My memories of this go back to 1951 when I played a '78' by Webster Booth on my grandmother's wind-up gramaphone - I often sing the first few lines when moving around my house! Magnificent!

To paraphrase Elvis Presley: "I saw you crying in The Tabernacle ... listening to some barbershop. And when the singing all was over .... you had wished it never stopped."

If Sir Arthur was alive he would be so thrilled to hear this stunning rendition

It was hard fo find a boy in my high school days who didn’t sing this at contest at some point. This is a special one to me.

Well done, Bless you all. Have you know that now in an obscure little village in the corner of England a grown man has been moved to tear! Thank you and well done again

This my grandmother's favorite song. I'm glad that I was able to play and record this for her.

My word, everything about this performance is perfect, and the voices blend so beautifully, it almost sounds like only a few individuals are singing at most points. Simply amazing. It makes me want to be with my choir and start singing right away.

Well done. I grew up with this song. My dad sang it. I played it. You wouldn't think it's hard to get it exactly right - but it is. Good job.

I had a spiritual experience of sorts at the 2000 SPEBSQSA competition in Kansas City, having had the pleasure of watching this chorus rehearse. I had a very clear dream of an old friend’s mother while staying at the hotel. A day or two later I was descending a spiral staircase so I could practice with New Tradition. Coming up the staircase was my friend from high school, Aric Stock, who I hadn’t seen in many years. He was singing with Vocal Majority. It gives me goosebumps thinking of this.

Adelaide Proctor wrote the words as a poem, and Arthur Sullivan, sitting by his dying father’s bedside, set it to music. A famous singer named Mary Ronalds sang it many times and the original score was buried with her. It is the eulogy of eulogies. Thank you for this. Always brings tears.

I believe it was on the deathbed of his brother, not father.

Played a recorded version at my Wife's funeral this past Saturday. An instrumental version that Al Hirt recorded with the Boston Pops in 1964.

I'm sorry, but Kids don't know what music is these days. This is absolutely moving. Love this piece.

See, the thing is, your parents probably would've said the same thing, and their parents before them. This piece is magnificent, but I don't think music appreciation should be a generational thing.

Who was playing the organ here, Richard Elliott, Clay Christiansen, one of the staff organists?

@JustABill02 4 жыл бұрын

There is no organ in Barbershop.

its just background for the chorus

Well, maybe the only way they could simulate that 32 ft organ stop starting at 5:10 (perhaps an enclosed Bombarde) with human voices was if they hired some Russian Oktavists (basso profundo).

Comments like these represent the biggest obstacle to the younger generations joining the BHS - the old gray guard being too rigid about expanding beyond polecat stuff

Guys, I’ve had the opportunity to play this immense instrument, she is a beast that can both soothe and stir excitement, I also got to accompany a choir singing this song in a funeral. Believe me, this song, this chorus and THIS organ…belong together! Besides, the song talks about the organ.
