O Lord, make thy servant Charles - William Byrd | Ensemble Pro Victoria
zhlédnutí 2,6KPřed rokem
William Byrd joined Elizabeth I's Chapel Royal in 1572, and probably wrote this anthem a few years later. The text, from psalm 21, was customised to address the queen by name. Following the death of Elizabeth I in 1603, the work was rededicated to Charles I, as it is found in the Peterhouse Caroline partbooks. During the reign of Elizabeth II, Byrd’s original was - of course - pleasingly fittin...

Jehova Quam multi sunt (Z135), composed by Henry Purcell (1659-1595) circa 1680, live from the 2021 London International Festival of Early Music. Jehova, quam multi sunt hostes is one of only two sacred Latin motets by Purcell which, from its autograph manuscript, has been dated around 1680. It is not known why Purcell should have set a Latin Psalm text: it seems highly improbable that such a w...

In dulci jubilo - German trad. arr. Pearsall.
Per motivi personali, sono molto legato a questo brano. Grazie per averlo pubblicato in una versione così bella e intensa.
Accomplished - but for me two much vibrato in the top voices.
Such a gentle song ❤❤
The sound engineers DID NOT do these voices justice. Please hire a proper recording engineer, then send it out to mix and master if you want to save costs. These voices deserve the best possible capture!
Thanks for your comment, @anhtrinh781! What do you think could have been done differently/better? We’re intrigued! This was done by Delphian Records, who have just celebrated 20 years (and a fair few Gramophone awards in the last few years!)
Wow!!! You popped up by chance (algorithm) on my CZcams feed!!!! This is my all time favourite a capella vocal work and you sing it with CLASS!!!! Right up there with Voces 8!!! I've subscribed and liked and will look forward to seeing and hearing more of you!!! Thank You. You brought a welcome warmth of notes into my otherwise cold day!!
Thank you so much! A dream comment for us! Looking forward to releasing lots more like this (and including this re-released) as part of our 2024 Christmas album, Nowel el el. 🎄
is this pitch-corrected?..
No (and never, in classical recording!) 😊
I loved it...beautiful voices. I have one question (and it might be my equipment) but it seemed one singer slightly louder than the other (left v right) but of course this could be an element of the score itself.
Hi Geoff! A touch of where the mics are positioned, and a touch of where the parts sit in the voices, as you suggest above.
У той, что слева голос выше и звонче. У той, что слева голос и ниже, и глуше. Вот и всё.
Woke up to singing this song last Sunday of month in June, 30th, 2024. And I had to look for the piece, that's how I got here, beautiful rendition 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
😍 We hope it goes really well! Happy Peter and Paul Sunday!
@@EnsembleProVictoria Oh I sure did, and subscribed to your channel. I can't miss, I will listen to other pieces and seat on everyone of them, I'm glad I found Yu guys, all the way from Nigeria actually
BRAVA!🎉🎉
Just beautiful
Heartbreaking.
Even outperforming Voces8. Well done!
Lovely - perfect balance, and a powerful build-up via the organ solo to the closing section.
Thank you!
might have to sing this at mass on the feast of the inocents.
Wow
Beautiful and comforting
Inspiring.
Another amazing song. Sometimes I send this to a person on Facebook when they have accomplished something or have a birthday
Beautiful memories!
Such a beautiful song. I heard this from Mass of the Ages Guardians of Tradition and had to run and research this song!
That's why I'm here too!
It's so good!! Truly music given from God. I treasure it so much! God bless you.
Good sound, good look
sublime
Where are the trumpets?
So beautiful. So perfect.
Nicely done. Is there contemporary evidence of the performance of Purcell's anthems with this sort of smaller ensemble?
We’ll have to do some research and get back to you! We certainly know the answer for a portion of our Tudor repertoire and our 2024 recording - Henry VIII on Tour. His riding chapel was made of four boys and six men. A crack team!
🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🔭
Thank You brother
Don't worry; we won't be angry with you forever.
I much appreciate these nice voices
Wonderful ❤
Absolutely ethereal. Fantastic rendition. So eloquent and haunting. I will return repeatedly to hear this!
Breathtakingly beautiful. Boy, could I hear those trumpets
Celestial singing.
The feminine transforms everyrhing including music
We certainly enjoy our mezzos singing this piece!
@@EnsembleProVictoria It was a pleasure to listen to and compare to other good versions.
Beautifully performed, truly celebrating the glories of this day.
Awesome performance ❤❤❤❤
Stunning
Bizarre. This isn’t about Charles III.
Historically this work has been renamed for each successive monarch. It’s handy that we have had a few with similar names, as the underlay could remain exactly the same as the sources from the time of Charles I and Charles II! Same for Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II.
Happy feast day❤😥
This demonstrates the value of good recording practices in making an excellent piece performed by excellent musicians truly shine.
Got this on Christmas Day whilst preparing the turkey..absolutely love this..very haunting and enchanting
Just gone midnight on Christmas eve and that was perfect for the moment. Thank-you and Merry Christmas!
Completely Exquisite.
Reminds me of my grandmother ....she spoke only German till the age of 25 ...born in Northwestern MN ..her favorite !!!
Unglaublich!!! Das Schönste, was ich seit langem gehört haben!!! Vielen vielen Dank ❤
Está es la primera versión de gran obra
Lush.

One of the very greatest of all church anthems. A real energised live performance with young technically superb singers. A joy to listen to.
