    I'm a soprano and soon to perform this wonderful piece in my choir. I truly hope my sick mother gets to live long enough to hear it. It touches the depths of my soul in a way nothing ever has before, and I wish for her to experience that as well.

    Magnific, from Brazil 🇧🇷. See the lyrics:
    The lake lay Blue, below the hill. O'er it, as I looked, there flew across the water Cold and still, a bird, Whose wings were palest blue. The sky above was blue at last. The sky beneath me blue in blue A moment, ere the bird had passed. It caught his image as he flew The lake lay blue below the hill.

    As full time member Croatian Television Choir, i want to say this sound is how chamber choir should sound. I enjoy evry peacefull chord and fraze. What is music than way to lift you somewhere far away, to make you meditate, at least for that few minutes, or one concert. I wish I could sing with you some day. Thank you for wonderful music. Following you for new works...

    I went to the Lakes School in Windermere - beside the lake below the hill. We sang this at the summer concert under our wonderful chorus master Reg Griffiths in 1969 (and other times too). 53 years on it still sends shivers down my back.
