I am 89 years of age and recently lost my wife after 61 years of marriage. This beautiful music and so wonderfully performed brings my soul nearer to heaven where I know she now is!
Dear Malcolm, Please accept my sincerest commiserations for your loss. Even after 61 years together the passing is all too soon and l feel your sorrow. This particular piece has a similarly meaningful and profound effect on me as l regularly drop by and play it as l too grieve for my dearly departed mother who always loved such choral music as this. Hoping you too may continue to return, to spend a while and think of your lovely wife. God Bless you.
Dear Malcolm, (I'm only at 41 years marriage) and God kept us alive. May Jesus comfort you. It is more and more our joy to keep His commandments. There is peace in Gods law! Shalom.
I have now reached 91 years of age and still miss my wife so much. I am thankful for and am truly amazed by the the number of wonderful messages I have received ! God bless all!
Que saúde meu amigo! Deus te abençoe! Logo mais, se você perseverar, irá ver Jesus no céu, e poderá, enfim, descansar, assim como sua amada está descansando. Deus ama muito você e sua amada, que já está lhe esperando no céu. 🙏
Saw your comment below Dear Mr. Johnson, .. and so VERY sorry for your loss. But may you (and ALL) remember that GREAT "Re-uniting Day" that now appears (more than ever) to be coming soon! ... its that sure Word of Prophecy .. (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18)! God's blessings and comfort to you Sir. In Him.
We need the return of this beautiful music back in our lifes, both directly - concerts , music files, and indirectly, soundtracks and so on, we miss PURE ART...
As, in my mid 80's, I listen to this anthem, I reflect on a phone call, earlier today, that my dear sister has only hours, or at most a day or two left to live. Despite my sorrow, these parting words of our Lord, so beautifully set by Thomas Tallis, and which as a pastor/choirmaster I have sung many times, so sensitively sung by this ensemble, brings comfort and consolation in the anticipation of parting. Deepest thanks.
Sweet heart. I'm so sorry. I live away from my sisters and I miss them now. I can't imagine the loss of them. I will be praying for her soul. Remember with every cross there is a resurrection. God is with you, you are not alone. You'll be in my rosary sweetheart. I got you! :)
If ye love me Keep my commandments And I will pray the father (And I will pray the father) And he shall give you another comforter That he (That he) That he May bide with you forever E'en the spirit of (E'en the spirit of) E'en the spirit of truth E'en the spirit of truth E'en the spirit of truth That he (That he) That he May bide with you forever E'en the spirit of (E'en the spirit of) E'en the spirit of truth E'en the spirit of truth E'en the spirit of truth
I feel like I have angels singing right into my ears when I listen to this song. I’ve pressed repeat more times than I can remember. May God bless everyone reading this during these crazy times we’re battling with this year.
“If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever- the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day you will realize that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” (John 14:15-21)
Если любите Меня, соблюдите Мои заповеди. И Я умолю Отца, и даст вам другого Утешителя, да пребудет с вами вовек, Духа истины, Которого мир не может принять, потому что не видит Его и не знает Его; а вы знаете Его, ибо Он с вами пребывает и в вас будет. Не оставлю вас сиротами; приду к вам. Еще немного, и мир уже не увидит Меня; а вы увидите Меня, ибо Я живу, и вы будете жить. В тот день узнаете вы, что Я в Отце Моем, и вы во Мне, и Я в вас. Кто имеет заповеди Мои и соблюдает их, тот любит Меня; а кто любит Меня, тот возлюблен будет Отцем Моим; и Я возлюблю его и явлюсь ему Сам.
Your ensemble is beyond professional - the perfect balance, softness, the voices in their different layers are soul-touching and give me internal peace. Thank you! I want to hear more from you.
Don´t get me wrong the whole choir is just a whole new level, but the alto voices in this choir are....not from this earth. fantastic. Like warm honey poured directly into your soul.
@@Sennmut There are about 20,000 Catholics in Iran who follow the Chaldean, Armenian and Latin Rites. Many Iranians are disillusioned with political Islam and there are many interested in and converting to Catholicism.
You know, all the moments we are living, wherever you are. Listening to this music is a privilege for our soul. Be grateful, because the life still is with you! And with Jesus it may be forever!
@@guitarslim56 I thought it was enhanced by it. There is a truth irrespective of what your or I believe. Whether Jesus died and rose again is the single most important question we should be asking.
This choir has done so much for me spiritually… every time I listen to them I fall into deep thought about the kingdom of the true and living God. Christ is LORD ❤✝️
Mentre le voci salgono con le loro eco sulle verticali pareti della cattedrale, dalle volte gotiche discende in noi la Voce dello Spirito Santo. E' l'incontro con lo Sposo che si manifesta anche con la bellezza trasfigurata di chi canta. E' proprio vero, come diceva Dostoevskij: ''Sarà la Bellezza (l'Amore) a salvare il mondo.'' Grazie Tenebrae, bravissimi. Anzi modestamente vi propongo di modificare il vostro nome in: Tenebrae&Lux. È vero viviamo in un mondo di tenebre come gli abiti neri che indossate ma esiste anche la luce, come lo splendore dei vostri volti e della vostra voce. While the voices rise with their echoes on the vertical walls of the cathedral, the Voice of the Holy Spirit descends in us from the Gothic vaults. It is the encounter with the Bridegroom that is also manifested in the transfigured beauty of the one who sings. It is really true, as Dostoevskij said: '' It will be Beauty (Love) that will save the world. '' Thanks Tenebrae, very good. Indeed modestly I propose to change your name in: Tenebrae & Lux. It is true we live in a world of darkness like the black clothes you wear but there is also light, like the splendor of your faces and your voice.
In a 24 hour day we feel so many emotions.. happiness, sadness, anxious, anger, excitement, all the lows and highs.. the soul is layered in so many ways... but as i lay my head to rest after the day is done... listening to this.. all i can feel is pure powerful love from above and all around.. thank you for your gifts .. your heaven sent voices 🕊🤍🙏🏼
Que música maravilhosa, vozes abençoadas por Deus, quando ouço as músicas que vocês cantam parece que estou no céu. Abençoados sejam todos vocês!! Direto aqui do Brasil ❤🇧🇷🇧🇷
“Através da busca da beleza, modelamos o mundo como um lar e fazendo-o, amplificamos nossas alegrias e encontramos consolo para nossas tristezas. Arte e música irradiam significado para a vida cotidiana, e através delas, nos tornamos capazes de enfrentar as coisas que nos preocupam e encontramos consolo e paz em suas presenças”.
I wonder, how beautiful the faces of all the singers are. It is as if the music would transcribe the beauty into their souls. They are so beautiful. Its amazing!
I was thinking the same. And also how this is the nearest to perfection that a human creature ( we are animals and mammals like any other creature) can get!
John 14:16 is among my favourite Scripture verses-the Trinity in consultation to bring comfort to God’s children. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit! Hallelujah and amen!
Our choir sings this every year and if we can do anything close to this group, that would be a gift from God to our members and choir. But even short of this, it is a joy to sing or to listen to other sing it. 🌈🙏👍
Dear Malcolm, also sorry to hear of the passing of your dear wife. I too lost my faithful wifely nearly 53 years from Alz. Disease in May of 2020. Blessings to you in Our Wonderful Lord Jesus’ Name.
Since I couldn't find it anywhere in the description of the video: The liturgy is of the the New Testament, Gospel of Saint John chapter 14, verses 15 to 21.
_Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, "I know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked._ 1 John 2:3-6 (NKJV)
I believe the 'rubbish' description is too generalized to describe music written and performed today even as a means of emphasizing the excellence of this choir's rendition of this anthem.
Stunning! Utterly beautiful. Extraordinary voice control, and what voices!! Heavenly. Surely the finest recording of Thomas Tallis’ masterpiece, first published 457 year’s ago!! Thank you so much, Michael 🦋
Such a song cancels time. I think of unhappy love, when I was 28. It is 40 years ago, but melancholy lives. But it also comforts. Other doors opened and sun went up and down.
This is sublime. And to watch the expressions of the singers and conductor whilst performing this art melt the soul into the divine and pure. Thank You Tenebrae. Absolutely beautiful.
I don't have the adjectives in my vocabulary to describe this ...honestly. If I could dare imagine what Heaven sounds like, this would have to be It though!
@@elaineblackhurst1509 if you want to provide information to the listener, then post it generally, not as a "correction" to someone else's post. It also helps if the imformation provided is correct.
Tallis was the premier English composer of sacred choral music during his time, IMO. The piece heard here above is a testament to his greatness. What he would have thought of how one of his themes was developed by Vaughan-Williams more than some 350 years later would likely not have met with his favor but the times & musical styles were different for both these compositions & with that in mind, for me at least, I cherish both Tallis‘ original & the added dimension that Vaughan Williams added to it. The Tallis Fantasia has been a part of my life for over 50 years & to this day remains the music which means the most to me. I have sung the initial hymn that Tallis created & the above selection is memorable as well. Among scholars these opinions are probably controversial but, for me, the two versions, hearing them in modern times, demonstrate how the variety of musical expression can allow these two masterpieces to reveal immortal imaginative expressions.
One should love God, love Jesus, not for any expectation of reward for the soul. but simply to bend the knee and bow the head in the face of truth. Which is, quite simply, everything.
If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another comforter, that he may 'bide with you forever; E'en the sp'rit of truth. - John 14:15-17
So simple and beautiful. This short motet can be sung by any choir in any place. It should be sung in church services and Catholic masses in every parish in Britain and beyond.
La musique sacrée attire les anges, grâce à vous ils viennent nous protéger contre ceux qui veulent nous bâillonner et empêcher les vibrations de monter , continuez, persévérez, le miracle aura bientôt lieu! The holy music attract angels, they'll come to protect us against thoses wanting get us mute and avoid vobrations go up, go on, persevere, miracle will be soon!

For the weak in our world right now. Saint Michael cast satan out of paradise over and over again. May the Holy Mother crush the head of the serpent before our own eyes in the garden of peace.
I’m so sad I’m working when y’all (Tenebrae) are having your next concert in Houston. One of the absolute best chamber choirs in the world. Y’all do such underperformed works and so brilliantly, breathing new life into them. I’ll catch yall soon! Hopefully 😅

This is not a cathedral: it is a church, though an unusually large one. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Augustine%27s,_Kilburn

What he would have thought of how one of his themes was developed by Vaughan-Williams more than some 350 years later would likely not have met with his favor but the times & musical styles were different for both these compositions & with that in mind, for me at least, I cherish both Tallis‘ original & the added dimension that Vaughan Williams added to it. The Tallis Fantasia has been a part of my life for over 50 years & to this day remains the music which means the most to me. I have sung the initial hymn that Tallis created & the above selection is memorable as well. Among scholars these opinions are probably controversial but, for me, the two versions, hearing them in modern times, demonstrate how the variety of musical expression can allow these two masterpieces to reveal immortal imaginative expressions.
Who disliked this work of beauty and worship to our lord ???
So blessed 🥲

Together with voces8, probably the best choir around. Beautiful. Thank you!
I always watching your videos, its very beautiful, and diverting my mind
Thank you for the cd's they are amazing. Your music got me through depression and a very low time it my life. Thank you
Beyond sublime.... Truly we are blessed to be given this Divine message
One should love God, love Jesus, not for any expectation of reward for the soul. but simply to bend the knee and bow the head in the face of truth. Which is, quite simply, everything.
Após quatro séculos a obra continua encantando. A arte verdadeira é imortal
This music and singing is like the welcome in HEAVEN
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
And I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another comforter,
that he may 'bide with you forever;
E'en the sp'rit of truth.
- John 14:15-17
Glorious singing! What more can be said except the sounds of heaven!
🎉😊🎉 : I could listen to this all day !!! ❤️
Perfection. "Lift up your hearts." You always help God's people to do that. Many thanks.
Holy bliss. If this were the only work Tallis ever composed, he would still truly be the greatest Elizabethan musical genius.
Wonderful. Once again my favourite choir knock it out of the park
So simple and beautiful. This short motet can be sung by any choir in any place. It should be sung in church services and Catholic masses in every parish in Britain and beyond.
La musique sacrée attire les anges, grâce à vous ils viennent nous protéger contre ceux qui veulent nous bâillonner et empêcher les vibrations de monter , continuez, persévérez, le miracle aura bientôt lieu!

For the weak in our world right now. Saint Michael cast satan out of paradise over and over again. May the Holy Mother crush the head of the serpent before our own eyes in the garden of peace.
Thank you. May God be with you all.
I’m so sad I’m working when y’all (Tenebrae) are having your next concert in Houston. One of the absolute best chamber choirs in the world. Y’all do such underperformed works and so brilliantly, breathing new life into them. I’ll catch yall soon! Hopefully 😅
When the Lord Himself spoke these words, it was far more beautiful than even this, this amazing and masterfully performed anthem.
Glory be to Jesus Christ, our savior, and thanks be to the Father for His mercy and grace.
