The lutenist complements this beautiful quartet of voices so well. BRILLIANT!!!!!!

It's wonderful to see and hear my favourite Dowland song being performed so beautifully and combined with gorgeous impressions of a nostalgic train and picturesque landscape.

This puts to shame the garbage that passes for music these days. This is heavenly!

how right you are when you say that and I bet what's happening now in this country would not have been allowed to happen in this country back in the days when this piece of music was composed !!!

This is truly wonderful. Showing the singing parts in quarto format in the early part of the video demonstrates how this music was something that could be done at home, or in a tavern, among friends. And the singing and playing is so lovely.

Absolutely beautiful music 👍👍 Master musicians. 1597 still relevant to today

Imagine the house parties when this was released. Just hearing choruses of people singing such music, with friends and family accompanying on instrumentation. Fantastic.

Das ist wunderbar, herzlichen Dank fürs Hochladen!!!

This brought back memories for me of a lovely English summer day spent with my niece as she showed us around Goathland. As Australians it brought the country where they filmed "Heartbeat" to life for us. Sadly, we didn't have Les Canards Chantants to sing John Dowland for us.

Absolutely exquisite, starting with the song itself, a Dowland masterpiece, the lyrics of which are haunting and moving and so true. Les Canards Chantants have beautiful voices and the harmony is just perfect. Congratulations to the Laudist, beautifully interpreted. The montage by train through North Yorkshire is perfect as a drop back to this song. Altogether a marvellous production and thank you so much for sharing this.

I just discovered this, it prompted real tears--of joy, of sadness (Dowland, remember!)--as former lute-player (I'm now too old, 78!) & I recognize the book of music that is being used. It is GREAT, & very satisfying. Blessings on you all!

Steam trains, Yorkshire, Hogwarts, Lute, Renaissance, Vocals. All these are my favorites.

I have ridden the NYMR 2 or 3 times and see parts of it most weekends as I drive through the area My daughters have played The Frog Galliard within an ensemble with which they play. Having heard this sublime rendition of a familiar piece against a familiar setting, I shall view all so differently henceforth. So beautiful.

Awesome! I love lutes and railways (especially NYMR!) and Yorkshire and angelic voices! This has it all. I can die happy now!

MAY GOD PRESERVE THIS WONDERFUL PART OF ENGLISH CULTURE AND SPIRIT!!! ✌🏽

So well done on all fronts! One for the ages!

What an interesting contemporary setting for this poignant Renaissance classic! And very sweetly sung with excellent harmony.

Dowland is such a joy to sing - always thought that he's underestimated. When he's performed as well as this, it just brings a smile to your face. He also published the tune on its own as the Frog Galliard.

Playing music on a train is an old dream I realised only once. A short rehearsal before a concert with a new singer ...

So lovely and uplifting. Please do more!

Splendeur inestimable. John Dowland est eternel avec votre interpretation d'une profondeur rare. Merci et bravo à vous.

La plus belle interprétation de Now, O Now que je connaisse!

I had never heard of John Dowland until I met my good freind MN from Durham University. He is dead now but this music reminds me of him. I imagine it was the music of John Dowland which is playing in the opening scene of Twelfth Night-.

Lovely looking back on this - miss you guys xx

So wonderful to see young Graham Bier performing! What a beautiful film. And the music is heavenly. Thank you!

I found this a short while back. As another commenter pointed out - the four part harmony in the book is the original format for singing round a table from an early edition. The diction and harmony are beautiful and I then chased down more from the lutenist. Very glad indeed to have found this - please record some more for KZread if able to.

What an exquisite tenor voice. 🤩

This music is so comforting and beautiful. It puts me into a bery meditative place.

This is wonderful because it takes me right back (imaginatively) to all the long ages before recorded sound, all the countless happy moments when a group of talented friends or family would get together and bring sweet music into the home.

Que preciosidad: laúd, voces e imágenes. Para ver una y otra vez, en especial cuando te sientes con nostalgia y agradecido a la vida.

Très joli et très agréable ce voyage avec vous. Merci. F.

This is a truly wonderful experience! Thank you - I wish every success and please keep making such beautiful music!

A very important characteristic of a masterpiece of every art is its integrity. It means, no part should "clash". This short film is a masterpiece for all its parts to the least detail (the train, the bench, the check-in counter) are in harmony with the music and with each other. В любом произведении искусства очень важна цельность, ни одна его составная не должна выбиваться из общей картины. Этот короткий фильм - шедевр, потому что все его части вплоть до мелких деталей (билетная касса, скамейка, поезд) гармонируют и с музыкой, и друг с другом. Die wichtige Eigenschaft eines richtigen Kunstwerks ist seine "Ganzheit". Das bedeutet, dass kein Teil aus dem Ganzen ausfallen darf. Dieser Kurzfilm ist ein Meisterwererk, weil alle seine Bestandteile bis hin zu den kleinen Details (Kasse, Bank, Zug) miteinander und mit der Musik harmonieren. Une qualité extremement importante d'un œuvre d'art est son "Intégrité", c'est à dire que chacune partie intégrale ne doive pas sortir de l'ensemble. Ce film est un chef d'œuvre parce que toutes ces parties jusqu'aux plus petits détails (guichet, train, banquette) sont en harmonie l'une avec l'autre et avec la musique.
