@@stuartgish If you think this is mental, I suggest you check out Haydn's Missa Brevis Sancti Joannis de Deo. Apparently because the king hated long spells in church, Haydn wrote the music to have each choral line sing a different part of the text on top of each other so as to have the whole damn thing over in 25% of the usual time and they could all clear off home to attend to their regularly scheduled gluttony and lust. And if you really insist on whinging, please note that this hymn was written as a theme tune for a fairly raucous comedy show about a sex-starved vicar surrounded by inbred sheep-and-cousin-shagging lunatics. It was only because it became so popular afterwards that it was expanded into a full hymn including the middle bit, because people actually wanted to perform it as-is in churches. It was never originally intended as a proper hymn. "Liturgically wrong" lol snort. Context is key.
@@EC2019 I think there's a hint of a point hiding in those many lines, but I still think I'm right to point out the sheer unmusicality of the bassline and the haphazard setting that the basses have to sing. This arrangement does not point the comedy in a very funny show, so I don't think context is an issue. Must admit I'm not familiar with the Haydn.
@@EC2019 Yes, I know... but we will still claim it, LOL! I was simply saying that we sing it very often in our church... because our Catholic parish absolutely loves it. Shall I say that it's "proper" for our parish?? 😁
Absolutely love this piece! Our church choir - St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Kitchener, ON, Canada has performed it a few times and the first verse is a Soprano solo. Very touching. And yes, we all remember it as the theme song of "The Vicar of Dibley" :)
On November 25 - 2018, the feast of Christ The King, the St. Julia Choir in St. Catharines Ontario Canada will be singing this ‘The Lord is my Sheperd’ during the 11 o’clock Mass. Feel free to attend.
The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want He makes me lie in pastures green He leads me by the still, still waters His goodness restores my soul And I will trust in You alone And I will trust in You alone For Your endless mercy follows me Your goodness will lead me home He guides my ways in righteousness And He anoints my head with oil And my cup, it overflows with joy I feast on His pure delights And I will trust in You alone And I will trust in You alone For Your endless mercy follows me Your goodness will lead me home And though I walk the darkest path I will not fear the evil one For You are with me, and Your rod and staff Are the comfort I need to know And I will trust in You alone And I will trust in You alone For Your endless mercy follows me Your goodness will lead me home (and I will trust) And I will trust in You alone And I will trust in You alone For Your endless mercy follows me Your goodness will lead me home (for Your endless mercy) For Your endless mercy follows me Your goodness will lead me home
Wonderful. Not one unnecessary stroke or embellishment. A beautiful piece beautifully performed.
wish there was a "love" button... spectacular - heavenly...
What a gift for the people sitting right in front of the choir!
I'm in the cathedral choir and this is one of my favourite pieces.
This brings back memories of my Mother who passed away. Thank you.
We used to sing this regularly at the wee kirk Doon the road. Amen
WOW! That’s just beautiful!!!!! Nothing like a real chorus. Can’t help but to think of The Vicar of Dibley..

O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. -Psalm 95:1
Let us come before His Presence, with Thanksgiving!😊
Achingly beautiful....it makes me weep.
Great work, very nicely done. You've done proud to Howard Goodall's brilliant setting of this song.
Brilliant setting ? The bass line is mental. It's like pick n' mix , half the words are missing. It's liturgically wrong..

This is what I want sung at my funeral.
Magnifique!
Stunning
I love this setting so much. It’s proper Anglican and so uplifting.
It's proper Catholic, too! Our Choir sings this quite often! We sang it for my mother's Memorial Mass. It's a favorite. :)
@@meganmcgowan5798 Tbh no, it's not very Catholic. It's very puritan and Protestant in tone, musically.

Fab - well done - just beatufiful
Howard, sensitive and beautiful. Thankyou!

So beautifull! What a wonderful performance.

Love you guys!
The Lord's my Shepherd, I'll not want
He makes me lie in pastures green
He leads me by the still, still waters
His goodness restores my soul
And I will trust in You alone
And I will trust in You alone
For Your endless mercy follows me
Your goodness will lead me home
He guides my ways in righteousness
And He anoints my head with oil
And my cup, it overflows with joy
I feast on His pure delights
And I will trust in You alone
And I will trust in You alone
For Your endless mercy follows me
Your goodness will lead me home
And though I walk the darkest path
I will not fear the evil one
For You are with me, and Your rod and staff
Are the comfort I need to know
And I will trust in You alone
And I will trust in You alone
For Your endless mercy follows me
Your goodness will lead me home (and I will trust)
And I will trust in You alone
And I will trust in You alone
For Your endless mercy follows me
Your goodness will lead me home (for Your endless mercy)
For Your endless mercy follows me
Your goodness will lead me home
Very nice 👌
We have to sing it for a canto choir concert! 😆
Wunderschön A Prang
aka The Vicar of Dibley version...
great
There's no way I could sing this in a choir. I'd just end up thinking about the Vicar of Dibley the whole time.
Good choir
The Lord is good.
I love you Jesus Christ ❤️
✝️Amen 🙏🏻
The Lord is Faithful and True.......forever!😊
I’m in the cathedral choir in st cecelia juniors
I’m on my dad’s account
Lord is not a nice name for the best and most beautiful in the dept of our heart.
Where is Somerville College England? Yes? No?
Yes.
@@KingOfHearts901 Thank you sir, the music is excellent
😢
Singing this is choir
Try walking pace
It's pretty but a soloist would have made all the difference, rather than the group of sopranos.
Not bad - but Aled Jones and his youngest mugwump Lucas! Do it a little bit better. But not too bad at all!
