simply stunning. What’s even more amazing is how Leann collects herself after her heart-felt message just before launching into the performance. Simply amazing 🤩 Luv, luv, luv U, LeAnn ... thank you God for bringing this angel into our world.

      Yes, it's a setting of "Es ist ein ros entsprungen" written by Michael Praetorious in 1609, but it's a Christmas choral favourite and a hymn to the Blessed Virgin; she's The Rose. This is a wonderful setting for it, how LeAnne and the guys found their notes was remarkable. 12/10 for everyone.

    Apart from an amazing performance from LeAnn Rimes and The gay Men's Chorus of Los Angeles, this message is so strong: at some moment in time people can be who- and whatever they want, without being condemned for it. Accepting every person, humanity as a guidance to life is rarely expressed with such passion.

    The conductor of the choir is Tim Seelig, the amazing conductor of Dallas' Turtle Creek Chorale. He built the chorale up from nothing, made it world famous, made numerous recordings. And all this while the chorale was being decimated year in and year out by AIDS deaths. Such a dark, dark, time. Such non-stop pain for a decade. I had several friends who sang in the choir until their deaths and for whom the chorale was their closest family.
    Dr. Seelig and the chorale by the dint of their bravery, artistry and open, raw emotion performed concerts that dragged audiences and finally the entire city into being their supporters. He is now working with the San Francisco chorale. I wish him success.
    And props to Leann. Any one who can sing that song in that context without loosing it is a real professional.

      We saw him and the Turtle Creek Chorale, when we lived in Dallas, in the 1990s. It was the first performance when they said that it was the first year that they had not lost anyone. At the beginning they carried out pots of plants, each one representing a singer that they had lost. I think fifty plants. It was very somber. I was singing with a barbershop chorus, "The Men of Note," In Plano, Texas, at the time, and so it was even more sobering, to us, that they lost more singers than we had. Anyway, they did not let anything stop them from a wonderful performance. and now another plague has crossed us. And like before, someone will try to look for a cause. In the end we are all that we have. No matter what the cause, nor matter what the cure will be, in the meantime we only have each other.

    • @sifridbassoon
      @sifridbassoon 4 года назад +1

      There is a video of that concert. I don't know if it's public or not but I saw it and it was very emotional. And of course there is the documentary produced by Dallas's PBS channel called When We No Longer Touch. It is devastating. But it should be watched.

    I asked her to marry me. She sat me down, and explained that she might be dying... from AIDS. I took a couple days, to ask God what to do. We got married. Twenty-something years ago. She's been "undetectable" for 20 yrs. I have been helped to be a better man, been given a life worth living. Happier than I have ever been, in 70-something years. Prayers for my younger brother, who left this world in 1994, after a 15-year struggle with his illness. God bless all the people associated with this video.
