Nashville Ballet / Rhiannon Giddens with Francesco Turrisi - "Trees on the Mountain"

Incredibly beautiful! Every element of this collaboration is masterfully performed. And the entire work is rich and deeply touching.

Very cool, and always a delight to hear your voice.

Merci

Ballet?...somepthing new :-)
... beautifull!

Where have you been? This is perfect content for these times.

👍👍

Love, love, love this...and the dance was good too! Haunting, but for some reason, it lifted my spirits.

Thank you, as ever, for all that Rhiannon and Francesco do.

Never has losing someone seemed so beautiful and surreal. “How do I start this?”, what a natural statement and so poignant. Her voice, her lyrics, and her instruments are touch the soul. I wish I could render my thoughts to my wife the way Rhiannon does so perfectly....what a profound gift.

Oh my gosh Wow

Gorgeous

Rhiannon ALWAYS amazes me!

Love it.

Rhiannon and Francesco tell a story like no other. . .quite compelling everytime she sings. . .bellissimo

Che meraviglia! Grazie.

So Powerful!

I have to ask because of your name.......are your people Welsh?

Melancholic, moving, magical. Love the sound of rain at the end.

Beautiful, as always. Just a bit worried about the lack of social-distancing between the dancers!

Rigeneriamoci nella natura.

Beautiful music!!!

Rhiannon Giddens : una voce per tutte le stagioni.

Thank you so much for sharing your artistry with the world! I'll never forget meeting Ms. Godsend at Shakori Hills back during The Chocolate Drops days, and how I felt her white light. These songs are a gift to a world bereft of genius!

This was incredible, so beautiful, truly art.

Such beautiful dancing and singing!

I think credit should be given to Carlisle Floyd who wrote the opera "Susannah" from which Trees on the Mountain is from. This aria is similar to an Appalachian folksong but was an actual original composition by Floyd. This is a beautiful arrangement of that piece but not an original song/aria.

It combines the 2 things I like. Music and dance.

I have Ken Burns to thank for this. I had never heard of this beautiful vocalist or her band if not for his "Country Music" documentary.

hello can you make a cover - grimes delete forever - with banjo thanks

Superbe chanson, quelle voix et quelles images. Bravo 😌🙏

THANK YOU RHIANNON, FOR HAVING A REALLY BEAUTIFUL VOICE IN THIS AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL WORLD ! WE NEED TO HEAR MORE OF THIS BEAUTY. AMAZING !

Red Dead Redemption 2 Soundtrack! When I heard the song”Mountain Hymn”, No kidding, my ears perked up, I’ve totally been binging her videos since. She’s a great talent. Please keep it up Miss Rhiannon! I cannot wait to hear more of your wonderful music!

Oh. Wow. There is literally only one thing I'd love to see here: if either or both of the wonderfully talented dancers were people of color, this would be EVEN stronger. It is, regardless, BEAUTIFUL!

Lyrics: <3

The trees on the mountains are cold and bare
The summer just vanished and left them there
Like a false-hearted lover just like my own
Who made me love him, then left me alone

The coals on the hearth have turned gray and sere
The blue flame just vanished and left them there
Like a false-hearted lover just like my own
Who made me love him, then left me alone

Come back, O summer
Come back, blue flame
My heart wants warming
My baby a name
Come back, O lover
If just for a day
Turn bleak December
Once more into May

The road up ahead lies lonely and far
There's darkness around me and not even a star
To show me the way or lighten my heart
Come back, my lover, I fain would start

The poor baby fox lies all cold in his lair
His mama just vanished and left him there
Like a false-hearted lover just like my own
Who made me love him, then left me alone

Come back, O summer
Come back, blue flame
My heart wants warming
My baby a name
Come back, O lover
If just for a day
Turn bleak December
Once more into May

Come back, O summer
Come back, blue flame
My heart wants warming
My baby a name
Come back, O lover
If just for a day
Turn bleak December
Once more into May
Come back
Come back
Come back

Excellent.

Thank you

A beautiful voice, a thin beam of light in dark times, just long enough to dance in.

So beautiful!

Wow gorgeous song.

I love her voice and I love ballet what a perfect match! I wish I could see her in concert as soon as this pandemic is over with forever! Hope you could come to The Seneca Casino for a concert in Salamanca N.Y. as it is only an hour away! Perfect Performance!

Dang. That’s all i got

Breathtaking

Loe Rhiannon her music soothes me.

For now, I left with few words and many thoughts... My mind wonders to my youth, past and present... the whispering of love lost and memories forever retained, in both heart, mind , spirit and Eternity... thank you Rhiannon.
