Perfect. And a phenomenal lead Violin. Gifted musician.

Tears...unbelievable solemn and piercing. Omg...the children... Tears just fell off my face.... Wow!

Lord haveyMercy absolutely amazing GivethanXxo 🙏💪🥰😚🤩

...puts how we love ... into perspective...and how each moment....is simply precious x

Listening to this again today and thinking of those families and the way we let down children still today 😔

I have no words only tears of sorrow.

I was 10 years old when this tragedy happened. I remember watching it with 4 brothers and 4 sisters on a black and white telly. It was truly heartbreaking then as it is now. What a beautiful performance, especially the children.

violin is miraculous.

Karl Jenkins is a genius ! He is one of the best , or probably the best modern composer !

Very beautiful; I weep again to hear it. I still remember that terrible, terrible day: 21 October 1966.

Speechlessly beautiful - all the tragedy, desperation, chaos and grief 'held together' by an underlay of calm resignation - pure 'feeling' as only Karl Jenkins can compose.

The lament for the valley, so sad it always brings a tear and i feel the pain in my heart those poor poor children

So very deeply touched by the Exquisite violin lament, embraced by the soft children's choir !!!!!!!! Thank you Greetings from Athens Greece

captures the emotions stirred by such a terrible event. RIP all those poor children and adults who lost their lives that day Lest we Forget god bless them all

This sends the soul soaring, transcendent music, tearing at the heart strings

This lament is so beautiful it is almost painful.

It is amazing music.

I get chills. Every time. Thank you Karl Jenkins.

Wanted to cry, so sad but beautiful at the same time, I remember hearing about it at school, I was the same age as them poor poor soles, R.I.P

Although my tears have dried, my heart still cries.

Sir Karl, you have won me over. I've performed three of your major works and one is more wonderful than the other.

Musica struggente in ricordo di un disastro immane....

I recorded and watched the performance. It moved me to tears! I remember the event so well. I was 13. I felt numb and traumatised by what I saw on black and white TV. I was very very angry with God! A senior master in our school commented: "You did not have your head bowed in prayer during school assembly. Why not?" I replied: "Why did God let Aberfan happen?" He said nothing and I bottled my feelings up. It became a real stumbling block to my faith for the next 20 years - before I was able to reconcile that it was the Coal Board and not God to blame! Thank you to the composer and performers. It was a fitting memorial work. Bless you all... and the people of Aberfan.

That must have been so traumatic for you; I'm not surprised your faith was shaken. But I'm glad you've come to realise that God was not to blame. God is not the cause of the terrible things we see today and very soon he will undo all the effects of suffering, including resurrecting those who have lost their lives such as those poor children www.jw.org/en/publications/books/bible-teach/is-this-what-god-purposed/

Absolutely fantastic..love from India.

This song came on Classical MPR (Minnesota) on June 19th at approximately 9pm. I remember clearly because I found it so incredibly moving that I literally pulled off the road and stopped my car to soak in its beauty. By the end, I had tears in my eyes. Without understanding a word or knowing the song title, I could feel the lamenting. I went to the station website to learn more about it and eventually landed here. Actually seeing it performed makes it even more moving-- the energy and commitment of the violinist is electrifying. This is one of the most lovely pieces of music I've ever heard and I feel truly blessed to have experienced it in my lifetime. Bravo, Sir Jenkins!

Maravilhoso!

This just rips ur heart out, it's pure, raw emotion in music form

very touching, perfect combination of instruments and vocals

Very beautiful, right from the soul, the duet between violin and choir touches my heart

breathtaking ! Realy amazing !

Génial ! Sublime .! Triste !

This is moving and brilliantly wrritten, made more so by the children coming from the Welsh valleys and numbering if I am correct exactly 116 the number who died. The violin , the nearest instrument to a human voice is amazing!! A true cry!! I was the same age as these children 11 Years old and it was the day my childhood ended. Adults have no answers and are powerless even to defend children. What is so terrible is to me is that the injustice of the huge amount of money that was collected from all the world was taken by the powers that be to remove the very slag tip that buried those children!! It was the biggest injustice this country has ever done!! What is the second travesty??.......That given the chance to show this amazing moving Cantata was only available on BBC Wales!! English viewers had to rely on Classic FM to broadcast it, and eventually BBC 4 show it after the 21 st October!! Hardly a fitting remembrance!! But.....perhaps there was a reason!! They didn' t want us to hear in one of the pieces the words sung by Bryn Terfyl " Buried alive by the National Coal board". Enough said........rest in peace little angels.

oh my goodness! moving to the soul of you have one . seriously though this is so incredible.

So happy to be performing in this ( I was behind the conductor!)

“Ethereal” is the absolute PERFECT word to describe his compositions.

This is extraordinarily emotional. Joo Yeon Sir is superb. What a fitting memorial piece. One of the most moving compositions I have ever heard: I love how it weaves the vocals, violin, chorus, all with distinct tones into a wonderful tapestry. The violin soars and dances over the somber vocals and orchestra, like the human spirits escaping as the mud and sludge descends on the village.

This music, the whole piece is so beautiful and I am so happy for your having been part of such an utterly important performance.

This would make a very beautiful song to skate to, alternatively I could definitely imagine Yuzuru Hanyu skating to it professionally. His performance of hope and legacy and Romeo and Juliet are very similar to the aura given off by this song. Especially as his Romeo and Juliet free skate was created to personify the earthquake and tsunami in Sendai, Japan.

What are the lyrics for this song?
