this is a good song. But I feel the video is too busy. I think it needs to be softened up some and slowed down. it’s ok tho
Not a single song on Earth symbolizes the beauty of Marriage better than this one.
EXCELLENT VIDEO, BEAUTIFUL FADES. PERFECT TIMING, 10/10
“May these vows and this marriage be blessed.
May it be sweet milk,
this marriage, like wine and halvah.
May this marriage offer fruit and shade
like the date palm.
May this marriage be full of laughter,
our every day a day in paradise.
May this marriage be a sign of compassion,
a seal of happiness here and hereafter.
May this marriage have a fair face and a good name,
an omen as welcomes the moon in a clear blue sky.
I am out of words to describe
how spirit mingles in this marriage. “
The articulation in this song is poor its hard to understand the words because there not emphasizing the consonants but still a wonderful song were doing it in our choir at my school and we just started working on it yesterday and it sounds wonderful
my mum sung this with her choir that i had missed expo especially to go and see. she dedicated it to my dad for their wedding anniversary
shut up
I found the stereo version after listening to part of it in mono – wow, quite a difference – be sure and click the stereo link in the deion
Very nice setting. I must admit I hardly watched the visual part with all its bourgeois symbolism, but preferred to think of it in more abstract terms, with the musical setting leading the way. Although the words depict a secular marriage, the overall sound-world would not be at all out of place in a church setting.
To think I’d never heard this piece or of Eric Whitacre until just a few days ago, but I really like this piece – very evocative. Btw, did he also write the text?
Hmm, it would seem that the words are based on a poem by a Persian poet called Rumi. Is that correct?
WTF IS WTH THE RANDOM PICTURES?
I want this song to be sung at my wedding.
like, my actual wedding ceremony.
i’d explain how i’d want it done, but I’ll keep that to myself
That is correct. Its on Eric Whitacre’s “Couldburst” Album. Its amazing.
correct!
Absolutely love Eric Whitacre, and this song, but some of the pictures, particularly the Memoirs of a Geisha poster have nothing to do with the song. I’d prefer it with just a black screen actually. That’s how all Whitacre songs should be heard (if not live, of course)
It’s a poem by Jalal al-Din Rumi, who was a 13th Century Persian poet and theologist.
@fuckenfeliciaaa So do I.
yup, Jalal al-Din Rumi
i sang this song 2 years ago for my choir director’s wedding. it was so cool
