Hear my Prayer
Hear my prayer, O God, incline Thine ear!
Thyself from my petition do not hide!
Take heed to me! Hear how in prayer I mourn to Thee!
Without Thee all is dark, I have no guide.
The enemy shouteth, The godless come fast!
Iniquity, hatred upon me they cast!
The wicked oppress me, Ah, where shall I fly?
Perplexed and bewildered, O God, hear my cry!
My heart is sorely pained within my breast,
My soul with deathly terror is oppressed,
Trembling and fearfulness upon me fall,
With horror overwhelmed, Lord, hear me call!
O for the wings, for the wings of a dove!
Far away, far away would I rove!
In the wilderness build me a nest,
And remain there for ever at rest.
English text: W Bartholomew

Thank you Jessica Holmes for your beautiful light clear voice.
What a beautiful clear and accurate soprano.
After expressing my enjoyment over this recording I can tell you that I am old enough to have heard on BBC and become enthralled with the contemporaneous second recording of the same music by Master Ernest Lough. How fortunate I am at having the ability to listen to the old and the newer recordings.
The Ernest Lough version is unique. (in my opinion). Can never be bettered. You however make a distinction between the 1st & 2nd recordings. Not sure which is which. (I've heard both). But I mean the commercially released 45 rpm version. (Not 78).
Perfect intonation and phrasing. A joy to listen to.
Hear my prayer
I've got goosebumps
this is quite intriguing. I am thrilled! this is beautiful.
An absolutely beautiful piece but also an absolute nightmare to learn an essay about this off by heart for a music exam🤦♀️
Sophia Burgundy you have to 'learn' an essay?? not just write it? is the learning somehow part of the exam?
@@QHarefield yeah, kind of. By that I mean u have to remember all the melodic+harmonic+developmental etc devices. And the essay is just saying which devices are used where, with which text etc. So I write a draft essay at home, putting everything into sentences, then I have to learn off each point and write it during an exam eg. In verse one we only hear Sopranos with the accompaniment. They start on "for the beauty of the earth" with a rising scale and ostinato previously heard in the introduction, with 4-3 suspensions.
And that's fine except theres a whole a4 page of it and you have to go through the whole song haha. I guess it's just something that has to be learnt and done, no point complaining too much.😂
@@sophiaB270 Wow! I had no idea. Thanks for casting some light on your struggles!
Not easy to sing
Good tempo.
