i carry your heart with me - Salt Lake Vocal Artists

The Salt Lake Vocal Artists perform "i carry your heart with me" by David Dickau on December 19, 2015 in Libby Gardner concert hall under the direction of Dr. Brady Allred. This video was taken during a Vocal Artists recording session following their tour to China to perform by invitation at the first ever IFCM World Choral Expo held in Macau, November 12-15, 2015.
Piano: Laurel Enke Palmer
Text (poem by e.e. cummings)
i carry your heart with me (i carry it in
my heart) i am never without it (anywhere
i go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
i fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
i want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)

I never don’t enjoy listening to this and can never listen just once, it makes me so sad and grateful simultaneously. This is my favorite version of this on TH-cam! You deserve more views, the emotion is pouring out of these speakers at my face. Good speakers help to really hear it. It’s not the same on Alexa as on my pc surround sound, it diminishes the experience quite a bit. Great job Salt Lake vocal artists

[@rhiannonlarsen5805]

[@SamVillano]

What an incredible composition, and what an astounding performance!

[@chantgirl]

This is just one of my absolute favorite pieces! So beautiful!

This is like the Disney version of Eric Whitacre's rendition

For the love of my life... I love you so very much. Te amo mi amor, mi vida.

Dr. Allred always does fine, fine, fine work. Great conductor. Beautiful rendition.

You should present it as " word's by ee Cummings, music by David Dickau. There would no song without Cummings wonderful affecting words written much earlier

[@plica06]

I was wondering why the Nerdwriter video essay on E.E Cummings was showing up as a related video!

[@CharlieNme11]

It is presented that way in the description

What Kelly Nelson said. Just click on "more" and read it. The full poem and the full credit is there.

[@lindseyrupp4877]

beautiful but ever so slightly too slow

A song to touch body and soul ...I could listen to this forever

[@barbaradobson9298]

[@carolynclark1724]

Beautiful!

[@LauriHogenkamp]

I love this!

[@yuehchopin]

sehr bewegend, GOttes Segen.

Yet another gem of a recording you have squirrelled away in your archives for a few years before finally releasing them on TH-cam. I wonder why that is.

[@CharlieNme11]

There is no squirreling, it just takes a lot of time and effort to turn hours and hours of audio and video footage from concerts, tours and recording sessions into TH-cam videos and CDs. Salt Lake Choral Artists is a non-profit organization and does not have someone on staff who edits and produces audio and video content even part time. Everything you see posted is produced by members of the ensemble who donate their time and equipment to do so. I can say that because I'm the one currently doing it. Someone else shoots the video footage and hands it off to me. I edit the audio and video and post on TH-cam. I have a family and a career on top of the time I spend rehearsing, performing, recording and touring with the group and while I'd like to be able to produce videos more quickly, sometimes there are other priorities that take precedence and life happens. I'm really glad you and others enjoy the videos, which is why I will do my best to continue posting them! Meanwhile, please be patient with me. :)

[@ellesdekker1922]

Thank you for all your effort, Kelly. I'm following your lovely choir from the Netherlands and you are an inspiration to me and my choir!
