Diasebad, some ten amateur singers, without having singing lesson, vocal training before, start exercizing, singing in old age of over 50 years since May 1999. Many are over 70, near 80 years by now.
Yet, we're so proud and happy, we, old agers, still have the courage to perform, sing and enjoy this beautiful, dificult piece.
Though but poorly recorded with my digital pocket camera that is not very sound sensitive, compared to a good tape recorder yet am I grateful for it and have I preserved this in You Tube for us to live for ever every time we were visited.

The Choir Conductor, aged 82, exercising his voice, playing the piano, recording, conducting his choir, edit and broadcast it all himself.
Who Is Your Schoner Stern?
Imagine the Choir Conductor having his choir of old-agers still singing such songs as Mein Schoner Stern, The Man I love, Someday My Prince Will Come, ... which they enjoy as though they were teen-agers and sing it even in a church service. He said these songs are Solomon's Songs of this age.
No composer composes the Song Of Solomon, which are love songs, into music, no pastor dared to preach it.
"I now can sing "Mein Schoner Stern" by heart" said Opa Johan's wife happily.
"Who is your Schoner Stern?" Opa Johan whispered. Then he offered her his cheeks to be kissed.
"You're really a scoundrel" she said "indignently".
So when you want to know what Schoner Stern means you can find the English version in You Tube and hear the beautiful music of R. Schumann.
