Magnificent performance!!

Oooft! Only found out about this song in recent years. Absolutely magical performance! 🎵🎶🎵

Brilliant arrangement!!

Sublime. Thank you for this.

I wonder if Eric Whitacre got some inspiration from Howells. I've noticed some similarities between this and some of Eric's work.

Magnificent. It's like a memory of Christmas, trapped in ice. Mystical, impeccably sung, perfectly arranged. Absolutely wonderful.

Hermosamente celestial!!!

What happened to the soprano in the end she was flat . Is that on purpose

Jag vet inte vad de sjunger det värkar som de vara harmoniserar men på slutet va det lite falskt lol

❤❤

First listened to this in 2013 in Hereford sixth form and it’s still one of my favourite choral pieces. The harmonies are so beautiful they create such emotion. Love it! 😁

Beautiful song. So happy for this elective class at my school. I thought I've heard all beautiful things already

Amazing Final Cadence

unbelievable. speechless

Très belle interprétation, bien équilibrée, de ce chef-d'œuvre incomparable de Josquin.

This is music which enters your soul. It bridges the past, present and what is to come. The sublime harmonies are a foretaste of what awaits above. Magnificent.

この曲を聴くと西陽が想像される。理由はよくわからない。

Fabulous.

One of the best interpretations of this arrangement by the swede Jan Sandström, if not the best? If the choirs pronounciation of this swedish text isn´t perfect has less importance, we all know the lyrics. Such a harmony and beautiful sound among these singers! Och God Jul! som vi säger på svenska.

Glorious!

The composer is - still alive. But very impressive though!

I have just listened to this at varying speeds on the computer and I have got to give them a grade of an A+! Well done, everyone!

Can do without the vibrato people!

Fantastic!

please help me, I really would like to know what exact technique the tenors use to hit their highest notes. is it falsetto or mix/head voice or belted chest voice, I am trying to learn it and cant seem to get it correct especially those lines with Ab and G

3:11-3:40

Thanks for this, most apt I hear it today with sublime singing it's most moving and gives much comfort.God bless

Heavenly! Bravo!

Madre mía, este Bird es un prodigio. Qué cosa más bonita!

Love the conductor - fine work, understated. You contribute so much to this beautiful sound!

Gorgeous performance of an amazing piece! I've known this piece for a long time and always thought the dissonance and crazy shifts of harmony suited this text. I'm glad to see you have the updated, correct year of his birth. That's only a recent discovery.

Bravi 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼♥️

Simply stunning, by far the most beautiful performance on CZcams and love the cantor C# on the “a” of bar 2 and throughout, sounds so much lovelier than dropping a 3rd to the C! Can’t find a score with the C# though, did you just amend the score, or is this version out there somewhere!?

Where can I find the music to this

I like this arrangement!

Wonderful performance. Can you tell me how you arranged the mics to "see" everyone around the circle? Thanks a lot.

Are you all even remotely aware of how amazing and beautiful this is? Just….bravo.

Sublimely sensitive !

Still the best thing on the Internet by a mile.

Are you guys still around?

🙏❤️

So beautiful! So many chills!

This performance stopped me in my tracks. Byrd's great lament always reduces me to tears but I thought this quite exceptional with just the right balance of tonal purity and emotional power. Evidence if er needed of of Byrd's technical mastery. Surely the greatest composer of his age,

How beautiful is that. Some argue that Palestrina is boring but they obviously haven't heard this. Exquisite.

Is your cousin Irish? She sings like an Irish lass crossed with an angel. Delightful!

Ich hörte dieses Stück bei einem Weihnachtskonzert im Stift Melk vom Chor Ad Libitum. Es war als ob die Engel begonnen hätten zu singen - unglaublich! Ein Hineinhören in eine andere, schöne Welt...

Simply gorgeous.

Completely unreal performance! Wiping tears and applauding vigorously!

Just amazing

Words all seem correct to the text given in the comment, except the very last word is "fold" as in v. 2, as i recall (plus it rhymes!). I wonder why Blunt says "they" in v3? Shouldn't it be "we"? Even to the point of E. A. Robinson's anguished question in "Calvary"?
