Never heard this before till tonight. It's beautiful as is your rendition.

This song is still super well known in Atlantic Canada and parts of Quebec, definite classic

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.

Great old French Canadian tune played beautifully, thanks👍

Great playing kids !!! I am in my 70's so you will always be kids to me !!

That is the best arrangement of St. Anne's Reel on the web to date. IMHO!

I must say, I have recently discovered you channel and I absolutely love your version of this. I often play it while editing, here at my home in the Nottingham in England.

This has to be my favorite version of this tune

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!

Absolutely stellar song.

Love it! I play this song on the mountain dulcimer. One of my favorites.

Oh to be in that living room with this great group of performers!☺♥

Wow! …just…WOW!!!

What better to start the year with good Music ❤

Oh my God, this is simply splendid. Thanks and God bless you all.

Great arrangement of this tune! 💖

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.

Lovely arrangement, builds beautifully, I could listen to this all night, and what a pleasant way to spend an evening

That was fantastic. I can't believe I've not come across you all before. Such a lovely arrangement. Thank you for that

WOw! lovely arrangement......

Sweet, you clever and beautiful young folks!

Beautiful! Thank you so much for this. It was inspiring!

Every instrument in this arrange me was beautifully mixed not one out of place. GREAT JOB!

Loved it-especially the way you built it up- played my bodhran along with you- Thanks

One of my favorite pieces. Great job. There are a group of us from Appalachian State University play this at the Apple Barn dances.

Beautiful... God Bless

Wonderful - Thank You!!! Helps a novice fiddler tremendously to have such a terrific performance to play along to and learn with. Regards, Bob W Bristol, RI (Love Utah)

Fantastic musicians. Great arrangement and nice to hear the clawhammer banjo lead it.

You are amazing.... bravo from Greece

I’m learning this on cello and play this recording as backup, so fun. Thank you.

I absolutely love this group with all my heart. Every Musician is so immaculate. I hope you are still playing. I love this tune I played it with my grandfather as he played fiddle I played my accordion now I use my tyros 3. I also started my channel again and so much to learn. Enjoy this the second time keep going. Big Hearts to all.💘💘💘💘💘💘

Nice. I wished we had more exposure to this during the 50s and 60s

Great sound and version of this song

So good!❤

Love this:)

Lovely.

Beutiful!!

This is really good!

Great job. Looks like it would be fun to jam with. That's a very happy drummer :)

lovely... greetings from bali 😃

that was fun!

Amazing

Soli De Gloria!

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.

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.

great vid!

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.

Very nice …..☮️🎶🔛🌎

Y’all are good

Brilliant musicans fiddle player is top notch

CLAWHAMMER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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

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

@@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.

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

You just wanna start tap dancing, even if you got no idea how. 😀

this sounds good with a D didgeridoo in the bottom....( I ve done it), Angeline the Baker also.

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

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.

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.

Love it - very well played ❤❤ All the best from a little island …called Ireland ❤

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.

Very nice. This is actually a Canadian tune, not Irish.

Hey! Where's the chicken? One of the girls played a chicken in the Keep On The Sunny Side video. Where's the chicken?

Guys, why don't you go on with that?

I wish Ellie Geslison was in this... still good tho!

You guys should call yourself the soak'n string band 🤘

i like the part where this was only possible through cult trauma

who else is here because of Tally Ho?

Very nice... but not the St Anne's Reel I know, What does BYU mean? This is very smooth, you've removed the passion.

Are musicians supposed to smile so much?

Don Messer is much better!

The Bodhran player is SUPER pretty!
