They sing a song from a religion I don't follow in a language I can't understand yet they bring me to tears. This is the magic of great art. Thank you, Marco and Floor.
@@ewawiman9007: Floor sings in Dutch(her native language), English, Finnish, German and Latin that I've heard, there may be more. More importantly she sings with joy and a voice that's extraordinarily beautiful. Marko is a match on this. Watching this duet and Nightwish are Musical Heaven. They always enjoy themselves and it radiates outward. I hope you're safe and well.
We all know that she's a goddess, but my god that man's voice is just sublime, how can he possibly go from those powerful rasps to something so delicate. Incredible.
@@alanfrost75 I was kind of iffy about it when I heard him sing "Ave Maria" for the first time. But gradually I've come to really like it a lot. Perhaps it's just the initial shock of how different he sounds here.
Some words about the Finnish in this clip In the beginning Marko ask the audience for lighters etc to create a starry night The finnish lyrics by Vexi Salmi in the first verse: Äiti maan lapsien Taas meihin katsoo suojellen Kun poikas syntymäpäivä on Mä pieni ihminen turvaton Pyydän siunauksen Anna harras mieli joulu puhtain tuo Ja hengelläs meitä suojaa Näin muistaen kaiken luojaa Johda meistä jokainen poikas luo Free translation by me Mother of the children of earth again looks protecting upon us when it is the birthday of your child I, a small unsecure human ask for blessing Let Christmas bring a pure, humble mind and protect us with your spirit thus remembering the the creator of everything Lead each of us to your son Greetings from Finland
Kiitos, kiitos, kiitos!! I love Finnish language and wish I could understand what he says at the beginning. Your translation is a huge relief, as i can't take the time to dive into this so challenging Finnish right now. Greetings from Brazil!
I wish I could have had the fortune of seeing this live. I would have bawled my eyes out. I love Nightwish so much. These two are Timeless. Nothing would make me happier than to see Marko back with Nightwish. I hope he is doing well ❤
We played this last week (including video) during the funeralservice of my sister. We planned to go to the concert in the Netherlands with her, but due to COVID the concert was postponed. Thanks for this beautiful version of the Ave Maria!!!!
I knew Floor was a vocal goddess, but I didn't realize that Marco could sing so incredibly soft and well. I've only really listened to him in Nightwish. My respect for him has gone through the roof (and I've always loved him in Nightwish).
zo mooi Floor zingt echt alles, van klassiek, theater tot super modern..met een stem waar niemand tegen op kan/so beautiful Floor really sings everything, from classical, theater to super modern .. with a voice that nobody can beat
when I was born, my dad had just just returned from WWII. Mom and Dad had a small record player and they had only two records. They were, as I remember, made from something like really thick clay, and recorded on only one side. Ave Maria was one of the songs they played for me, from the day I was born. I think that may be one of the reasons, if not THE reason I love classical music, and opera. Also, coming of age in the 60's and 70's AND being a hard rock and metal fan, these guys satisfy every dimension of music I love. I am so thankful I discovered Nightwish way back in the Tarja years, and been a fan ever since. And I am so thankful we have a venue like CZcams to find, listen and discover so much more music, now that we are fighting t his global virus. Peace, strength and unity to everyone, everywhere, and look forward to the cure, and the vaccine.
Wonderful story and I am glad you shared it and I too am looking forward to a vaccine. I think we will triumph in the end. Peace and Love from the USA. :-) Those old records were made from a substance called "Shellac" which is a substance obtained from some bug. It was used up until vinyl came around.
Goosebumbs.. Floor's voice is magical as ever, but the little rough/sweet(?) voice of Marko makes it a bridge between classical and modern music. Do not condemn music of a period.. Embrase every good song of all ages..
The range in metal music goes far beyond what mainstream puts out . I know Christina Aguilera as a wide vocal range, but she is trapped in the pop music sphere. I believe that Kate Bush has an eight octave range. It seems the best singers are the most underrated
Hi, I live in Italy just over 100 km from the area most affected by the virus, I thank you for the solidarity you express to us and in Europe, thank you very much, I am / we are grateful. Mario, Luino VA (search for my city on Google Earth).
Love from the UK 🇬🇧 I hope you all begin to heal from this terrible catastrophe. Despite brexit and all that nonsense, you are our European neighbours and we love you so much. Take care
such a strong and powerful vibe and this such intimate setting soo cool when Markco and Floor harmonizing wow such a very awesome thing to hear and witness
I'm not religious in any way, but this song no matter who's singing it (even when not sang in English) always brings a tear to my eyes and when it's Marco and Floor singing it 😭😭😭😭😭 forget about it.
... und genau so bekommt man ein Stadion voll mit Metal-Fans dazu, zu einem religiösen Weihnachtslied von Franz Schubert zu jubeln... :) Danke Floor, Danke Marco! Frohe Weihnachten!
Never ever ever had I expected Marko to have such a beautiful voice for this number. Great rendition! And Floor... angelic as ever... and together... Stunning!
I as well as many others never thought of Marko and Floor with this type of music. Their talents are much greater than I had thought. It would be interesting if they followed this up with Romanticide.
Lol! I think you're a little off of the path, my friend: this is not a Nightwish gig, it's a Finnish Xmas show where metal singers from all the country are guest stars performing traditional Xmas song.😉 No Romanticide (or Weak Fantasy) after this one!😅😅😅
I didn't know Marko could sing like that, and I've been a Nightwish fan since 2004. Awesome. One of the best Christmas songs. Edit: once Floor started... Jesus. Amazing.
Ave Maria! Maiden mild! Oh, listen to a maiden's prayer For thou canst hear amid the wild 'Tis thou, 'tis thou canst save amid, despair. We slumber safely 'til the morrow Though we've by man outcast reviled Oh, maiden, see a maiden's sorrow Oh, Mother, hear a suppliant child! Ave Maria Ave Maria, gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Ave, ave dominus Dominus tecum The murky cavern's air so heavy Shall breathe of balm if thou hast smiled Oh, maiden, hear a maiden pleadin' Oh, Mother, hear a suppliant child Ave Maria Ave Maria
First I listened to Ever Dream and now this one. Can any other rock band do that? Floor is definitly the best replacement ever, concidering Tarja Turunen was an original genious.
Ave Maria Gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Maria, gratia plena Ave, ave dominus Dominus tecum Benedicta tu in mulieribus Et benedictus Et benedictus fructus ventris Ventris tuae, Jesus. Ave Maria Ave Maria Mater Dei Ora pro nobis peccatoribus Ora pro nobis Ora, ora pro nobis peccatoribus Nunc et in hora mortis Et in hora mortis nostrae Et in hora mortis nostrae Et in hora mortis nostrae Ave Maria
Ave maria äiti maan lapsien Taas meihin katsoo suojellen Kun poika syntymäpäivä on Mä pieni ihminen turvaton Pyydän siunauksen Anna harras mieli joulu puhtain tuo Ja hengelläs meitä suojaa Näin muistaen kaiken luojaa Johda meistä jokainen poikas luo Ave maria äiti maan lapsien Taas meihin katsoo suojellen Kun poika syntymäpäivä on Mä pieni ihminen turvaton Pyydän siunauksen Anna harras mieli joulu puhtain tuo Ja hengelläs meitä suojaa Näin muistaen kaiken luojaa Johda meistä jokainen poikas luo

Actually they sing in at least three languages, Finnish, Italian /Latin and English.
catholicism

@@Johnboy33545 that's sweet man. Stay safe too 🥺
I could listen to them sing a grocery list...
Too bad Marko quits nightwish and public life. But with respect to his decision.
Aaaaaavena - Hariiiiiiiiiina
(means oatmeal and flour)
@@anibaldk ohmygahd
I chuckled
And it would still be a masterpiece. Respect to Marko... Lo, there do I see my father. Lo, there do I see my mother, and my sisters, and my brothers.
Stunning beautiful amazing Though what else would we expect from these guys lol
We all know that she's a goddess, but my god that man's voice is just sublime, how can he possibly go from those powerful rasps to something so delicate. Incredible.
i feel like his voice doesn't fit here, i skip it tbh, prefer his "metal voice".
Agree, Marko sings thrashy and operatic! Nightwish rules!!
@@marmndc I am with you. I love the guy, but his voice was not at all right here.
@@alanfrost75 I was kind of iffy about it when I heard him sing "Ave Maria" for the first time. But gradually I've come to really like it a lot. Perhaps it's just the initial shock of how different he sounds here.
Some words about the Finnish in this clip
In the beginning Marko ask the audience for lighters etc to create a starry night
The finnish lyrics by Vexi Salmi in the first verse:
Äiti maan lapsien
Taas meihin katsoo suojellen
Kun poikas syntymäpäivä on
Mä pieni ihminen turvaton
Pyydän siunauksen
Anna harras mieli joulu puhtain tuo
Ja hengelläs meitä suojaa
Näin muistaen kaiken luojaa
Johda meistä jokainen poikas luo
Free translation by me
Mother of the children of earth
again looks protecting upon us
when it is the birthday of your child
I, a small unsecure human
ask for blessing
Let Christmas bring a pure, humble mind
and protect us with your spirit
thus remembering the the creator of everything
Lead each of us to your son
Greetings from Finland

Thank you, Matz!
Greetings from Kerala, india
This was my religious grandmother’s favorite song. It brings me to tears even in another language
If this doesn't bring a tear to your eyes then there's something wrong with you.
Look how happy they are!
I wish I could have had the fortune of seeing this live. I would have bawled my eyes out. I love Nightwish so much. These two are Timeless. Nothing would make me happier than to see Marko back with Nightwish. I hope he is doing well ❤
helemaal geweldig,sinds de beste zangers,fan van Floor
Floor & Marko, may they stay connected always through song, & friendship. ❤️

this was so beautiful
Beautiful. No other words necessary. Floor jensen has the voice of a goddess
Oh my...as if you couldn't love Marco"s voice anymore...and Floor...how beautifully done!
zo mooi Floor zingt echt alles, van klassiek, theater tot super modern..met een stem waar niemand tegen op kan/so beautiful Floor really sings everything, from classical, theater to super modern .. with a voice that nobody can beat
Those two could sing the Sesame Street song and it would be magical.👍
Floor and Marko are amazing :)
Casual Carolina Fishing they could sing my phone book & I'd love it!
They could sing a Justin Bieber song an it would sound great!
That would be something ;-)
they could sing the the word lexicon or the alphabet of any language and it would be epic awesomeness.
best duet ever
It is Christmas Eve. I have been sampling dozens of Ave Marias tonight. This was the first version I had to listen to the whole way through.
Their voices are so exquisite together ❤
Lovely together but Floor is unbelievable in this tune
the amount of talent from these two is TOO DAMN HIGH!!!!

Wow.. I'm getting goosebumps right from the start. Amazingly wonderful no mater what ones' beliefs may or may not be..
Em tempos de pandemia, esta oração em forma de música, nas belas vozes de Marko Hietala e Floor Jansen, é uma bênção para todos nós.
Si Luiz es verdad

I love hearing Marko sing, and this was so solemn. Him and Floor together is always a good time.
This is freaking BEAUTIFUL! Metal bands have always mastered genres too! Many are classically trained musicians to begin with
Truth that many don't realize.

@@annettespradlin4945 completely agree Annette
My two favorite voices on one incredible, prayerful song. Thank you for sharing this. (And Nightwish rules!!!)
Oh my goodness, this is bathing in pure sound... Floor , you are amazing!! Thank you for your ethereal voice xxxxx
I would LOVE to hear them sing Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen.
Yes indeed!
That would be awesome nevarmaor
but also valhallelujah from nanowar of steel
My fav Hallelujah until then 😉 is by K.D. Lang - czcams.com/video/tcOQSk_cMO0/video.html

Can’t take Marko leaving pls be a nightmare. Thanks 🙏
Is there anything that band couldn't sing? I don't think so. Very talented. God bless you all 🙏
