Let The River Run, Gordano Gorgeous Chorus & Gurt Lush Choir, Colston Hall, 4th July 2015
Музыка
Gordano Gorgeous Chorus & Gurt Lush Choir sing Wendy Sergeant's arrangement of Carly Simon's "Let The River Run" as part of the 'Best of the West Concert' at The Colston Hall, Bristol.
Featured in the soundtrack of the 1988 film 'Working Girl'
Simon has stated that she found inspiration for the lyrics by first reading the original script, and then the poems of Walt Whitman. Musically, she wanted to write a hymn to New York with a contemporary jungle beat under it, so as to juxtapose those opposites in a compelling way. The phrases "Silver Cities Rise" and "The New Jerusalem" seem to have taken on a new meaning for many people, but the song was not originally composed with any particular political and/or religious overtones, although you may recognize allusions to William Blake and 19th-century English history.

Totally agreed.
Choirs don't come any better than this. These are unpaid purveyors of such beautiful music and all done purely for pleasure. Thanks to all involved for making this 70 year old man so happy.
Let the river run...my heart is aching. From SA! Love to Israel.!
I think the reason this was done do well was because the people who sang it had already LIVED it. They knew that they were singing about, whereas younger groups have not lived it yet
Now we’re in the midst of the COVID 19 pandemic. This is especially uplifting today.
Omg, INCREDIBLE! INCREDIBLY GOOD!!
This reminds me that, after all this darkness, there will eventually be light.

Sry all you Males who like this Song. I got myself always watching her "Cloth".. Nice People / Nice Song
The director couldn't make a better dress
The Von Trapps had many offsprings
There is a river that flows out from the throne of God Almighty Jehovah. I can almost hear this song by Carly Simon being sung by a mighty choir of angels in that magnificent celestial city called Heaven where you and I can spend eternity. "It's asking for the taking!" Jesus saves!
They sadly remind me of the elderly loosing their lives to the pandemic.
