Ralph Vaughan Williams - O taste and see - The Cambridge Singers

[Le_Trouvere]

Revisiting this since the service of our beloved Majesty Queen Elizabeth II featured this piece. Gorgeous melody.

[f.mackbeverly]

Perfection in musical style and message.

[william]

Such a simple and uncomplicated hymn but also supremely beautiful.

[jaredregister]

Composed for the Coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in Westminster Abbey on Tuesday, 2 June 1953.

[horaceffitch]

[timwingham]

Wonderous. I used to sing this as a chorister, first as a soprano and then as a tenor. Oh the memories. Beautiful beautiful.

Over fifty years ago, we got to sing this in sixth grade at our sixth grade teacher's wedding! ...A nice choice for a wedding song!

[jenniferrussell]

I’m not religious but if anything were to make me become so, it would be something wondrous like this. Shed a tear every time, wishing I believed, so I would know I’d see my late son again.

[Delmonaco]

O taste and see how gracious the Lord is: blest is the man that trusteth in him.

I thank you so much for these videos ... during the pandemic I've not sung in a choir anymore and I just enjoy singing with these videos. 🤗

This is a great arrangement.  I sang it as a child in a boys choir and it resonated with me then.  What I notice now is how deceptively simple it seems, but it is actually quite complex.  Not a wasted note.  And yet, it sounds so rich and moving.  No need for a lot of notes when the right ones will do.

A masterpiece!

This was sung at our wedding in 1961 by the boy's choir at St Paul's Episcopal Church in Kenwood, Chicago.

[lilykelly]

We sung this in the Notre Dame latirgical choir for mass and vesberse. It was beautiful with the amazing acoustics of the Notre Dame Basilica and the Saint Mary's Church of Lurretto.

[alex-fovf]

Perfect, amazing and brilliant all at the same time well done Vaughan Williams

[Gimmer]

I loved singing this in a church choir!

[hannahnorris]

This was my first solo! All Saints Church, Hampton: 1986 🎼

[PoshLifeforME]

Reminds me of Robert Holdstock's admiration of Vaughn Williams in his fantasy novels Mythago Wood and Lavondyss.

[pharaoh]

My favorite of ALL John Rutters pieces.

[raffertyhooke]

I'm singing the solo of this tomorrow
