I’m not religious but if anything were to make me become so, it would be something wondrous like this. Shed a tear every time, wishing I believed, so I would know I’d see my late son again.
We sung this in the Notre Dame latirgical choir for mass and vesberse. It was beautiful with the amazing acoustics of the Notre Dame Basilica and the Saint Mary's Church of Lurretto.
This is a great arrangement. I sang it as a child in a boys choir and it resonated with me then. What I notice now is how deceptively simple it seems, but it is actually quite complex. Not a wasted note. And yet, it sounds so rich and moving. No need for a lot of notes when the right ones will do. A masterpiece!
My dear, Ralph Vaughn Williams wrote this piece. While John Rutter was alive at the time, he was seven years old, and while musical, he wasn't as precocious as Mozart! In this particular instance, Mr Rutter is conducting.
I wonder how this song will sound if has and air of baroque style. Pardon my ignorance I am not a musician but I love music. I like the rendition but I just wander how will sound if is expressed in a more joyful manner, really enticing the listener to be part of a wonderful experience with Chist our Saviour.
If you think that it needs to be more joyful, then I suspect you're not really getting it. This is a subtle invocation, respectfully and gently encouraging people to taste. It's not a over the top praise song. This is about tasting, sampling, dipping the fingers, not about spiritual gluttony or massive indulgence.
Probably the most boring thing Vaughan Williams ever wrote. No idea why it's popular. I get that it was used at the queen's coronation, but if I were her I would have fired Vaughan Williams for submitting this.
Revisiting this since the service of our beloved Majesty Queen Elizabeth II featured this piece. Gorgeous melody.
It was a beautiful choice.
Perfection in musical style and message.
Lovely piece, Thanks so much. it was very helpfuf to our church choir preparing for a service to celebrate the Coronation! of Charles III.
My fiancé' will walk down the aisle to this beautiful song, at our Wedding
Such a simple and uncomplicated hymn but also supremely beautiful.
O taste and see how gracious the Lord is: blest is the man that trusteth in him.
Sweetie, Ralph Vaughn Williams wrote this, so I hope you're being sarcastic!😎

Composed for the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in Westminster Abbey on Tuesday, 2 June 1953.
Wise choice!!
Going to be part of her funeral as well.
I plan to watch the funeral as well; even getting up at 3 AM
Over fifty years ago, we got to sing this in sixth grade at our sixth grade teacher's wedding! ...A nice choice for a wedding song!
I sang this last year in 6th grade ^^
It was a big choir with lots of grades, but we were in the same one when we sang it!!
Yes, my fiancée' will walk down the aisle. during this beautiful song, at our wedding
A perfect prayer.
Wonderous. I used to sing this as a chorister, first as a soprano and then as a tenor. Oh the memories. Beautiful beautiful.
I thank you so much for these videos ... during the pandemic I've not sung in a choir anymore and I just enjoy singing with these videos. 🤗

[Jesus said].."I am ascending to my Father & your Father, to my God and your God."
John 20: 17
I can't understand your pain, but Jesus can.
Thank you for your thoughts.
I loved singing this in a church choir!
This was sung at our wedding in 1961 by the boy's choir at St Paul's Episcopal Church in Kenwood, Chicago.
Perfect, amazing and brilliant all at the same time well done Vaughan Williams

This was my first solo! All Saints Church, Hampton: 1986 🎼

It's not arranged. It's sung as Ralph Vaughn Williams wrote it.
I love singing this 🎵
Chosen by the queen for her Funeral
Nope. This was written for her coronation.
Reminds me of Robert Holdstock's admiration of Vaughn Williams in his fantasy novels Mythago Wood and Lavondyss.
Amen!!🙏🙏🙏😎
My favorite of ALL John Rutters pieces.

I know that, but it was The Cambridge Singers, led by John Ritter.
Thanks

Nora Poholka Do the yt function playing at 2x speed. Won’t make it better though.
When was this composed ?
In 1953 - by Ralph Vaughan-Williams especially for the Queen's coronation. It was the music sung while she took communion.
Is Ralph Vaughan Williams The Maker of the song
Yes, Vaughan Williams wrote the music. The words are from Psalm 34, verse 8.
Yes
Psalm 34 v8
Really nice music, but the stave isn’t in the same key as the recording...
Yeah it is sung f#major (6#s) instead of gmajor (1#)
Are they all singing a semi tone lower?
