Title: Méav High Notes Post by: AmeavinRaven on January 03, 2008, 06:38PM As we all know, Meav is quite the soprano. ;)
What is the highest/favorite high note she hits? Some Méav high notes: -Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring (end; dizzyingly high and clear!) -Carol of the Bells (end; LOVE LOVE LOVE the high "ding dongs" she does...I always turn the sound up really loud on that part...I'm probably busting my eardrums, but what a good way to lose them!) ;)) -Celtic Prayer -At the Ceili (when she'd rather have a man for love) -Danny Boy -She Moved Thru the Fair -Silent Night etc... Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: KiernanKate on January 03, 2008, 06:41PM You Brought Me Up has a good high note she does beautifully.
and one can never forget Youkali. Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: leighlam on January 03, 2008, 06:43PM Good point Erin, also LROS, Somewhere, esp "We'll find a new way of living"

My favorites would be: Most definately the end of Jesu Joy of Desiring... Just wow. As well as her *ding dOng* lovess it! And At the Ceili... there should be a warning sign on all of these.." Folks, Do not try this at home" :D <3 Lauren xx Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: leighlam on January 03, 2008, 09:32PM HAHAHAHAHA!! True Lauren. I also think "Silent Night" should be added to the list as well. She sings it so well and effortlessly and a lot higher than I would even think of trying.
Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: celtic_fiddler on January 03, 2008, 09:33PM -Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring (end; dizzyingly high and clear!) Until I heard Meav sing that note, I was certain only the violin could get that high! She is amazing. Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: <3 Lauren on January 03, 2008, 09:35PM HAHAHAHAHA!! True Lauren. I also think "Silent Night" should be added to the list as well. She sings it so well and effortlessly and a lot higher than I would even think of trying. ANnnnnnnnnnnnndddddddddddd her Scarborough Fair... Watch out! lol <3 Lauren xx Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: leighlam on January 03, 2008, 09:37PM Hey, I can sing Scarborough Faire with no problem :D ;D
She does an amazing job on that song and everything she sings. Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: <3 Lauren on January 03, 2008, 09:38PM Hey, I can sing Scarborough Faire with no problem :D ;D She does an amazing job on that song and everything she sings. amen. ;D <3 Lauren xx Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: Hannahlmatt on January 03, 2008, 09:38PM I think that the high note on 'Jesu, Joy..." is at least a "G" or an "A."
Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: leighlam on January 03, 2008, 09:40PM Actually I think it's a B :o
Might be an A. I'll have to try to figure that one out. For sure, though, it's at least one ledger line above the staff. :o ;D Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: Hannahlmatt on January 03, 2008, 09:42PM Whatever note it is it's WAY up there!! :)

Going of the scales and all... wowness... ;D ;D :D :D <3 Lauren xx Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: Trouble on January 03, 2008, 11:02PM Don't forget O Holy Night! The very end she goes really high! :D
Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: <3 Lauren on January 03, 2008, 11:48PM Don't forget O Holy Night! The very end she goes really high! :D Definately didn't forget that one... I LOVE her part in O Holy Night. so great! <3 Lauren xx Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: Charlie'sAngels on January 04, 2008, 07:37AM YES...THAT'S IT!! I don't remember the words, but O Holy Night, near the end, her voice is unbelievable..like major goose bumps every time I hear it...what a beautiful sound she makes over the choir ;D Or in person, for that matter!
edit...I think it's 'o night, devine' with the last half of devine heavenly bound.. :D Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: willow-jeeves on January 04, 2008, 08:03AM I love her high notes on everything mentioned. She is amazing, oh wait...ameaving!
My favorite, though, has to be "Solveig's Song" on her debut CD. Wow! :o Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: Méav_4EVER on January 04, 2008, 08:03PM Actually I think it's a B :o Might be an A. I'll have to try to figure that one out. For sure, though, it's at least one ledger line above the staff. :o ;D It is an A! Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: leighlam on January 04, 2008, 08:05PM LOL! Thanks Catherine!
Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: Charlie'sAngels on January 05, 2008, 06:10AM I get a D for spelling. And memory. First, it's spelled 'divine', not devine, and the high note is just before Méav sings 'O night divine'...looking up the lyrics, it must be 'o Holy night'. Best part is doing homework...I listened to the Christmas Celebration again this mornig. (I can't see how I'd ever get tired of listening to her sing...got goosebumps again!!) ;D
Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: RMNP_Hiker on January 05, 2008, 11:21AM Last Rose of Summer, absolutely amazing.
Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: Jonas on January 05, 2008, 02:37PM Don't forget O Holy Night! The very end she goes really high! :D I've listened closely, and to everyone's surprise, it's Lisa that goes high at the end as she sings the melody in the chorus. If you listen real closely at the Slane version, it's Lisa that goes high. It's tough to hear on the Christmas DVD because of the enormous choir singing. Also, Meav does that one Gloria high towards the end of Ding Dong Merrily on High. Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: <3 Lauren on January 05, 2008, 04:22PM Last Rose of Summer, absolutely amazing. um.... YES! ;D <3 Lauren xx Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: Albertan on January 07, 2008, 06:37AM I have to second willow's nomination: that octave interval in Solveig's Song gives me goose bumps every time!!!
Gordon Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: Celtic Liz on January 12, 2008, 04:43PM I love her high notes in every song that she does. It makes me want to get that high someday :)
Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: Celtic Chan on July 17, 2017, 06:28PM Here are some songs where Méav's high notes really stand out to me:
With CW: - Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring (the ending note!) - The Soft Goodbye - Carol of the Bells (those "ding dongs...") - Ding Dong Merrily on High ("Gloria!") - Oh, Come All Ye Faithful Without CW: - Celtic Prayer - Dante's Prayer - Down by the Sally Gardens Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: Emer Dreamer on July 17, 2017, 11:50PM I love her high notes on everything mentioned.

YES !!! ;DTitle: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: Emer Dreamer on July 18, 2017, 04:07AM I would add currently as well..... a few of her tracks from 'The Calling" such as "Songline To Home, Glimmering Girl" and "Glasgow's Burning". :-*
Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: FieryRedhead on November 26, 2017, 09:38PM Got to say, when I first hear Celtic Prayer when I was about 14, I was really surprised that she hit the C on "do" of "our hearts do say." I'd never heard anyone sing that outside of opera. Beautiful.

I'd never heard anyone sing that outside of opera. Beautiful. And many other songs on her various CDs demonstrate her upper register as well. Meav's Celtic Journey "Danny Boy" for example and her Christmas songs on the 2 holiday DVDs. :)Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: FieryRedhead on November 27, 2017, 08:40PM Got to say, when I first hear Celtic Prayer when I was about 14, I was really surprised that she hit the C on "do" of "our hearts do say."

Title: Re: Méav High Notes Post by: Emer Dreamer on April 14, 2018, 06:06PM And that is Meav's towering super soprano during the last 45-50 seconds of Hark the Herald in HFC! :-*
