Absolutely Delightful. As a Scot lost in California, this music is life for me.
Scot in Vietnam here... agreed.
Wow! So so beautiful! Thankyou so much to all my fellow 'Stay at Homies', but especially to @Voces 8, @Stay ATHome Choir, and of course particularly @Jamie Wright and @Tori Longdon. Such a privilege to have taken part in this wonderful project. :)
Thanks for this . Born in Scotland but left 66 years ago . The blood stirs with this beautiful song =thanks so much .
When you're overseas and haven't been able to travel back to Scotland for a year due to Covid and you find this.....got me right in the feels.
I've known and sung along to this song for years, in a folk style. In 2019 i had my first and only choral experience performing "Candide" highlights with my father Ken (1938-2019, lifelong choral singer, my his memory be a blessing). This is an arrangement i wish i could've shared with him. Like the original, it brings me to tears, but the harmonies in this arrangement take me to new places, and make memories of home sweeter for the newfound distance and spaces between (which meaning of the song becomes all the clearer with life). Thanks to Dougie, Blake, and everyone who made this recording.
👏👏💚🎼💚🎼Thank you SAHC, Voces8 & Dougie Maclean! This was such a beautiful project to be a part of. Caledonia will live in my heart forever. 💚💚
absolutely breathtaking...thank you...just the soothing sound we Americans need right now
Listening to this was like hearing the voice of God! Thank you for this amazing work.
Really loved taking part. Thank you all at SAHC and the brilliant Voces8 for working with us. I managed to find my name & thumbnail too. A real positive from a strange upsetting time. I think we all found our own 'Caledonia'. I am sure Dougie will like it!
He gave it a pretty positive "shout out" during his 72nd "wee concert" online tonight before performing Caledonia in response to requests in view of the Scottish win over England at Rugby earlier in the day :-)
Music from Heaven! Caledonia always moves me as my heart is in Scotland but this... Bravo to everyone involved
Love the song. Love the arrangement. Love the singing. LOVE THE SIGN LANGUAGE! What a beautiful idea, and so excellently executed. This is art, too.
Hard to watch this without getting emotional... such an exquisite arrangement of Blake's and so deeply fulfilling to sing - and then to watch the magic unfold through the power of all voices together.... thank you Tori, Jamie and Voces8 for the chance to create this beautiful music!
Would bring a tear to a glass eye 😢. What an amazing version of this classic. 👌
Beautifully arranged and beautifully sung. More texture than most digital choirs, very rich.
Min 2:17 ; 3:16 that BASS wow 😳💪🔥
It has been a privilege to sing with the Stay at Home Choir and Voces8 in Caledonia. I look forward to the day when travel restrictions are lifted, and we can visit Caledonia again.
I have it on very good authority that the writer approves of your version of his masterpiece.
No wonder, this is simply wonderful, can't stop listening to it!
Beautiful! We all have a Caledonia somewhere. And now I really want to go to mine
Wow, what timing! Premiered just as Scotland beat England at Rugby!
Simply stunning-glad I got the chance to add my own voice to it. Be strong & have faith-our own personal Caledonia is waiting for us to return-and we will, with Dougie’s anthem ringing in our hearts!!
Traumhaft schöne Klänge!!! Grandios!!! Und auch noch mit Gebärden-Übersetzung - super!!!
So beautiful means so much. Hadn’t joined the choir then but our choir continues to produce amazing tunes. Thank you Tori and James who handle us all!
My son Romeo is part of this wonderful project I'm very proud of him
That did not disappoint, and was well worth the wait!! Bravo to the production crew, to VOCES8, and especially to Tori and Jamie and everyone at Stay At Home Choir!!
Exceptional ~ thank you Stefan for gifting me with it. bk
I am beyond proud to have participated in this project. Congratulations to every single person in this video, singing with you was truly a blessing and has brought tears of joy to my eyes! (and will continue to do so with every listening to this piece) Thank you to SAHC for the brilliant work that clearly went into this project! I may never express my gratitude in person to any of you but this recording is utterly STUNNING and will forever stay in my heart! Voces8, what can I even say, it has been the greatest pleasure of my life to sing with you and perform this piece. Thank you for allowing my alto line to soar with your beautiful voices in this online platform, this was an incredible experience!
My favourite vocal ensemble + my favourite song + the incredible group at the Stay at Home Choir + an arrangement that allowed me to sing in the lower tonal basement = It does not get any better than this! Thank you Stay at Home Choir
Still thrills me that I got to take part in a choir project with Voces8! You can spot my little square near the middle at about 4:40. 😀💗
Śpiewacie cudownie. Gratuluję z całego serca. Śpiewajcie jak najczęściej. Pozdrawiam serdecznie. PL
OMG what a stunning production, so moving - so very happy to have taken part in this project! Thank you Tori and Jamie and all at Voces8.
Interpreter is epic.
I just play this on a loop over and over again. Blake did an amazing arrangement, and with everything happening in the world today a brief emotional trip to another place and another time is so welcome!
My favorite of the 3 SAHC projects I've participated in. Kudos to Blake Morgan for this excellent arrangement.
Amazing! Thank you all for enabling us all to take part! Very emotional!
Being a part of this was a wonderful privilege!
Breath taking. Speechless. Thank You for sharing. A Beautiful tribute too
So proud to have been part of this project and selected for the small chorus ❤️❤️❤️

Came for the arrangement, stayed to watch the BSL performer and learn the signing for this.
Goosebumps...why do I feel sad but at the same time comforted. Salute to the conductor! Wish to be a part of this.
As a (strictly amateur) chorister, can't imagine anything more wonderful than singing backup for Voces8. Congratulations, Mr. Morgan, on your exquisite arrangement, beautifully performed.
Fantastic. Lovely to have been a part of this beautiful piece. Thank you SAHC ❤️
DIVINE BEAUTY - what an excellent mix and video nightmare this must've been to complete to this TOP OF THE LINE, SUPERB choral masterpiece. Each voice is so professional and trained, what can one say, except it's simply gorgeous.
Sooo beautiful! Thank you so much for that opportunity! I'm so proud of being part of that project and this community! ❤️
Wow, what an incredible project. Thank you to everyone who lent their voice. 🏴
Best choral piece of the past 20 years... easily!
So beautiful! Well done, all! This song brings a tear to my eye. 💙🏴💙
Very pleased to participate with all of the other members and esp. with the amazing Voces8. Thanks to all who worked on this!
Forever grateful to be part of this project and to sing this iconic song 💚 and to have been selected for the semi- chorus.
Have listened to this beautiful song and arrangement several times this past weekend. So peaceful
Definitely worth the wait......what a glorious sound. I feel just as emotional as when we sang it in our rehearsals with VOCES8. We were so privileged to have this experience. Thank you so much Tori and Jamie 🌹🌹

Beautiful, so delighted to be a part of Stay at Home choir in 2020-21
It was an honour to be a part of this! Simply stunning
I've never been to Scotland but I feel strangely, wonderfully homesick - how beautiful !
It was so wonderful to be a part of this! A Huge thank you to the Stay and Home Choir, VOCES8 and Dougie MacLean for lifting all of our spirits during a difficult time!
Truly the most beautiful song I've ever sung . . . stunning arrangement by Blake Morgan. So glad to have been part of this with VOCES8 and everyone in the Stay at Home Choir. Goosebumps viewing this. Very emotional. Hope it won't be too long before we can all go home to visit wherever our Caledonia is. Hiraeth am adref . . .
Absolutely beautiful!!!! Well done all of you!!
Oh my soul is in heaven! Thank you Voces8 with such a healing choice, and Jamie, Tori, and SAHC team for such a sumptuous feast to my ears! Looking forward to next projects!
Watching from Wyoming--What a Blessing--Thank You!
Yet another offering from VOCES8 making me intensely jealous. Thanks, JPR!
Loved participating in this amazing project! Definitely a 2020 highlight.
Wonderful! I love this song since a long time and now in these strange times it is so phantastic, what has come out of the creativity of people! Thank's for sharing it! I miss singing in my choire!!!
Oh my WORD!! This is stunning and breathtakingly beautiful. I am so proud and overjoyed to have participated in this project with all in this brilliant community, not least of which, the first SAHC project with my dear husband and teenage daughter. She is utterly SOLD on Caledonia and, as a violinist too, was so inspired that she is in the midst of transcribing Caledonia for violin with all 16 vocal lines! She will record each part and put it together when finished. This is what incredible music and this community does....it is a glorious, healing balm and inspires passionate creativity. Deepest gratitude to the blessed @Stay at Home Choir team and @Voces8!! You are AMAZING one and all!!❤️❤️❤️
That's awesome! Can't wait to hear it!
Thanks to all involved. This is beautiful. Well done voces 8 and stay at home choir. Stay safe and well 🙏 keep singing 🎶
This project has a big place in my heart 💕
