I just love this Handel’s piece ,when i am drinking it moves me to tears .Of course i am not sure whether it’s the whiskey or the music,nevertheless its beautiful .
Acoustics can cause delay, like tannoys arranged around a football field such as the delay when American anthem sang at football games. We used red curtains in one of my choirs that slid on rails so the stone walls would echo as the curtains absorbed excess volume. Choirs can be very powerful :-y
What an exquisite piece... A question: where is that? What calls my atention is the fact that it looks like a catholic church (maybe in Scotland) instead of a protestant one where we could more commonly expect to hear the coronation anthem.
Hi, the church description from their website: "St. Andrew the Apostle Church was the first Catholic parish in Calumet City, Illinois which was named Sobieski Park by the early Polish residents. Although the town was later called West Hammond, it was incorporated as Calumet City on August 1, 1911."
@@johnmangels5572 Lol 😆. I perfectly know what it is. The issue here is that it is originally a protestant song and it is quite rare to have it played in a Catholic institution. That was my point. I'm not saying this is a coronation 😅
In all fairness, the choir is all volunteer and average age in the 50-60 range. The time I was allowed to set up audio and video was less than an hour, while the choir was setting up chairs and pre concert practicing 😊
N'y-a-t-il pas 3 fois plus de choristes que de musiciens ? N'y-a-t-il pas 3 fois moins de micros dans l'orchestre que dans la chorale ? Manque de rythme, d'élan, de cohésion... manque de rois à couronner en Écosse quoi ! 🤭
As far as microphones, I had 4 covering the orchestra. One covering the keyboards. One spot mic for any soloists. One stereo pair to cover the performance. As far as rhythm, this a local group of volunteers that most are seniors and very few are studied vocalists. As far as any room issues, this church is massive and not soundproofed in any way. Reverb with Gregorian chants is magical. With anything the size of this performance has many issues. It’s just the physics of sound. One final note. To properly record an ensemble of this size within this church, one would need more than one hour to properly set up, however within that hour I had access to, I was also dealing with the ensemble setting up the chairs and rehearsal pre performance. In addition to the audio setup, I also had to set up two cameras for the video. I could not come earlier as there was a mass beforehand and everything had to be ready for the concert within one hour. “The show must go on” Finally, this was just one selection from the concert that lasted around 90 minutes. The most important part was that the music director/conductor, choir, orchestra and the audience were pleased with it all.
Spectacular! RIP Our Late Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth II. This will be sung at Charles' Coronation next year.
Was thinking the same thing. So beautiful!

Probably both and this is beautiful
That harpsichord is why this doesn’t have millions of views
It isn't the best version, for sure🌷.
God save the king.
Breathtaking

This is a concert not a coronation.

Chai!!! No one to explain what happened to the Harpsichordist. So sad
1:50
Are two orchestras playing without coordination? 🙄
Not a bad effort. Vocals drowning out orchestra, and timings a bit 'off'.
Dear oh dear. Nuance or time doesn’t happen does it? Just loud. The Riga Cathedral recording shows how it’s done. Good effort though

Very poor tempo
Whoever is playing that harpsichord really does not know anything about tempo.. sigh
Not together
This is the dislike button
