Delightful. There were a couple of moments at which I would have kicked everyone in sooner, but once everyone hit their stride it became an excellent performance.

Good rendtion of a french canadian reel composed by Joseph Allard. The reel would be named after a town in New-Brunswick: Ste-Anne. Thank you!

Fantastic Group so magnificently played So toe-tapping and enjoyable all around thank you. My Granddad and I used to play this when he was alive and I was a boy on the Accordion he was on the fiddle. Bravo!!!! He was a Left-handed Bow guy for the fiddle. Both of us self taught. But I so loved your rendition.

I love this version and I know many. I always feel like BYU groups have an interesting approach to Celtic-based music-it’s like anglicizing by a different route? There’s a great BYU a cappella version of Danny Boy that has a similar approach. It feels less gritty and folksy than an Irish or Appalachian version but the orchestration is more precise.

An absolute credit to BYU. Great to see kids being exposed to something of value instead of some of the junk taught elsewhere. A great arrangement particularly the evocative keyboard break in the middle. Hats off to all concerned, From Australia.

@patrickkelly9982 Жыл бұрын

I've played fiddle for over fifty years and there are many great tunes around. To me, St Anne's is the most smile inducing, foot-tapping-est and at times tear dropping tune of them all. This arrangement caps them all.

So great to see a university ensemble doing Americana: jazz, classical, and folk are all in trouble without the patronage of the one place where music can still be taken seriously. Without schools of music, it's all at risk.

Universities are exactly where musical forms go to die. The less of this music being played in music schools, the better. They'll do what they did to Jazz...killed it.

Just wondering…seemed like with this arrangement, they changed key a couple times. It was wonderful. Am I right?

@MrKeithtoad 2 жыл бұрын

I didn't catch that. They changed up the tempo and tastefully brought in all the instruments gradually.

@patrickkelly9982 Жыл бұрын

@@MrKeithtoad Agree. No key changes. Didn't need them. Arrangement stood on its own. Loved the keyboard break in the middle. Emphasised the rolling rhythm of the original and the immaculate chord structure. One of the finest melodies in the 'folk music' canon. Play it slow or play it fast, it's great and proven to be popular from Canada all the way through hillbilly music, bluegrass, square dances, Texas swing and Irish music. One of the finest melodies technically, in my view.

@whateversmurfette Жыл бұрын

no the key remained. repetition was scaled by instrument, but so precise it met even to the same perceived tempo in the end.

@ignert1 Жыл бұрын

Great arrangement but the information at the end is incorrect. This reel originated from French Canadian roots, not Ireland.

@fluffkiller 4 ай бұрын

The first RECORDING of this tune is from Montreal. It’s still an Irish Reel. As in, that’s it’s genre. Like “sweet home Chicago” is a blues.

@ricksawa5995 4 ай бұрын

I think the original comment by @ignert1 is correct. The tune is Irish-like for sure but not Irish. I think that the original citation from the band requires a historically accurate qualifier.
