I lost brother on November 10th 2017 And know he has now gone home. I now stand as the only survivor in our family generation. At 75 I to will be going home. Thank you Jesus!
My beloved sister is 97 and on her way "home" I am playing this for her. Please God🙏 send an angel choir to her spiritual ears, because we are very far away from each other and I wont see her on this side of the Veil again.
God bless you dear George….She had a great husband in you Thank you for loving her to the very end ! What a cruel disease dementia is My dear mummy died from dementia 12 yrs ago I miss her and my dearest daddy so much ! He died from prostrate cancer my brother died from alcoholism He was my only sibling but I believe in my Lord and Saviour I’ll be with them once more never to be parted again forever in their loving arms Thank you Jesus for making this possible I love you with all of my heart for dying on a cruel cross for all who believe in you ! You took all our sins and our transgressions upon yourself and you died a horrible death for all who believe in you Thank you so much for your sacrifice I’ve lost my entire family I grew up with but you my Heavenly Father found me the perfect husband and our young man who has special needs You loved me dear Jesus all my life and I couldn’t have more gratitude for loving me Thank you xxx
The most beautiful female vocalist I've ever heard. Not just her voice but the emotion she puts into her presentation can bring you to tears. I can't get enough of her. It's so soothing before resting for the night.
Two years ago (April 2016) my husband killed himself. The person I was before his violent death is gone forever. I listen to this song for hours at a time because it reminds me that our time on this planet is quite brief, and in a few years, there will come a time when I too "go home" and the experiences (and pain) of this earth will be over. The lyrics, together with the beautiful melody, is a glimpse of heavenly peace and beauty.
God Bless you, RoseMary. Prayers for you, as God and your Faith will carry you through as you continue to live your life that God intended.Much Love.....
You noticed. A very astute observation which shows sensitivity and appreciation for what is excellent in this world. She is surely touched by God. He apparently thought she would be a sweet representation of His love and His gifts. You must be rare as well for I have not met anyone yet of the male species to speak so highly of the female gender. I have to say my great grandson speaks your name often. He must watch Monsters, Inc. everyday and he loves Sully (James Sullivan). He even has the talking Sully, a stuffed animal who roars. I loved your comment. Would love to have been on the receiving end of such a compliment.
Apparently I live in a cave, because today is the first time I ever heard this woman sing - and wow. What a pure, angelic, beautiful voice. (It does not seem fair that she is also lovely of countenance.)
My Mother was a widow with six kids. She died at age 53 just when we were old enough to pay her back for all her sacrifices for us. I look forward to being with her again someday.
Rob you have my sympathy and prayers my Mother was 47 when she passed there were 5 of us left two under eleven my Father stepped into the breach I was 19 she is with me always
@@carolroberts4614 I am now 73 and have felt her presence and guidence with me I am not particularly religious my elder brother( I am the one in the middle) died a few years ago and I sometimes feel him near me too mainly laughing at me but that is nothing new it is probably imagination but sometimes the feeling is very strong and usually when i am under stress but it helps me cope and think that maybe there is something beyond death
Yes I feel the same with my mum , I am67, and I lost my younger sister 5 years ago when she was 59, and sometimes she feels very close, especially when things are bad and I think she is fluttering around anxiously!
This was the final song sung by a cousin for both of my parent's funerals. I held it together until I heard the words and knew the two most important people in my life were gone. It's so beautiful and will stay with me for ever..
Very timely my brother in law had passed on the 13th Nov '22. Today at 10 am he'll start going home to his eternal home. The sound truly help his beloved in there farewell "GOODBYE".
I played this song for my wife a few times and then she was taken suddenly some weeks later. She was ready to meet her Lord and I'm glad that she got to listen to this song before she left this world. See you soon, luv.
willie, im so sorry for your loss, may god have mercy on her soul, to guide and protect her on her journey to heaven, to be with our lord and saviour. if you need, me, call ad i will come, though you cant see or touch me ill be near, and if you listen with your heart, you will hear all of my love, around, so soft and dear. and then when you must come this way alone, ill greet you with a smile, and say "welcome home". the very best to you in life always, Louie Vaccaro, las vegas.
Sissel Kyrkjebø is an angel sent from heaven, she was put on this earth to sing that song, to comfort all those who listen to it ,especially those who have terminal illnesses, her beauty and her voice can only be that of an angel ,for only an angel could sing that so the way she does . when my time comes the last hing I want to hear is this song and only sung by Sissel
I've had two Near Death Experiences, and a Shared Death Experience. This piece, more than any other work I know best describes that marvelous day we go home.
Aww Karol my heart breaks for you He was loved so much by you A perfect wife I’m praying 🙏 for you….that God will be be near you over the next few days and time is a great healer I lost my brother to alcoholism not long ago It’s a process we need to go through but far from easy
This woman is an incredible gift to humanity. Consider that English may not even be her primary language. My Dad is a huge fan (he is 82 years) and has shared her with me. How can one not contemplate the wonders of life and the universe and our meaning here while listening to Sissel open her heart and pour out eternal love? She has offered us what we can each do ourselves: be the vessel of the love of God.
she speaks absolutely PERFECT English with NO British dialect. I love Charlotte Church too but she DOES have a strong British dialect (she's British though). she has a beautiful voice...
Natural and seemingly effortless, and possibly even 'beautiful' singing, maybe, but not nearly as much in tune with the music as Annie Haslem's version at th-cam.com/video/2MVRdrIbDgQ/w-d-xo.html. I know which I'd like listening to better. And check out www.americanmusicpreservation.com/GoinHome.htm to see what the original was really about: "The Largo, with its haunting English horn solo, is the outpouring of Dvorak's own home-longing". Nothing to do with death.
When I was 14 years old, during a week of work experience, I was tasked with screening phone calls in between some other tasks at a managing company. The phone rang, and I picked it up, presented myself and the company I was at. The most angelic voice I’ve ever heard spake, through the tinny speakers of a 90’s land line, words I will never forget; “Hi, it’s Sissel Kyrkjebø here, is [name withheld] available?”. I immediately fell in love and have been reeling ever since. It’s a crime that she’s not more well known, her voice is the utmost perfection possible for humankind to create.
Such a sad yet beautiful song done by a pitch-perfect singer. My wife had Stage 4 triple negative breast cancer. I thought this would be the end for her as she had extensive metastasis to her spine and hips. Yet, a miracle, infusions of eribulin (Halaven) eradicated all cancer. Praise the Lord!
This lady has to be one of God's angels with a voice like that 🙏🙏🙏🙏 she is absolutely... totally.... In a league of her own👌👌👌 Thank you my dear for the most beautiful version I've heard of this 🌹🌹🌹
My mum passed away two and half years ago and my mams sister, Sheila couldn't of picked song to send my mum off. Sadly missed by our heart broken 💔 Dad and ourselves. We miss you mam 😢 ❤️
OMG, how beautifully Sissel sings this. I'm 77 now, and just want to go home, to the childhood and family and friends that were part of my life all those years ago. Thanks so much for posting.
+Vicki Wong my husband died 25 years ago .. so young...hang in there God looks after the widow and the orphan .. and he has for me in many wonderful ways
+Vicki Wong And the waiting is the hardest part. Time there is much different than time here. For him, only moments but for us much longer. God grant you peace and the knowing that love is never wasted nor is it ever lost.
My grandads funeral song. 4/11/22 🇳🇴🌹Per Magnar Vikan🌹🇳🇴 R.I.P Grandad you are and always will be truly missed. You are now at rest with Nanna. Loved forever , always in our hearts 🤍🤍🤍
@@stephaniejones4749 Hello i am so truly sorry for the loss of your beautiful Mum 💔🙏💔 Have faith our Angels will always guide us through our lives God bless you Susie ❤️😇❤️😇x
This has to be the most saddest hymn ever, It was played at my Dads funeral and many friends, It's hard not to shed a tear listening to it. Thinking of all family and friends I lost may they all be at peace. 🙏🙏
I seem to have a need for music that makes me cry....and this is it today.....will be 3 years in October that my wfe of 44 years lost her battle with cancer.
This is one of the favorite songs of my Grandpa, he used to sing the Chinese version of this song to us. Beautiful lyric, yet nostalgic tune. Now he has passed away for more than one year. We miss him...
My beloved Mom passed on recently but I find Peace and Solace in the knowledge that those who truly loved her will be with her again and will see her whole and healthy once again. God is Good!!!
I have now reached 72 years of age. Happily fit and healthy, but the years pass so quickly. Having sung in choirs in Norway, listened to Sisselso often over the years, with great pleasure. He rendition of this song brings peace and the feeling that when my time has finished, I will be at peace. Sissel had been my angel of music for many years , bless her.
Sheis so wonderful and makes me feel better about losing my husband of many years to lung cancer, so sad and I feel better just hearing her sing, such a beautiful lady too, and what a voice! Thank you Sissel!
Awww, so sorry about your loss Suzanne. I truly understand how it feels losing a loved one, my wife passed while having our daughter, wasn't easy for me though but I'm grateful to God for today 🙏. My deep and sincere condolences, how have you been? 🌺 😢
We played this for you dad on the day we celebrated your life. We wanted to keep you with us but God wanted you more. We miss you every day Dad and mums is sad you have gone home. Mum knows your with your mam and dad now and not in any pain. Love you dearly dad, we miss you every single day xxx
My dear wife of 54 years died four years ago from pancreatic cancer ; after 18 months treatment, she decided to end her treatment as it had ceased to have a positive effect. So we sat together and arranged her funeral and this beautiful rendition we chose for the photo montage
54 years. I knew a couple like that. she broke her hip and fell (its rarely the other way). she never fully recovered. after she passed her husband (outwardly gruff) was a lost soul. although he was healthy quite suddenly he was not. she was in fact his "rock". he passed less than 3 months later. the family doctor stated that he passed due to a broken heart. he simply chose not to go on without her. Are you still with us, sir? Or perhaps a better question might be... do you want to be?
I first heard this in the movie Snakepit. I was 16 watching the early show in black and white. It was the uplifting end of one woman’s struggle with illness. Since it has been a lifelong favorite and at 69…I must be honest that I look forward to the day I too will go home. I will miss my daughter and her kids but I know where I am going is a beautiful end to care and loneliness. My grandfather is the one I hope to see first…the kindest man I ever knew. In the meantime, I try to make my daughters life easier when I can.
Some Artist you dance along too.Some Artist you sing along too.This Artist is an angel sent by god for us too watch,listen and enjoy with pure wonderment and Amazement at her truly god given talent.Thank-you Sissel God bless you our Angel....
So true. "In Dreams" was one of my favorites of Roy Orbison. Thought is was impossible to cover properly. But Sissel proved me wrong - amazing performer.
I don't see how anyone could honestly dislike this song, sung by one of the most beautiful voices in the history of music, and with the plus of being by one of the most beautiful singers as well. Only a jealous person or one whose brain is entirely fried could honestly hit "dislike" after watching this. Sissel, we love you so much. Thank you for hours and hours of pure joy you've given us all.
Oh you pejorative simplistic souls. What someone has done is taken a movement out of the context in which it was written and used it for other purposes. Purists might not like that; some might think it detracts from what the original creator intended; I'm in that camp, the theme is better for no words - as a result I would neither like nor dislike this interpretation but I certainly respect both those who do either.
There is irony sublime here, Neil, in your use of pejorative and simplistic. Perhaps you recognize it now. This composition was derived from Dvorak's time in America where he attempted to replicate the mood in gospel singing among the black population. He did a great job. That others have added a libretto is simply a modification, and some would say a welcome variation. Those who disdain such creativity obviously don't appreciate the appeal it has for others. It happens that the words are typical of the expressions one would have heard back in the day, sung by an old slave.
Don't be silly. There's no disdain. And it's not simply adding a libretto. You may welcome it, it's your preference. I do not. The effect is less than the original; there are many such attempts and this is indeed one of the better ones. But it is not creative, it is derivative, a fact that I know all too well, since my talents lie in the derivative camp. Valuable nontheless, but not truly creative.
Neil McCulloch OK your views are yours. To me this is so beautiful in sound and vision, immediate beauty. It doesn't matter about your ins and outs, take it as it is.....
I would have loved this for my mothers funeral but l knew l would cry my eyes out and so would my son and daughter. Why do we all think we need to keep control in front of others? This song and this beautiful singer with the voice of an angel is perfect but oh so moving .
Probably my favorite song in all the world. And I "went home" on September 5, 2018 but was sent back by the angels. It's as beautiful as you could possibly imagine - times a million.
Rose looks for the AVE MARIA by DIMASH QUDAIBERGEN composed by Igort Kutroy premiered at the "New Wave 202" in Sochi ... It will make you fly to the skies, it is the most beautiful vocalization I have ever heard in my life... Health from SPAIN
You had an near death experience it appears. I am gladdened by your report back, reassuring. Thanks. Did you publish any article etc. about it to read more if possible. Tx
This is good to o hear. I feel that I may be 4:18 going home soon. I'm 3.5months away from my first stroke and fear another despite anticoagulants and blood thinners.
You will go when GOD wants you in the meantime enjoy your life live it to the fullest. Thank the Lord for each day you live. Make others happy and know that you are loved.@@catherinecarlson6164
To believe in God is easy as you can feel the Sun & see our earth. HOWEVER SISSEL, is one of the Angels that God has given us in order for us to remember 🙏 that GOD exists...!!! ❤...
Our lord God brought me to this site/performance (by accident?)! I have never had the pleasure of hearing an angel sing, but as sure as I am standing - I just did. Embarrassed to admit I’d not heard of her, or her gift... I was deprived, and now insatiable.
What a voice - unfortunately only just come across this piece but it will be played often. Also, she must be the sexiest singer ever - the facial expressions during this piece are mesmerising .
This song is so touching my heart. I cry. I have left my home town for almost 18 years. The word in this song is my mood now. I love it. I feel like the most high is around me. He is calling me home. I am wandering so long.
What a Blessing this is, I lost mom 3 months ago due to dementia. Although she was 95 I know a lot of you had stated your lost your mums at such a young age. God Bless to all of you
I lost brother on November 10th 2017 And know he has now gone home. I now stand as the only survivor in our family generation. At 75 I to will be going home. Thank you Jesus!
💚
God bless you sir ♥
JESUS has absolutely nothing to do with this
My beloved sister is 97 and on her way "home" I am playing this for her. Please God🙏 send an angel choir to her spiritual ears, because we are very far away from each other and I wont see her on this side of the Veil again.
God bless my dear wife who died last month after 8 yrs of dementia. She was always asking “ can we go home “. Her wish has now been granted. Xx
Sympathies may the God of all comfort comfort comfort you
May the Lords comfort that’s beyond our knowing be with you ❤
God bless you dear George….She had a great husband in you Thank you for loving her to the very end !
What a cruel disease dementia is My dear mummy died from dementia 12 yrs ago I miss her and my dearest daddy so much !

You took all our sins and our transgressions upon yourself and you died a horrible death for all who believe in you Thank you so much for your sacrifice I’ve lost my entire family I grew up with but you my Heavenly Father found me the perfect husband and our young man who has special needs You loved me dear Jesus all my life and I couldn’t have more gratitude for loving me Thank you xxx

He is looking after you. Take time out every day to feel his presence. He will embrace you.
Sissel singing this is proof that God loves us.
Sure is
Agreed
Yes!
The most beautiful female vocalist I've ever heard. Not just her voice but the emotion she puts into her presentation can bring you to tears. I can't get enough of her. It's so soothing before resting for the night.
I agree...from Canada🥰

To my beloved daughter that passed away this week..my love for you will never die
🙏💖💪
May God be with you. 🤗🤗Loss is hard but there will be light always after the dark.
I will think of you every day DM . I don't know what else I can do.
Please accept the condolences of a stranger who can only imagine your pain.✝️
I don't have words. But you are in my toughts. I wish you well.

Hello how are you doing?
So very sorry for the pain you are feeling...Take good care of yourself
God Bless you, RoseMary.
Prayers for you, as God and your Faith will carry you through as you continue to live your life that God intended.Much Love.....
How sad and upsetting. Heart breaking, I hope you find peace.
So very sorry.
I didn’t think it possible for a voice to be so pure, surely Sissel is one of God’s special Angels.
Great Anton Dvorak - from a New World Simphony
I played this song for my mother as she passed away on Christmas. She always loved this song. She passed during it.
I am so very, very sorry for your loss. May God watch and protect you. May he remove some of the pain. Bless you.
May she RIP
Death Is The Only Truth & Love Is A Lie.
Her voice is as clear as a drop of pure spring water. Her beauty is as radiant as a flower in the morning sun.
Very poetic - but true ! 👍😉

I'm so sorry. May you be comforted with precious memories of your beloved till you see him again. . May he rest in peace.
For my beloved brother who passed away 6 month ago missed you going home to heaven with my beloved parents
Truly an angelic voice. When I was a child in the forties this was a song my brother played that calmed and lulled me to sleep.
Apparently I live in a cave, because today is the first time I ever heard this woman sing - and wow. What a pure, angelic, beautiful voice. (It does not seem fair that she is also lovely of countenance.)
You are not alone I have just discovered her too
I have just discovered her tonight, aren't we lucky I'm 78 and can't believe I've not heard this beautiful voice before now x
thank your lucky stars
@@myrajones1428 I am 82 and never heard her before. She beats any female singer, past and present, in my opinion.
And an added joy is that her singing career from the age of 13, is all on TH-cam. You can spend a splendid day under lockdown discovering it.

Beautiful! Exactly what I think.
Norwegian is her birth language. She can sing in English, Spanish, Italian I think, German , Japanese (sukiyaki) and American C&W..
she is the best adult singer in the world and has sung in 15 languages.
@@mikedickison5003 Also Ruski, remember Prince Igor ft. Warren G

Truly the greatest voice I have ever heard in my 85 years. So natural and so seemingly effortless for her. This is a God given gift!!!
That I would have to fully agree with. The voice of an angel.
A truly beautiful and talented woman with the voice of an angel
She is the true angel coming to the earth. Through her crystal clear voice, we know what heaven is ...... !!
Wait when you see and hear Sissel live in Norway.
Natural and seemingly effortless, and possibly even 'beautiful' singing, maybe, but not nearly as much in tune with the music as Annie Haslem's version at th-cam.com/video/2MVRdrIbDgQ/w-d-xo.html. I know which I'd like listening to better.

Part of her beauty is that she turned down fame to live in her home town in Norway. Knows what is precious in life, a rare quality.

One of the best ever songs and performances. Played at my Mums funeral, and I play it to feel her presence. So beautiful
Same here Dave. Had this played at Mum’s funeral in February, and I find listening to this song helps.
This is so beautiful ❤️🌷❤️
My beautiful daughter

Momma would sing this to me. Now, she's gone home. God is real!
Sissel você nem imagina o quanto AMO ESTA MÚSICA ‼‼‼ OBRIGADA. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉❤❤🇧🇷
This has to be the most saddest hymn ever, It was played at my Dads funeral and many friends, It's hard not to shed a tear listening to it. Thinking of all family and friends I lost may they all be at peace. 🙏🙏
My brother passed away 6 years ago 😔😔😔😔😔😔it brings it back😔😪
Magical rendition 😊♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sissel has gone home and come back as an Angel What clarity and beauty
Sissel has been a great star for me more than 40 years. She is the best female singer I have ever heard.
Watching this now, really bad storm brewing here in Ireland but this gives me the cosy feeling
I seem to have a need for music that makes me cry....and this is it today.....will be 3 years in October that my wfe of 44 years lost her battle with cancer.
Sorry for your loss. Sometimes we have to cry, it's tragedy's way of escaping our body and soul.
This is one of the favorite songs of my Grandpa, he used to sing the Chinese version of this song to us. Beautiful lyric, yet nostalgic tune. Now he has passed away for more than one year. We miss him...
My beloved Mom passed on recently but I find Peace and Solace in the knowledge that those who truly loved her will be with her again and will see her whole and healthy once again. God is Good!!!
Anton Dvorak composer in New World simphony
I have now reached 72 years of age. Happily fit and healthy, but the years pass so quickly. Having sung in choirs in Norway, listened to Sisselso often over the years, with great pleasure. He rendition of this song brings peace and the feeling that when my time has finished, I will be at peace. Sissel had been my angel of music for many years , bless her.
RIP Dad. April 5 2018. I lost a part of me that I will not have back on this earth. I still cry for you Dad. Mike Mauger was what men try to be.
sorry for your loss... I still have my dad and can't imagine what it's like. Take care of yourself and your family
She is the true angel coming to the earth. Through her crystal clear voice, we know what heaven is ...... !!
Sissel, the legend of our history ~
Sheis so wonderful and makes me feel better about losing my husband of many years to lung cancer, so sad and I feel better just hearing her sing, such a beautiful lady too, and what a voice! Thank you Sissel!
Awww, so sorry about your loss Suzanne. I truly understand how it feels losing a loved one, my wife passed while having our daughter, wasn't easy for me though but I'm grateful to God for today 🙏. My deep and sincere condolences, how have you been? 🌺 😢
Whenever I see her face, I am reminded of a typically heartwarming#motherly face.!!!.....Watching this video again & again.!!!
We played this for you dad on the day we celebrated your life.
We wanted to keep you with us but God wanted you more. We miss you every day Dad and mums is sad you have gone home. Mum knows your with your mam and dad now and not in any pain. Love you dearly dad, we miss you every single day xxx
My dear wife of 54 years died four years ago from pancreatic cancer ; after 18 months treatment, she decided to end her treatment as it had ceased to have a positive effect. So we sat together and arranged her funeral and this beautiful rendition we chose for the photo montage
54 years. I knew a couple like that. she broke her hip and fell (its rarely the other way). she never fully recovered. after she passed her husband (outwardly gruff) was a lost soul. although he was healthy quite suddenly he was not. she was in fact his "rock". he passed less than 3 months later. the family doctor stated that he passed due to a broken heart. he simply chose not to go on without her. Are you still with us, sir? Or perhaps a better question might be... do you want to be?
How sad. God bless her and also you.
god bless my friend

Great voice nice lady
I first heard this in the movie Snakepit. I was 16 watching the early show in black and white. It was the uplifting end of one woman’s struggle with illness. Since it has been a lifelong favorite and at 69…I must be honest that I look forward to the day I too will go home. I will miss my daughter and her kids but I know where I am going is a beautiful end to care and loneliness. My grandfather is the one I hope to see first…the kindest man I ever knew. In the meantime, I try to make my daughters life easier when I can.
great movie, i remember this song from the same movie, haven't heard it in years.
In Snakepit, sung by Jan Clayton (appeared on Broadway in the original Carousel and was Jeff's mother on the original Lassie)

I love this song. It was one of my Daddy’s favorites and was requested to be sung at his funeral.
❤❤❤
❤❤❤
For my beloved and late sister who departed on the celestial express who is 😢 surly missed
I keep coming back to this song and Sissel. She just gives me peace and the feeling that all will be ok.
It's the music of Dvorak and the largo section of his New World Symphony, truly lovely.
Keith Roy Franklin I just cry
All the pretty girls
Keith Roy Franklin a
Keith Roy Franklin it will be. Look to Christ. Our eternal friend.
Some Artist you dance along too.Some Artist you sing along too.This Artist is an angel sent by god for us too watch,listen and enjoy with pure wonderment and Amazement at her truly god given talent.Thank-you Sissel God bless you our Angel....
I played this last Sept at my beloved husbands funeral........ I often listen to it now , it brings me great comfort
Hello how are you doing?
Has anyone ever seen a more gorgeous vocalist with a beautiful voice to match? I have not.
Beautiful beyond words. Sissel's voice brings love and calm so gently. Love from Ireland.
Beautiful song by a world-class singer. Could listen to her all day.
Just went through 11 repeats of "In Dreams' from sisselfan on you tube. Outstanding.
So true. "In Dreams" was one of my favorites of Roy Orbison. Thought is was impossible to cover properly. But Sissel proved me wrong - amazing performer.
Such a beautiful song, such a beautiful rendition.
In memory of my Beloved Margaret who passed away February 27th 2020 aged 76 years young .May you rest in peace my lovely girl.
God Bless you. You both had a perfect, love.
May God bless you
God bless you my friend
My prayers of comfort for you!
Prayers of comfort for you!
I don't see how anyone could honestly dislike this song, sung by one of the most beautiful voices in the history of music, and with the plus of being by one of the most beautiful singers as well. Only a jealous person or one whose brain is entirely fried could honestly hit "dislike" after watching this. Sissel, we love you so much. Thank you for hours and hours of pure joy you've given us all.
At last count 238 fried brains!!
Oh you pejorative simplistic souls. What someone has done is taken a movement out of the context in which it was written and used it for other purposes. Purists might not like that; some might think it detracts from what the original creator intended; I'm in that camp, the theme is better for no words - as a result I would neither like nor dislike this interpretation but I certainly respect both those who do either.
There is irony sublime here, Neil, in your use of pejorative and simplistic. Perhaps you recognize it now. This composition was derived from Dvorak's time in America where he attempted to replicate the mood in gospel singing among the black population. He did a great job. That others have added a libretto is simply a modification, and some would say a welcome variation. Those who disdain such creativity obviously don't appreciate the appeal it has for others. It happens that the words are typical of the expressions one would have heard back in the day, sung by an old slave.
Don't be silly. There's no disdain. And it's not simply adding a libretto. You may welcome it, it's your preference. I do not. The effect is less than the original; there are many such attempts and this is indeed one of the better ones. But it is not creative, it is derivative, a fact that I know all too well, since my talents lie in the derivative camp. Valuable nontheless, but not truly creative.
Neil McCulloch OK your views are yours.
To me this is so beautiful in sound and vision, immediate beauty.
It doesn't matter about your ins and outs, take it as it is.....
Just beautiful! A gift that she was meant to share with the world.....and we will be better for it.
All we have to do is stop and listen!
This song was played at my best friends funeral miss her so much.
This was sung at my Mums funeral 19 years ago. Seems like yesterday and miss her more than ever.. 💖💖
I would have loved this for my mothers funeral but l knew l would cry my eyes out and so would my son and daughter. Why do we all think we need to keep control in front of others? This song and this beautiful singer with the voice of an angel is perfect but oh so moving .
Probably my favorite song in all the world. And I "went home" on September 5, 2018 but was sent back by the angels. It's as beautiful as you could possibly imagine - times a million.
Rose looks for the AVE MARIA by DIMASH QUDAIBERGEN composed by Igort Kutroy premiered at the "New Wave 202" in Sochi ... It will make you fly to the skies, it is the most beautiful vocalization I have ever heard in my life... Health from SPAIN
You had an near death experience it appears. I am gladdened by your report back, reassuring. Thanks. Did you publish any article etc. about it to read more if possible. Tx
That's very reassuring rosemary, I bet its a beautiful place there, bet you didn't want to come back bless you
This is good to o hear. I feel that I may be 4:18 going home soon. I'm 3.5months away from my first stroke and fear another despite anticoagulants and blood thinners.
You will go when GOD wants you in the meantime enjoy your life live it to the fullest. Thank the Lord for each day you live. Make others happy and know that you are loved.@@catherinecarlson6164
Beautiful...the word was invented to describe this classy woman and her mesmerizing, gift from God, voice. Her performance here is awe inspiring.
As well as having the most beautiful voice that I have ever heard, she is a stunningly beautiful woman...talk about having it all.
No more modesty : naked shoulders
i had this song played on the bagpipes at my mothers funeral god bless and she has a fantastic voice love you mom
I had this song played at my father's funeral and this is want I have requested for my own when my time arrives.
AMO SUA VOZ! Obrigada por nos presentear! Parabéns!❤🎉😊
To believe in God is easy as you can feel the Sun & see our earth. HOWEVER SISSEL, is one of the Angels that God has given us in order for us to remember 🙏 that GOD exists...!!! ❤...
Lovely voice! It sounds to me like it floats through the air! Truly magical! Back up chorus is heavenly. ❤❤❤❤❤
If this is the last song and singer I hear on Earth ... I shall die very happy. Hope to hear it in the next as well. Perfection!
Rody Kelly me too howlovely
add me to the list
It's just meant for that
I would prefer "Heavens no, Hell Yeah" but this is good, too.
Well said, the voice of angles.
Can't write the words to describe the feelings this Lady inspires in my Soul but I do have a serious lump in my throat.
Angelic would do
I do suspect she carries a spark from above.
Our lord God brought me to this site/performance (by accident?)! I have never had the pleasure of hearing an angel sing, but as sure as I am standing - I just did. Embarrassed to admit I’d not heard of her, or her gift... I was deprived, and now insatiable.
Kelly, enjoy Sissel while you can
I don't usually like watching people sing. That is the most beautiful song I have ever heard and her expressions drive the words home. Wow.
Jerry Franklin you are so right
You could hear it as a bagpipe tune 🎶
What a voice - unfortunately only just come across this piece but it will be played often. Also, she must be the sexiest singer ever - the facial expressions during this piece are mesmerising .
Who among us is not moved by this remarkable voice. Surely she teaches angels to sing.
I'm convinced that if music plays as we go to heaven, it is Sissel singing this song
They do make beautiful people....serenity, talent, love-n-emotion combined.
Sissel is a blessing to those of us of faith! Her music brings us closer to our Lord God!
This song is so touching my heart. I cry. I have left my home town for almost 18 years. The word in this song is my mood now. I love it. I feel like the most high is around me. He is calling me home. I am wandering so long.
This also makes me weep ... but in perhaps a rather different way!!!!!!!!!
She is so beautiful and sings like an angel!!
19 people have no heart...Absolute splendor...the Lord smiled on us even brighter when He created Sissel
So beautiful! Thank you. I have heard this played by bagpipers at gravesides but this is amazing.
What a Blessing this is, I lost mom 3 months ago due to dementia. Although she was 95 I know a lot of you had stated your lost your mums at such a young age. God Bless to all of you
