Absolute voices of angels. And you r right. They sound like a full choir. I have never heard anyone sing this more beautifully. I can’t stop watching and the last part of the song unbelievable.
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...
I didn't realize it until i've seen your comment. I mean we are a few black people studying classical music. We are at least... 6, 7 in my conservatory, for all the instruments. But never, and why do I realize it only now, never have I seen a black quartet.
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 💔.
What a beautiful song and last bit of sound to hear as she transitioned. These men did a fine job and very talented young men. I’m sorry for your loss especially on Christmas 🙏🏼
I am a 68 year old Black Catholic and this is one of the best versions of Ave Maria I have heard. I wish I had came across this video before Christmas 2023. I am listening to and discovered this video on RUclips December 27, 2023. This song always touches my heart and especially in these turbulent times with so much crime, hatred, war, and racism. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Black but not Catholic, and Ave Maria always moves me. Found this on 12/31/23. I agree about the times... There's a song from the 1960's that starts with something like "I am so weary..." I'll have to look it up. Otis Redding maybe? Blessings to all in the coming year.

I’m a music teacher and vocalist. This is by far the most unique snd sublime rendition of Schubert’s Ave Maria I’ve heard ! Intricate harmonies ....lavish legato ...shimmering trebles velvet bass .......Exquisite
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! You have a new super fan 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Sending Love from another who misses her father also. Whenever I miss him terribly, I go outside alone and talk to the stars. Today, I send Love to you and tell you, because your father can't, how proud I am of the woman you've become. May you find a small sign over the next few days, a sign from above, that immediately makes you pause, to let you know your father's spirit is still with you every day and that Love never dies, it only changes form.
@@smileawhile3788 hello Friend! So happy I got this notification.... YOU are my sign! I felt his love through YOU I know the holy spirit is working through you here you have given me a priceless gift today I am so grateful to you! I am sure your father is right next to you as well he must have been an incredible man to have made a daughter with a caring heart like you! Many Thanks and much love to you for your support and kindness today ♥️🙏🏻
MY GOD...there are angels. They met in a stairwell to sing the Ave Maria. For a few minutes, they gave my soul wings and let it soar toward Heaven. Magnificent!
Perfectly described my experience hearing this as well. I already have it in my "when I'm gone" book that this version is the one to be played at my funeral!
@@justyne8627 Amen! Looking that that may have seemed dark, mea culpa, I've been back at Church a year now after a 35 year detour. God is great, I must let a few more ppl know of the joy only He can give:) God Bless you as well!
@@raquelgarvin8391 - "Most blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy" (Luke 1:42-44).
This rendition of Schubert’s Ave Marie deserves a million likes. The acoustics in that stairwell are incredible. It sounds like a cathedral. And these four men have the voices of angels. Kudos to whoever among them did the arrangement. Let us all make a commitment in 2022 to build up and preserve civilization rather than tearing it down.
Oh my gosh!! This is the most beautiful rendition I think I have ever heard Of Ave Maria!! Brought tears to my eyes and gave me chills up and down my whole body absolutely gorgeous how beautiful those voices that God bless those young men with is amazing totally amazing!! Can’t wait what they put out next, totally beautiful!!! God bless them.
Yes!!! And I wondered, if in fact the harmonies were spontaneous - borne of that connection that happens when one makes music with other vessels being filled breath by breath with holy spirit.
What a complex species we are. We are capable of the worst types of atrocities against each other and animals. Then you hear this, and it makes you weep with joy. More of this please.
Agreed! What has become of humanity? Then you hear this beautiful piece. Since the Prophet Jubal was given the gift of music, music has brought another side to evil. ⛰🌲👨🌾🇺🇸✝️
This song is SO TIMELY for my family and I! My 13 year old sister has cancer, and Sunday I had gotten a call from my parents asking to gather all of my siblings to come and say our goodbyes… We prayed, we asked for a miracle, and here we are 5 days later and my sister has made a MIRACULOUS recovery and doctors are in AWE!
Anyone who's ever sung in a choir knows how hard it is to get a capella down without sounding forced. The synchronisation and blending is beyond words. I salute you!
I couldn't agree with you more! I sing 1st soprano in my chorus that I've been in for over 10 years. (I think I joined when I was 23.) So I've been in my chorus for about 13 years. However, I've been singing in some type of chorus since I learned how to talk. Singing A Capella is so difficult to do correctly without it sounding forced. These guys did a wonderful job!
I can’t stop listening to this. I went to Paris and took a day trip to Chartres Cathedral. I played this on my headphones as I walked through the church. Transcendent experience.
So refreshing to see four young men so talented and breaking with the customary expected roles for guys like this. I think most listeners don't know how long it takes to learn to sing in such tight harmonies unless they are singers themselves. I hope they continue as a group create such beauty again. and can
Me either. Normally I bypass videos and come back to them but this one gave me such an amazing feeling that I wanted to hear the song from beginning to end!!!!!!! Love their redention!!!!! 4 men sound like a full blown choir 4 real.
Although i believe in God, i do not have a religion. And i was never catholic but, the Ave Maria is the most beautiful hymn i have ever heard in my life. This rendition by these 4 angels in a fabulously acoustic stairwell will live in my memory always. I applaud you gentlemen. 👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏
4 angels singing! Baritone, tenor, alto and soprano, perfectly harmonized! This was simply BEAUTIFUL! And while not a black man myself. It's SO REFRESHING to hear something like this, than the rap/hip hop. Boyz 2 Men have NOTHING on you 4. The harmonizing was BEYOND ON POINT!! MUCH LOVE AND LIGHT GUYS!!!🥰😁
OMG, where has this been? These young men should be in tuxedo’s singing with symphony orchestras. Absolutely loved every second of this beautiful gift. ❤
It wasn't the stairwell that was incredible, it was the young men who sang that was incredible. God bless you guys for the blessing you gave all who heard you! Merry Christmas!❤
Bellisimo,Grazie a Dio ,from where are you guys ! What a gift from God ..May the good Lord bless you in your beautiful souls and for sure Mother Mary is very pleased to hear this Her Song,As we acclaimed of this song "Hail Mary",that's the meaning of the Ave Maria...
TY so much, I am Catholic and this was like stepping into heaven ...I closed my eyes to take it all in What gifts you gentleman have, You have made our Lord happy with this wonderous song honoring His Mother!
As an Italian woman I have heard this song in many different renditions this was beautiful. I applauded you with tears. You all did this song a wonderful justice thank you
@@johnsteven5544 freind, by "no words" in this context one means so wonderful that words cannot express the appreciation. Yes it is the prayer of Hail Mary...and more I do know that.
As a traditional catholic this was the best rendition of the Ave Maria that I’ve ever heard. This is my favorite song that always brings tears to my eye. I always place myself next to Mary turning the Crucifixion. Honoring her great sacrifice of watching Her Son being tortured and but to death for our sins. Pray friends, pray for the world. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts to the world. Absolutely beautiful!! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Hearing newer renditions of classical songs brings so much warmth to my heart. Hearing them with all male voices is the icing on the cake. I love this so much.
It is for times like this that I’m grateful for the internet…. I would not have had this opportunity to hear such angelic voices otherwise! Thank you! 💖
Just hearing this now. I'd like to wrap you up and give you to the world as a gift. Beautiful, soul soothing. You are what the world needs now. Amazing. Thank you. Thank you.
I sit here mesmerized and tears in my eyes. I am no less than AMAZED at these voices. These gorgeous young men singing in such unbelievable harmony. Gentlemen, thank you. Thank you. For while you sang, I felt like I was in heaven. Truly. So beautiful. So beautiful. So BEAUTIFUL! Absolute perfection. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Oh Geez, this is pretty special, congratulations to these young men for this incredible rendition. This beautiful song was the highlight of our Celebration of my Mother's Life.
The sound of "Ave Maria" being sung in 4-part harmony by these young men is a heavenly sound sent from our Lord and Savior to bless us and bring us peace through their angelic voices. Thank you, Lord.
I've always thought that when I go to heaven I will hear the Angels sing. But, I'm still on earth and I've heard the Angelic voices on earth. You all sang so beautifully it was my pleasure to hear you young men!! Thank you, ❤❤❤
Simply a beautiful and gorgeous rendering of a classic song in the tradition of the Catholics by 4 young back men. God bless you guys.Coup de chapeau a vous.
This is true ACAPELLA! No beats or vocal imitations of musical instruments. This is truly singing "in the manner of the church ", which is the translation of the word, acapella. Thank you for using your talent to praise God.
Absolutely the best version of Ave Maria I’ve ever heard. Normally it is sung as a solo at weddings and funerals. This is the first time I have heard it sung as 4-part harmony. It gave me chills. Superb job!
I love ave maria and moreso for the one offs I come across here and there, like this one. It was maybe a page in when I forgot what I was listening to because these guys are above that. Such a treat
Bravo! So special and you guys are obviously talented. I’m Catholic and this is one of my favorite hymn, thank you! Our blessed Mother Mary surely appreciates this from heaven to earth. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am at 82 year old Catholic Christian father of a very popular and well-known Catholic Christian singer songwriter Who sings the Ave Maria often. So I know what I’m talking about when I say what I heard from you the most beautiful rendition of the Ave Maria that I’ve ever heard. You actually brought tears to my eyes. Please, let’s hear more from you and God bless you and your family.
Truly kissed and blessed by our Lord ,God bless you and your families.keep spreading the Lord's message through the beautiful voices you have been given✝️🙏🙌🙌👏👏👏👏
I had put this on and went to the kitchen. I heard this and thought I was listening to a church choir. When I looked I saw 4 beautiful young black men singing like angels. They sang with such devotion. I’m trying to see through my tears to write this.
I"m a Catholic who has always favored this hymn. I imagine it being sung in heaven by the angels. It also brings me back to my father in Ireland who always sang it. Your rendition brought me goose bumps. Thank you so much for sharing - you made me very happy. :)
Aw Guys, it was like the stairway to heaven watching and listening. Thank you for sharing your blessed gifts with the millions. May God bless you and keep you all safe.
This is the best Ava Maria I have EVER heard and believe these young men deserve to be heard…Can you imagine how this would sound in a cathedral?….absolutely beautiful…
The human voice is, indeed, one of the purest sounds on Earth. By putting their voices together - in harmony - these 4 gentlemen have given us the most tremendous gift. Thank you, young men. ❤
This is the most beautiful version of Ava Maria i have ever heard. My moms favorite song. This made me tear up. Lost my mom in 2014 my best friend.You all are so talented. Thank you for your beautiful voices. So healing!!
Wow, 😍 the sound is so beautiful , and sung in Latin makes it even better !!! Bravo ,👍👏to these wonderful guys, they syntonized very well all together!! Great👏❤️
Brave beautiful men. Thanks for responding to God's calling to sing for Him. Such a blessing to hear you sing to Our Lady in such an exquisite way. May God bless you and allow you to keep bringing souls closer to Him.
Four singers that sound like a full choir.
An angelic choir.
Absolute voices of angels. And you r right. They sound like a full choir. I have never heard anyone sing this more beautifully. I can’t stop watching and the last part of the song unbelievable.
Can’t believe it’s only 4 people!!😮
yes
My thoughts exactly. These men are so talented!
Agreed
I'm a 70-year-old Catholic, and I've probably heard every version of Ave Maria ever recorded, but these four guys blew me away. They are incredible...
Amen!! ❤
You are so right. Most beautiful rendition I ever heard.
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.
Me, too: Catholic and almost 70. It gave me chills it was so beautiful. I'm sure our Mother loved it and smiled.
Same here.
Black men in a stairwell not doing drugs, thugging, nor wheeling guns, using fowl language nor abusing anyone but rather singing the most beautiful song ever written is a blessing to society! May they continue their talent of uplifting the world....so much needed. Blessings!!!

Wow!!! Isn't this just a GORGEOUS rendition of one of the most beautiful songs ever. These four gentlemen are amazing singers!
Wow!!! Four human men who sound like Angels. Beautiful.
Our Lord thanks you for honoring his mother so beautifully 💚💜🧡♥️💙
😊❤
Beautiful song and voices
I'm 68, raised Catholic, and this is the most beautiful version of this song I have ever heard! It brought tears to my eyes!
I am so grateful whenever individuals find one another to create such hauntingly beautiful harmonies. Amazing. Thank you.
Although i believe in God, i do not have a religion. And i was never catholic but, the Ave Maria is the most beautiful hymn i have ever heard in my life. This rendition by these 4 angels in a fabulously acoustic stairwell will live in my memory always. I applaud you gentlemen. 👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏
It is so beautiful. Bless their souls for let me listened to it❤❤❤❤
Absolutely beautiful! I'm Catholic and a true believer in Christ Jesus. Stay prayed up everyone. Now more than ever.
Yes, more than ever!!! Lots of bad things happening, wars, etc. But He has plans for us. I am a believer too!!!
One of the best versions of Ave Maria I have ever heard in my 50 years on earth. Brought tears to my eyes.
Thank you and God, that was so beautiful!
Please record and sell to your charmed listeners! ❤❤❤❤
My Mother requested this be sung at her funeral. I believe she is smiling up in heaven hearing this today. So beautiful !
My mother wanted this sung at her funeral, too. The man who sang it did it well, but this was just gorgeous.
It was sung at my Mother’s funeral, also.
4 angels singing! Baritone, tenor, alto and soprano, perfectly harmonized!
This was simply BEAUTIFUL!
And while not a black man myself. It's SO REFRESHING to hear something like this, than the rap/hip hop. Boyz 2 Men have NOTHING on you 4. The harmonizing was BEYOND ON POINT!! MUCH LOVE AND LIGHT GUYS!!!🥰😁
BEAUTIFULLY SAID !!! ♥️🤗
Agreed
Wonderfully said.
Why bring colour into it, we are all gods children.
Bass no baritone . Low low bass
OMG, where has this been? These young men should be in tuxedo’s singing with symphony orchestras. Absolutely loved every second of this beautiful gift. ❤
I think I like it better a capella in a stairwell. Even more mesmerizing and beautiful than with a huge orchestra.
Such beautiful talent! These 4 young men sang this song with such beauty and grace!
God bless each you!
It wasn't the stairwell that was incredible, it was the young men who sang that was incredible. God bless you guys for the blessing you gave all who heard you! Merry Christmas!❤
Bellisimo,Grazie a Dio ,from where are you guys ! What a gift from God ..May the good Lord bless you in your beautiful souls and for sure Mother Mary is very pleased to hear this Her Song,As we acclaimed of this song "Hail Mary",that's the meaning of the Ave Maria...
Right lol 😂
Yes a misguided caption for sure. The stairwell is but a stairway.
A stairway to heaven.
Stairway was to amplify their voices.
TY so much, I am Catholic and this was like stepping into heaven ...I closed my eyes to take it all in
What gifts you gentleman have, You have made our Lord happy with this wonderous song honoring His Mother!
Why we were born.
@@AnneSterling-jz9rs Amen Sister!!
Amen dear Nancy, beautifully stated❤️🙏❤️
Wow! Absolutely amazing. Great ! Time for America's Got Talent.
Forget the stairwell! These young men are incredible! Their musical accomplishment leaves me speechless.
As an Italian woman I have heard this song in many different renditions this was beautiful. I applauded you with tears. You all did this song a wonderful justice thank you
Hi my friend how are you doing today ☺️ merry Christmas 🎉😊
You do not need to be Christian or Catholic to find this very beautiful, which it is! No words. Moving. Wonderful!
That’s for sure!
So lovely to see black folks sing this not so easy schubert 's song! What a beauty !!!!! I was tired of raps.. breath of fresh air indeed❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍
No words? It’s the Hail Mary, friend.
@@johnsteven5544 freind, by "no words" in this context one means so wonderful that words cannot express the appreciation. Yes it is the prayer of Hail Mary...and more I do know that.
Indeed. Atheist here. Loved this.
These singers are good enough for any cathedral... beautiful absolutely beautiful x
who needs a female voice withthses guys. such harmony! thanks you for this!
As a traditional catholic this was the best rendition of the Ave Maria that I’ve ever heard. This is my favorite song that always brings tears to my eye. I always place myself next to Mary turning the Crucifixion. Honoring her great sacrifice of watching Her Son being tortured and but to death for our sins. Pray friends, pray for the world. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts to the world. Absolutely beautiful!! 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Lindíssima!😢
Lol, uou haven’t heard Pavoritti?
❤ que relato maravilhoso!
We, the world, have to be aware of it! Amén!!!!
So Grateful for these lovely voices praising Our Lady Mother Mary. 💙💜👑💙💜👑💙💜💙👑💙💜👑👑👑👑👑💙💜
I think Herr Schubert would be pleased with your beautiful arrangement. I can just see him smiling and grooving to the wonderful harmonies.
Hearing newer renditions of classical songs brings so much warmth to my heart. Hearing them with all male voices is the icing on the cake. I love this so much.
I’m a 60 year old Catholic and this is the most beautifully I’ve ever heard this sung! Please more like this from these gentlemen!
It is for times like this that I’m grateful for the internet…. I would not have had this opportunity to hear such angelic voices otherwise! Thank you! 💖
Amen Sister 🙏🏽
My thoughts, exactly!
AMEN 🙏🏿
💖💖💖
Just hearing this now. I'd like to wrap you up and give you to the world as a gift. Beautiful, soul soothing. You are what the world needs now. Amazing. Thank you. Thank you.
Wow!! The 1st tenor is incredible!😮. This was an absolutely incredible performance. Thank you!!😊❤❤
I sit here mesmerized and tears in my eyes. I am no less than AMAZED at these voices. These gorgeous young men singing in such unbelievable harmony. Gentlemen, thank you. Thank you. For while you sang, I felt like I was in heaven. Truly. So beautiful. So beautiful. So BEAUTIFUL! Absolute perfection. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
Absolutely.😭😢
Truly increidble. These 4 young men deserve a singing contract. Thank you for your rendition. Blessings.
❤
Brilliant!!! Such unearthly sounds from four amazing men! Brought tears to my eyes! 😊💚🇦🇺xxx
Oh Geez, this is pretty special, congratulations to these young men for this incredible rendition. This beautiful song was the highlight of our Celebration of my Mother's Life.
The sound of "Ave Maria" being sung in 4-part harmony by these young men is a heavenly sound sent from our Lord and Savior to bless us and bring us peace through their angelic voices. Thank you, Lord.
I've always thought that when I go to heaven I will hear the Angels sing. But, I'm still on earth and I've heard the Angelic voices on earth. You all sang so beautifully it was my pleasure to hear you young men!! Thank you, ❤❤❤
Well put 🎉😢
Simply a beautiful and gorgeous rendering of a classic song in the tradition of the Catholics by 4 young back men. God bless you guys.Coup de chapeau a vous.
Not at all what you'd expect to hear from these four dudes. I'm impressed.
This is true ACAPELLA! No beats or vocal imitations of musical instruments.
This is truly singing "in the manner of the church ", which is the translation of the word, acapella.
Thank you for using your talent to praise God.
Amen! Praising God!
Wow, I had no idea that was the meaning of the word Acapella. Thank you!
God bless these amazing men!
Absolutely the best version of Ave Maria I’ve ever heard. Normally it is sung as a solo at weddings and funerals. This is the first time I have heard it sung as 4-part harmony. It gave me chills. Superb job!
I love ave maria and moreso for the one offs I come across here and there, like this one. It was maybe a page in when I forgot what I was listening to because these guys are above that. Such a treat
Same here, such a harmony it is, too!
I know. This version would make even the worst skeptic doubt his skepticism.
Wow!!!! I thought I heard every version of this song. These gentlemen send it right to the stars. God bless them all!!!!!🙏✝️👍
Beautiful and totally worthy of Praise! TY! Praise God
The stairwell may have great acoustics, but the talent of these men is what makes this version phenomenal. Amazing!
My sentiments, exactly. The credit goes to these incredibly talented singers; not the staircase. Absolutely heavenly.
I echo your sentiments. These men are amazing. I am forwarding this to a friend of mine who is a wonderful baritone.
Just like a Concert Grand at Carnegie Hall, the Acoustic means nothing if the Talent is not there to bring it out.....Marvelous Singers
Bravo! So special and you guys are obviously talented. I’m Catholic and this is one of my favorite hymn, thank you!
Our blessed Mother Mary surely appreciates this from heaven to earth. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi Margaret how are you doing today 😊❤❤
Where are you from?
Absolutely amazing. Please never stop rejoicing in the Lord Jesus Christ. You sound like angels.
I had goosebumps and tears in my eyes as I listened. I've never particularly enjoyed Ave Maria, but this presentation was amazing!
I am at 82 year old Catholic Christian father of a very popular and well-known Catholic Christian singer songwriter Who sings the Ave Maria often. So I know what I’m talking about when I say what I heard from you the most beautiful rendition of the Ave Maria that I’ve ever heard. You actually brought tears to my eyes. Please, let’s hear more from you and God bless you and your family.
Truly kissed and blessed by our Lord ,God bless you and your families.keep spreading the Lord's message through the beautiful voices you have been given✝️🙏🙌🙌👏👏👏👏
I have to ask, who is it? I'd love to listen to them.
I would use a double thumbs up. They sound as I would imagine angels would sound. So incredibly beautiful. WOW
That's exactly what I thought! Like an Angelic Heavenly Choir!
These lads are heaven sent and heaven blessed . I'm a 71 year old Catholic from Ireland 🇮🇪
Absolutely breathtaking. Thank you gentlemen!!
How beautiful! This is for certain Our Mother loved so much you singing to Her. God bless you all 🙏📿❤️
Hi Cecilia 👋 how are you doing today and happy new year ❤🎉🎉😊

@ceciliaoliveira8481 Thanks so where are you from?
@ceciliaoliveira8481 thank you so muvh.. so where are you from?
I had put this on and went to the kitchen. I heard this and thought I was listening to a church choir. When I looked I saw 4 beautiful young black men singing like angels. They sang with such devotion. I’m trying to see through my tears to write this.
Me too... how beautiful!
They are making music that will make the angels happy! This is special and very enjoyable. Thank you to these young men.
Amazing
Breathtaking! May God Bless you and The Blessed Virgin protect you all, always! Viva Cristo Rey! 🥲❤️🙏🏻
I"m a Catholic who has always favored this hymn. I imagine it being sung in heaven by the angels. It also brings me back to my father in Ireland who always sang it. Your rendition brought me goose bumps. Thank you so much for sharing - you made me very happy. :)
It's like listening to God's angels singing to the Blessed Virgin Mary! Mama Mary and Catholics like me love listening to your voices. Great work!💖💖💖
Hi elenitap how are you doing today ☺️ ❤😊happy new year 🎉 🎉
Agree. We love our Mother Mary and indeed, these men carry her divine grace through their angelic voices.
Has to be what angels sound like! BEAUTIFUL!!
Aw Guys, it was like the stairway to heaven watching and listening. Thank you for sharing your blessed gifts with the millions. May God bless you and keep you all safe.
This is the best Ava Maria I have EVER heard and believe these young men deserve to be heard…Can you imagine how this would sound in a cathedral?….absolutely beautiful…

Fabulous job on one of the most iconic songs ever written. It is a true display of vocals. ❤
I am a previous choir person in catholic school and I have never heard the Ave Maria sung so beautifully..thank you for sharing...gave me chills...
I’m not catholic, but this is very moving. From 4 men, singing to the great Mother. ❤
Though not Catholic, it is absolutely wonderful that you addressed The Blessed Mother as The Great Mother. Thanks.
