this shit is lit af
I wonder what would John Dowland think if he knew that we consider his music "lit af"?
He'd be flattered mate!
hahaha it's a 21st century compliment so, he would be pleased =)
I have no idea what you are all talking about, so whether you liked it or not, this conversation is interesting! Thanks for that!
Your average "ah yes, this wonderful piece of sadness from the 17th century truly evokes the sentiment of grief in my delusional human heart" fan
Vs
The ultra Chad "this shit lit af 🔥" Enjoyer
Divine singing.
Thank you, Robertson. It's a good life to sing such beautiful music, and your kind words are very touching.
Yes.
I have just started having singing lessons and this is one of the songs I have to learn. Very well sang pal you totally nailed it.
@@xvminutes Hey Ryan which vocal type are you?
The song of overwhelming sorrow & grief..a 17th century classic! The extreme heartfelt emotion & perfection of this performance has brought me to tears! So delicate yet so forceful the message. How grateful I am to Ryan de Ryke (vocals) and Brandon Acker (lute) for sharing their gifts!.I myself am compelled to action and must pray for all those (today) enduring Hell on earth (news).
Absolutely adore you, Lori! Let's catch up soon.
I like the deeper tone of the baritone as opposed to the usual higher pitch vocals done for this song. It's a shame he didn't also have the deeper sounding Theorbo at this time to properly accompany these dark vocals.
Lyrics
---------
Flow, my tears, fall from your springs!
Exiled for ever, let me mourn;
Where night's black bird her sad infamy sings,
There let me live forlorn.
Down vain lights, shine you no more!
No nights are dark enough for those
That in despair their lost fortunes deplore.
Light doth but shame disclose.
Never may my woes be relieved,
Since pity is fled;
And tears and sighs and groans my weary days
Of all joys have deprived.
From the highest spire of contentment
My fortune is thrown;
And fear and grief and pain for my deserts
Are my hopes, since hope is gone.
Hark! you shadows that in darkness dwell,
Learn to contemn light
Happy, happy they that in hell
Feel not the world's despite.
That is pretty hard to understand when when you learnt English and it isn’t your primary language
@@riftmanhun5243 I get you. It is not much better even if your command of the language is decent. However, knowing the text one has to admit: Mr. De Ryke actually sings it quite clearly. Coming back to the original comment: Thank you!
@@riftmanhun5243 i feel the same reading william blake's poems, even though I have a very good understanding of the language. Something feels eerie about the way he wrote, but to be fair, its hard for native english speakers to understand him as well. Poets like him and percy byshee shelly feels like a world prize when I am finally able to interpret their poems, it takes a lot of fucking effort. Such profound kind of art is not meant to be translated, cause so much power is lost during the transcription. They are meant to be experienced as they are (although I think they were somewhat transcribed from the arcaic anglo-saxon language to the more modernized english, don't know for sure).
But john dowland (and henry purcell for that matter) communicate very intimately with my soul. Their words cut deeply into my heart, like there, they were always etched. To me, there is something very magical, though solemn, about their pieces.
beautiful lute playing.
One of the greatest songs ever written in English
Isn't it just!?
just nice not to have a castrated counter-tenor murder it
dunno man. search up gucci gang
Absolutely 10000^
You need to hear some old hymns if you think that
Oh, dear. I'm in love. Phenomenal performance from two incredible gentlemen.
I'm using this video as the example of Renaissance Lute Songs for my college Music Appreciation classes today. Incredible musicianship from both. Absolutely superb.
I love this song; I've been looking for a good recording of it and this is not only better than anything on Spotify, it's the best recording/performance of it I've heard. amazing
Wow! That is one of the nicest things I've ever read! Please be in touch. That means a lot!
This is my favorite performance of this piece. I return here often to listen again. Beautiful job!
The strength and presence of his overtones, especially on sounds like oh and oo, is absolutely astonishing.
This is truly a splendid rendition of this song.
If you could perform also "Come heavy sleep" by Dowland, it would be the greatest gift!
very skilled guitarist and lovely tone singer :D love it
+Owen Longley *lutenist
fair play aha
+Owen Longley :D
Stellar performance! I love classical music, but have never heard this piece before. What a beautiful melody. Brandon, great work on the lute. Ryan, your voice is spectacular! The rich baritone sound is excellent and what a great place to bring out the best in the acoustics. Nice job on the videography, as well Daria! Bravo! Best, -Rock
Those are some really, really nice compliments. Thank you so much! Truly!
Thank you so much to Ryan de Ryke (vocals) and Brandon Acker (lute) for this precious performance. It's like honoring the memory of my beloved mom (I lost her just three months ago).💖
An exceptionally beautiful, and well-trained, baritone voice.
Honestly this the definition of goals
Far and away the best version of this song that I have heard. Thank you
Love this performance! Very involved and expressive. Thank you!
Thank you, Mikae! That's very kind!
Mesmerizing, what a beautiful piece beautifully performed
Beautiful and very moving rendition...thank you
Удивительные люди. Потрясающая, Волшебная Музыка. Снимаю шляпу.
Спасибо (говорю за них, так как тоже причастна, потому что сняла это видео :)
Fascinating!! Really magnificent. Congratulations.
Beautiful profound voice. Bravo 🤘
So wonderful
Exquisite beauty here. What an amazing performance!! Brandon and Ryan, you are a wonderful team and it was perfect. I have goosebumps!! Brandon, I found your channel through "RockRulz". I have subscribed! ~Jackie
Thank you, Jackie. That means the world to me!
These two are extremely talented. If you practice your craft, this is the apex of what can be achieved..
heavenly sung ... thank you
Very good performed. With passion! Perfect the lute.
You guys should do this in Elizabethan costume
Amazing!!!
♡♡♡ i love the lute....
Flow, my tears, fall from your springs!
Exiled for ever, let me mourn

Never may my woes be relieved

And tears and sighs and groans my weary days, my weary days
Of all joys have deprived
From the highest spire of contentment

And fear and grief and pain for my deserts, for my deserts
Are my hopes, since hope is gone
Hark! you shadows that in darkness dwell
Learn to contemn light
Happy, happy they that in hell

Hark! you shadows that in darkness dwell
Learn to contemn light
Happy, happy they that in hell
Feel not the world's despite
Amazing.
The best version on youtube
I have a mid term and this is on the test
What is the purpose of stating this? Try to appreciate the opportunity to engage such sublime beauty
This performance is divine, are you ever gonna put it up on Spotify?
More vibrato than I would’ve liked but it still sounds pretty good. It’s a beautiful song. No wonder it was so popular in its day.
Superb!
Thank you!
My heart
Still brilliant
Excelent!
Thanks!
Why is the singer sitting dooooown! This piece requires so much support through long lines, and sitting down puts pressure on your diaphragm, hampering your breath control!
Diferent times, other aesthetics. I think, this music was originaly meant to be played in smaller/private places. So the singer would not need to project the voice as would be supposed to do in a sec.XIX/XX concert hall. I think he is sitting down to have better connection with the lute, like a chamber music formation.
(sorry my english, not a native) best regards!
a lovely heartfelt piece, beautifully played and sung. thank you! and just for the benefit of one born in the 20th century, what does " lit af" mean?
👏👏
If it's possible, do you have the sheet music for this? :)
my tears....
It should be made the official anthem of depression. Love the Song.
Amazing. Where was this filmed?
Thank you. Alice Millar Chapel in Evanston, IL.
Great romantic performance.
Glæsilegt.
flow
So i see that lute has frets & oud is fretless.. am i correct..?
99% correct. Oud is fretless. What looks like frets on the neck of the lute is tied strings, which can be angled to suit the player or key, so they function as frets. And there are frets on the body that are fixed, if you look very closely. I too, am filled with curiosity, so I research as much as possible
@@richardstevens4230 interesting.. kinda like a sitar you mean..? And thanks..
gut
Came here after Rob's video
Sublime. Just an observation, those lyrics would not be out of place in a Death Metal song!
Otherworldly...
Ok ... that's one cute Lutenist.
Sheherazade Poppy Roou Was thinking the same, haha damn
so cute, he looks like toby maguire
Clearly you're not talking about me. This is awkward. But Brandon is undoubtedly very handsome. Thanks for watching!
Oh yeah
Some how I read: "That's one cute Leninist" Must have been studying the Russian revolution to much lately.
Dear Brandon Acker, Beautiful performance and recording (except for the distortion at 3:14). As a recording engineer, you should always note the recording venue. Where was this recorded?
The performance is stellar. But the camerawork is... unintelligible. I can see the person who did it had a plan and put in effort. but could use a little more practice.
I was going to make a rude, juvenile comment but I decided not to. This really is like traveling back in time.
Hannibal can sing :/
1:18 dafuq cut those nails
Are you really Steve Buscemi? Are you sure? And no, you're probably not talking about me anyway. But if Steve Buscemi asked me to cut my nails, I would. But then I'm not a lutenist.
Was hat ein derartig luziferisches Lied in einer Kirche zu suchen?
Huch! Du machst ein sehr gutes Argument, aber es war ein wunderschöner Raum, der verfügbar war, als wir ihn brauchten! Wir haben das Beste mit dem gemacht, was wir hatten. :)
Bit of a gay song, prefer Sleaford mods.
Oh, it is not very good
agreed needs to be performed by a counter tenor
You are right! It is VERY, VERY GOOD!
