Author: Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (1525-1594) performed by Ensemble D.E.U.M. (Dany, Ezio, Umba, Martie) members of "Coro Thomas Tallis di Arduino Pertile"
Wow! The alto stands out well enough that I can finally hear that part not overwhelmed by sopranos. As an alto who can use all the help she can get, I found this a treasure. I have been able to sing along with her while still hearing the other parts. It is a lovely, lovely rendition of this beautiful piece. For all of those whose comments focused on the visuals and found body attitude, etc. of the singers, I have two pieces of advice.: 1. Scroll down so that you don't have to view the video and just listen. The performance of this piece of music is so beautiful. All sections are evenly balanced. And the audio is what is important. 2. Take a reality check. This was filmed at a rehearsal! Yes, the alto has her hands in her thumbs in her pockets and sways a bit. Yes, the soprano looks like she is wearing a nightgown. Yes, the tenor is wearing jeans. It is only a rehearsal. Such uppity comments show a lack of common sense and seem rather like those a Pharisee might make.
As a member of the Cambridge Singers, you four guys did an awesome job!! We sang this more times but it kept getting better and better!!! Thank you for singing this! This was just beautiful!!
Of all the performances of Sicut Cervus posted online, especially of the tempo and the blending of SATB, this is my favorite. I am a tenor and sing this for our choir. I have improved my part from listening to your beautiful singing! You guys are AWESOME!
Splendida esecuzione che nulla ha da invidiare ad un organico più numeroso. Ottima la sonorità, giusto il ritmo. Splendido, struggente pezzo, particolarmente evocativo e, per me, carico di memorie. Grazie.
I sent the link to this video to all of the members of the choir in which I sing. Many replied that they found it quite lovely. And guess what we performed this piece better last night than we had in long time. We all helped that listening to it helped us.
Per essere cantato da solisti mostra una fluidità di fraseggio e una impeccabilità nei fiati che lascia senza fiato. Complimenti sinceri. Quanto al vestiario ho l'impressione che non sia stato sentito come un elemento fondamentale del video.
Wow !!! Excellent balance beetwen each parts !! I love Tenor voice. Actually, I downloaded this video, save it to my phone, and sing bass part while in traffic jam or in highway. (Donny from Bintaro, Indonesia)
I first heard this piece performed by a schola of approximately a dozen women, and while it was very lovely, there is much to be said for having a smaller group perform it, to bring out its many subleties. A very sublime performance -- thank you!
Wowwzers...I'm actually student conducting this piece for the Linn-Benton Community College in Albany, Oregon this term. It's my favorite Latin sacred piece of all time. I remember when I first sang it as a freshman in high school. It changed my life. Thank you so much for sharing, it was a blessing. :)
Me encantan como se mueven, en clase de coro nos piden que no nos movamos, pero es tan imposible cantar sin moverse. es que la música hace bailar al Alma
I am in England UK, and have gone back to my roots of 60 yrs ago,as a young musician, & now writing some original short Chorale's in the medieval style & J.S.Bach. I think they are quite beautiful,..I am also, immensely impressed with your abilities, your sound & your performance. Would you like to please try one of mine ? ,Kind R'grds..
The I.C. Thank you for your hunorus response. I WANT TO JOIN! But I live in Japan. If you forgive me to join you,it must take a little money and time:) I heard your Matona mia cara. That is our guraduate song that we quit our Univ. Choir. Matona mia cara is so lovely! May the Lord be blessd your music, I pray for you ,from Japan.Love in Jesus.
Cantare Palestrina con la maglietta "rock'n'roll" non ha prezzo! Grande contralto, bellissima! Molto bravi! Cantare brani rinascimentali in coro pieno è bellissimo ed emozionante, ma in ensamble ristretto è qualcosa di indescrivibile!
Great; Umba... another song I use to song and I love it. But, do not forget; you owe me the british madrigal "Farewell, Dear Love" Greettings to all of you: Dany, Ezio, Umba and Marti.
Thank you so much! I know it seems like a little thing, but it means soo much to me that you guys did the song after my request. All of your voices are amazing and things like this, the way youtube and technology let people from around the world interact and enjoy each others talent, is what makes life truly a wonderful gift. Thanks again and keep up the excellent work. You just made a young man from Southern California's day/week/year :)
It is actually not that hard a score. The notes are not hard to sing or read, but it is really beautifully written. What i noted in this video however is that their voices are very different from one another. It makes the pieces almost avant-garde like at times. It's very interesting sung.
I'm also choir enthusiast.. But since working at Jakarta, I can't join any choir yet.. Too bad.. I would love to practice this song with fellow choir.. Nice to meet you here, Donny.. [Linda from Sudirman, Indonesia]
There were some spots where I questioned your vowel shaping. Also there were times when you had trouble staying in pitch (you tended to fall just flat). I am I my schools chamber choir and we sang this song at the beginning of the year, we were chosen as the best choir in the state of Minnesota and will be singing at the Minnesota Music Educators Association convention in February. Feel free to check us out!
Ragazzi.... per essere in 4 avete fatto una performance strepitosa ! l'intensità del suono è veramente bella. siccome sono un basso ritengo che il migliore di voi sia stao il basso (solidarietà di categoria....); ah ah ah dài scherzo siete bravi tutti e 4 !!
:) chissà cosa ne penserebbe il buon vecchio Pierluigi! Per il resto, assolutamente d'accordo. L'esperienza in ensemble è unica e permette una grande crescita personale a livello vocale. Grazie per il tuo commento molto carino...
This is a nice rendition. A couple spots were just a tiny bit off, but honestly I think that's wonderful. It shows you are human. Palestrina would love this.
@Ely76 esistono infinite esecuzioni di questo meraviglioso canto... si va da un tempo lentissimo ad uno molto veloce... noi abbiamo scelto di eseguirlo in un tempo largo perché ci sembrava che tutto il canto acquistasse maggior respiro... ovviamente è una nostra interpretazione e come tale può piacere o meno... in realtà nessuno di noi sa come lo avesse pensato Palestrina ;)
you pls help me I'm soprano, I want to know its part because our periodical in choir is to know the the song very well. I'm really confuse about the notes. thank you for reading ^_^
It’s a beautiful piece and looking at the comments you’ve touched a lot of people - but I’m afraid not me. The tuning is all over the place and I found it difficult to listen through to the end. Sorry!
congratulazioni davvero... adoro questa canzone e la loro interpretazione.. :-) solo una domanda tuttavia: chissà come mai il contralto si è vestita come se dovesse andare a pittare mentre il soprano ha indosso il babydoll?
anomaliamedia grazie! Con la nuova formazione l'abbiamo in repertorio. Cercheremo di trovare quanto prima il tempo per registrarlo e postarlo. Stay tuned :)
Oh for Heaven's sake! One of the most beautiful pieces of music EVER written can't be performed by a woman in a t-shirt and jeans? GET A GRIP. Palestrina was writing for everyone.
A LITTLE flat at times. Watch for ends of words so they don't cut of too quickly (cervUS *breath*). I guess you can't really stagger breath with 1 to a part. Otherwise great work on a difficult piece for 4 people at that speed.

I come back to this performance again and again to be refreshed. Thank you.
The Alto sounds lovely. Really beautiful sound.

Si, davvero una sublime esecuzione.
Le voci paiono strumenti musicali.

I would like this rendition presented in a beautiful Cathedral.
Outstanding!!!!
Não entrando nada de músicas polifônicas, mas verdadeiramente sentir com o coração o que essa música revela » Deus «!!
Sang this song in College. Really love singing along to your performance. Thank you deeply.

Your voices amazing best together...i wan listen your voices one again...thankyou

We're singing it this Sunday at First Pres in Corvallis. How did your performance go? Well, I hope!
Et ils sont juste quatre !.... J'aime beaucoup ce quatuor, tous leurs chants sont empreints de sensibilité, de belles énergies, et d'équilibre...
Me encantan como se mueven, en clase de coro nos piden que no nos movamos, pero es tan imposible cantar sin moverse. es que la música hace bailar al Alma
Fantastic. Stunning. Most grateful. Thank you so much.

ah ah ah :) wonderful!!!
Such beautiful balance and blending!
A great job. Thanks for post this beautiful performance
Cantare Palestrina con la maglietta "rock'n'roll" non ha prezzo! Grande contralto, bellissima!
Molto bravi! Cantare brani rinascimentali in coro pieno è bellissimo ed emozionante, ma in ensamble ristretto è qualcosa di indescrivibile!
I have to sing this for my highschools all state auditions, and this really helped me to hear my part better! Thanks so much
Great; Umba... another song I use to song and I love it.
But, do not forget; you owe me the british madrigal "Farewell, Dear Love"
Greettings to all of you: Dany, Ezio, Umba and Marti.
The bass is my favorite, I'll be singing it for rehearsals soon.
Impressive air support! I have my choir stagger breathe in order to sing the full phrases, but you are all doing them on your own. Bravo!
Thank you so much! I know it seems like a little thing, but it means soo much to me that you guys did the song after my request. All of your voices are amazing and things like this, the way youtube and technology let people from around the world interact and enjoy each others talent, is what makes life truly a wonderful gift. Thanks again and keep up the excellent work. You just made a young man from Southern California's day/week/year :)
Bravo! I've sung this but never with just four voices: you all are terrific! Auguri!
This is great. Your voices are amazing, please, keep the music on! ❤️
Your best yet. Sensational singing, and the sound quality is wonderful. thank you so much!
That soprano has major power behind her voice, and has a very beautiful voice
Breathtaking...such lovely voices, blended perfectly.
It i so beautiful.... Congratulations.
i think so
Parabéns aos músicos cantores!! Muitíssimo afinado!
Awesome!!!
It gives me the creeps all the time - great!
The bass is so dense! Wow! :D
the bass killed it
Beautiful! You make this piece look easy to sing ; ) (Oh and the t-shirt is a trip! Ha ha!)
It's been 22 years since I sang this in Conservatory. I do so love this piece
WOW!!! this is such a hard one to do with 4 people as well :D
It is actually not that hard a score. The notes are not hard to sing or read, but it is really beautifully written. What i noted in this video however is that their voices are very different from one another. It makes the pieces almost avant-garde like at times. It's very interesting sung.
interpretazione eccezionale! Veramente bravi!
troppo bravi,complimenti...anke a Palestrina:)
maurizio pizzol soprattutto a lui :)

Molto, molto bello! Bravi davvero
Excellent!
We're singing this in Powell Wyoming tomorrow!
agreed. They absolutely rocked this song and with so few voices
I think I counted five people on this video :)) All the best from the bottom of my heart!
Once again, you folks sound like angels...
I'm also choir enthusiast.. But since working at Jakarta, I can't join any choir yet.. Too bad.. I would love to practice this song with fellow choir.. Nice to meet you here, Donny.. [Linda from Sudirman, Indonesia]
Wunderschön!
Very very good!!!
Quite a good recording. Well done!

And your pitch, tuning and balance are excellent :)
Well sung.

Palestrina is always good! Bravo!

I just love this. It is so beautiful :)

La afinación es muy importante.
This song rocks!
Excellent from Indonesia🔥
Keep still!

Unda mam mi oy bate pame isog pame
Bravi, bravissimi!!!!! A me piace questa velocità per il Sicur Cervus, lo trovo più "fluviale" in questa maniera. Grazie!
... thank you ;))
Thankyou for such a beautiful performance. Where does this choir originate?
Lindo!
@SignoPiper ah ah... grazie!
I just love your videos! Could you guys do Scandello's Bonzorno Madonna? Love from the United States.
you pls help me
I'm soprano, I want to know its part because our periodical in choir is to know the the song very well. I'm really confuse about the notes.
thank you for reading ^_^
It’s a beautiful piece and looking at the comments you’ve touched a lot of people - but I’m afraid not me. The tuning is all over the place and I found it difficult to listen through to the end. Sorry!
@Obknoxious2000
You're welcome! Your next request? ;)
congratulazioni davvero... adoro questa canzone e la loro interpretazione.. :-) solo una domanda tuttavia: chissà come mai il contralto si è vestita come se dovesse andare a pittare mentre il soprano ha indosso il babydoll?
grazie ;)
@reinpost could you send us the score?
Bravi, bravi, bravi. Mi piacerebbe ascoltare la vostra interpretazione anche del super flumina babylonis. È in programma?
Grazie, continuate così.
anomaliamedia grazie! Con la nuova formazione l'abbiamo in repertorio. Cercheremo di trovare quanto prima il tempo per registrarlo e postarlo. Stay tuned :)
I'm only 11 and we are singing this in my middle school chorus. I love this song it is beautiful! Can you please sing "In Paradisum" ?
You're only 11?
Yes.
OK, just checking. See ya.
Oh for Heaven's sake! One of the most beautiful pieces of music EVER written can't be performed by a woman in a t-shirt and jeans? GET A GRIP. Palestrina was writing for everyone.
@alitra78 mmmm... it's seems you are right!!! Benedetta is the fifth one ;)
One of Stanford's motets, strongly influenced by Brahms - Beati quorum via.
A LITTLE flat at times. Watch for ends of words so they don't cut of too quickly (cervUS *breath*). I guess you can't really stagger breath with 1 to a part. Otherwise great work on a difficult piece for 4 people at that speed.
