- In praise of the European Day of Early Music and celebrating the commencement of our joint education project ‘Roots’, VOCES8 presents 'Sing Joyfully', a celebration of the joy and beauty of voices in harmony. Watch the event on Facebook Live, streamed on Tuesday 19 March at 7pm from the beautiful chapel in Trinity College, Cambridge.
“Joy and woe are woven fine” in a programme including Byrd, Tallis, Victoria, Britten and Dove, with Monteverdi’s dramatic rendering of La Sestina at its centre-point. The programme includes a short presentation by students from our project ‘Roots’.
Roots partners Cambridge Early Music, VCM Foundation/VOCES8, Faculty of Music, University of Cambridge, Cambridgeshire Music, Anglia Ruskin University and The Brook Street Band are very grateful for the kind support of the Helen Hamlyn Trust and HERA - Humanities in the European Research Area.

Voces 8 is a rare treat no matter what they present. What extraordinary quality in phrasing, intonation, tonal beauty. They blow me away!
Andrea Haines is a quiet force of nature - and this is a glorious ensemble. Thank you, Voces 8, Master Tallis - and God!
Just goes to prove this group just doesn't "record" well....they are just as perfect live. Any choir should observe how this group LISTENS to each other and balances his or her voice within the piece of music. This is true musicianship at it's finest.
The idea of recording well is silly. Professionals should be equally good, whether they have extra takes or not.

That's not what Kevin means by "recording well." He's talking about the audio equivalent of being photogenic. As with people's faces on film or video, some people's voices are flattered by sound recording, and others' aren't flattered at all (rather the contrary).
For what it's worth, I think VOCES8 usually sounds just fine on recording, but I haven't heard them live so I can't compare.
how can you say "any choir should do" ? do you know how professionals choirs work ? with what you say I can see that you don't, cause this is exactly what we do in choir, but it's not really the same work as with 30 singers it's often hard that the last right singer can hear the last left ... choir and 8 singers is clearly not the same, and if you were knowing your subject you won't say that =) so plz don't write something like that without knowing what you are talking about =)
Sterne Thaox Don’t be so defensive lol. Most of us get the point that Voces8 is a fantastic example to follow in more than one way.
@@sternethaox8637 Shut up and stop being so condescending. If you know what you're talking about and someone else doesn't, don't be demeaning. HELP them. You are not showing good musicianship here.
This is perfect. When the soprano's sing like the boys of Westminister or Oxford There's nothing left to complain...
Heavenly singing VOCES8. ❤. By singing you ease my pain when the medicines don't work anymore. Thank you so much ❤.
Superbly gifted young people with encyclopedic knowledge of music and the talent to perform it flawlessly. I was fortunate enough to hear collaborators of theirs, the Gisauldo Six, a year prior to the first lockdown and have only heard Voces 8 on cd and youtube. That doesn't detract from the feeling I've experienced a tiny glimpse of heaven. We're very lucky to have such talent in the uk.
I sang in the University Choir many years ago…this superb interpretations make me remind of the beauty we lived doing it !
Thank you VOICES8
Watching and listening, while I sew and bag social distancing face masks for Food Bank and Salvation Army in Lander, Wyoming-on CoronaVirus Lockdown. Thank you! Be well, everyone.😷💞🌟
Melanie, you are a Saint, and getting a lot of blessed energy from these amazing singers.
Good work!
Their performance is musically intimate so I recommend seeing them live in a smallish venue. This is perfect!
I need a standing ovation emoji and a Grammy emoji!
Carolyn; what a splendid idea! Somebody should take that up!
What a wonderful concert. It’s great to hear new choral music as well as old. Voces8 are superlative musicians but what astounds me is that no one voice ever seems to dominate They really listen to each other and the whole sound takes precedence over any one contribution. Great team work! It must be so hard to achieve this and I imagine they rehearse long long hours. I love the Monteverdi madrigals especially in this intimate environment.i am enjoying this confined at home in France during the Covid epidemic. Wouldn’t normally find the time....
love ALL of it - they are second to none! Heard them on a visit in England before they were so well known and we immediately knew that they had a stellar way ahead of them. I'm in love with their singing.
Celestial! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for sharing 😇
Beautiful.thank you so much.❤
Brilliant and breathtaking! A joy to listen to and lift our spirits at this lockdown time. Thank you.
Clean as always. I love to hear them. ♥ ️🎼🎵🎶
Arcydzieła w wykonaniu z najwyższej półki.
What a way to start the day - “Sing Joyfully” - bright and energetic.
What a generous sharing!👍
Unbelievable! My heart!!!
You are the best! Congratulations from Spain!
Thank you
Bravi tutti!
The best music for a peaceful sunday morning. Thank you for letting us participate.
Marvelous8 You have done it again.
Exquisite singing - you convey the emotionality of the individual pieces. I hear both the whole and each voice - wonderful balance. Thank you for reminding us of the transcendental.
Beautiful music! Thank you Voces8. Hope to meet you soon. Love from Philippines ❤️
The entire concert was fantastic, but I hope the Cambridge audience appreciated the rare privilege of hearing a live performance of the Monteverdi Sistina Madrigals, especially such an exquisite performance!
Fantastic Monteverdi!
I am in the usual state of awe induced listening to your exquisite and perfect work.
Beautiful and sadly rare nowadays. Greetings from Buenos Aires, my support and congratulations for you all..
Outstanding!
Thanks
I’m a real fan of your interpretation of choir music.
Thank you 🙏 so much for uploading to CZcams !
Wow! Großartig!
Extraordinary musicianship. Quite breathtaking.
Somebody was complaining about the lousy acoustics in another YT video live performance these folks did, I should point them here. The reverb and "liveness" here is spectacular. ;-)
Bravissimo!
BRAVO! For me Lagrime D’Amante al Sepolcro Dell’Amata are heavenly, well done!
Ein wunderschönes Zusammenfügen der einzelnen Stimmen und Phrasierungen mit ganz wenigen emphatischen Aufwärts-Glissandos, wozu diese Musik und die Kathedrale ein wenig verleiten.
Top class 🏴
lovely during study hihi
❤❤❤
thnks your vox ,r Incrieible
I'm so glad to see a full performance because I was sick in March and missed your show in Washington. Simply wonderful as always!
34:52 Bravo!!!!
Sublime. I’m definitely watching you guys in your next concert here in London!!!
Lucky to live in London and have opportunities like this frequently.
bles..be👍
Blow the trumpet, in the nude! Thanks to my college music history professor that's all I'll ever hear 😂
Fantastic! Any prediction to come to Portugal some day?
Is there any Nobel Prize for music interpretation amd mass education ?
It’s remarkable that the Trinity College Choir sings this well, IN THIS VERY VENUE, three times a week for services during term. I just now compared their two renditions of “O Nata Lux” and I think that I prefer the Choir’s version. And they take on the newer/more difficult repertoire also.
Thanks for sharing! Are you guys using any loudspeaker amplification when performing (please tell me you’re not) or why is everyone having a small microphone?
So we can listen on CZcams.
no, not possible, not sold out, what a shame to you, Cambridge
Oh I've just missed that :'( , when should you come back in Cambridge?
Gorgeous, gorgeous music making in every way!!! : ) (...though I could have done without all of the cutesy comments in between.)
I was wondering when you are Coming to my city of Joliet IL I Love if you Came to my city thak You
Exquisite indeed. How do these gifted people maintain pitch throughout?
Some of them probably have perfect pitch, and the others tune to them. This happens quite naturally after singing in small choirs for a while with a high level of musicianship. Voces8 is fabulous!
I hope to hear them live some day. San Francisco in the future?
I like to think the tenor with a beard has something going on with the tall soprano. Not so sure with the suit he has on in this one. I love you Voces8. Very great full I can here you from far away.
@ 15:06 are they using tablets instead of sheet music? Very nice!
Why do listeners seems compelled to point out minor ‘mistakes’ (if indeed they are)? These listeners don’t seem too sure themselves. I can’t help but think that (a) they want all other listeners to know how learned they are in music, as if anyone really cares, or (b) they must have a touch of OCD. , which I sincerely hope is not the case. I find it so distracting and condescending. Just enjoy and stop being picky. C. Waugh
Dissonance by mistake at 36:06?
Not watching your recording again. So many Advertisements in between , it is DISGUSTING!
Get CZcams Premium for less per month than it costs to go to the movies and skip all the ads! Do yourself a favor!
lose the Crucifix and you have a winner.
Pulchra es latine
I don’t think it was meant to be such dissonance at 6:53. I think guys screwed up who were supposed to go major instead of minor. No disrespect meant. Am I mistaken?
Ein Querstand?
You are mistaken. As planned.
Ken Getz There are lots of such dissonant harmonies when they sing for example “sleep” by Eric Whitaker. Those are beautiful. I grew up in professional musician family, sang in the choir,
And I sang and recorded solos. This 6:53-6:56 dissonance is not sounding good at all. If this was written in music notes it was not executed properly. It was not supposed to sound this bad. Just humble observation and opinion. No offense or disrespect intended. These guys are at the top of the game. But no one is perfect.
The dissonance is meant to be there, look up English cadence on wikipedia.
Right. That’s how Tallis wrote.
Claudio Monteverdi did not like so much
sorry, have to say it: Barnaby, I love you and your voice and your commitment and knowledge of the music you perform. Your voice is amazing. BUT can you please stand still in performance? Look to your fellow performers for guidance. There is certainly expressivity, as there should be, but your movements and facial expressions bordering on mugging at times are, frankly, distracting...
Some miserable sod didn't like it?
Exquisite. From Canada.
