I love how the main vocal is smiling all the way while she's singing.
I loved how you noticed this and mentioned it. It's so true.
If Michelangelo is correct, that "the true work of art is but a shadow of the divine perfection," this group of young singers casts a very long shadow.
Gorgeous comment. Thanks for this.
Completamente de acuerdo. Una sombra muy grande.
beautiful comment, i can tell u r a very beautiful human being, thank u
Pretentious?... Moi?.
@@123reivax123 Ok, the original comment was great, but this is also hilarious
Emily, if you're still watching, this was a wonderful way to go out gracefully...
Absolutely moving and touching. I lost my beloved husband and soulmate very suddenly 11 weeks ago. This piece has released tears I couldn't cry before. Thank you ♥️
I wish you all the best. I do hope, you are not alone. God be with you. Many greetings
Our deepest condolences. May his spirit guide you forward through the darkness.
One year, nine months and 3 days since my wife died suddenly without warning. I feel your pain and also share in the joy brought by this group regardless of the configuration.
@darlowmaxwell7346 I'm sorry for your loss. I hope the loving memories and beautiful moments with her are able to hold you up through your journey.
I've been grieving for 7 years, as the 4 core people of my life passed. My big brother just turned 60 and died far too soon.💗
I’ve j been wondering if I have met the love of my life in the past and I don’t know but the beauty of this performance tells me that I have not. Maybe it’s still in my he future
I miss Emily so much...funny thing is I have only been listening to Voces8 for a little over 2 weeks and she left nearly 3 years ago
I got to hear them sing in concert in Nashville last month. One fo the best concerts I've ever been to. They sang this as their encore piece. They are probably the best group of their kind.
I’m having a really difficult time at the moment and this brings so much comfort
Kate Spalding Hope things are better for you now. Christmas can be a very difficult time.
Yes the comfort we all need
I'm sorry you're struggling right now, I hope times improve for you soon.
You’re all so kind. Things go up and down.
Your kindness is the Voce8 community x
Hoping things are better. Stay safe.
Each voice just hangs there, complimenting one another perfectly and sublimely
I love this group. I am 76 and
enjoy their music. Just bought
4 CDs.
This was the first piece I ever heard sung by the group. 3 albums and hours of listening later, I am enthralled by your performance. I wish I was younger so I could be a fan longer. I have been an amateur chorister for most of my life but your collective abilities produce a vocal beauty I have not heard 'til now. Thank you for your excellent work, please continue.
henry rutland your youth has been restored. ❤️😇🤓
So perfectly said. “so I could listen longer.”
Why do i need to cry each time listen to this wonderful music... Sigh. Love love love lady emily so much.
That's a beautiful version, and I assume, Kate Rusby who wrote this lovely song adores it too. Congratulations to whoever arranged this as well.
If you promise me that these voices will sound in the eternity of heaven, I could not wait.
Beautiful music from the poetry of Emily Dickinson. I discovered her poetry and enjoy it to this day.
Pure heaven. Perfect pitch, balance and phrasing. I'm a new fan of these guys. They're a true bliss.
Jonathan Foote
A choir of Angels; Soothes a cluttered mind, stirs a once still soul, humbles a brazen brow, bringing the hardest of hearts crashing down to their knees. A stone has cast aside its impregnable exterior and flourished into full bloom, now naked and vulnerable.
Breathtaking, sentient and introspective - a chord that surely resonates within every living being.
They are Divine Healing Voices. Even Bach would have cried...Gently.
The harmony in this piece is so incredibly beautiful. Moving and poetic!
As a traditional choir singer I never was into these pop-like glissando's, but with this perfection and performance - there is nothing better! I could listen to this for the rest of my life
Top secret tip (which I'm thinking you may already have discovered): Glissandi are *necessary* for perfect intonation. I've known church choirs that are against them because they see them as "pop" and want to distance themselves from pop, but then inevitably fail to sing in tune. (Similarly, I've known choirs refuse to use a metronome or feel the beat, and then inevitably sing out of time). The glissandi can be small in both pitch change and duration, but they must be there. All this applies to the violin too. All just my opinion, of course! 🙂
Oh my god. Where have I been? This was the first song I heard from them...and it was so moving the tears are still there. Thank you VOCES8.... I was thinking talent was a dying thing...but you are magnificent. Thank you for keeping talent alive!!!
Talent? It's hard work my friend. Daily, persistent, real, work.
I just found my super group. Those voices are like the angels.
Thank you Jim Clements for such a beautiful arrangement. And to Voces8 for a beautiful performance to inspire our choir to sing this at TMEA.
Now enjoy a daily fix of this song go gently.. love it so much as an ear worm that I have ordered the music on a CD. Thankyou for the version.
You are a centerpiece rose among a garden of vocal delight. Your lofty silver crowning voice will be sorely missed... adieu
??? Did she die?
@@guilhermesobrinho1329 I think she is just going gently of her own free will.
One of my favourite songs by Kate Rusby. Absolutely gorgeous. x
Aww!! What a tender moment, and a beautiful way for Emily to leave and "go gently" on her way! Best of luck to your next chapter, Emily! Much warmth, light, and love to you!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful gift along with those who became your best friends, over the years, and for us to listen to, and get touched by!
So stunningly powerful - a reminder that humans can be more -
With heavy heart I bear listening to this song,always help kerp me calm and also promising that tomorrow is gonna be better
All their work is amazing but I can't stop listening to this. Each hearing is like the first time. Go Gently.
With love from South Africa 🎶
A true perfect ensemble in every matter. just incredibly wonderful.
Magnificent. Thank you to R Brothers for teaching me to sing this way. A lifetime of music, loved.
I love the way she expresses herself while singing this. Just warms my heart. #CRUSHINGonEMILY
I'm so glad I found this group of singers. I can't stop listening their songs and it helps me with my mental health illness. Thank you.
Ruel Sunga, music can frequently soothe one’s mind and heart !! Keep listening to exquisite music. It soothes mine as well.
I was blessed to hear this this past weekend in Harrisonburg, VA! What a treat!
After listening to this, I went out into the starlit night to savour the full, beautiful effect.
Voces8 sang this in Hamburg tonight. Kate Rusby, thank you for this musical gem!
Kate was amazing! She will be missed, but her plans will be making her happy and that's what matters 😊💕
Simply Beautiful words, sung absolutely beautifully. Thank You.
OMG this sends shivers up and down! How beautiful and touching to the very core. Thank you for this amazing rendition.
Emily, this is stunning. Congratulations for an amazing 8 years of service to the enrichment of our lives
A wonderfully fitting farewell. All the best Emily. Your voice is a jewel.
Yes, these were the words I was looking for. A fitting farewell as she "goes gently" - so lovely!
Oh.. I don't know the story ..? 😪
I'm imagining Emily was one of the singers..? 💗💗💗
@@peneleapai She's the blonde doing the solo. :) She left the group around the time of this video, I believe.
Hearing Voces8 perform this lovely arrangement this past Sunday in Grass Valley, California was a sublime experience! Their new soprano, Eleonore Cockerham (they introduced her as, 'El') was excellent!
Thankyou for your singing Emily, the world needs this 'high frequency' singing more than ever. Best wishes.
The soloist's voice is truly unique, very beautiful.
The Turtle Creek Chorale, of Dallas, TX will be singing this at our holiday concert, Shimmer and Shine from December 14th through the 16th, 2018. I only hope we, approximately 240 men, can do this song the justice VOCES8 so magnificently did.
EVERY time I hear this...I get chocked up and come as close as I EVER come to actually CRYING!!
What's with THAT!!!!
SO MOVING!!
I wish it was longer!
This work is so marvelous so many emotions involved!
I was part of a workshop with these wonderful people before their concert tonight. They then invited us to sit in on their sound check. They truly are amazing and an inspiration to anyone out there who desires to sing choral music. This song in particular really got the tears flowing. As beautiful as this video sounds it cannot do their live performance justice.
we sang this at my graduation and the seniors got that solo at the end. I don't think there was a dry eye. Thank you for this wonderful song.
These people are so young, beautiful, and talented that it just fills me with rage.
Wow, that is good to listen to, thank you for the upload
This is too beautiful! Listen at your own risk. Your heart might break!
Yes, it did.
Mine was!
it did break, but still i want to get the baritone line right
Yes, my heart broke. But this music healed it.
Wow! did you make this song soothing and thought provoking. Well done to all members of the vocal ensemble. 👍👏
Merci Mr Jim Clements pour ces arrangements lumineux ! ! !
I’m glad you like it!
Too beautiful. I’m crying. .
This will always be my voces8
I never tire of this song.
Underneath the stars I'll meet you
Underneath the stars I'll greet you
There beneath the stars I'll leave you
Before you go of your own free will
Go gently
Underneath the stars you met me
Underneath the stars you left me
I wonder if the stars regret me
At least you'll go of your own free will
Go gently
Here beneath the stars I'm landing
And here beneath the stars not ending
Why on earth am I pretending?
I'm here again, the stars befriending
They come and go of their own free will
Go gently
Go gently
Underneath the stars you met me
And Underneath the stars you left me
I wonder if the stars regret me
I'm sure they'd like me if they only met me
They come and go of their own free will
Go gently
Go gently
Go gently
I had to listen to this over and over, and share it too. Faintingly gorgeous.
Heard Voces8 live in London 4 April, including this gorgeous arrangement--you touched all 900 hearts in Cadogan Hall, leaving us all breathing AWE. Simply said, you eight make life better for the rest of us--and we've been singing a capella for 65 years.
Lots of vocal hardwork! It floods the soul with peace and meekness. Loved! ❤️
Fantastic tone, absolutely beautiful, the control and dynamics. Just wow, I’m in awe.
Absolutely top drawer. If only human beings would apply more of their energies to this sort of thing instead of most of what we read in the news every day, I would feel less inclined to get off the treadmill.
So much to enjoy in this beautiful composition and performance, the complex interweaving of voices, the gentle melody, the words so wistful and poignant. Such tenderness. Who could fail to be emotionally affected? Thank you so much for sharing your talents with us.
i cant stop listening to this...
Can't wait to see these in concert again one day! Bye Emily!
Beautiful, simply beautiful. The words mean so much to me on a personal level I cannot express here. I hope Emily has progressed to greater things. But, honestly, this performance would be a lifetimes achievement for most people. Thank you Emily and Voices8 xx
she sing with the gabrielli consort, i’ve met her she’s very lovely
I can’t stop watching this. So lovely.
A gorgeous farewell... All best wishes to you, Emily!
I'm already hopelessly in love with Emily, you can't make me love her any more... even with such a great effort as this.
Me too. And with Andrea
Listening to thisvmskesvmectemember my first love eith emotion ehst recordings has thst lobvely soprano made since she left voces8
'Beautiful ' comes to mind but even that word seems mortally inadequate for this divine angelic sound
They are the best ambassadors of Great Britain.
Gratulations from Germany!
That was an out of body experience, amazing.
Absolutely fabulous. The blend is so precise with the perfect amount of slide.
A beautiful version of one of my favorite Kate Rusby songs.
OMG...I can't stop listening to this...just beautiful...WOW!
Beautiful voices. Thank you for sharing your gift with the rest of the world.
Very, very beautiful.
Broke my heart with it's beauty.
Beautiful!! Emily will be missed but wish her all the best!!
Это ж просто музыкальный оргазм! Чистый восторг!..)
profound, pure… resonant… needed
Beautiful description of "perfect love"
Love it! Please do more Kate Rusby songs!
La perfection s'obtient après un long travaille: Bravo...
I'm gonna cry.
I have tears in my eyes....such tenderness!
I already did
Leaving so gently with the lightest, most wistful of footsteps, leaving welcome and eternal imprints upon the soul. Thank you for your gentle, sensitive leaving, and belated good wishes for your safe arrival. Go well.
This song gives me chills
That was beautiful! Thank you.
Timeless beauty, congratulation !
Wow I just fell in love with this group! Please come to either North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, or Florida so I can see you live! Please!!!
They will be in Greenville SC at the Peace Center in November 2018.
Suddenly falling in love with this song 😊🙏🏻 You guys are awesome!!!
I'm moved to tears!
Crisp balance with warmth . So heartfelt.
Another night going to sleep with tears rolling down my face.
Glorious!
Worth listening at least a dozen times.
Heavenly... brings chills!
