Ioannes Martinus
Registrace 10. 12. 2008
Funny music, serious music, random videos from life. Just the usual.
I'm a classically trained tenor, obsessed with early music, who somehow found his way onto NBC's The Sing-Off with Street Corner Symphony. I'm still involved with SCS, but I'm no longer touring. Now, in my spare time, I make videos to go along with my recordings!

This is the full liturgical version of the Reproaches for Good Friday. I'll have a virtual choir version of just the polyphony (about 2 minutes) up soon if you're not looking for a 20-minute marathon of a video. Chorus: Popule meus, quid feci tibi? O my people, what have I done to thee? Aut in quo contristavi te? Responde mihi! Or how have I discouraged thee? Answer me! Ἅγιος ὁ Θεός. Ἅγιος ἰσχυ...

Wow, probably the only choir that gave space to the tenor/s who hold the exquisite melody throughout and who always get lost in other versions. However the pace is like a machine and too fast.
“Too fast” is entirely a subjective judgment call, but I’m defending my own tastes from 13 years ago here, and I wouldn’t record it the same way today. That said, “machine like” pace to you is “consistent” to me, and I’d rather the music be made within the given tempo rather than by bastardizing the tempo with rubato or inaccuracy. To each his own, I suppose.
@@ioannium Speed is subjective, true, but the pace sounds like an even metronome which is not at all desirable with any music. I repeat, I really love the vocal balance of the voicings, that was amazing. Hope you get to do it again many times again as it is a remarkable piece of music ...
Ioannes Martinus It can even be preformed w/ the Organ.
This hymn goes well with the following passages of Scripture: Luke 3:7-18, Isaiah 12:2-6, Zephaniah 3:14-18a, and Philippians 4:4-9.
Dennis Herrick was my trumpet instructor back in jr. high and high school. Over 4 years ago!
What BPM is this one?
fantastico pezzo intramontabile
woow!!! I had missed it...
Divin !
I used to listen to this every night: czcams.com/video/2xNdWG-XO-k/video.html, but now I listen to this recording every night. It is so beautiful. Can we know the names of the singers? All have the most beautiful tenor voices. The highest tenor is fantastic. Bob
A „dialogue concert“ with organ, playing the original version“ could be amazing.
Incredibly beautiful work here, Ioannes....
I have a question . . . I studied Classical Greek in college, and ordinarily (you can see it from the diacritical mark over the alpha) in Greek "agios" is pronounced "hagios". Like Hagia Sophia. (Compare the diacriticals over the iota in "ischyros" and the alpha in "athanatos", which face the other way and therefore are not aspirated.) Is it a liturgical pronunciation? If so, Orthodox or Latin convention?
Having studied Koine myself in college, I specifically sought out liturgical pronunciation, but it's very hard to find solid references from the Orthodox compared to Latin from the Romans, so I essentially went with what I could find online. I'm not nearly as convinced on the correct-ness of the Greek here. It's a best-attempt, but one that's at best, "This random Orthodox monastery said so."
You'll notice, for example, that ἰσχυρός here is decidedly not /iskʰyɾos/ or /izkʰyɾos/, but /iskiɾɔs/.
@@ioannium Thanks! that's an answer! Funny that they don't pronounce the aspirate on "agios" but they do on the article "o" -- guess it's just "we've always done it that way." The most dangerous words in any language :-)
@@ioannium That's (I meant the pronunciation of ἰσχυρός) in line with classical pronunciation. I'm a bit handicapped by the fact that the preceptor who led our oral class had some unusual theories about Homeric Greek pronunciation, which I get all mixed up with the Koine . . . but as our choirmaster says, nobody can hear it anyway in a church with a strong reverb . . .
Beautiful. I’ve been struggling to find a version of this I like. I grew up singing it and I feel like everyone else takes it too fast. <3
Danke. Wunderbar.
Fantastici meraviglia pura...meritate l..olimpo degli deiiiiiii.. braviiiiiiiiiii.
This is so good, but can it be slower? i cannot hear the words very well
Прекрасно!!!
Absolutly Beautiful! Very little vibrato. I love it!
Excellent. Merry Christmas
the sound is not good I am quite disappointed
CovidImages need to be invested more than half19
Too fast !!
For one-on-a-part? Nah. The text and phrasing coupled with the number of singers determine the tempo, especially with polyphony.
Beautiful job, John! You've got a nice, gentle counter-tenor. Been enjoying your Diffusa Est over and over again. Where do you hail from?
Thanks! I'm currently in the Panhandle of Florida, though when it's not the middle of a pandemic, I sing with groups throughout the southeastern U.S.
Do you have a link for the Schola Sainte Cécile Saint Eugene Paris singing this beautiful chant? Their Presanctified Mass for April 2, 2021 is no longer up on CZcams!
Genius.
Very great work! Marvelous! Which software did you mix the vocal with? It sounds very, very nice!
What sample libraries do you use?
How do you get horns to sound like that? They sound super awesome
This is excellent! Could I use it for church next week?
Certainly! Thanks for asking.
@@ioannium Oh wonderful! Thank you!
Nos Placeat. Optime est
A newsletter from St George's Chapel, Windsor said this was sung at Matins today, so I wanted to hear it the musice because I love William Byrd. Reading the credits, I realiae that all the singers' names are variations on John Martin! I'm suspecting that this is one person harmonizing with himself?! If so, absolutely amazing and stunningly beautiful. Thank you.
Too fast and too mechanical, lacking sensitivity and empathy with the words.
Not really. But if you'd care to give a reason, I'm happy to give mine.
thanks
wonderful <3
This is amazing, good job!
Slower please
Why? It's not a dirge.
This is so beautiful.
I just noticed something: at the very end of the refrain, the text says “Responde mihi (with an “h” sound). But why is it in this version, it sounds like mi-K-i (with a “K” sound)? Can someone enlighten me on this? Or was it an mispronunciation?
The short version: Mihi and Nihil are pronounced as Ks in Ecclesiastical Latin. The long version: Originally, the words were spelled Michi and Nichil. For some reason, when those were reduced to Mihi and Nihil, the K sound remained in Ecclesiastical pronunciation despite the difference in spelling. Additionally, Hs are proniunced in Roman reconstructed Latin, but not in Ecclesiastical.
Ioannes Martinus thank you very much, this is very helpful! 👍
@@ioannium optime et bene dicisti
@@ioannium I'm over here pronouncing it like the German "ch" . . . splitting the difference I suppose, but that's I believe the Anglican custom.
@@JourneymanAlto Interesting. I'm very much in the Anglican tradition (though this was recorded during a stint working with the Catholics), but I've never come across that particular bit!
Is Journey the actually name of the 2nd song?
It's what I heard in the calls to reset in several of the clips I used for transcribing, so probably?
Beautiful. May I ask what mic you use? X
I've got some nice stuff in the mic locker, but this was a simple and relatively cheap large diaphragm condenser from 3U from the Warbler line (it's a mic tech in either Oz or New Zealand, I forget which, that uses cheap Chinese housings with custom-designed guts to replicate much more expensive vintage mics). I think the mic was $299.
Wonderful - well done 👍🏻
