Tim Gracyk's video: Open The Gates Of The Temple Paul Dufault tenor song by Fanny Crosby and Mrs Joseph F Knapp

"Open The Gates Of The Temple" Song by Fanny Crosby and Mrs Joseph F. Knapp Maybe you know the version by Richar Crooks or by Even Williams. Open the gates of the Temple, Strew palms on the Conqueror’s way Open your hearts, O ye people, That Jesus may enter today Hark! from the sick and the dying, Forgetting their couches of pain, Voices, glad voices, with rapture are swelling, Are swelling, are swelling a glad refrain! Paul Dufault, tenor Paul Dufault, born on December 10, 1872, was the most successful singer to come from Quebec. He is now forgotten since he did not have an important opera career--also, his recordings did not sell well. The tenor was born in Ste-Hélène-de-Bagot near St-Hyacinthe, Quebec. His career was confined to the concert platform, and he should not be confused with the French dramatic tenor Jean Dufault, who sang with Hammerstein's Manhattan Opera. Paul Dufault worked with Gustav Mahler, and the two men exchanged correspondence. He died in 1930.
