      I'm not even 30 and I feel the responsibility to say this does not compare very well to the unbelievable polyphonic Ave Maria arrangements out there. Not that these guys did poorly, but when you're gonna bring in "every version of Ave Maria ever recorded", then, well this is a necessary footnote.

    I am an 84 year old Indian woman who loves all types of music….religious, profane, classical and pop, western, Indian, African, whatever.
    I am not a Christian or Catholic , but studied most of my life in Convent Schools. And hence learned and sang hymns …including Ave Maria, one of my favourites.
    This rendition is special, soul stirring and deeply emotional. My husband , who passed away two months ago, would have loved this….wish he could have heard it….maybe he is listening wherever he is. Thank you young men for making time stop and giving my soul some meaningful time.

    I read about 20 comments and figured since no one else addressed the elephant in the room I would do it. And please, no haters, ok? I mean all of this with all of the respect in my heart for these gentleman and my love for them taking the time to learn the song and do such an amazing job on it. As a 68 year old Black singer, I was a member of the Barbershop Quartet Society for about 15 years. Their style of music has never been very popular among young Black men, so I know something about "singing something different". I just wanted to say how absolutely REFRESHING it was to hear four young very talented Black men singing something classical and doing, as I said earlier, such an amazing job on it. I literally had tears in my eyes listening to this and that rarely happens. I wish we could get more young Black people, men and women, interested in this type of music rather than the rap and hip-hop that in my opinion, has been a major factor in glorifying thug life, street life, and disrespect towards women in the Black community over the last 40 years.

      I could not agree with you more, and I think it is wonderful to see these young men singing something so beautifully that seems "out of character"... It should not be that way, and I hope that more young people (black or any other color, race, or creed) will discover the beauty of classical music... One only has to look at East Asians for groups like Bach Collegium Japan or performers like Lang-Lang and others to know how universal western classical music is...

    Today is Mother's Day. My mother died on Christmas night 2023. She was in hospice care at a local hospital. I was binge watching hospice care videos on RUclips when this music video appeared. I played your music video and held up my phone to my mother's ear , even though she had been unconscious since December 21st. When this song ended I turned off my phone because it needed to be charged and I walked over to a chair to get my purse. A hospice care booklet was given to me by one of my mother's hospice care nurses and I wanted to reread it. This is when my mother's hospital night nurse walked in to tell me she had been informed that my mother's vital signs had completely stopped. I turned my phone back on. It was 10:49 PM. Eleven minutes before 11:00 PM. The very last sound that my very much beloved mother heard was your heavenly beautiful voices. Thank you , gentlemen 💔.

    Never in my life have I been able to listen to this song because it was played at my father's funeral in 1970 when I was 5 years old. I immediately turn it off whenever I see it anywhere. Well today this mysteriously popped up in my feed. Been thinking about my father a lot lately and wishing I had him here to talk to and love me. Listening to this is what I imagine it must feel like to be sitting next to God and Heaven, this is the first time I could ever listen to this all the way through and appreciate it for what it is. What a gift you have given me today! This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard in my life, I love all of you for this, you have given me an enormous gift today and I thank you for that!
