I VOW TO THEE MY COUNTRY - 3 verses - Choral or Soloist

quoia

The title just about says it all.

I'm looking for the FULL 3 verse version with vocals of I VOW TO THEE MY COUNTRY for my Dad's funeral

I'd prefer a choral recording given the choice but a group (similar to G4?) or a soloist (male preferred) if that's all that's available.

I've had a good search but not much luck so far, hope someone out there already knows of a version in existence and can point me in the right direction

Thanks for reading

Cheers

Katherine Jenkins has recorded it


Amazon lists about 100 different versions available as downloads

Would a version with verse 2 included but spoken, not sung be OK?

Unfortunately KJ's and every other one I've listened to so far only has 2 verses - the 1st and the 3rd - which seems to be the norm.

Probably not, difficult to say without hearing it.
Is this just the spoken word or with music ?

Thanks

This piqued my curiosity... I've listened to quite a few on Spotify and Youtube and can't find a single one that includes verse 2.

According to wikipedia it was never written as a 3 verse poem anyway - verse 1 was intended to replace what became verse 2. So the way it is commonly sung is apparently how it was intended.

I'm sorry to hear of your father's death.

I too was intrigued enough to do some delving, but I fear without success. Other people have asked the same question - see http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=172721 and answer came there none...
