I think a lot of people become atheist because most religious scriptures are taught in too literal and dogmatic a sense vs the spiritual and philosophical way I believe they were intended. When it's held up to be literal, factual truths it falls to pieces in front of a logical mind almost instantly, but this was never its intended use I do believe.
When I first heard this I felt as though I could not breathe it is so beautiful. I didn’t even realize what it was about- then it dawned on me and I cried with fear and joy❤
I think this is the best rendition of Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei. I would rather enjoy playing it more if it wasn't for the audio quality (over modulation and distortion) on this video. It will be nice to re-upload this master piece.
This is great. It is a shame it has some static noises...unless it is my PC. I will check your website. From Joe in Pennsylvania, home of Samuel Barber.
Translation is the standard form of the movement The Lamb of God, Who took the sins of the world, Have mercy upon us. The Lamb of God, Who took the sins of the world, Have mercy upon us. The Lamb of God, Who took the sins of the world, Grant us peace.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem
This is a stunning performance, but only about half of it is in this video. The best part comes later when the kids hit some unbelievable high notes. Still, I'm glad I saw this because I only heard this on the radio once and didn't know that the soprano voices were boys or that there was a video at all. I'll have to buy that CD.
Ahhh Wow Oh yes. This is the best performance from Bieber's Agnus Dei, of course my opinion. And yes first time I see this one live. I'm very lucky to see before I going in heaven. Ah when New College come in Montreal, I hope meet the master.
Ouch, that is unfortunate. As you probably know they also sell their recordings on the website too, but I'm guessing the shipping costs might get quite expensive. Some of their newest (Illumina) videos are not available outside the UK either. I wonder why that is...
Have you heard Elfen Lied - Lilium? Or the saint version of Lilium? I think Lilium and this stand right next to each other on the lever of best piece of sacred music.

@ald2345 I think so lol Look: Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber(1644-1704); second Justin Bieber, boy singer; and of course Barber. lol Oh boy, thank you for this peak, Freud is happy now.

This surely deserves a 2022 comment, absolutely beautiful 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Here's one from 2024 my brother or sister in Christ! Praise and glory to God :)
So touching....one of the best performances of Barber's Agnus Dei that exist.
I've never heard better than this version. NEVER!
Even though I am an atheist, I find this music absolutely divine. It seems religion was a powerful source of inspiration for musicians and composers.
I found this music divine when I was an atheist - now that I'm not it's even more divine!

@@erichgroat838 what is your religious view/affiliation now? just curios
@@rockz911 Roman Catholic
@@erichgroat838 Wow! God Bless You! Welcome Home!
New College Choir and Edward Higginbottom reach perfection. Thank you.
Best version ever... Best choir ever... Angels couldn't beat this...
When I first heard this I felt as though I could not breathe it is so beautiful. I didn’t even realize what it was about- then it dawned on me and I cried with fear and joy❤
tears in my eyes
Beautifully rendered… the sopranos are particularly good.
rehearsing this piece in my high school advanced choir. very challenging but rewarding
i was part of this lol
Tear-jerkingly beautiful Thanks so much.
Magnificent....this Chorel piece is utterly beautiful.
It's great that we all think that we sound like this when singing in the shower. Fave version for sure
truly uplifting makes my soul rise towards God
Чудесное, проникновенное пение. Какая радость слушать это!
hermoso... de mis ojos no dejaran de caer mis lagrimas mientras escuche estas voces
@drwestbury Thanks for the lovely comment!

sukaiburu1 absolutely new college with higgenbottom magnificent. A➕⬆️
Absolutely love this
There really is something special about a childs voice.
DiiDee66 and special that the child has achieved such discipline required to sing chorale music
Of course the film Platoon created the visual background to this wonderful music but the cathedral
Choir takes it to a new level. Very moving
Tis so touching ❤
that must have been filmed in 1995-1996 period, based on the trebles in the front row!
This is great. It is a shame it has some static noises...unless it is my PC. I will check your website. From Joe in Pennsylvania, home of Samuel Barber.
It's not your PC. Regards from Wales UK

A great deal of their music is already available on iTunes - at least in Europe. Might depend on where you live, though.

Ах,как прекрасно это произведение и исполнение!...
estou afastada da presença d deus mas quando retorna quero louvar a Deus com esse hino....👉👉👉👉👉
Si majestueux, si pur, quelle magnifique symphonie.
Your potato records a surprisingly good quality video
@GriffinKing1991 it is, Barber wrote a transcription for voice set the words of Agnus Dei
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem
Sublime!
Love young male sopranos yes!
Très belle interprétation
To think that at death we will hear angels sing better than this makes death seem like nothing to fear.
Outstanding performance.

Toda a glória ao Único Deus , entre todas as nações .
Beautifull! The video is quite old, isn't it?
parfait ! merci
Is that Higginbottom conducting? :)
Almost perfect
I forget. We have one Anglican Cathedral, Christ Church Cathedral, in Montreal lol The Choirmaster is Patrick Wedd.
Ahhh Wow Oh yes. This is the best performance from Bieber's Agnus Dei, of course my opinion. And yes first time I see this one live. I'm very lucky to see before I going in heaven. Ah when New College come in Montreal, I hope meet the master.

this sounds just like a symphonic song, adagio for strings
Oh dear recording or compression couldn't handle the frequency
Cheers to 2024!!!
why was it cut off so early? Beautiful, nonetheless.
Using part of this song for a devised drama piece about the London bombings :'(
Americans: "Is that the theme for Vietnam?"
cool

Beautiful...but the always reminds me of Boondock Saints...and I have no idea why.
When was this recording made ? I am wondering at the bad image quality of the video (?).

Young boys voices give us a unique and beautiful tone differently from woman's soprano voices . Sorry for my bad English
I think you have very good English.
Sorry for my bad English.

One needs humility and perspective for this to indelibly mark your soul. Gloriously other worldly.
2019?
articulacy?
One comment for 2023
Bummer the audio is a bit fucked
240p?
Using this as a background song for a powerpoint about the London Bombings... Devised Drama Piece, depressing song!
It's so paradoxical to hear this agonizing cosmic cry that musially says there is no god - the universe is empty -in a liturgical setting.
I have to stop live or let die

er, what? i think comments that don't over-reach the commentators grasp of the subject and/or his/her articulacy are preferable...
Too slow... A waste of voices
