You make me weep, Ernestina! Your voice so pure! And the choir of angels! So so sweeet!!! Orchestra perfect!!!!!!!!! Absolutely, lovely... I'm listening to it again now... THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The beauty of the entire orchestra and choir is mind-blowing. From voices to faces to smiles, it is good to see something about humanity that is beautiful for a change. Congratulations to all.
Such a beautiful performance, I have played it over 10 times and can shed no more tears. Shout out to the oboe and harp soloists who likely took a bow after the clip was cut. Their melody places this song squarely in that period of american history.
This just HAS to be the most beautiful performance of this old traditional American ballad that I have ever heard... and it is Sooo beautiful to watch as well, everyone from the lovely Ernestina to the young ladies in the chorus to the wonderful musicians in the orchestra. I learned this lovely old song when I was a kid in the 1950s, when a chorus of which I was a member performed it at recitals at our church on several occasions. My mother, the choir director, (also the pianist, and organist) insisted that we all know the story of the lyrics, of the fur trader traveling on the Missouri River and the Native American chief's daughter with whom he was in love , and her father, Shenandoah. And my mother insisted that we memorize the lyrics, as with every piece we performed. No pages rattling or dropping to the floor... and eye contact with our audience... our parents and the congregation. And I still remember every word of the lyrics to this day. It is also where I first learned Mr. Dvořák's "Když mne stará matka" ("Songs My Mother Taught Me", in the English language version which we sang), which Ernestina and members of this orchestra and chorus have also performed and recorded beautifully in a rare music video titled "Last Journey Home". So this is a very emotional and wonderful experience for me every time I play this beautiful performance by Ernestina and this superb orchestra and chorus. 💖💖😊
Wonderful performance! Monsieur Zevnik’s goal, in his words, was to create an "amazing musical journey into heart of American soul, which I experienced during my cycling trip from Boston to Seattle.” He is succeeding. The origins of Oh Shenandoah Across the Wide Missouri are obscure but stem from the early part of the nineteenth century. The music meant different things to different groups. But to my ancestors who escaped the wars and famine of Europe it represented the journey to a new life free from all those horrors. And it is just a beautiful song sung by a beautiful lady. Bravo Mr. Zevnik, can’t wait to see what comes next!
I got asmr from that! Absolutely beautiful! My choir is singing this at our concert, and the baritones have the melody! I just happen to be the only baritone who wants to sing properly! It will be like a solo!
Bravo bravo!! Varias veces la escucho y emociona el alma de ver y oír tanta belleza musical plena de juventud!! Gracias por tanta dulzura y con amor espiritual los abrazo a todos!!👏👏👏👏
Jim Erb of the University of Richmond wrote this arrangement. He was as wonderful and beautiful as his arrangement. It fills my heart to think of him.`
It’s amazing how well Slovenian Ernestina Jost can interpret this purely American song. The only person to sing this song better is American Jo Stafford, arguably the greatest female popular genre singer ever. You’re in great company Ernestina
This was mesmerizing. Zevnikov's touch where he clings to several bar, tenaciously, before he plunges into the revelation. Here, like a sneaky prelude (but awesome) with a persistent dominate note on the cello/counter-base then gently revealing the mystery of his interpretation. Bravo!
I agree with you about the violas and cellos (and contrabass ?) carrying that one long note throughout the first verse and well into the whole piece. Actually, those string musicians pretty much set the mood for this whole ballad, portraying (in my mind) the beautiful, so-slowly-moving upper Missouri River in the American Dakota territory, where the story of this ballad takes place. A beautiful orchestral arrangement by Primož, for sure. He seems to have a habit of doing that. 😊 And of course, it helps to have this superb orchestra and chorus, and the amazing Ernestina to make it happen. 💖😊
Jefferson City tornado just happened. Jefferson City is Missouri's capital city, located directly on the banks of the Missouri river. Its difficult to hear this song right now, considering the damage done to so many lives and properties.
Exquisite. The origins of the song may be the time of the Louisiana Purchase, when Bonaparte transferred the midcontinental territories to Jefferson. The Shenandoah may be name of a chief, not the river in the Appalachians. Shenandoah may have had a geomorphological meaning common to many native languages of the Algonquian family. It means sprucy stream, i.e., a stream flowing beside high hills, mountains or cliffs, thereby chilled by their shadow and resulting in a subarctic microclimate with boreal flora. Such a microclimate within a larger temperate climate is common in the Appalachian mountains, but can also be found in the Black Hills and the Missouri Breaks.
Sorry, Matthew, but your comment is pure buffalo chips. This old, traditional American ballad has absolutely Zero to do with the Louisiana Purchase, the Appalachians, "geomorphological" nonsense, "sprucy streams", "subarctic microclimates with boreal flora" (Oh, Brrrrother ! 😊🤣), or ANYthing other than the story told in the original verses going back to its earliest origins in the early 1800s. The story is of a fur trader traveling on the Missouri River who has fallen in love with the daughter of a Native American tribal chief, "Shenandoah", whose nation lives on the banks of the upper Missouri in what was then the Dakota territories. It has been "...seven long years since last I saw you", and he longs to reunite with his love, not knowing if her father will allow it or even if she is still "available". I have known this story since I first learned the song in the mid' 1950s when we performed it in a children's chorus and my mother, our choir director and pianist, insisted that all of us kids know the story of the ballad we were going to perform (The traditional 1800s lyrics... long before the "modified" Bob Dylan version ). So you can take my word for it, or you can look it up. And, by the way... "looking stuff up" is always good policy before posting on TH-cam, if you do not wish to appear as an ignorant dolt before those of us who actually Do "know stuff about stuff"... especially early-American music, and also, in this case, Ernestina and this wonderful Gimnazija Kranj Symphony Orchestra and Choruses, with whom you are also obviously completely unfamiliar. 😊🤔
@@key2seventhree349 Waaall... more than YOU, for damned sure. But in your case, that obviously would take Very little effort! And for you to insist that "Shenandoah" has "Southern" origins tells everyone reading these comments everything they need to know about your lack of intellect and astounding level of ignorance. 🙄🤣
Oh Shenandoah, I hear you calling, Hi-o, you rolling river. Oh Shenandoah, I long to hear you, Hi-o, I'm bound away. 'Cross the wide, Mis-sou-ri. Mis-sou-ri, She's a mighty river, Hi-o, you rolling river. When she rolls down, her topsails shiver, Hi-o, I'm bound away, 'Cross the wide, Mis-sou-ri .Farewell my dearest, I'm bound to leave you, Hi-o, you rolling river. Oh Shenandoah, I'll not deceive you, Hi-o, I'm bound away. 'Cross the wide Mis-sou-ri. END
Geweldig om te horen en te zien. Zo'n gevoelige stem perfect geschikt voor Panis Angelicus van Cesar Franck. Ben reuze benieuwd of dat er ooit van zal komen.
The meaning of word Shenandoah was given by the Moravian Church missionary, ethnographer and philologist Reverend John Heckewelder. It was given to him by Chief White of the Nanticoke nation. It means sprucy stream. You can find this in Volume 1 of the Bulletin of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Many of the native names of waterways expressed a feature related to their geomorphology. This includes surface color, flora on banks, navigability by canoes, fauna, bends, backwaters, caves, potholes, rocks, branches and tributaries. The Louisiana Purchase included the Missouri River and its drainage basin.
Keep up your excellent work of publicising this remarkable group of singers and musicians. They are superbly trained at that school. It is greatly appreciated by myself here in South Australia.

What a beautiful song. That wasn't the first time I'd heard it, but Ernestina Jošt gave the best performance of it I've yet heard.

And beautifully put yourself Mr Gregorio!
Beautiful. So very impressive!
A haunting song. It tells of longing and loneliness for a cherished home. And it speaks through the centuries.
Sublime. Thank you!
lovely in so many ways, and she's singing one of the best of the U.S. folk songs!
My mother used to sing this song to me when I was a child. This is a really beautiful arrangement and performance.
Ein wunderschönes Gesamtkunstwerk, das tolle Orchester und die grandiose Ernestina😍🤩👏👏👏🎼🎻
One of the most beautiful versions of this wonderful song ... !
This song always makes me cry
She sure hits those high notes beautifully and perfectly.

Just to be clear, this is a ballad version of a traditional shanty song.
@@ronaldcammarata3422
It has been around since the 1790s or Very early 1800s. The origin of it and the writer or writers are unknown.
such a beautifull woman with the beautifull voice..I love it !!
It is what is good in the USA. It is along the lines of a hymn. Brilliantly done....
One of THE most delightful versions of this lovely old song i've heard yet !! ♥♥♥♥♥
This makes me cry every time... what a powerful piece of art... it only shows how far we've come as a species...
It means perfect star ⭐ Christ
Que; ??; How Far ?? We just kill with more precision & faster. 100s of Billions of Dollars daily subjugate people globally.
Her inspirational singing voice is a lullaby of my soul , and full of admiration tribute and deep emotion
Truly, this is Heaven... This is what Heaven sounds like... XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO LOVE IT. Thank you so much.
Just listened again, my loves.... ahhhhhhhh, this is Heaven for sure... sooooo beautiful!

The Shenandoah Valley is such a beautiful place. I wish they get the opportunity to see it sometime.
Really beautiful. Thanks!

This is wonderful.
So beautiful so comforting
Love that !!!
Beautiful! The wide Missouri flows only 5 km from where I live.
You are lucky. Where exactly do you live ?
And the Shenandoah is at the bottom of my mountain.
I live near Hannibal. Crossed the wide Missouri countless times :)
she is terriffffferic what a voice comes once in a life time
As an ex vocalist who got the boot as soon as my soprano broke i loved this and i have never seen so many beautiful girls in one place ?
Beautiful lyric soprano voice.
VERY VERY BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Beautiful, precioso!!!!
It’s amazing how well Slovenian Ernestina Jost can interpret this purely American song. The only person to sing this song better is American Jo Stafford, arguably the greatest female popular genre singer ever. You’re in great company Ernestina
orchestras like many individual instruments are beautiful to look upon as well as to listen to.
fantastic!!!
c'est très beau ,très émouvant ,bravo
Thank you so much...tears here from the beauty of the song and their angelic voices ❤️
A person who Can sing doesn't need an Act, they just sing.
This was mesmerizing. Zevnikov's touch where he clings to several bar, tenaciously, before he plunges into the revelation. Here, like a sneaky prelude (but awesome) with a persistent dominate note on the cello/counter-base then gently revealing the mystery of his interpretation. Bravo!
