I Love you, I Love you, I Love so immensely, Mother, mother, sweet mother. For your Love and your kindness, I will sing your praises all of My life. (Ahh) My soul is delirious at the cries of your pain; My music throbs and groans its length. Lord, in your kindness, Comfort My mother. Give her your Love, your strength and your light. For she remains forever My great inspiration, And that My life for her is a blessing. (Ahh) --- --- French Text: POUR TOI, MÈRE Du fond de ma mémoire, Au creux de mes souvenirs, Entre mes joies d'enfant Et tous mes rêve d'avenir, Je te sens mon bel ange; Je te vois mon amour O ma mère au coeur tendre, Ma fidèle amie de to...    less

Jazz doesn't really fit My voice very well, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm in Love with it. I also felt like this song would be the perfect opportunity to prove I don't use pitch correction. There is an awful lot of reverb on this song (more than I normally would use), but I figured since there are a few solos you would clearly be able to hear that I don't use any correction software (especially on the 2 soprano solos haha) It would really make My day if you would like, subscribe, and share this with everybody you know. Like I said, no pitch correction was used (or will ever be used). This will most likely be the first and last vocal jazz piece I d...    less

No grief of night can weigh Against the joys that throng thy coming day. Sleep, little heart! There is no place in Slumberland for tears: Life soon enough will bring its chilling fears And sorrows that will dim the after years. Sleep, little heart! II Ah, little eyes Dead blossoms of a springtime long ago, That life's storm crushed and left to lie below The benediction of the falling snow! Sleep, little heart That ceased so long ago its frantic beat! The years that come and go with silent feet Have naught to tell save this — that rest is sweet. Sleep, little heart. http://www.choirplace.com/profile/Nathaniel Matthew Curtis https://choraltracks.com/  less

We recently recorded this with Nigel Owens for a TV programme. He always wanted to sing his favourite song with a Male Voice Choir. We in Dowlais were so pleased to help him realise his ambition. Hope you all enjoy listening to a great referee and a great Choir, as together we sing......MyFANWY.
