This should be played before the evening news. Would then put it into perspective. Absolutely beautiful.
And after TV-COVID news every day.
Wonderful l love this song dearly!!God bless you all always!!🙏🙏
After listening this, no need to watch the news. Perchance you already watched the news.... this will walk you back from the edge of the cliff.
The one person who disliked this video must have been having so bad a day that this performance was simply too perfect.
Be still, my soul, The Lord is on thy side
Bear patiently, the cross of grief or pain
Leave to thy God, to order and provide
In every change, He faithful will remain
Be still, my soul, thy best thy heavenly friend
Through thorny ways, leads to a joyful end
Be still, my soul, thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past
Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake
All now mysterious shall be bright at last
Be still, my soul, the waves and wind still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below
In You I rest, in You I found my hope
In You I trust, You never let me go
I place my life within Your hands alone
Be still, my soul
Be still, my soul, the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored
Be still, my soul, when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed, we shall meet at last
In You I rest, in You I found my hope
In You I trust, You never let me go
I place my life within Your hands alone
Be still, my soul
In You I rest, in You I found my hope
In You I trust, You never let me go
I place my life within Your hands alone
Be still, my soul
Be still, my soul
Be still, my soul
Thank you 😊
I needed this right now. I can’t put it into words. Thank you for doing so for me. 🌸🕊❤️
I want this at my funeral beautiful words.
Thank you
Thank you!
The best arrangement of this hymn I’ve ever heard, sung by one of the best choirs I’ve ever heard. Period.
I just looked the score up and it turns out the guy who wrote this arrangement is a HIGH SCHOOL senior. Mad impressive.

It says it is a setting of Sibelius' Finlandia.
It is Finlandia. Not some High school guy's attempt at fame.
The tune, yes. However this particular arrangement of Finlandia was done by a high schooler
@@beldengi But why be no nasty about it? My chamber choir sang this arrangement and were super impressed a MN Senior managed to create this beautiful arrangement (as we're a Minnesota-based group). Why not celebrate young artists in a time when we need the arts so desperately? Yes, the original is also a fantastic classic, but there's no need to discredit this arrangement on a video that showcases it.
@@beldengi I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you don't really know much about music. There is a difference between a composer (original "author" of a piece of music) and an arranger who changes things such as harmony, tempo, etc. to change the overall impact. Just listen to a couple of different videos of Finlandia and you can find subtle differences, including completely different lyrics
With covid, my daughter’s school choir can’t even physically sing together but sing online. Nothing beats singing together like this.
Anything Voces8 does is sublime ❤️🎶🎵💕
I learned this song during my confirmation classes. That occurred in the mid 1960’s. I seldom hear this song. This performance was nothing short of perfection. I am deeply moved.
As a singer, I really appreciate how difficult this harmony is. Magnificent singing!!
I’m not really religious, but this one pierces the veil a bit. Good god it’s beautiful! Angelic!
My brother played me Finlandia (Sibelius) when I was about 12 and I was crying by the end of it. We sometimes sing this hymn at church, but not these amazing harmonies obviously. Quite a revelation.
one of my favorite old hymns. done incredibly well.
One of my favourite hymns ✝️
Einfach nur himmlisch und Frieden pur ...
This is the very best version of this beautiful hymn.
Be Still, My Soul, sung with such perfection provides a quiet respite to reset from the madness of the day. Thank you.
My parents both loved this hymn. I could never sing this in church without getting emotional. Just as i did just now. Thank you. I shall play this many times, I'm sure
Absolutely sublime; a piece of heaven and earth touching in these musical voices.
gosh darn-it that tall skinny redhead (the girl) takes my soul with her , soaring into the heavens every time she lifts off......NO ONE like her.....most delightful
💯 This is what HEAVEN sounds like...😇
Straight from heaven.
Thanks very much. Three of my grandparents were born in Finland, and this hymn was sung at my mother's funeral. You can imagine that it was very moving. (Doug)
We were singing it when my father passed away. And just now I was in tears remembering my mom, so I found this to comfort me.
Just amazing. It moves the heart to look heavenward
Listened to this once, had to listen to it again. Beautiful!
A sublimely beautiful arrangement, sung perfectly. Thank you.
Heavenly.
Marvelous such healing music and so needed in these difficult times
Be still my soul the Lord is on thy side
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain
Leave to thy God to order and provide
In every change He faithful will remain
Be still my soul thy best, thy heavenly friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end
Be still, my soul, thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake
All now mysterious shall be bright at last
Be still, my soul, the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below
i lost count count how many times I keep coming back to this performance. The group work so well together and it sounds effortless. I searched for other hymns by the same group but this appears to be the only one.
The group is Voces8 and there are MANY videos of their glorious singing on their own channel.
Magnifique, tout simplement
If there is anything more beautiful, I have yet to hear it.
So, beautiful. I so wish I had this arrangement on cd.
Delicious harmonies sung to perfection.
So beautiful. Love this arrangement.
Sublime rendering. Praise God !
2:04 lights flickered and almost added to the glorious sound!
Absolutely wonderful!
VOCES8 sings a beautiful text with an equally beautiful melody. Simply perfect, this ensemble.
Fritz from Switzerland
Perfection. Just wonderfully blended. Flawless. A gift. Thank you.
Sublime......it brings us into the center of our souls.
Beautifully moving. The harmonies complement each other, making it full circle of a reflective and pensive piece. Thank you, Voces8.
Sibelius, smiling ...
This is stunning, so beautiful.
lush…always precisely what’s needed to serve the work… thank you
Thank you. These vids always seem to show up in my feed when I need them the most.
Such tranquil harmony ~ thank you!
Who can stay away from Voces8 for very long?
Profoundly, deeply, gently stirring. X. Thankyou for the exquisite beauty of your resonant harmony. X
Ongelofelijk mooi is dit!!
Appreciate that the camera was stationary. One voice, one video.
Beautiful! The acoustics were resounding.
Of all the interpretations of this piece that I have heard, this is by far the most beautiful and most inspiring I have ever heard. This has long been one of my favorite pieces of music to sing, and it was very gratifying to add my voice to your mix and enjoy how good you guys make me sound. :) Your interpretation is magical. Thank you for your music and for sharing your gifts with us here. I just discovered you last fall, and when I did I immediately ordered two of your CDs and gave them as christmas gifts to my lady. She was as appreciative of your talents as I am. I hope I get to hear a lot more of you folks before I start pushing up daisies.
100% agree
Love it .
Beautiful. A favorite hymn.
I melt. ❤️
Stunning&amazing, perfect for these terrible times.
Fav hymn- speaks volumes - sung beautifully . Thank you!!
Beautiful arrangement and performance! Thank you so much - such a blessing.
Wow!! Eins meiner Lieblingslieder… soooooooo schön gesungen
I so wish I had this talent. What a beautiful experience it would be to participate in.
Me too. But you also have to include hundreds of hours of personal practice, memorizing and ensemble training. They make it look and sound easy. it is horrendously difficult. It is not magic. It is HARD work.
Sanjosemike (no longer in CA)
I feel so calm, relaxed and at peace after listening to this perfection. Thank you
Divine music from Voces 8. Beautiful, thank you.
now more people realize they do have a soul, that is so huge , it was made for the eternal
God and will fly to Jesus if they have known Him and accepted Him in this life.
Beautiful rendition and who would expect anything less from this group. Thank you again
Beautiful!
Absolutely beautiful!!
Just awesome!
Love it!
What a beautiful arrangement...
Beautiful!!
Food for the soul. Heavenly & gorgeous 🙏💎
yes!❤️
Great harmonies! If you have ever sung in a choir you will appreciate how difficult it is to sing like this.
Breathtaking
More please!❤️
Beautiful💓
that is beautiful.
Beautiful and sweet
Beautiful. I love the suspended chord at 3:04.
As a proud NDSU graduate (1982) I am so delighted to hear this. Thank You
Meraviglioso
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.🌸🕯🕊❤️
On constant repeat...🕯🕊❤️

Very nice!
So schöööön 😍
The Angel's are upon us !
Thank you
Perfect
Beautiful and inspiring. Worth noting that the words were written by a German pietist lady in the 17th century. The music is part of Sibelius' Finlandia, a hymn challenging Russian oppression of Finland at the time. Matheson only did the arrangement!!
I’m there with that bass line. Matheson I think knows he was a channel, a ‘hollow reed’ transmitting what was given to him. I don’t believe great art is ever ‘made’ only the person is found that gives expression to it. May all who pursue callings rest in this. Oh, and practice like mad.
Sublime...thank you
In memory of my 2 bffs
🖤🖤
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Helt bra variant av Jean Sibelius "Finlandia". Ihan hyvä variaatio Jean Sibeliuksen "Finlandiasta"
❤️
🙏
My God.
The music is by Sibelius.
Wow
😭😭😭
Amazing arrangement & performance. I wanted a little more bass tho!
No hymn like this one. And no one like Voces8 to sing it.
