Jesus saves

Gorgeous version. Thank you. I sang this song in a Celtic group in Budapest, Hungary. Wish I'd had access to a recording like this. It would have helped immensely in trying to interpret it. Anyway, much love to you from a much less talented singer.

Beautiful song, lovely voice! What is that instrument that you are playing? I’ve never seen one before. It looks like a cross between an accordion and a violin!

What sort of instrument is she playing at the beginning? This is such a beautiful song.

Magnificent ❤

Wonderfull!!

So emotional beautifull!!

Nice version of Wilie o Winsbury!!! Kind regadars for millady Anna from Bosnia&Herzegovina!

That is one impressive instrument! Great rendition of our local tune.

Very very nice. Oity so few views.

grand version and also a singer that actually knows the history of the song..

Just found your channel by chance... You sing this beautifully, thank you for sharing.... ❤

Beautifully performed 👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️

So Beautiful.

The difference between this and Niamh Parsons's version astonishes me.

Hello, Anna - a wonderful concert. Besides your amazing versatility, sei bravissima!! At the end (about 21:00) when you played the plucked lyre, you reminded me of something I recently learned. I was curious about how a similarly ancient instrument was created, the Pipes of Pan. It has a lot to do with lust, love, or desire, as the case may be. The following is more or less the Wiki account: Pan and the nymph Syrinx (or Syringa) One of the most famous myths of Pan concerns the origins of his distinctive musical instrument. Syringa was a beautiful water nymph of Arcadia, daughter of the river god Ladon. One day, returning from hunting, she met Pan. To escape his importuning, Syringa ran away without listening to the god's compliments. She ran through the woods until she found a reed, and as she prayed she was transformed into a reed. When the wind blew through the reeds, a plaintive melody was heard. The god, still infatuated, and unable to identify which reed Syringa had been transformed into, took some and cut seven pieces of decreasing length (some versions claim nine) and joined them side by side. Thus Pan created the musical instrument that bore the name of his beloved Syringa. From then on Pan was rarely seen without it; the instrument is also known as a pan flute. (We derive the word for syringe - whether medical or for basting - from this myth. It also echoes the story of Apollo and Daphne, in which Daphne was transformed into a laurel tree to escape the clutches of Apollo.)

Wonderful! And who wrote this song? You, Anna, or is it an oldie? Always gratifying when the bad guys get their comeuppance, especially from a supposedly defenseless young lady. I also love the squawking sounds from the bass clarinet, or whatever that is.

Saw the wonderful Coracle in Coleford - Forerst of Dean a few weeks ago .Anna, this tune struck straight through to my soul and was the highlight of the evening. I can't stop playing it. Absolutely beautiful! Thank you - Peter

Beautiful rendition 💗✨

Thank you! This is stunning. The background/ history of the song is a welcome treat. Good job. This is not an easy song.

Absolutely beautiful! And I totally get it! It’s such an Olive Oyle & Popeye thing!

An instrument and song I probably didn't expect to hear together but no doubt we are all the better for it. Great work, well done. I especially love those last few notes of the Viola da gamba from 8.34 ...

Those church collars have it all wrong - this instrument, the nickelharpa, clearly comes form heaven. Save us, Anna!

Wonderful tune, great performance. I was expecting some crazy tempo like 13/8 or worse and I was afraid I'd run out of fingers and have to take my shoes and socks off, but I was simpler than that. Maybe you should have a "follow the bouncing ball" at the bottom of the screen to help out us slower folks.

A marvelous instrument. I've never seen the like. And a wonderful explanation and demonstration. (I came here after my John Barleycorn marathon.). Thank you dear Anna!

I'm trying to learn this song through a tutorial video someone made. Great for pronunciation, but nothing beats hearing tbe song at the proper tempo to music!😊 Thank you!

Ver good!

Marvelous your singing, Anna, and your playing of the hurdy-gurdy, an instrument all too rarely heard. By the way, could "Beowa" have anything to do with Beowulf? I already read in Wiki that an early version of the song was called "Allan-o-maute" (or similar), or "Allan of the malt", which pleased me because my name is Allen. (Thanks also for saying ale instead of beer. For quite a few years I made my own ale, and so I appreciate the difference.

magic Anna

"Which is almost right...but a bit wrong" was quite lovely for whatever reason

You sing well in billions of ways Anna, and this song is awesome and you are awesome singing and playing your instruments.

An excellent version Anna, thank you, from The Cauldron

The outdoor sound is inaudible. Ever thought of getting a reverse-osmosis filter.

What a voice1 What an artist!

I love this song. You sing it perfectly.

Anna, I love everything about this film, especially how you found many of the "impossible" / absurd locations proposed in the song. Poetic, imaginative, haunting. I adore your work.

superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Gorgeplaying and cello! Who made the instrument?!

My great great grandfather

Hey, thanks for sharing his with us, Anna. I loved your interpretation, vocals and hurdy-gurdy playing..

This song is a good teacher. It is at least many centuries old in English. Variations on it might indeed be thousands of years old, easily predating the English language. For millennia, in western culture the primary food was bread. [For my fellow Americans, “corn” in British English translates to “wheat” in American English (or more generally, any grain with a kernel). Barley remains barley.] This song wonderfully illustrates some of the main themes of mythology: sustenance, the sacrifice required for sustenance, the death required for life, the cycle of life, rebirth. Since the agricultural revolution, that has meant grain crops. 🍺

Grandes lobs dos

Great music! Love it!

Анна Там, Анна Тут)

And WHAT a wonderful instrument.

I am grateful for you and your music, and autumn is my favorite time of year. And yes, thank you to the bees. Did you know that flies are also marvelous pollinators. Just read about that this year. music

Hi Anna! Hope you're doing well, staying in good health and high spirits! Just wanted to say I really miss Folk from the Boat series... Hopefully you can drop us an episode some time! Cheers! ❤

Love the history you have shared, Ana Tam. My gosh, I have some (at least 47) histories to learn from. OH!! A hurdy-gurdy!!!! Love your voice, and your choice of tempo. You and your hurdie-gurdie get along quite well. A match made in Heaven. Also heard at least one or two new verses. Bless you. r
