I just listened to The Three Bells on youtube.I honestly can't think of a more beautiful,and moving,song...ever.
Every time I hear it I come close to tears.
The Three Bells
I like this version of "The Three Bells." It reminds me of my father, who, like the song's protagonist, was born in a community at the bottom of a valley (in Colorado, not Switzerland, where the song takes place) and died during a starry night. The song's dynamics seek to evoke emotions of joy grief, and hope.
Les Trois Cloches (the three bells)--Les Compagnons de la Chanson (the companions of song) with Edith Piaf (1946)
