O Danny Boy, a traditional Irish folk song, arranged by Fred Prentice. Directed by Roger Guerrero and performed by the Idyllwild Festival Choir Summer 2008 with first tenor solo by Daniel McGrew.
当年我在南师附中宿迁分校上初中二年级的时候,机缘巧合,听到学校内的合唱团在练习《Danny Boy》,当时瞬间被这种细腻清新的微妙情感所触动,于是我到了学校的学生工作处,向老师申请表示想参加合唱团,后来跟着合唱团练了几次,老师最终同意我的加入,在合唱团里唱这首歌,是一种莫能名状的感觉,就好像站在山谷的田野,拂面而来清新的空气,牧羊人的笛声回荡旷野,碎叶入土,山花散尽,盼而不归的孩子却永远回不到生养他的家乡。 这首歌对我的意义非凡,看了这个视频,又勾起了当年中学时光的回忆。 Thanks for Your Video and Impressive Performance!

It's been a long time since I heard this song since I did it in choir in middle school. So professional like and beautiful, I learned something that I didn't quite understand when I sang it. It really does help to know the story behind the lyrics and bringing that story to life.
Wow. I don't think I can count on how many times I got goosebumps! Especially in the tenor solo section! My college choir is doing this arrangement and it is so beautiful.
My district honor choir did this song my senior year in high school. Our rendition was different, and I greatly enjoyed it. As enjoyable as that might have been, I have to say that I have never heard this song more beautifully done by any other choir I have heard, which includes TH-cam. I absolutely loved it.
Am smiling as I read comments about how this is an "English Song." There are about 100 different lyricists who penned words to this Irish folk tune aka Londonderry air... including Hickson's "would God I were the tender apple blossom" (blech... we referred to that one as London Derriere...sorry)... to the beautiful poetry of Thomas Moore. Weatherly WAS an English attorney who dabbled as a lyricist and wrote the words (oh Danny boy) as we know them today.Scholars still debate however,as to the true meaning of the lyrics.Look it up.This a cappella arrangement,exquisite.Only sorry the recording was not of better quality.But under the conductor and the young people here and given the conditions... VERY nice indeed.And my thanks to cobilover2003 for promoting beautiful choral music!
That's an interesting piece of information ... a Scotswoman eh! It is admittedly one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written, and with the addition of the Danny Boy words makes it a very emotional song. A similar story goes to the song O Peggy Gordon, which of course is way into its own category. And aye, I have heard about the song used as a sporting events' anthem, but more suited as a funeral dirge in the States -
850ovlov, you should get it right. The words to "Danny Boy" were put to the tune of "Londonderry Air", which is a very Irish tune. But yes, you're right about the words.
A wonderful song from my childhood. A new interpretation I had not heard before. Still touching. Still lovely
That soloist was phenomenal!
I remember singing this in chorus in high school!!!!
I also sang this in high school. It was the first time learning the song and I was bawling at the deeper meaning.

The soloist gives me chills
I remember singing this in middle school! It's still as beautiful as I remember it!
I honestly have listened to this about a thousand times it will never get old
Bravo! Bravo! I love this version and the Celtic Woman's version of Danny Boy the most.

this choir is great!
I've heard countless versions of this beautiful song - this rendition is among the best. Beautiful job by all.
In the version my treble choir is singing its “all the roses falling” but I like this version too!
Me too, during my junior school time, our chorus was singing its "all the roses are falling" and now i also like this version!

It's actually the altos singing the first part and there's a first part before them singing
Wow!
