    I've never heard a choir so perfectly in sync with one another. The blend, the shape, the dynamics; it all happens as one voice. It's breathtaking

    At 63 it seems I learn something new nearly every day that I wish I had learned earlier in my life: like how easily something as beautiful as this presentation can bring tears to my eyes. O Magnum Magnificent!

    Mr. Gjeilo did write this one. He is a terrific composer. His Sunrise Mass is absolutely gorgeous, particularly the last movement, "The Gound", which can be heard here in RUclips.

    Just sang this for Christmas. So beautiful! We had a cello rather than a violin, which I think was more soulful. Though I think this choir has us beat for the purity of the sound.

      Dazza Howard Thanks for sharing your insights!
      Not-knowing is true knowledge.
      Presuming to know is a disease.
      First realize that you are sick;
      then you can move toward health.
      The Master is her own physician.
      She has healed herself of all knowing.
      Thus she is truly whole.

    Zum Dirigat: Einer meiner Lehrer sagte: Wenn Musiker anfangen zu musizieren, um Himmels Willen, bloß nicht stören! Ein großzügigigeres Dirigat würde m.E. mehr Unruhe produzieren als nützen. Ich selbst neige dazu "ausladender" zu dirigieren, jedoch (s.o.) ist nicht das manchmal eben kontraproduktiv.

    @karenkiebooms1373 4 года назад

    wat me hoe langer hoe meer begint op te vallen is, dat een dirigent geen enkel gevoel voor metrum heeft, hij telt en voelt niet aan hoe de melodie zich een weg baant door de muziek ... het stoort me mateloos, want we hebben het niet nodig en het zou beter zijn om het individu te 'redden' als die in het water gevallen is ... daarom 'vond ik de M-pad uit', ik was soms zo mee met de muziek dat ik het blad dat voor me lag uit het oog verloor en dan was er wel die schat van een Patrick, die mijn partij zong tot ik terug bij de groep was, maar zoiets kan je dus niet maken bij een optreden of een examen. De M-pad is op jouw partij ingesteld en val je eruit, dan druk je op de rode knop, waarna er afgeteld wordt, zodat je zonder problemen kan ritsen en zo zijn er beschamende momenten voorkomen, want het mag geen laatste oordeel worden ... muziek was een deel van mezelf en daar wenste ik geen water bij de wijn te doen, zoals liefde mocht het elke vorm hebben, zolang het bereikbaar bleef ... ik hoop dat Sophia, Ola kent (en vice versa), zodat het tijdens het proces is voortgegaan, ik moest kiezen tussen ratio en emotie en wist dat ik op andere vlakken verder stond - tijd is ondeelbaar. Niks is onmogelijk, als je het maar goed aanpakt en de Heilige Voorzienigheid moet geweten hebben dat het altijd al een Sofie's choice was, want je kan nooit het ene helemaal opofferen voor het andere, ook al zijn er momenten dat je het andere even in de ijskast stopt. Achteraf bekeken is alles gelopen zoals het hoorde, het scenario dat je nooit zelf had kunnen bedenken en zo weet ik zeker dat iets ons bevattingsvermogen overstijgt zonder dat het ons passief maakt. The circle round!

    It doesn’t sound right with a violin playing. It requires a much deeper, richer sound like the cello. The choir was excellent, however…. Get rid of the violin and use a cello would make it perfect.
