The Most Beautiful Version of "Hallelujah" You Have Ever Heard

6,094,676 views  Aug 19, 2021  Just like many who starred in shows such as American Idol, America's Got Talent, and The Voice, Lucy Thomas also got her start on a show called The Voice Kids where she stunned audiences with her stunning vocal performance of Moon River. Lucy Thomas with her incredible renditions of many Pop, Musical, and Broadway classics has since won the hearts of millions leaving them mostly thinking, "a star is born". Enjoy this great rendition which has been covered by many such as Pentatonix, Jeff Buckley, Carrie Underwood, Bon Jovi, and many others.

In December 2020 Lucy Thomas released Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and it quickly became her most popular video on YouTube. Since then her popularity started gaining momentum to where she has over 37 million views as I type this. Lucy, you really deserve all the success in the world for the Joy you bring so many people from all over the world. All anyone has to do is watch the reaction of people in the video to see what effect Lucy has on so many. I just want to say thank you to Lucy and once again, congratulations! 

Update 7/8/2022:  Please note, that this video is not the original video but a fan-created, that fan being me, a tribute to Lucy and all the people that supported her and helped her achieve 10 million views with her original video. The people, in the beginning, are the people who do reaction videos where they watch and listen to videos and record their reactions while watching the video. All these people in the clips were actually listening to Lucy performing this song and that was their actual reaction to her performance. The middle is the build-up and celebration of actually achieving 10 million views. At the end of the song is the most important person in her life, her mother with a baby Lucy. Finally, the listing of names was all the people in her fan club at the time of the creation of this video.

The Coming Joy: Raff’s Ode au Printemps

by Maureen Buja 

Joachim Raff

Considered during his lifetime the premier symphonist of the day, Joachim Raff (1822-1882) has now virtually vanished from our concert stages. He was encouraged by Mendelssohn and his scores, sent to his publisher by Mendelssohn, got the approval of Robert Schumann in his reviews in his music journal.

Liszt was an admirer and asked Raff to join him in Weimar, where from 1850 to 1856, Raff was part of the Liszt household. Eventually, Raff tired of Liszt’s overbearing personality, but while he was in Weimar, was able to create his own musical voice, poised somewhere between the conservatism of the Mendelssohn / Schumann camp and the revolution of the Liszt / Wagner camp.

Entirely self-taught, his breakthrough came in 1863 when both his First Symphony and a cantata won prizes that brought him to the attention of the concert-going world. He became the founding director of the Hoch Academy in Frankfurt in 1877. The Hoch Academy was important not only for employing Clara SchumannTra but also for holding special music classes just for women. As a composer, he wasn’t merely a symphonist but also wrote operas, choral pieces, chamber music, songs, and, above all, works for the piano.

Tra Nguyen

His 1857 work Ode to Spring, is described as a ‘morceau de concert.’ He wrote it in Wiesbaden, six months after having left the Liszt household in Weimar. He now had musical independence and a fiancée, Doris Genast. The work is dedicated to Betty Schott, the wife of Wagner’s publisher, and she performed it in 1860 under its first title: Frühlingshymne (‘Spring Hymn’), described as a Caprice symphonique. Schott published it in 1862 as Ode au Printemps.

It’s not an ode to Spring having arrived, it’s an ode to the coming of Spring. The opening Largetto is atmospheric before the piano joins with a long cantabile melody. The piano is then joined by a solo cello and then the full orchestra. It is in the Presto section that Spring arrives with its exuberance and energy. A brass fanfare announces the true arrival of the season. The end of the work is calmer, sunlit, and closes with a flourish.
