I am so humbled by this incredible performance of my composition. Thank you Stellenbosch University Choir and Maestro André van der Merwe. You inspire the world with your sublime sound and musical sensitivity. I thank you deeply!
Sublime. Mon Dieu, que c'est beau ! Et qu'ils sont beaux tous ces jeunes, réunis dans la musique, Noirs et Blancs, dans une RSA réconciliée. J'ai pleuré en écoutant cette version...
Unbelievable..the execution was not only accurate for pitch, but also for the intention of the prayer...I am a musician as well as a Catholic priest so I appreciate twice what was sung and composed.
Utterly sublime -- a touch of heaven. Thank you, Stellenbosch for sharing this grace on the weekend when the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated.
@@markwisler9846 but the song title in English is 'hail queen'. I'd be interested to hear what you feel is Maries place in your religion if you have the time to write back.
@@juliesomethinorother we don’t worship her, but she is greatly honored as the mother of God (Theotokos). As for the “queen of heaven” title, in ancient Israel the kings mother was the queen. So in accordance with tradition we believe God crowned her after her death.
and this boys and girls is why we should sing without using sheet music...no heads stuck in the pages and just pure concentration on making the M U S I C
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.
One of the things that strikes me most whenever I listen to you all is the purity of your voices. Individually you must all be amazing singers, but together you reach an even higher level of soul-touching beauty. If ever you're back in the UK, I really hope I can listen to you live!
Had the fortune of hearing his Vox chamber choir at a competition last year where they performed with his pieces :) remember thinking that they would be fun to sing!
Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae: Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii Hevae. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia ergo, Advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis, post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens: O pia: O dulcis Virgo Maria.
I'm part of a choir(soprano 1)but if I'm gonna sing this, I don't think I'd be able to sing it well bcos I'll just cry the whole time singing it. This is such a very beautiful composition of Franco Prinsloo and it describes very well the beauty and grace of our Blessed Virgin Mary😭😍
How many voices do u sing in this choir I really want to knw Am from Uganda and would really like to come to stellenbosch for University sing am completing my A level nxt year
The choir, so diverse, yet perfect unity. The piece, magnificent. The sound, other worldly. The experience, an absolute privilege. Dankie Franco! Dankie André! Puik!! 👌🥂
Just a tease of the sounds of praise we will hear for all of eternity... In the world to come! How talented and thank you ever so much for sharing! I’m sure every note was heard!
Masterpiece ❤ Your voice dynamics and harmonies are incredible! Listening to this song was the first time when I feel the presence of the Virgin Mary so strongly...beautiful, beautiful. Thank you! I'm really looking forward to hear from you more. God bless you!
Such balance, such involvement of every choirist in every note, such leadership, such repertoire.... Thank you Stellenbosch... thank you for the magic!!
This is a beautiful choir rendition of a stunning version of Salve Regina. I find myself going back and listening again and again. It is uplifting to my soul.
Absolutely incredible. A purity of sound, of harmonious symmetry. Beautiful composition and truly memorable. I'm listening in silence with tears of awe and joy.
I listen Salve Regina, always anytime of the day...it uplift my spirit and i feel light at the end of the day... As if i am lifted by so many angels to a beautiful journey...❤🇵🇭
Beautifully sung, with harmonics that bring us well and trully into the XXI century. Thank you to Franco and the Stellingbosch University Choir. Their quality is amazing and great ambassadors for SA and Africa
but my brother never praid to maria. catholics say always and talk about mother maria, in bible she sont want him. so religion no matter. we are christ, and thatd important.
Que hermoso, que puesta en escena tan limpia y angelical... he visto todos los videos y todooooooooos son maravilloso, pero este es el que más me gusta y lo escucho todos los días para comenzar mi trabajo. Son Excelente.

O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Absolutely sublime music. And on every singer's face, you see they are almost in another realm. Music is the magic we need to transcend the problems of our troubled world.
Hail Holy Queen hail our life our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry poor banished children of eve, to thee do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in the vale of tears. Turn then most Gracious Advocate thine eyes of Mercy towards us and after this our exile show unto us the Blessed Fruit of Thy Womb Jesus. O Clement O Loving O Sweet Virgin Mary. Salve Regina!
I've never heard this piece before. It was so intricate, powerful, exquisite and beautifully performed! I cannot put it into words how magnificent this choir sounded and how powerfully musical this performance was!! Wish I could of seen it in person! I am in complete awe of this masterpiece !!! Thank you!!
Franco writes such beautiful music. I really wish we can hear more of his work. Well done Stellenbosch Choir for this wonderful performance of an amazing composer's work.

Kindly, share the music sheet please. @kyalondunga@gmail.com
sounds like paradise! thanks

The most beautiful prayer for our mother to all that I have never heard. May God bless you and grant you his grace !
Tears. Tears. Tears.
The best decision I've made in University was auditioning for this choir.
God Bless This Choir
You sang with this Choir? Lucky😌
Amazing voices. Be part of this choir must be a joy.
Congratulations for the excelent interpretation.
@@chideraebube4120 I could not agree more
LuthandoSiboyaVEVO it was the best experience to sing next to you, brother❤️
@@Serfie23 ❤️ man you're one awesome human
When our Blessed Mother is being honored there are angels swirling about. I wonder if they felt them. I did!
❤

One simple word “beautiful “ thank you and many blessings!
Utterly sublime -- a touch of heaven. Thank you, Stellenbosch for sharing this grace on the weekend when the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated.
I have listened to this hundreds of times. What a beautiful performance. ❤❤❤❤
Salve Regina !!
I'm moslem, and by this human choir i respect and pray for marry, the mother of Isa ( Jesus ) ..
Best Human Choir ever ..
I’m a Christian not a Catholic so I don’t worship mary, but wow it’s so pretty
I haven’t listened to many choirs so I don’t know much about them but yeah I think I agree - best human choir ever.
@@juliesomethinorother just humbly letting you know that Catholics don’t worship her either

I agree with you. From New Zealand

I don't know about other countries. But in South Africa most choirs learn music of by heart. It feels weird paging through music while singing 😂
@@gomolemomokgatle7161 a lot of people use music when singing major works
I prefer not to use it and colliewollie comment is dead on.
Music like this nourishes our impoverished souls.
What men and women can do with the expression of their voices is truly amazing.
Praise be to God!

The harmony, the balance, the contrasts, the subtlety, the control... Out of this world
This choirs tone and sound cant be beat. Bravo!
What I wouldn’t give to hear this choir perform live. I have fallen in love with their sound from half a world away ❤️
I literally was saying the same thing.
Stellies never disappoint. I am here always as soon as i receive the notification. And today is a Sunday. What a great song ..Much Love
Pięknie, świetnie, brawa! - Baie mooi!

By far my most favorite song I've sung! Wow. From a South African composer Franco Prinsloo❤️
Had the fortune of hearing his Vox chamber choir at a competition last year where they performed with his pieces :) remember thinking that they would be fun to sing!
Is this version's score done by a South African? Had heard Salve Regina before, but not this version.
@@hildebergman Thank you so much! This performance by Stellenbosch is so very moving!
@@petersholle823 Yes, this is my setting of the text.
How sure are we that this choir is an ensemble of humans?? They have been surely sent by God to bless us. Tears everytime? I'm tired of crying
surely it's the Divine that rides on this choir

what otherworldly gift is this middle part for our ears??? floored.
Where is this score published, for crying out loud??? A masterpiece. And these kids... They bring me tears everytime I watch.

Lindos!!! Maravilhosos!!! Parabéns!!! Beijos do Brasil 🇧🇷💋♥️
This should be played on the last days of earth to soothe our souls 🤍
Heavenly, Healing ..... and so good for the soul. Thank you.
