This masterpiece was skilfully created and crafted by Ennio Morricone and sympathetically arranged by Darren Bartlett to appeal to every Nation across the Globe, regardless of language. There are no lyrics as such, instead the vocalists sing syllables and sounds so as not to distract the listener away from the inspiring melody and the beauty of the only instruments featured; the human voice. Superbly executed by Vocal Ensemble, Muzaria. Strong soloists, soaring descants and solid harmonies from the 11 singers. Filmed at Guildford Cathedral. Audio recording Mixed and Engineered by Alvin Allison. Filming & Video Production by Kingsbere Designs. #Muzaria #GabrielsOboe #GuildfordCathedral www.darrenbartlett.co.uk Copyright DMB MUSIC 2000-2019 www.muzaria.com  less

Ethel Waters first sang 'Stormy Weather' at The Cotton Club night club in Harlem in 1933 and recorded it that year. This version is based on that by the Golden Gate Quartet, the most successful of all of the African-American gospel music groups who sang in the jubilee quartet style. Formed in 1934 the group remains active today, although with no original members. This is from The OK Chorale's second public concert in March 2013 at St. Mary's Church, Woodbridge, Suffolk, UK.  less
