Imagine this song back in the day. People with no way to record music and only hearing this after travelling many miles just to hear this. They must have revered these singers as just short of angels. Truly magnificent!
I've also thought about that. Imagine also those who heard Vivaldi for the first time having had little or no experience of such sounds, I envy them.
Yes. Here I am sitting in my home during a snowstorm hearing this on CZcams for my very first time. Happy 2024
Mozart transcribed Miserere Mei, Deus by memory after only hearing it twice. He then sent his manuscript to an English publisher. At the time, private ownership of that piece was banned by the church. His publication forced the church to lift the ban.
Imagine that, though. Only hearing the piece twice, and being able to jot it down perfectly.
Good to see Tenebrae posting again.
I never understand how voices can produce anything as beautifull as done by this choir
One word training. Like the old joke "How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Practice practice practice.
A better word: they are gifted by God with vocal perfection, just as Bruckner was gifted by God to compose. Gifts of all kinds, some used, some ignored, some using their gifts yet never thanking God.
It is always wonderful to hear the results of these gifts come together in works of art.
The hall has a massive influence on resonating
The 49 downvotes are from the demon-possessed.
@@bonniebluelass161 🤣.. If they don't agree with you doesn't mean they are possessed by demon. In fact, it doesn't mean they are evil. They may have a diffrent pespective than you do. By the way, I can't stop listening to them. It's ineffable.
This is the most beautiful singing I have ever heard.
In 1982, my university choir stood in the spot at St. Florian where Bruckner first directed his choir in this work. We then went into the catacombs below the monastery and stood around Bruckner's casket, with all the skulls of priests lining the wall and sang it again. I cried as I listened to this for the first time. Blessings to you all.
This is absolutely beautiful. It is moments like the one you shared that stick with us our entire lifetime. May God bless you.
Wow that is such a beautiful & moving experience! I envy you 💚
I haven’t been able to shake this comment since I read it a month or so ago. I just imagine this being completely transformative on a soul. You walk out of the catacomb a different person than you entered.
Josephine's voice is so distinctive, i can recognize it immediately
Totally agree with you. She has a unique voice.
Inigualable!!!... y muy hermoza por cierto
Josephine is the one who is hitting the highest notes, right?
@@geniegbShe and probably two others. There are six sopranos divided between two parts at those points.
Finally Josephine Stephenson is back.
Yes, we love her.
so that’s what her name is!
@@bilal4366 ya welcome.
Is she the one who hits the incredible high notes
I have been a Bruckner enthusiast for more than 15 years and still can hardly believe that the gigantic symphonies and these precious motets were composed by one and the same person. I love both worlds of Bruckner :-)
The interpretation of the Tenebrae Choir is perfect as ever!
Perfectly agree, thanka for sharing your thoughts.
It's true. Wonderful interpretation.
These motets are also "gigantic" and the Sinfonien are also "precious". Bruckner's is the greatest gift of God, as Celibidache said.
Not a Bruckner fan, but when I heard this motet, I thought immediately about some symphonies moments
Simply love Bruckner, and evidently so did his students! He was adored by them, which says a lot about the warmth and kindness of his character. This has to be an integral part of the beauty of his music!
To all Josephine Stephenson fans: She is also a talented composer!
Going to check out more of her work! I fell in love with her voice after seeing her performance in Miserere Mei Deus.
I really like her works, she writes pieces of beauty.
I know, also in pop music. Check out her works with the singer Elena Tonra (Ex:re)
@@azurepancake I'm in love with her voice also
Stop simping.
The Bass in this Choir is outstanding
Yeh, the harmonies are outstanding and counter point is perfectly balanced.
@@schrodingerscat1863 truly enjoying over and over ......
That Buildup to the climax and release with the descending Tenors is just so beautiful and heavenly. Adding in the reverb makes divine like feeling the Holy Spirit.
I was so happy to see the lady who did the AAA part in the miserere mei here❤ I looked for her in almost every Tenebrae video.
Btw such an angelic performance..always love your work Tenebrae...much love❤❤
Yeah me too, what's her name?
Her name is Josephine Stephenson. 😊
@@lucijasinkovec524 She is so wonderful.
She is also the singer on the left here.

@@lucijasinkovec524 Thank you so much!!
I came when I saw Josephine Stephenson in the poster image of the video :) All members of Tenebrae Choir are special.
Greetings from Istanbul/Turkey,
Josephine is defo a draw-card as anyone who knows her face will know her voice and should hence also know that _whatever_ it is going to be very well done. Wish I knew who the man with the booming voice is. He has red? hair and very dark eyes. He has sung with Tenebrae before in _Miserere Mi, Deus._ (I think I got the title right haha). I would _love_ to see an interview with Nigel Short.
@@thebeanymac Miserere Mei, Deus. Lord have mercy on me. Best version ever with this French angel also.
once again the glorious sound of people singing.....in a world beset by by so much cruelty, hatred, violence,.and misery i can hear something like this.....makes it worth waking up in the morning..
Amen to that, Sir!
I sang this in music college over 35 years ago.
I still remember every note.
Towards the end it was so beautiful, I used to imagine the heavens opening up and taking me in forever.
Only music like this can do that.
Assisti ao vídeo de "Miserere" tantas vezes nos últimos meses que foi reconfortante ver todos esses rostos já familiares novamente. Obrigado por compartilhar conteúdo tão elevado.

O canal deles é maravilhoso.
That wee LADY who reaches High C ... well I love you forever it is so wonderful to hear the voice of an angel ... in terrestrial time. Thank you whoever you are ❤ And God Bless you ❤
Aye, Josephine Stephenson. Angelic.
Then you should watch Miserere mei, Deus. She was magical in that.
I lost my father-inlaw yesterday.. He, and I, loved this beautiful piece, done by theese immensly talented people.
Thank you for five more minutes of still happiness in my life. Love you. Спасибо from Russia!

0:43 hit me like a ton of bricks, nothing short of angelic
Same. I didn't see that one coming at all and I felt like I had been transported to another realm with that chord
3:40 i have goosebumps every time i listen to this bit this is amazing
sameee
Wow ...I got goosebumps when reading your comment and realised the song was at that very moment at the same time. Double goosebumps!
Me too. It’s simply stunning 😍
The same with me, it touches my soul, makes me cry.
Having spent twenty minutes viewing postings from the USA - all of them bearing witness to the sheer lunacy of the views upheld by a significant proportion of the populace; and having, thereby, become increasingly depressed with the state of mankind, I have accidentally landed on this performance of sheer beauty and perfection; a flickering candle of hope in a mad world which seems to have lost its bearings. Where all that is brash threatens to annihilate the delicate, the fragile and the supremely beautiful. I thank you for this, and all your postings on ‘utube’; which, one might tentatively hope, will bring about a wider appreciation of this genre, and in so doing, enrich the lives of those who are fortunate enough to make the discovery. Long may you prosper in your noble work.
Wow. Your choice of words, marvelous. I salute you and wish you well. From Nashville Tennessee USA 🇺🇸.
CZcams is a tool like anything else. You can use it to build, edify, and encourage, or tear down, mock, ridicule and judge. These days, the internet will quickly discover your preferences and guide you in that direction. You are on the right path!
Pretentious blather of a snob.
I was waiting for the “Alleluia” part at the end 😂
Me too. Is it optional in the score? I had my breath all taken and was waiting for the entrance that never came.
😆
@@shrewsburychorale I believe Bruckner added it later at the request of a kapellmeister. But I love it too.
Magnífico, formidável, esplêndido!
Simplesmente magnífico! Fico feliz em ver uma conterrânea que aprecia a boa música!
Maravilhoso!!!
@@pauloneves6120 a recíproca é verdadeira !
The sound we need in a time where everything has gone wrong. Bless you all..keep making this beautiful sound! Thank you!
There is so much to say about your video. First the beautiful way you sing which is reaching the level of perfection! Second the place where you are filming, which is absolutly beautiful. And third I would give an award to the people filming, the producer first for all, and of course the light masters, sound producers and cameramen for the way they allow us inside the group of singers!
Many thanks for sharing such a high quality work for free!
And to God for giving these people the talent
Il commento più bello... Grazie❤❤❤
CZcams is amazing.
Excellent performance. One of my top favorite choirs on CZcams. The singers sing clean and fine, the conductor is well integrated with the choir, punctus contra punctum works fine, a well-balanced symbiosis.
Respect from Turkey 🇹🇷
Merci à vous, Ô Tenebrae Choir, d'illuminer de votre talent ces temps de grisailles. Bravo !
je partage ce sentiment ,magnifique !
Oui, il faudrait que le Monde ait la même oreille et la même sensibilité.
Alors, l'illumination serait totale ...
Thank you. I needed something beautiful in this devastation. 😥
This has been such a hard year. I hope you’re hanging in there and finding peace and beauty where you can. Sending a hug to you.
GOD is in control. ❤️
do best you can, i feel ya
Thank you, all of you who sing so wonderfully together.
As a singer of chorus for over a decade i just ask you KEEP DING THIS AND SHARING FREE on youtube, speceally at pandemia!! please, hugs from southamerica! music is our universal lenguage. Bless u all!
May Almighty God continue to allow this music to reach my ears. Bless you all.... ❤️
The ethereal harmony transcends this physical world...
Absolutely agree. At certain times it has become almost mystical.
Sounds like angels. The peace we must found walking to the light.
Your songs simply elevate me to another state of being. I had never imagined our bodies were capable of producing such beauty. I'm not even Christian but this transcends every cultural barrier and penetrates the souls of all of us. Thank you.
That octave and minor sixth in the bass at bar 12 was INCREDIBLE. Gives me chills every time I hear it. Thank you.
This Divine singing, the camera work, the Church. My deep respect and gratitude Tenebrae Choir. (Netherlands)
Perfekt in jeder Beziehung. Wundervoller Chor. Dankeschön!
This choir just mesmerizes me with every performance. This is not mere singing anymore, that is a whole new level I have no word for. Beautiful.
This bring tears to my eyes. God have mercy on my soul.
Os justi - to śpiew niezwykły, pełny ascetycznego piękna. Z ciemności, powoli i spokojnie wypływa strumień światła, dotyka nas i prowadzi ku Mądrości, której żadne więzy nie mogą skrępować.
Os justi - is an unusual singing, full of ascetic beauty. From the darkness, a stream of light slowly and calmly flows out, touches us and leads us to Wisdom, which cannot be bound by any bond.
Let us thank God for the beauty of this incredible choir! Josephine Stephenson, you are absolutely wonderful.
No, composers. Nothing supernatural.
@@jjaus❤😂❤❤
Merci à toutes et à tous pour vos merveilleuses voix, et merci à vous Monsieur N. Short !
We must remember life is hard, as you grow older it's hard. There's no denying this. But we should always remember how beautiful the world can be when we spread joy with one another. It's not that hard to get out of your own cage, so to speak. Dare all of you to make somebody smile today. It's the best anyone can do really, make another person smile...
This is the beautiful culture thats fast disappearing in christendom for various reasons, may God preserve it🙏
No other religion will accept losing this kind of gregorian musique sacrée.. this will never happen don’t worry , this is eternal as god is
It's not going anywhere - there are plenty of people in all beliefs and religions that recognize this music for its beauty, myself included. Many people who perform this piece won't be particularly religious, but it's just glorious to the ears.
Maybe from some places- but my parish has been learning more and more of this. It’s been wonderful!
May we bring it on 🙏 May we teach and reach. God help us
@@mimitrammell A true gift from God- use your talant, use it 🙏
Choral music doesn’t get any better than this. Congratulations Nigel and the rest of you. You have brought this music to new listeners. Absolutely brilliant.
When the male voices are elevated it gives me goosebumps. Deeply moving. What a beautifully talented group of people. Thank you Tenebrae Choir. I will see you perform live one day!
Beautiful Nigel. Such a very gifted bunch
As a great music lover who passed away recently used to say about great singers: "Oh, they just can't sing...." and then started laughing in awe. He would have appreciated this performance I'm sure.
The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just. "Os justi meditabitur sapientiam,
et lingua ejus loquetur judicium."
Makes me cry. They are working in The Power of His Might. Ephesians 6:10. God bless them always! ❤️🙏🏼
This is music directly from heaven, it makes me cry. Perfect, marvelous performance. 🌹🌹🌹
That was glorious.You don't have to understand a word in order to feel a lovely sense of peace,to just quietly revel in the sound of those beautiful voices.I'm glad that Tenebrae was able to come together and perform while maintaining social distancing.It really is a balm to the soul to hear something like this during such troubled times.
just beautiful as usual......this choir understands and musically translates medieval and renaissance holy music for modern audiences to appreciate and enjoy
Bruckner - 1824 to 1896
@@TinaYWu-lw1qx I guess that is "Baroque" (?)......the choir DOES interpret older compositions as well and perform all pieces beautifully, don't you think?💛Os justi WAB 30, is a sacred motet composed by Anton Bruckner in 1879. Os Justi is a Gregorian chant used as gradual of the Commune Doctorum.........thank you for the citation.
3 years later and I still put my now 3 year old to sleep every single night with this absolute gem. First minute she vocalises and the next she’s counting sheep.
This is the best interpretation of this piece I've seen on CZcams in terms of dynamics contrast and section balance
Voice is the most beautiful instrument and this is music of heaven. We owe so much to Bruckner; let him rest in peace…
One of the best Os justi performances we've ever heard. Beautifully balanced voices with clearly exposed parts that Bruckner cared about the most. Strong-sounding gentlemen and gentle ladies in perfect harmony. Greetings to the great conductor Nigel Short.
There are no words in any language to describe such beauty and elevation.
The fact that there is this number of singers in the same room that are this professional, exquisite, skilled, musically sensitive, and brilliant... Just blows my mind. Would love to see them in person
In these terrible times it’s a blessing to listen to this wonderful music. It’s balm for my soul that is so sad. Thank you all and stay safe! ❤️
Miss Stevenson is back! What a voice!
Not knowing where we come from, not knowing where we are going, conscience, a soul, back in the day these voices, these vocal works, the very churches they sang in gave people something tangible and they believed in the Almighty and the fleeting beauty of life and the promise of eternal.
not so much nowadays.
Some of us still believe. ❤️
Thanks a lot for the sumptuous present et très heureux d'entendre de nouveau la voix transcendante de Josephine Stephenson, formidable compositrice et incroyable soprano. Merci.
So fantatisc you singing Bruckner. The "Ave Maria" you recorded is the best. It would be great have it in video. Congratulations from Brazil!
It's hard to believe that the choirs in heaven will be infinitely more gorgeous than this.
What a marvelous collection of voices. You all have blessed those who listen with a brief moment of pure bliss and I, like many others, appreciate you for your dedication to your craft. Thank you all.
Como pode uma música ser tão bonita?
That balanced crescendo at 3:40 tho. Well done. Beautiful. Thank you.
There’s no crescendo there.
@@baldrbraa It's the end of a crescendo there
@@glibbergloop Exactly. The crescendo is over at that point.
Perfection has been reached
Oui, la perfection existe !
Yes, the perfection exist !

You'd feel like a king when this choir sings at your funeral
What an awesome rabbit hole to fall into :) I've been watching these performances for hours now lol
Solo puedo decir que todo el tiempo de cuarentena aprecié la belleza de la música viendo y escuchando este video.
Grandes Teneabrae Choir...!!!
Absolute perfection. Such beauty from what I think is the best choir I've ever heard. After many years of trying I finally managed to see Tenebrae perform live in Sion last weekend. It was a dream come true, and far exceeded every expectation I could have had. Swiss audiences are knowledgeable but very self-contained. They rarely get swept away, however good the performance, but at the end there wasn't a person still seated and I wasn't the only person using a handkerchief to dry my eyes. What an experience. Thank you so much, Tenebrae and Nigel Short.
Truly the embodiment of passion and precision. Utterly stunning.
The performance is mesmerizing!
Do Brasil: vocês são incríveis.
Reject modernity, Embrace Tradition.
This is Tradition.
Thank you for your great work, I wish I could partake in something like this.
After fifty years, I can still sing the first tenor part. A little gem indeed, comparable to Josquin. And a wonderful, courageously broad performance by Tenebrae.
Thank you. Cheers from snowy Vienna, Scott
That bass deserves a shoutout really wonderful
This was on my birthday. Till today, I feel the pain through your voice. It's a beautiful sacrifice.
Much love from Nigeria
Many thanks. Today I got close to Heaven. A question: why anyone has put the dislike? WHYYYYYYY?
Show de bola! I'm studying musical Theory because Tenebrae choirs!
One of my favorite choral pieces. So beautiful.
Truly Magnificent, Beautiful Gift Of Music🎵
Simply beautiful and so much so that it touches the soul
Goosebumps. Stunning
Primera vez que escucho y veo este grupo coral Tenebrae..... FANTÁSTICO, buscaré más vídeos de ellos.
