Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander, When twilight is fading, I pensively rove, Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander Amid the dark shades of the lonely Ash grove. 'Twas there while the blackbird was joyfully singing, I first met my dear one, the joy of my heart; Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing, Ah! then little thought I how soon we should part. Still grows the bright sunshine o'er valley and mountain, Still warbles the blackbird his note from the tree; Still trembles the moonbeam on streamlet and fountain, But what are the beauties of nature to me. With sorrow, deep sorrow, my bosom is laden, All day I go mourning in search of my love. Ye echoes, O tell me, where is the sweet maiden? She sleeps 'neath the green turf down by the Ash grove
ooooops….this is very square….today i've heard the britten piece for piano and voice and few other instruments, afar, from another room, on the radio….it was piano and voice mostly…. and much "edgier" than this….what was it? can i find it on youtube now?
thanks, i have found those folk songs now but i don't think that this is what i've heard on the radio the other day...maybe it was abraham and isaac? i can't remember any more how it sounded but nothing that i can find on web by britten now makes me so interested as that brief radio experience...maybe i should listen from afar again? LOL!
Oh, that was so well done, beautiful!!!!!!! How sweet.
Down yonder green valley where streamlets meander,
When twilight is fading, I pensively rove,
Or at the bright noontide in solitude wander
Amid the dark shades of the lonely Ash grove.
'Twas there while the blackbird was joyfully singing,
I first met my dear one, the joy of my heart;
Around us for gladness the bluebells were ringing,
Ah! then little thought I how soon we should part.
Still grows the bright sunshine o'er valley and mountain,
Still warbles the blackbird his note from the tree;
Still trembles the moonbeam on streamlet and fountain,
But what are the beauties of nature to me.
With sorrow, deep sorrow, my bosom is laden,
All day I go mourning in search of my love.
Ye echoes, O tell me, where is the sweet maiden?
She sleeps 'neath the green turf down by the Ash grove
Thank you!!
You sing this so beautifully! I absolutely love the part from 1:40 - 1:55 both you and your accompanist are particularly expressive there.
Takes me right back to 7th grade! I used to be able to play this on the Recorder and Trombone without sheet music. Now I can only whistle the tune!
This is amazing. She is soo good at this. I'm a soprano, but when it comes around, I'm a middle part in this song :) Wow. Just wow
Beautiful.. thank you!
Beautiful voice
Thank You
Ah! Benjamin Britten!!!!!

Good accompanist too.
I've watched this like 20 times and I just now realized she isn't moving😅

these are folksongs arranged by britten, just piano and voice. there's another book for voice and guitar
