This just brought back a well of emotions for me. I sang this song back in 2008 in our youth choir. I was a 1st Tenor. We were fortunate enough to compete at Llangollen Choral Festival and I remember when we performed this masterpiece. Until this very day, I still sing this song. Thank you Tenebrae! 🙏🏾
Had the privilege of attending an International Choral Festival in Bern, Switzerland, sometime around 2000-2001. Sir David Willcocks was our conductor. This was one of the pieces we sang. Five hundred voices singing this together, we had all been rehearsing the music for months, with a master conductor at the baton. One of the special experiences of my life, that whole concert. I always get goosebumps at the "big moment" in this piece. You guys breathed like you were ONE. PERSON. OMG, can't imagine how many hours you have spent learning to breathe together. So glad this popped up on my computer this morning. With all the turmoil going on in the world, it's so welcome to enjoy a moment of sheer beauty and joy.
My favorite choir… it’s absolutely and utterly insane to me how you all are able to just casually perform this piece without shedding a tear in addition to not hearing any trembling voices from the emotions. At least from what I can see 😂 Excellent work!
That is one beautiful performance! I really liked Maestro Nigel Short's stylistic choice of making sure the singers had ample time to catch their breaths by allowing organic pauses between phrases unlike most other renditions on RUclips where the singers are expected to make their pauses overlap, which usually makes for a dizzying rendition that isn't really emotional and sounds rather 'tiresome' because it feels endless and dragged out. This was truly splendid to listen to and brought back the pleasant memory of discovering this song thanks to the rehearsal that was uploaded a while ago.
les écouter sur youtube est déjà magnifique...mais les découvrir en vrai est une expérience fabuleuse. Voir, ressentir et écouter Nigel Short les diriger avec virtuosité, et ce à quelques centimètres de vous est une expérience inoubliable. J'en suis à 4 concerts en un peu plus d'un an et je n'ai qu'une hâte, aller les revoir
Прекрасный хор, чистые голоса. Понравилось как звучит. Богоро́дице Де́во, ра́дуйся, благода́тная Мари́е, Госпо́дь с Тобо́ю, Благослове́нна Ты в жена́х и благослове́н Плод чре́ва Твоего́, я́ко Спа́са родила́ еси́ душ на́ших. Эту молитву мы, православные, стараемся произносить везде и всегда. Перед выходом из дома, перед началом работы, после окончания работы, в опасных ситуациях, перед едой...
Beautiful redention. Even though the pieces are different, comparing this Bogoroditese Devo with the Blazhen Muzh posted 11 years ago is fascinating. This Bogoroditese Devo recording is closer to a "Westen interpretation", with a bit less attention to the bass section, while, in my opinion, the Blazhen Muzh is closer to the Russian choral tradition.
It's strange and completely baffling to me how this choir hasn't been recognized with a Grammy award yet..
We think so too ;)
😂 Maybe they forgot to thank Beyonce on all her amazing endeavors...🙄
It is crazy. This choir is one of a kind in the world. I hope, i can someday see you live.
Because they're not a patch on Voces8
Agreed! Stunning sound.

Magnifique, un peu de lumière dans cette période obscure que nous traversons

What a heart-felt comment❤
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment. We are so glad this gave you a peaceful moment.
This is the antidote to a busy, stressful modern day. Thank you so much for putting this out there. Even my dogs are loving it.
So true.
I always feel like in heaven hearing and singing in Orthodox choir ❤
Marvelous!!! Like all the Tenebrae Choir performs with the majestic conduction by Nigel Short!!
Thank You Nigel Short, And The Tenebrae Choir For This Beautiful Gift Of Music ❤

Can't get enough of Tenebrae Choir! Absolutely perfect as always!
Oh my goodness. And that line at 1:35 where you take the volume down on the way up. Wow. Heavenly.
I've heard this piece probably over 100 times and it still always brings a tear to my eye.
TRULLY FANTASTIC every single singer, big thanks
Joey Edwards was teaching a masterclass with my choir in which I will be performing with members of Tenebrae tomorrow night!
Brilliant! We hope you had a wonderful time!
Electrifying performance. So melodic and technically perfect.
That is one beautiful performance!

One of the most beautiful parts of Vespers.
Спасибо за это чудо❤
Beautiful thanks for sharing!
wonderful.Iwould have liked the Bass more up front, because its beautiful composed and sung Tenebrae's great Basses TY TY
Tenebrae's balance and blend are a model to the rest.
I wanted to be in this place. Feel so much peace
Majestic as usual...
Heavenly 😍
Beautiful! Will you be recording the other fourteen pieces as well? 🤩
♥️♥️♥️♥️

Big sound from quite a small ensemble.

This is wonderful. But we can't condone Russia.
