- Robert Burns: The Gallant Weaver (1791)
Where Cart rins rowin' to the sea,
By mony a flower and spreading tree,
There lives a lad, the lad for me,
He is a gallant Weaver.
O, I had wooers aught or nine,
They gied me rings and ribbons fine;
And I was fear'd my heart wad tine,
And I gied it to the Weaver.
My daddie sign'd my tocher-band,
To gie the lad that has the land,
But to my heart I'll add my hand,
And give it to the Weaver.
While birds rejoice in leafy bowers,
While bees delight in opening flowers,
While corn grows green in summer showers,
I love my gallant Weaver.

Impresionante composición, qué belleza de voces!
Now I want to go out and find myself a gallant weaver.
I totally just found this piece by accident... and now I'm bawling. Rad!
Oh shut up
Same! I love it.
Thank you so much for putting up these wonderful videos and for all the effort you put into it. For years I have been learning those songs. If it wasnt for you, I would have missed out on so many uplifting moments in my life. Thank you!
thanks! :D
LOVE IT! I just wish it was longer.

It is good that Scotland at last has a classical composer worthy of her fabulous musical heritage.
I wouldn't call James McMillan's music "classical". But why "at last"? There have already been some Scottish composers before James MacMillan (1959- ), e.g. Hamish MacCunn, Erik Chisholm and Thea Musgrave; and he has Scottish contemporaries such as Sally Beamish and Judith Weir. And Peter Maxwell Davies lived and worked in Scotland but wasn't born there so I don't know if you'd count him.
how about Paul Mealor? his Crucifixus is marvelous
ahhah I just checked and Mealor is welsh!! but I do know he is working in Aberdeen University nowadays
omg ! subdivide in nine voices ! this so pretty ! i love that song !
Just heard this on 90.1 and happy I heard it it’s beautiful for the soul all the worries go away the chorus at points something I would love to hear as the gates of heaven open up
Incredible

Truly transcendental and beautiful.
Gorgeous!

Is this the composer that composed an orchestral piece with a bagpipe soloist? I think to commemorate the battle of Culloden. If so he visited my university to give a talk on his life and times (Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand.). He had the bagpipe emerge from out of a wall of sound as though the wall of sound was the battle itself. I was impressed. It worked...as does everything I have listened to by this composer.
The ALTO 2 line at 1:58 breaks my heart!
As an alto 1, I am so jealous that they get to sing that.
The face I made at 1:16... 🙃 That harmony is just incredible, and the polyphony is like no other modern composition of this era.
1:15 literal goosebumps
Love singing this piece.
same
I love my gallant Weaver...
Have a good time.
Could you make Ravel's Bolero HD?
🎼🌝🎵🌸💐
Can please talk about the hand at the end?
I don't know where it's from, I could never find the original painting, but it's the cover of a CD by Gerar Lesne, music for a while
this score where I can find it?
Does this poem have a deeper meaning or is it just describing a pretty scene?
@@ewanmackaycomposer god, this piece is amazing, it breaks my heart... I adore british :D folk music, there was a music presentation in my conservatory a few years back, everybody sang opera, or chamber music, I sang 2 british folksongs :D
There is a strong underlying Christian message. All the riches in the world were hers if she wanted them, but she chose the gallant, presumably poor, weaver. That is beautiful. The virtue of humility.
I think the idea of marrying for love rather than money may not be a specifically Christian. I tend to think the poem is a love poem rather than a religious allegory.
The maid loves the gallant weaver. But her father promised her to the man that has land. At that moment look at the intervals that are being sung. These are the same notes that are used in the end when she can't utter any more words of truth, she can just hum to herself of her true feelings. And so she becomes silent. It's truly sad.
I'd rather a recordist made high voices a bit quieter while having made male's background louder
This recording is by the Sixteen, a group that purposefully has extra sopranos. I definitely hear what you mean but thought you might be interested to know why there's such a big difference.

Where are you? 😢
in an E 11 chord (1.41)
An absolutely beautiful song. It really is a soprano's song though. This would be a bit boring if you're any other part.
Nah, not really! As a bass, I love singing harmonies
I agree, I sang this last year, and I'm a tenor, and I liked the part I sang.
I'm with you, Jrnemanich. Beautiful but boring for a tenor like me.
I agree it's pretty boring as a tenor, but still beautiful!
Thank you, I didn't know ! If you don't know him yet, I recommend you this famous french composer: ruclips.net/video/EMzefPThzm8/видео.html (here a choir), ruclips.net/video/4l9Se8dPjBw/видео.html#t=50m34s (end of his stunning Oratorio fantastique...)
Superb writing fir voice. Truly beautiful, but "marshmallow music"! - may your saccharine soul melt from that perjured comment. I agree that the treble range is too strong, almost drowning the lower voices here. A pity, but still grand!
Marshmallow music.
*Beautiful* music.
I really wish you could explain that remark. I've been a professional conductor of choral and vocal music and opera for 40 years. I've performed - to much acclaim - music of every genre and style, with Professional, University. Community and Church choirs and ensembles. If there is one thing in the world of which I am utterly confident, it is my ability to assess musical repertoire. And this is masterful, musical, creative, and fantastically 'vocal.' If you don't like it, that's fine. It doesn't mean it's bad.
J S marshmello music is a artist who makes songs but it’s more like beats it’s really pretty and like inspiring
