Deanna Durbin - Danny Boy

Performer - Deanna Durbin Lyrics - Frederick Weatherly The famous ballad "Danny Boy", ironically, was written by a man who never set foot in Ireland. Weatherly, an English barrister who was also a prolific poet, had originally set "Danny Boy" to music he had composed. The song was not successful. When he heard the "Londonderry Air", he realized that "Danny Boy" would fit nicely to that tune. Over 100 songs have been set to "Londonderry Air", but "Danny Boy" is the most famous. Band and orchestral musicians will also recognize the tune as Grainger's "Irish Tune from County Derry". Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling, From glen to glen and down the mountain side; The summer's gone, and all the roses falling; It's you, it's you must go, and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow, Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow; I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow; Danny boy, Oh Danny boy, I love you so. But if ye come and all the flowers are dying, If I am dead, as dead I well may be. Ye'll come and find the place where I am lying, And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me. And I will know, 'though soft ye tread around me, And then my grave shall richer sweeter be, Then you'll bend down and tell me that you love me, And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.
Deanna Durbin - Amapola

Deanna Durbin, at age 17, sings the popular song "Amapola" by Joseph LaCalle, from the movie "First Love". "First Love" is a wonderful movie adaptation of Cinderella. Deanna Durbin as a modern day (well, 1930s modern) Cinderella is quite charming - this is one of her very best movies.
Deanna Durbin - Silent Night

From the movie "Lady on a Train" (1945) "Lady on a Train" is one of Durbin's better movies, especially among her later efforts. However, critics at the time were vicious with mostly negative reviews. They wouldn't let her grow - the demand was for her to play light comedy with lots of singing, and nothing else. However, the clever noir-comedy-murder mystery is well-received by critics today. Still, I have to hand it to Time magazine for the nastiest yet most hilarious review, especially in its description of this particular scene: "Lolling on a bed, she sings Silent Night to her father by long-distance telephone, while the camera treats her the way John Gilbert used to treat Garbo, in a manner that must be seen to be believed. For fanciers of the strange and terrible, Miss Durbin's quietly orgiastic salute to the Nativity is a must."
Deanna Durbin - The Last Rose of Summer

Performer - Deanna Durbin Words - Thomas Moore Music - John Stevenson This is from the movie "Three Smart Girls Grow Up". The song was recorded just before Durbin's 17th birthday, in late 1938. 'Tis the last rose of summer, Left blooming all alone, All her lovely companions Are faded and gone. No flower of her kindred, No rose bud is nigh, To reflect back her blushes, Or give sigh for sigh.
Schubert - Ave Maria - Deanna Durbin

Deanna Durbin, at age 18, singing Franz Schubert's masterpiece. Here is what Schubert had to say about this song, in a letter to his father: "My new songs from Scott's 'Lady of the Lake' especially had much success. They also wondered greatly at my piety, which I expressed in a hymn to the Holy Virgin and which, it appears, grips every soul and turns it to devotion." ________________________________________ Ave Maria Gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Ave, ave dominus Dominus tecum Benedicta tu in mulieribus Et benedictus Et benedictus fructus ventris Tuae, Jesus. Ave Maria Ave Maria Mater Dei Ora pro nobis peccatoribus Ora, ora pro nobis Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus Nunc et in hora mortis In hora mortis nostrae In hora mortis, mortis nostrae In hora mortis nostrae Ave Maria Amen __________________________________________ Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. ______________________________________ The close-ups are of her co-stars in the film: Kay Francis, Walter Pidgeon, Cecilia Loftis, Lewis Howard, Samuel S. Hinds, and the wonderful SZ Sakall (Carl the waiter from Casablanca) in his American film debut.

Deanna Durbin - Vienna Boys Choir - Ave Maria - Bach/Gounod

Deanna Durbin and the Vienna Boys Choir (Wiener Sängerknaben) perform the Bach - Gounod setting of Ave Maria. This performance was filmed in the fall of 1937, when Durbin was 15 years old. The movie it is taken from is "Mad About Music". Thanks for dholl17 for pointing out that the boys choir you see is the St. Luke's Choristers from Long Beach, CA. However they are just mouthing the words that Deanna Durbin and the Vienna Boys Choir had already recorded. *Note - this is the second version I've posted. The earlier version simply had too much distortion. This time, I've made a new master DVD from my original tape and uploaded with a program which allows for higher quality sound transfers, and I hope the listener will now be able to appreciate a little bit more how Miss Durbin sounded. Still, considering the recording was made in 1937 with primitive equipment by today's standards, there is no way to know just how great her voice was.*

Deanna Durbin - Loch Lomond

Deanna Durbin performs the Scottish folk song which was probably composed in the 1700s. This clip comes from the 1940 movie "It's a Date", filmed when Durbin was 18. By yon bonnie banks and by yon bonnie braes Where the sun shines bright on Loch Lomond Where me and my true love were ever wont to gae On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond. O you'll tak' the high road and I'll tak' the low road And I'll be in Scotland afore ye For me and my true love will ne-er meet again On the bonnie, bonnie banks o' Loch Lomond. 'Twas there that we parted in yon shady glen On the steep, steep sides o' Ben Lomond Where deep in purple hue, the hieland hills we view And the moon comin' out in the gloamin'.
Deanna Durbin - Because (movie version)

Performer - Deanna Durbin Lyrics - Edward Frederick Lockton (using the alias "Edward Teschemacher") Music - Helen Rhodes (pen name "Guy d'Hardelot") Because, you come to me, with naught save love, and hold my hand and lift mine eyes above, a wider world of hope and joy I see, because you come to me! Because you speak to me in accent sweet, I find the roses waking `round my feet, and I am led through tears and joy to thee, because you speak to me! Because God made thee mine, I'll cherish thee, through light and darkness through all time to be, and pray His love may make our love divine, because God made thee mine! ______________________________________ Written in 1902, this was first recorded by Enrico Caruso. It has the distinction of being one of the first major songs composed by a woman. A popular wedding song, Deanna Durbin performed this during the wedding scene in "Three Smart Girls Grow Up" and again in real life at her sister's wedding. This performance was recorded in 1938.

Deanna Durbin - Thank You America

Performer - Deanna Durbin Music - Walter Jurmann Lyrics - Bernie Grossman From the 1941 movie, "Nice Girl". The movies of 1941 had a strong patriotic flavor as America was getting closer to entering World War II (the most direct example is "Sergeant York"). Though "Nice Girl" is a delightful movie about the antics of the Dana family in a rural New England town, there are also times during the movie when the viewer is reminded of the situation in Europe and duties to country.

Tosti - Goodbye - Deanna Durbin

Performer - Deanna Durbin Music - Francesco Paolo Tosti Lyrics - George John Whyte-Melville Goodbye, forever! Goodbye, forever! Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye! Hush! a voice from the far away! "Listen and learn," it seems to say, "All the tomorrows shall be as today." "All the tomorrows shall be as today." The cord is frayed, the cruse is dry, The link must break, and the lamp must die -- Goodbye to Hope! Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye to Hope! Goodbye! Goodbye! Falling leaf and fading tree, Lines of white in a sullen sea, Shadows rising on you and me; Shadows rising on you and me; The swallows are making them ready to fly, Wheeling out on a windy sky. Goodbye to Hope! Goodbye! Goodbye! Goodbye to Hope! Goodbye! Goodbye! What are we waiting for? Oh, my heart! Kiss me straight on the brows! and part again! Again! my heart! my heart! What are we waiting for, you and I? A pleading look, a stifled cry. Goodbye, forever! Goodbye, forever! Goodbye! Goodbye!

Performer - Deanna Durbin Music - Carl Maria von Weber Lyrics - Charles Henderson From the 1939 movie, "Three Smart Girls Grow Up", Deanna Durbin performs a delightful arrangement of Weber's "Invitation to the Dance". *Note: As a rule, I don't put up videos on Youtube that others have already posted. However, the other versions of this song are sped up and in the wrong key, robbing Miss Durbin's voice of much of its warmth. It is out of respect for Miss Durbin's artistry that I make this post so that her fans, both old and new, can finally hear this song as she originally performed it.*
