Sorry I can't say the same for your punctuation. It's spelled 'its' without apostrophe, when used as a possessive. A kind of exception to the rule. I hope you don't use an apostrophe for plurals!
Diese Aufführung beinhaltet so Vieles: subtil den Byrd'schen Kraftlinien mit Freude nachspüren, sehr überzeugender Ausdruck innerer Bewegheit ohne falsches Pathos, einfach wunderbar, was für ein Geschenk an uns!
Has anyone else noticed that this video is beautifully edited to capture the entrances of different voices in quick sequence? So much better than simply putting the camera on random singers with no attention to the score!
It is lovely to see the faces close up as they enter, though I believe this may have been recorded separately and they are simply lip- singing their parts in the video.
You mean there's a video that goes with the song? I noticed that the sopranos were nicely balanced even in the forte sections and either weren't belting or were nicely edited.
Почти согласен. Когда слушаешь Берда, хочется думать: зачем после Ренессанса надо было что-то менять, если и так великолепно! ) VOCES8 желаем еще многие десятилетия такого восхитительного исполнения добарочной музыки!
Joy, Joy! Thanks, VOCES8. Just look at the fun they're having presenting this beautiful motet! Thanks, William Byrd. Love & joy to all. Our time here is so short. Let's get it where we find it. - Obscure choral singer
Indeed ! Flowing and soaking in the stream of such powerful heavenly harmonies dissipates that which is inharmonious (illness, fear, anxiety) and thus brings healing.
This is the only era of music that can soothe me when my soul is troubled. Like the musicians were speaking the language of the Holy Spirit... Does anyone suspect that we who love it so much had a past life in this era, likely as musicians?
Bet William Byrd wouldnt believe that such a wonderful choir would be singing his glorious harmonies almost 4 centuries after his death. Incredible performance. Incredible composer.
Überwältigende Interpretation... Die Überschwänglichkeit desTextes, vom Komponisten genial eingefangen, kommt duch das aufmerksame Miteinander des Ensembles hervorragend zur Geltung. Es bringt die rhythmische Vielfalt der Motette zum Vorschein und gibt ihr einen 'jazzigen Touch'. Die Krönung sind die lang ausgehaltenen Töne der hohen Stimmen!
I agree totally with what you said. The Renaissance was the era of Byrd and Tallis and the incredible Palestrina. They will live forever. .The glory of their music will never decrease Wow Thanks for listening. Had a few too many beers today ..Hope you are sober..Please don't reply.
Which renaissance in England? Everything was either stolen or copied. You have Byrd. Composer. One. Composer. Not style. Even baroque had to be bought from Germany and now real Handels name is forbidden from proper pronouncing all over England. No shame...no shame whatsoever
@@cetterusAre you serious ? English music had a considerable influence on Renaissance music. To begin with, English music familiarised continental ears with the intervals of thirds and sixths, which were considered dissonant elsewhere in Europe, in the Middle Ages. What’s more, there would probably have been no Guillaume Dufay nor Gilles Binchois without John Dunstable, so there would have been no Franco-Flemish school etiher, or it would have taken a completely different form from what we know. And have you listened to pieces from the Eton Choirbook? A number of typically English marvels that bear no resemblance to the continental music of the time. And I hope you’ll forgive me for preferring the master to the pupil, Tallis to Byrd. Or even John Sheppard, a very original composer : listen to his _Media vita_ (by the choir of Westminster Cathedral, my favourite recording) or to _A solis ortus cardine_ (by the choir of New College, Oxford). What you write about English baroque music seems to me to be a little more well-founded, but you forget, for a start, the influence of French music, which is much more perceptible in Henry Purcell than that of German music : the English baroque was not born with Handel or Mattheson.
I sit captivated as I listen in High-Fidelity Stereophonic sound. This is the stuff voces8 excels at. They make it look easy, as if they were just handed the charts and started singing. This is their meat and potatoes, their steak and gravy, their cake and ice cream. And they are having fun.
William Byrd has not had this much fun in a few hundred years. Incredible breadth of texture and delightful video production so beautifully highlighting the contrapuntal flows and hand-offs. Spine-tingling. And what signalled the cut off at the end? Pure magic.
Grandissimo. Liebe dieses „Lied“ und hab schon mal einen Vergleich verschiedener Interpretationen angestellt. Super Ensemble! So singen können ist großartig! 👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
Is it only me that praises this wonderful piece. You think it can't get any better and it does ,and that process continues throughout, and then the final 30 seconds open the tear ducts. A truly wonderful piece piece of Renaissance vocal music. If you go to my funeral it will be playing .Hopefully not for a few years yet .Thank you Voces 8 for bringing William Byrd kicking and screaming into the twenty first century.
Magnifica pieza, sólo hay que ver sus miradas y sonrisas para entender la enorme alegría y orgullo que sienten cuando cantan con esta perfección . Magnífico
How could something so wonderful be written when Shakespeare was in short pants. Answer . William Byrd. England's greatest composer of vocal music by a country mile Would have loved to have chatted with him.
Such extraordinary joy Byrd expresses while his friends are being hung, drawn, and quartered, and Byrd himself was under suspicion most of the time. Ah, the supreme joy of the Catholic faith, worth dying for a thousand times over! Not a nanosecond of depression, whatever may be happening in the world! Praise God!
This is one of the best VOCES8 videos and performances we have ever seen. Captured and communicated the spirit of the piece totally. Had both me and my wife in tears. Bravo! /RayK
Wow, wow, wow!!! This is as good as it gets! The blend is SO lovely! This will be on repeat for sure! Voces8 is the best I've heard! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent!
I see the same comment on every Byrd upload. Is this some kind of light Brexiting, or are there more famous peers of Byrd's that you find are unrightfully taking the spotlight?
@@fullmoonracoon9584 Yes. Everybody seems to know Thomas Tallis but far fewer have heard of Byrd. Of course, Tallis was great, but Byrd was at least his equal and it could be argued surpassed him.
I certainly agree. I've written a screenplay about Byrd's life and music entitled "The Harmony of that Heavenly City" (authors myself, Ruth Kastner, and my sister Judith Skillman). Can find it online in KDP. The soundtrack is great of course (all Byrd's music)
At times it's hard to believe this is four centuries old. It has so many modern sensibilities, especially the syncopation around the 3 minute mark. Also 1:35 WHAT
Magnificent! It simply does not get better than Voces 8. In my humble opinion, they are beyond comparison.. Thanks, Voces 8.
This piece is over 400 years old, and this is probably the most perfect performance in it's history.
I think so too. Incredibly beautiful. Song and performance!
*its history
I did not hear this 400 yrs ago -- But if anyone did this better, they were in the same class with gods.
Sorry I can't say the same for your punctuation. It's spelled 'its' without apostrophe, when used as a possessive. A kind of exception to the rule. I hope you don't use an apostrophe for plurals!
La modernidad es ESTO!!
Diese Aufführung beinhaltet so Vieles: subtil den Byrd'schen Kraftlinien mit Freude nachspüren, sehr überzeugender Ausdruck innerer Bewegheit ohne falsches Pathos, einfach wunderbar,
was für ein Geschenk an uns!
Most beautiful rendition of Psalm 150 I ever heard...
Wunderschön in allem. Alles Gute allen Sängern und Sängerinnen!
Voces8 always reminds me that I am vastly grateful to be alive in a miraculous world in which men and women can sing in harmony. Pure joy!
I discovered VOCES8 last month and cannot stop listening to them. So good for my soul! Massive blessings to you all!
Has anyone else noticed that this video is beautifully edited to capture the entrances of different voices in quick sequence? So much better than simply putting the camera on random singers with no attention to the score!
I love that they do that! My aural skills are not good at all, but if I know when and who is singing I can pick up the different lines more easily.
It is lovely to see the faces close up as they enter, though I believe this may have been recorded separately and they are simply lip- singing their parts in the video.
You mean there's a video that goes with the song? I noticed that the sopranos were nicely balanced even in the forte sections and either weren't belting or were nicely edited.
Ah, yes I just did and was also surprised by the excellent video capture. Very professional!
Yes, this is much better produced than some of the others, well worth the considerable effort required!
Renaissance choral music = the pinnacle of western civilization
Почти согласен. Когда слушаешь Берда, хочется думать: зачем после Ренессанса надо было что-то менять, если и так великолепно! ) VOCES8 желаем еще многие десятилетия такого восхитительного исполнения добарочной музыки!
I think that is the music period closer to the soul
So, you're saying that Western Civilisation has been going downhill for the past 400 or so years? You may be on to something there :)
Just about outstripped by Bach, for me. But not by much.
I love renaissance choral. It and the Baroque music are the pinnacle of Universe.
Joy, Joy! Thanks, VOCES8. Just look at the fun they're having presenting this beautiful motet! Thanks, William Byrd. Love & joy to all. Our time here is so short. Let's get it where we find it. - Obscure choral singer
Great music, wonderfully sung with a twinkle in your eyes - what more fun could there be than that?
There has never been and probably never will be a more sublime instrument than the human voice
A lot of health problems in our family right now. But this is healing and reminds me that I live in God's grace and love.
May God bless your family and give you hope and strength in the victory won for us by our Lord Jesus Christ!
Indeed ! Flowing and soaking in the stream of such powerful heavenly harmonies dissipates that which is inharmonious (illness, fear, anxiety) and thus brings healing.
And what an Almighty God we both have to have inspired such otherworldly music!
This is the only era of music that can soothe me when my soul is troubled. Like the musicians were speaking the language of the Holy Spirit...
Does anyone suspect that we who love it so much had a past life in this era, likely as musicians?
It also helps to salve the depressing news in Ukraine and the depressing evidence of the corruption around our bloated ex-president.
Byrd was an absolute boss. Great performance. Really enjoyed it.
Stai calmo. 😑
Don't keep calm. Just enjoy with every fibre of your body It is magnificent .
Voces8 is a group of angels that live with us.
This is just about the most perfect I have heard from this already perfect ensemble. Bravo. Wonderful, beautiful.
The complexity is amazing. I would LOOOOOOVE to sing this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Molly you look like you are having the best time ever and I love it!
Look att her at 2.34
They love what they are doing. It’s easy to love singing when you’re this good at it.
Bet William Byrd wouldnt believe that such a wonderful choir would be singing his glorious harmonies almost 4 centuries after his death. Incredible performance. Incredible composer.
…God is surely the great creator of all… He created heavenly voices like VOCES8…
Fantastic rendition!
Top class👍🇬🇧
When you think you have a favourite recording of this piece, suddenly this recording appears. Just perfect; clarity, transparency!
Tolle Präsentation des Musikstückes. Man spürt die Freude der Sänger*innen.
Sabia elección... insuperable interpretación, thanks
Exelente grupo polifónico. Voces limpias, notas perfectas. Que buena pieza coral. Felicitaciones. Les escribe un fan de Colombia.

Liebe Sänger.
Ich liebe dieses Stück und Eure hervorragende und sympathische Interpretation.
Grandios!

Byrd, Bach, they sadly never heard their works performed so very beautifully as this.
English Renaissance music is my favourite repertoire, and great performance, as always! Thank you very much.

I agree completely. What an incredible piece. I don't think you could ever hear a greater piece of vocal music. Bravo William Byrd..Bravo Voces 8.
I can listen to Voces8 for hours at a time. Actually, I have...rather often. The soprano's voice is absolute perfection.
A precise, nimble, joyous, and dancelike performance! Bravo!
Grandissimo. Liebe dieses „Lied“ und hab schon mal einen Vergleich verschiedener Interpretationen angestellt. Super Ensemble! So singen können ist großartig! 👍🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
Rediscovered Byrd after 40 years. Yum yum
Utterly stunning. What joy, angels dancing and the Lord's great smile over every nuance.
Pure genius. Bartók was mind blowing!
One of my favorite Byrds. Beautiful performance -- clear texture and great energy.
What a class act they are. They are magnificent, magical and sing like angels 😇. The soprano is something else. Thank you.

I bless the day I found this channel ♥️
Beautiful.
VOCES8 never ceases to amaze. We are blest by their gift to us.
What a way to herald in the new year. wonderful as always :)
That second to last chord… oh my heavens! Perfection!
Absolutely beautiful …..as pure as can be…RADIANT
This is a wonderful addition to the repertoire. I love the music of Byrd, and the performance here of VOCES8 is awesome! I love these folks.
Full of Light & Love - thank you! Blessings in abundance as we begin anew!
Magnifica pieza, sólo hay que ver sus miradas y sonrisas para entender la enorme alegría y orgullo que sienten cuando cantan con esta perfección . Magnífico

The energy and mischief of Byrd escapes so many singers, well done on an accurate and intelligent interpretation!
Amen! I can't wait to hear what Byrd has been working on all this time.
Those endless waves 🌊 of imitations are so incredibly beautiful!
Utterly gorgeous! God be praised! 🙏🏼
AMEN!!
Wow, great 🎉❤
Voces8 dank jullie voor dit heerlijke sprankelende begin van het nieuw jaar.. Heel mooi en met zoveel plezier gezongen ♥️
I am just overwhelmed by the joy in it, they all seem to be so lucky singing this. So joy has the benefit that it can survive 400 years.
Such extraordinary joy Byrd expresses while his friends are being hung, drawn, and quartered, and Byrd himself was under suspicion most of the time. Ah, the supreme joy of the
Catholic faith, worth dying for a thousand times over! Not a nanosecond of depression, whatever may be happening in the world! Praise God!
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ, king of endless glory! 😊
What fun you all had, and we who listened! Blessings and thanks,
I can't think of a better way to ring in the New Year than this! Thank you @VOCES8 and may your 2022 be as joyful as this motet.
Dear Voces8 What a fantastic release out of gloomy lock downs! Thanks again for sharing joy.. From Amsterdam with LovE
merci de nous abreuver de votre magnifique musique et de votre joie
William Byrd just sat up and said, "That is what I heard in my head!"
This is one of the best VOCES8 videos and performances we have ever seen. Captured and communicated the spirit of the piece totally. Had both me and my wife in tears. Bravo! /RayK
I keep coming back to listen to this. It is absolutely wonderful. Perfection.
The way that last measure resolves into the final chord is heavenly 😇 So well balanced, every voice soars. It brought tears to my eyes.
Too marvellous for words. Perfect. Thanks for making it available.
What a wonderful, wonderful sound 🎼🎵🎶
As always perfect performance of this magnificent group of singers.
That last chord! … I wonder if Byrd even imagined his music being sung so beautifully!
Wow! Magnificent! Thank you so much 🌷
Belle interprétation enjouée et pleine de vie ! Bravo 👍
Thanks for this beautiful performance! It's a good way to start the year 💪🏽🥂
Soaring, joyous, beautifully textured and controlled…perfect.
Wow, wow, wow!!! This is as good as it gets! The blend is SO lovely! This will be on repeat for sure! Voces8 is the best I've heard! Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent!
What a closing cadence! 😊

Just absolutely incredible - Loved this
Fantastic performance of a beautiful piece. All the best for 2022.
The Best.
Wonderful, as always with this group.
Oh boy was that good or what..fantastic just what I needed thx
Sensationally sung! And what a great piece!
...very elegant !
Beautiful New Year's Day present. Thank you!
At times it's hard to believe this is four centuries old. It has so many modern sensibilities, especially the syncopation around the 3 minute mark.
Also 1:35 WHAT
Awesome group ! Great to see the lyrics here .
Simply wonderful!!!!👏👏👏
Another towering performance from my favourite soprano.
Oh, how sublime!
Wow!! Bliss. Just total bliss. Thankyou. 💛🎼⭐️
Just wonderfully sung, there is perfection, dare and joy.
A wonderfull start of 2022! Blessings to the new year from germany 😊
🕊🌟🕊
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL

Só perfectly balanced, it sounds out of this world.
Superb singing with dynamics.
One of my all-time favorite pieces. Masterfully performed.
