I doubt any of you will check this many years later; but I do want you to know that "Hodie" is my favorite Christmas choral work, and yours became my favorite performance from the first time I heard/saw you. I salute you, and give you much gratitude. And I do post this on my Facebook page every Christmas. Noe!!!
I'm just now learning this song for the first time in our choir and I am 33 years old. I love this piece and your group performed it beautifully! ❤ thank you for allowing us to watch this. God Bless
How simply lovely. . . and how soothing to an aching heart. Thank you, all of you, for the reminder that there IS cause for celebration at this time of year.!
How many things I love about this video!!! The way the church interior begins as a drawing, becomes "real," then goes back to a drawing. Like the singers bring it to life with their voices. All the singers are so excellent. The alto is a guy, as an alto myself I love that unusual choice. The faces of the singers, especially the unusual eyes of the bass. The piece itself is a favorite of mine for many years. As a college freshman in 1986 I was in a concert choir which performed this and other works at Neuschwanstein Castle and many other venues in central Europe; hearing it takes me back to that amazing tour experience. So thank you for creating and posting!
How did this international quintet come to be? This is one of my favorite Christmas choral works, done to perfection! Thank you. My church choir, under the direction of a very fine director and composer, did this in the 1970s, when my voice was able to do it justice. Kudos to each of you.
Let me see if I have this straight: This is a virtual choir? The five singers remain at home. They sing their parts, and the engineer Patrick mixes the music, so to speak, in the nave of Edington Priory, editing the parts to achieve the best blend? Wow. Is this a first? It works! Lovely, delineated harmony. Confident, inspired singing.
Thank you, Lloyd! The concept of the "virtual choir" is not new actually. Most notably, it was made famous by Eric Whitacre and has grown in popularity over the last years. (A search on RUclips for Whitacre virtual choirs will bring up several examples.) With the current technology, it is possible for singers around the world to now sing together in harmony and in spectacular places such as this beautiful church!
@@alqasar HO UN NOME SPAGNOLO PERCHE SONO SPAGNOLO, E SOLITAMENTE PARLO LA MIA LINGUA; MA VEDO CHE SEI ITALIANO, E TENTO DI PARLARE LA TUA PER FARMI CAPIRE DA TE. MA COME PUOI VEDERE, NON TI PARLO IN STRANIERO.
@@fernandohernandez550 muchísimas gracias, de todo corazón por comunicarte conmigo en mi idioma materno. A ver, voy a explicarte: en el título de este vídeo utilicé la lengua inglesa básicamente por dos razones: 1 el inglés es el idioma que más gente entiende en el mundo, 2 como puedes ver, cuatro personas más colaboraron conmigo y estas personas son de Estados Unidos, Escocia, Inglaterra y Australia, lugares en los que el inglés es el idioma oficial, así que bueno, hubiera podido añadir más textos en varios idiomas incluso el italiano, pero me dio un poco de pereza y lo dejé así ;)
@@alqasar GRACIAS A TI, POR EMPLEAR MI LENGUA PARA DIRIGIRTE A MI. SIN EMBARGO, PERMITEME QUE TE CORRIJA... LOS IDIOMAS QUE MAS GENTE ENTIENDE EN EL MUNDO, SON EL CHINO MANDARIN Y EL CASTELLANO. EL INGLES ES SOLO EL 3º. LAMENTABLEMENTE, LA CULTURA ANGLOPARLANTE HA TENDIDO SIEMPRE A ACOMODARSE A QUE SEAN LOS DEMAS QUIENES HABLEN SU IDIOMA, EN LUGAR DE SER ELLOS QUIENES APRENDAN OTRAS LENGUAS, Y PARECE QUE ESO ES ALGO QUE HAY QUE ACEPTAR SUMISAMENTE. YO, COMO ESPAÑOL, ESTOY MUY ORGULLOSO DE MI IDIOMA, Y ME ESFUERZO EN HABLARLO CORRECTAMENTE, PERO VALORO Y RESPETO MUCHO OTRAS LENGUAS, ESPECIALMENTE EL ITALIANO, QUE ES EL DE SONIDO MAS BELLO, Y ADEMAS HA SIDO SIEMPRE LA LENGUA DE LA MUSICA (ASI COMO DEL ARTE), Y CREO QUE DEBIERAMOS REIVINDICARLAS EN LUGAR DE DEJARNOS SUBYUGAR DE ESA MANERA. ES MUY TRISTE DESPRECIAR DE ESTA MANERA LO NUESTRO, CUANDO TIENE TANTO VALOR. COSA CURIOSA, ADEMAS: EL VIDEO ES UNA CANCION EN LATIN, Y EL ITALIANO ES LA LENGUA CUYA RELACION CON EL ES MAS DIRECTA. POR LO DEMAS, ENHORABUENA POR LA INTERPRETACION. ES PRECIOSA.
Is the soprano off of pitch? Or why find I her voice to be irritatin? Please don't try to answer unless you have a very good and precise ear thank you.
What a pleasure for my ears.

I remember doing this in my high school choir last year... this group did it ten times better that my choir could, I love this so much

I echo your words. Sometimes the great masters can send encouragement to us across the ages.

Stunning and Beautiful. A masterpiece by the composer, and the corroboration of these singers and their video/audio coordination and production.
Bravi! How beautiful. Beautiful music, beautiful performance, and beautiful video.
Beautiful voices, wonderful piece from my favourite composer Sweelinck 😍

What is the name of the church in the video ?
CARO SIMONE, SE SEI ITALIANO, PERCHE CAVOLO SCRIVI IN STRANIERO? FORSE PREFERISCI NON ESSERE CAPITO?
più o meno per lo stesso motivo per cui tu scrivi in italiano pur avendo un nome spagnolo

Which one is Mezzosoprano?
That would be me, the red-head. :)

Impressive, but the vowels are terrible.
Very good. Now go and study Torah not priest.
