      @paper kay, on youtube, insta or any plattforms you will often find perfect moments, filmed many times and cutted perfectly. but its hard work (filming and performing)! this group exists for 15 years, so they had a long way with performances and training and studying music and singing.

      singing is legit a fitness thing! a lot of it comes down to having enough air so you're never struggling, which means you need good lung capacity and good breathing technique. I even have to watch when I eat, so that my stomach isn't too full or too empty, otherwise my lungs don't expand as far! (I'm not a professional or anything lol, just studied a little bit of music + in a student choir)

    The moment they sang their first note, I was completely enchanted at how incredible, almost angelic, their vocals are... never have I imagined that it is possible to be controlling ones vocals like that... I ended up listening 3 more times... great job ladies... wishing you all the best from Singapore...!

      Same. Having listened to a lot of choral music over the years and sung in a few groups myself, I've come to appreciate how there is an additional dimension to a vocal group which is not just talent, practice and skill, but the selection and matching of the members' voices to each other. You can have two people with amazing, brilliant voices, incredible talent and skill, and vast experience, but their tones might just not match. This group is exception not only for their performance but for how well they've matched their voices.

    I just got back from a tour with the Norwegian Ladies Chorus (Sons of Norway Leif Erickson Lodge). The beauty of a capella singing like this is being able to tune each chord to perfection.

    This amazes me on so many levels. Just how beautiful their voices work together - each and every one pronounced and strong, but so gentle at the same time and interwoven. Sometimes i hear clerically inspired pieces like this where even a soft sopran comes through so much stronger and everything else gets toned down to very pleasant noise. The clarity is beautiful and I enjoyed looking at the expressions of the singers. Thank you for this video and sharing such a beautiful version of the song.

This is absolute perfection - and validation is the emotional response to the sounds. I would love to see what type of microphones were used -and where the sound engineers placed the microphones. The building has its own acoustics and the search for that 'perfect' spot must have been challenging
