paper kay - talent, maybe, but singing like this (read: “genuine singing”) takes much training, disciplined practice, and years of high level experience.
@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.
It's so heartbreaking to listen to good pieces on RUclips sound bad, so coming across this was amazing. I felt close to as moved as I could have been live. Thank you!
anything written by ola gjeilo is so amazing. i had the amazing opportunity to sing at carnegie hall with ola gjeilo and it was just such a surreal experience.
Isabella Lupescu i am going to a choral festival in prague in july 2021(postponed a year)and the sunrise mass by him is being performed. we will be performing rutters mass of the children though
This part 1:03 - 1:30 gives be the chills every single time. That harmony (or however it is called) between the soprano and low alto is so beautiful. It is as if the coolest gothic cathedral was transformed into a human voice.
Heaven probably sounds more Middle Eastern, considering Christianity is a Middle Eastern, Semitic religion, despite Catholicism's heavy European pagan influence.
OMG the dissonance at at 2:09 and the silence and the entrance at 2:19. Just makes my heart sing. The rests are oft neglected, but you did a beautiful job.
Exquisite. Close to perfection. They seem to have complete telepathy with each other. The soprano entry on "pulchra es' at 3:29, the most beautiful pianissimo. Words fail.
It feels that I spent my entire day listening to that music and I still have to go back to it. This is so amazingly performed. It has been a long time since I didn't hear such a marvelous, honest and touching performance.
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. Hearing this when we sang, and when our host choruses sang, was a heartbreakingly beautiful experience! We sang Ole Gjeilo’s ‘Seasons’, just amazing!
This is the best version I've heard. That suspension between 0:52 and 1:03 has me tearing up everytime!!! Vielen vielen dank Mädels, außerordentlich gut gesungen!!!!
In this crazy world we are living in there are just a few things left that can still make you proud for being human.. This is one of them! Thanks for upload.
The way your voices harmonize should be illegal, it's too beautiful!! I can't get enough of 1:05, the contrast between the highest and the lowest parts is too majestic. Also altos, your low notes make me cry every time, I'll never be able to sing this wonderfully ;D
Einfach nur wow. Danke an Marie und Viola, durch euch hab ich sjaella kennen gelernt und hab meine Liebe zu den Stücken von Ola Gjeilo entdeckt! Ihr klingt so unfassbar gut! Es braucht keinen großen Chor wenn jede Stimme einzeln sorein und klar ist und sich mit den anderen so harmonisch verbindet!
I am from Iran and this song has been one of my favorites for years. It's not earthly, it's divine. I want to immagine these transcendental voices would one day sing the hymn of freedom of Iran.
I support a charity which helps people to worship free from persecution, including those who have had to flee from Iran. Whatever your faith, may God bless you and bring freedom to your country.
They’re all so crucial to delivering this song so beautifully. But the last two holding that note and switching off without the note dying is on another level! Do they do concerts because shut up and take my money! 😅
Thank you for showing actual facial expressions! =D Too many ensembles sing beautifully but then look dead inside and that subtracts from their performance. Also, well done on this beautiful piece - you really did it justice.
As mentioned earlier in a post- That dissonant drop in the chord between 2:02 and 2:10- It just pauses time in the most beautiful way- That is precisely where my heart lives. I haven't heard that part pronounced quite like that by any other artists. Wonderful!
Erhabenheit ist ein Wort, das in der heutigen Umgangssprache offensichtlich nicht so oft verwendet wird. Aber hier passt es perfekt. Die Schönheit dieses Stücks, die Perfektion der Darbietung, die Schlichtheit des Ambientes, all das fügt sich zu einem erhabenen Ganzen zusammen. Danke, ich bin tief berührt.
Es ist zum weinen schön. Und jedesmal, wenn ich es höre denke ich, es sind Sphärenklänge...... Wunderbar arrangiert, mit hochprofessionellen Sängerinnen!! Danke dafür!! ❤️
The curtains separating earth from heaven open just a bit. A beam of pure light shines through, confirming that there is a marvelous reality beyond this realm.
Wow, I'm just crying my eyes out here. It went straight into my heart. I've known and loved this piece for a few years now, but this performance is absolutely beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful one I've heard.
Immer wieder und wieder muss ich dieses bezaubernde magische Stück hören. Es ist wie für euch geschrieben oder als hättet ihr es selbst für euch geschrieben. Jedes Mal bin ich wieder von jedem Ton hingerissen und staune und träume. Perfektion und Schönheit. Danke für dieses Geschenk an die Welt.
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.
Mehr davon! Bitte! Diese Harmonien! Wie viel Übung das braucht! Und solche Engelsstimmen! Ich habe es jetzt bestimmt 10 mal + gehört und erfreue mich immer aufs neueste daran.
Spectacular sounds - and of the highest quality. I am not sure if there is 'better than this' but it seems impossible to me. 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
thanks for your kind words! The sound engineer recorded the audio using two MKH 800 TWIN microphones. These microphones are known for their high-quality sound capture and versatility :)
Merci à Sjaella de nous offrir une aussi subime interprétation (la meilleure à mon goût !) de cette pièce magnifique ! Cette douceur ! Et quelle présence ! L'âme est touchée, elle se met à danser en dedans. Tout est dit. Je l'écoute en boucle...
that alto in white is really dropping it there :O amazing
Julian Hombrebueno what is her name????? :’(
@@zuzannapiotrowska9647 Helene Erben
@@stevenbauers51 is it the one in white?
Isn't the one in white the other soprano? Seems like sopranos are on the outermost edges.
Aldebaran I believe from left to right is soprano to alto
Holy cow!!! That alto 2 voice!!!!
She get the Low but brightly
@@by.syafwan3081 yes!
It's spooky how some people can sing. I can't even talk well, or even whistle. Like they have a whole extra set of lungs or something. It's magical.

That makes me feel good. Thank you.

The woman singing the tenor note, has my heart and soul.

WOW!! Lucky you!!!
Anyone else had tears rolling in the first opening line? 😭.. so beautiful and peaceful 💯💙🔥🙏
Si beau!
The first time I listen the SSAA version, it's so amazing.
every singer is killing it but the alto had me shivering
A reminder, that beautiful things exist, despite the efforts of some to pretend otherwise.
This part 1:03 - 1:30 gives be the chills every single time. That harmony (or however it is called) between the soprano and low alto is so beautiful. It is as if the coolest gothic cathedral was transformed into a human voice.
Northern Lights. My greatest discovery on RUclips since Voces8. This is a Treat.
I wish I could give this video 1 million likes
This reminded me of Narnia, such beautiful voices.
It reminded me of lord of the rings fir similar reasons 💓🤗
if this isn't what heaven sounds like i'm going to be so disappointed
It has to be better
Yes, it would be even better
Heaven probably sounds more Middle Eastern, considering Christianity is a Middle Eastern, Semitic religion, despite Catholicism's heavy European pagan influence.
@@sayckeone cool cool, middle eastern music is good too
I wonder is God a soprano or alto?
Ola Gjeilo must be so proud...
Now that is the pinnacle of twenty million years of evolution! The most versatile musical instrument ever. Beautiful. Thank you
I loved that the soprano & the alto is singing the same here 1:04
The Alto in white sounds amazing!
Alto pride!!
The final few measure with the sustained "pedal tone" as the outside voices come back in are absolutely chilling!
OMG the dissonance at at 2:09 and the silence and the entrance at 2:19. Just makes my heart sing. The rests are oft neglected, but you did a beautiful job.
YES!
it just sounds like a ringing in the ears! the animosity! make it STOP! DX
Those empty seats... I wish I was sitting in one of those to watch this performance live...
Exquisite. Close to perfection. They seem to have complete telepathy with each other. The soprano entry on "pulchra es' at 3:29, the most beautiful pianissimo. Words fail.
It feels like a liquid hug of honey around my soul. Thank you 😊😭
It feels that I spent my entire day listening to that music and I still have to go back to it. This is so amazingly performed. It has been a long time since I didn't hear such a marvelous, honest and touching performance.
I love how they are so confident in their parts that they can stand in mixed formation. It's heavenly and it's so moving for sure.

2:07 That harmony. I cried. 2:19 That perfect timing and jump of key, found by all of them to perfection. I sobbed.
This is the best version I've heard. That suspension between 0:52 and 1:03 has me tearing up everytime!!! Vielen vielen dank Mädels, außerordentlich gut gesungen!!!!
god, that high note at 2:00 almost brought me to tears. I love listening to this group sing so, so much

Para mí, la música es la prueba de que la eternidad existe.
Gracias por esta preciosa versión.
And each phrase a gentle shiver down my spine. I guess happiness feels like that. Thank you.
amazing😍
this is the best performance of this song to exist
I will never get tired of this
All credit to these performers for such a heavenly sound, but also to the architect of that church - what amazing accoustics!
Utterly exquisite.
And the search for better headphones begins after this masterpiece!
What a great performance. Not only in terms of musicianship - which was brilliant - but their technique is phenonemal.

The soprano and the alto has a perfect tone together when singing that unison part. Thanks, I love your rendition of this piece.

Me too, or at least in top 5 ever, just sublime
Still coming back here daily :)
Now I watch it here and listen to it on Spotify
Where has this been all my life? Stunning!
I am sitting here at work just in awe...i have never heard perfection before other than the cries of my daughters when they were born...amazing...
the sounds of heaven✨✨✨
Thsi is so well done! They make it seem so effortless but this piece is so hard breathing-wise!
Très belle interprétation de ce magnifique morceau qui nous vient de Norvège !
Wunderbare Musik und wunderbare Fruen!
Ethereal. Breathtaking. Haunting.
Superbe exécution à voix égales. Merci pour le partage et félicitations à vous !
I felt like I was transported to Heaven. My very core remembered the God I forgot in the noise. Amen.

This is otherworldly - fantastic job.
NO words Just tears of love
By far one of my favorite choral pieces... it’s so difficult in a chamber setting but WOW they killed it
