Roy, to be blessed with gift of singing and knowing when the time has come -puberty would often lowers the ability to hit the highs. It has been a delightful journey with lots of sacrifices in having to practice practice practice. It is truly a very special moment lasting maybe 5-7 yrs depending on when you started. Those were glorious memories to be had. Something tells me you will not stop since your voice has changed, you will continue and be a better tenor. Roy, you have what we say -the star quality where your soul speaks the language of music. Many were able to hit the high notes technically however, in your case, your soul vibrations carried out via the vocal cords so that the frequency of love and passion were shared and felt by all. This is why once in a blue moon, a voice which touches the souls of the audience, is special. You have that gift and so please treasure this for the rest of your life journey. When you sing the universal energy from above transmit through your head into your heart chakra and finally burst forth from the quivering of your vocal cords - in perfect harmony, in perfect vibrational frequency of love and passion. Treasure this young man and share as much as you can because with your voice, you heal people emotionally, mentally and spiritually... that is an awesome gift...be IN the light, be OF the light and BE THE LIGHT !!!
Roy, amo você, não deixe de mandar notificações por favor, acompanho você desde sua infância e gostaria de continuar, mas quase tudo o que você tem publicado já vi. Publique por favor mais trabalhos seus, quer seja cantando quer seja tocando piano. Obrigada.
In this boy, and in this performance Is wrapped up all the good in the world. Thank you for sharing this I am sure Mozart would smile. Best of luck in life.

Absolutely beautiful...moving....we didn't get the privilege on a council estate in grimsby....but I changed that for my children and my grandchildren even more....education and opportunity for all...🥰
I've been told that both my father and his brother sang this 80 years ago when they were the soloists in their cathedral choir. Beautiful piece of music and one I always enjoy hearing. Good luck on your continuing career in singing (dad became a baritone, his brother a tenor although neither sung professionally when they were older, the war probably had something to do with that though).
How beautifully you sing! Its hard to lose that angelic voice. You must miss your high vocal range. But change is inevitable for all of us. So glad you made this performance. Wishing you the best in your singing career or hobby! Greetings from Cali!
Boy, you are an incredible singer, either treble / soprano or tenor / baritone, and surely a very good person. Many thanks. Congratulations and greetings from Argentina.
Roy !!! Thank you for this wonderful performance. Your voice as a soprano is exceptionally beautiful, clear, full, saturated, with an exceptionally beautiful timbre and color 😍👍💯🐦🎶🎹☀🌈🐬. All your performances are beautiful, endearing, touching the heart and the most sensitive sensations of feelings and soul ❤🕊🕊. Thank you for that, for your talent and creativity so far. Your altered voice, probably a baritone, will be equally great 👍😃🐯🐬🌐🎼🎹🎤👏. Good luck and best regards 🤩🖐❤ .. Piotr from Warsaw
I'm an atheist but if there would be angels in a Heaven this is what I figure they would sound like. And what to say about my most favorite composer ever, Mozart.... Masterful... Thanks for postingd allowing me to enjoy this...
I heard your soul singing, Thank you for sharing your voice, not just a gift but also your hard work and dedication to enhancing your skills. You bring smiles out in a world that needs more joy.
Good thing you recorded it. When a boy's voice changes, it's drastic. I remember being able to scream at high pitches when I was a young lad. Now I sound like a contrabassoon.
Oh dear ! That just reduced a 71 year old man on the other side of the pond to tears. The camera was a long way off and that some how enhanced the listening experience - what a beautiful sound.
Very nice Roy, your tone is lovely. Interesting to see where your voice goes to next. I'm now a bass/baritone and with a good voice. But if I had started as young as you who knows where I might have got to. Best wishes.
Roy, will still have the voice of an angel - just a bit lower! I am so grateful I came across this video, as I loved to hear him! God bless Roy! Peace and joy, Brother Charles
Roy....... como você cresceu tanto assim??? Está um rapagão!!!! Aprimorou-se bastante e já é um grande profissional!!!! Parabéns!!! Você não imagina o quanto fico feliz. Obrigada.
Bonjour, c’est magnifique et un très beau souvenir à conserver ! Je vous souhaite un bel avenir de chanteur . Lorsque ma voix à changer il y a très longtemps, de soprano je dois devenu ténor, mais en arrêtant complètement de chanter pendant 3 ans. Bon courage pour la suite. Et encore bravo pour ce chant superbe.
Truly delightful to listen to. Very well done indeed. It is wonderful to see our youth have the opportunity to give life to their unique talents. I recall singing in choirs in my younger days. Music and singing is a powerful force - it unites and uplifts the human spirit. Such a joy.
I am so sorry your voice has begun to change Roy. When my treble voice dropped so many years ago I was a very sad boy. But thankfully you have all those beautiful RUclips videos of your performances to enjoy. RUclips hadn't been invented when I was a boy. Now as one door closes, a bright new door opens with wonderful musical opportunities just waiting for you. Thanks for sharing your beautiful and special voice with us. I hope it won't be too long before you're singing again in your new register.
Thank you very much! In fact, I am currently singing around the register of a tenor/baritone. I love singing, so I will not quit! I'm glad to hear that you have had good memories as a boy in a choir!
@@RoyvanVugt It's easy to see you love singing. Now just let your voice settle into its new register. I'm sure your singing teacher is already taking you carefully along the right path. If you want to look at videos of another excellent boy treble who is now singing baritone, check out Aksel Rykkvin here on RUclips. He's good at answering questions too. I really do have great memories of my time as a treble. After my voice broke it finally settled into baritone range. My singing teacher eventually got me to audition for a cathedral choir in my city and I had some wonderful years there.
Thank you for sharing this Roy. I have attended many concerts and Several Festivals in Bad Toelz. I always feel a touch of melancholy when we lose the Boys voice and feel a deep sadness whenever I listen to the magnificent voices of the past. With some soloists, I have been able to detect an increased richness in the tones shortly before the change, It is pleasing that you have gained so much personal satisfaction from singing and hopefully, you will be blessed with a "New" voice soon.
I saw this and then listened to all your clips. Most impressive for the beauty of the tone, perfect intonation, and your sense of ‘fraseggio’, complete with sophisticated ornamentation. You have the best teachers, but there is much in your singing that must be innate. It will be interesting to see how your adult voice turns out. The center of your voice is lower than a true boy soprano, who always turn out baritones or basses. You could wake up and find yourself a tenor! Really a splendid talent.
I was the lead soprano at my church. I am 81 years old now and I hope you appreciate your contribution to the Music World that your beautiful Voice has made. Haec olim juvabit meminisse.
@@RoyvanVugt I love the fact that all singers and musicians - professional and amateurs alike - keep the musical and cultural heritage alive. We are like links in a chain twirled into a wire. We must remain numerous and stick together so that the chain does not break.
Privileged to have caught this in time. Beautifully performed & I trust you will continue to use your years of training & practice to enhance & hone your adult voice. I am especially pleased to have caught this today on my late mother's 103rd birthday. It feels like a gift for her. Music is what we had most in common & we always shared (often on the phone when far apart) our most special 'finds' like this - your voice tone is so rich. Though my mother's family were professional singers & musicians (violin mostly) I did not receive the gift. Like my non-musical father I just cannot find the right notes (nor have the voice) to play or sing. So I have some experience of how it will feel to have music in your soul but not the ability to sing. For now you have touched my soul so I trust it will be soon that your voice returns & you can sing like an angel once again. If you ever make recordings I shall have your name at the front of my mind mind. Whether the lady who went in front was your mother or your music-mistress I could feel her justified love, pride & delight in those precious moments. I congratulate & wish you success in your choice of future. Dee 🇮🇪
You can be a tough guy and still have a tender heart that can be touched by beauty. Look at all the tough guys who built the magnificently beautiful cathedrals of Europe! I doubt they were pussycats! And they knew beauty that flowed out of them into stones of such loveliness!
Bittersweet!! ❤️
One of God's beauty is that of a boy treble, such an exquisite sound.
Thanks!
So nice that he’ll have a record of this... forever. And so beautifully done.
Thanks a lot!
Great to have the opportunity to hear you here in the United States.
It's a pleasure!

Grazie mille!
Gracious! When I was a ten year old girl, I couldn't sing that high! 😁 Thank you for sharing this gift with us! Best of luck in the future! 💙
Haha, thanks! Glad you liked it!
Praise His Name. What beauty. Blessings be to all who made this offering to the Lord possible.
Perfect performance to achieve this paradisiac period just before the voice breaks.
Thank you very much!
Wow, we'll all miss this voice.
You showed excellent vocal control, never shrill or strained at those many high notes. This was a wonderful performance.
Thank you very much, I appreciate that!
Un grand bravo pas de mots
Beautiful! Thank you! I hope to see future videos of you singing as a tenor-baritone, too.
Thank you!

Fantastic
Pitch perfect and beautifully sung. Only a boy soprano can achieve this perfection!! I was a "treble" 60 years ago!!
Thanks a million!
Rubbish. Trained properly girls can, too!
This brings to mind when I sang Ave Verum Corpus as a boy. The nuns taught us well, and I still can sing a strong tenor. God bless Roy!
Beautiful✨😍
Blessings ✨🙏🏼❤️

That was exquisite! You really did glorify God singing His praises with such reverence and beauty.
Thanks!

Thank you!
