The blonde woman has that amazing Nordic tone to her voice and the tall woman is quite remarkable as well. Voices that for my money would surely reach all the way to heaven!
Sam: "..folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something." Frodo : "What are we holding onto, Sam?" Sam : "That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for."
No matter how many times I listen to this, I'm still astounded by the clarity, presence, and purity of your voices. I use a lot of your videos to show my school choir what voices can sound like and as an ideal to aim for in shaping sound and blending. Our choir was working on this piece when schools closed and I'm very disappointed they won't get to sing it this year. Every time I listen to this now I think of my students and miss them more... so many memories and emotions attached to this song now.
Jordan Wollf so sorry your choir couldn’t finish this piece and perform it. It’s such an emotional piece, and I can understand why it would now be even more so. ♥️
I feel that with so many pieces now. I am part of the college class of 2020 and we were working on a number of pieces too when the unthinkable happened. I cry just thinking about how close I was to walking the stage. I got my degree in the mail today, but it doesn’t feel the same.
This is not about one voice over others. This is about vocal harmony and colours. Each is necessary to achieve the result. When you sing in a choir, U know it. 🙂🥰
It's about the ensemble, but there's nothing wrong with giving credit where due. Voces8 is made of all exquisite voices. However, when I listened to this the first time and Andrea sang her first solo line I got goosebumps. A truly rare gift. Nothing wrong with appreciating what she's blessed with.
I'm brought to tears. I just sent my Daddy onto the next phase of his journey six days ago. I hope he can hear this - wherever his light may be flying.
I don't know why but reading this today pushed me over the edge and I'm sobbing. I hope you're doing ok today. I lost my dad in August of 2018, and... Well. I know how it can be.
Hey dear @Megan Parker I just read your Comment and I want to say: Send some Love to you ❤ I lost my Mum in 2018... what an Awful year... I hope you doing ok? I wish u the best.... from Germany with 💙🌹
The first soprano starts, blows my mind, then the mezzo soprano has her verse and I'm thinking, jesus how can this get better, then the warmth of that bass line kicks in and I literally just stop thinking and experience the rest of this majesty. Incredible.
To me, this sounds like musical perfection. The voices are pure, without vibrato, in just tune, perfectly in tune, changing exactly together, and yet, in emotional sync. It is as if eight have become one, and with one mind, without equivocation.
My Mom passed away 3 weeks ago followed by my Dad passing away 2 weeks later. It has been an emotional month and this video has helped me cope with the loss. I love you Mom and Dad.
My heart goes out to you! This comment floored me because I lost my mom in 2020, and you saying "I love you Mom and Dad" was the icing. May God be with you :)
True genius is making it seem easy no matter what you're doing. VOCES8 is an astonishing ensemble, creating such a tone with no apparent effort. I've been a professional musician for most of my 60 years, and let me tell you, what this group does is off the charts in difficulty. All we can do is sit back and enjoy the bounty of their talents.
The Lord of the Rings movie trilogy and even The Hobbit have left us with a rich legacy of music and movie scenes beautiful to behold. Thank you Peter Jackson, Enya, and Howard Shore. This rendition is a joy to listen to.
I've been a signer all of my life. With perfect pitch I can appreciate the sound you are producing. I usually compose the music as it is sung and come up with part that is not written. Voces8 is different. It is perfection, particularly with the voice mix that includes the three women. The compositions are flawless. The best blend of voices on the planet. The best bass I have ever heard.
This video ladies and gentlemen is the reason why RUclips was created. It’s one of those that you’ll remember forever. I guess that’s how angels sing when a good soul dies . Beautiful it surely is.
I have sung chorus professionally and as soloist for many operatic productions in the United States. I've moved on from that career but have longed to belong to a group like this, making harmony with true professionals and music that stirs the soul. I want this. Again.
When my brother died, this was my "song/prayer" for him... guess I can't really call it a formal psalm, but it really was my heart-song for the loss, what I tried to send for him. It's hard to explain, but in singing it, it felt like he also sent the same sentiment back to me. It's a long life, to carry grief all your adult days, all the way through life. I know I'm not the only one. Hope this song helps anyone in grief in their healing and holding the strength to carry on, and enjoy the joy of life. Just as our loved ones would have wanted.
There is something so ultimately powerful about the human voice in its purest form. I become an absolute blubbering mess each and every time I listen to this performance.
There’s a lovely story on what came first, the musical note, or a human singing voice. I imagine it’s that lair where divinity touches humanity. Imagine being the first humans to sing and then align to a sound they feel throbbing from within. To match a tone of this deep mighty presence. To then flash forward where those have passed it on, and schooling and academia became part of it and now it’s a mastery. I agree. The human voice is probably thee most touching instrument or power. It’s inexpressible.
This is so unbelievably gorgeous, it just makes me forget that the world is a dark cruel place, and that there is hope... Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Love in all its manifestations conquers evil, because it is the creative force. Fear not. It is the way the universe is constructed. The greatest challenge is to respond to those in fear ( of losing power over others) with love. This is not approval of their actions, but recognition of the broken place it comes from - a wounded human who feels unlovable. If you can, send them love and compassion. A wise friend once said, Minds don't change minds - hearts change minds.
That blending that Eleonore and Andrea do, where it's never clear when one takes the note over from the other, is a level skill well beyond standard professional ability.
Oh My!!!!!! Huge Enya fan here and this is Just..... I am crying!!!! So BEAUTIFUL AND HEAVENLY!!!!!!! I am so thankful that I came to know this band today!!!!
I found something just the other day you might want to hear. I think it is the best "Flower Duet" I have ever heard, where the soloists are actually MESHING beautifully, rather than trying to crush each other, as I hear many other even world class soloists doing on this exquisite piece of music.. I put you in at the beginning of the duet, for a quick dip, if that is all you (or anyone else) might care for. If you choose to listen, I hope you enjoy it: ruclips.net/video/C1ZL5AxmK_A/видео.html
I started listening to this on loop when the pandemic hit. It was a bleak time. This song kept me gong. I can’t believe it’s been 4 years. It feels like a dream.
I've been emotionally numb for weeks, thinking that looking back at old choir music would make me feel better and I ended up on this video. What a blsssing this group is, and the moment that soprano sang, I had chills and started tearing up. Didn't expect that today. Thank you for sharing your beautiful gifts with the world.
I feel blessed to have been born in the small slice of the vastness of human history that witnessed LOTR on the big screen. It remains without peer in the fantasy genre.
Here are the lyrics May it be an evening star Shines down upon you May it be when darkness falls Your heart will be true You walk a lonely road Oh, how far you are from home Mornië utúlië ((darkness has come)) Believe and you will find your way Mornië alantië ((darkness has fallen)) A promise lives within you now May it be the shadows call Will fly away May it be your journey on To light the day When the night is overcome You may rise to find the sun Mornië utúlië ((darkness has come)) Believe and you will find your way Mornië alantië ((darkness has fallen)) A promise lives within you now A promise lives within you now
Pure perfection. Round notes and vowels with clear pitch. All 8 of you really listen to eat each other for that perfect blend. Love the crescendo and decresendo at the beginning especially although through more predominant at the beginning. This too was one of my fav movies, soundtrack, and song. I remain your devoted admirer and humble friend.
@@travilane yes I do mind when asked in that manner. I "think" it would be more enjoyable discussing with a baboon what it means to be human. Is this the sort of "discussion" you were looking for, or would you care to couch the request more courteously?
i get stuck in time where time stood still for more than 3 minutes listening to this.. and i just travelled so far... in so many years.. amazing voices amazing rendition
@@jovetj I really enjoy Enya, and in particular her songs of Celtic or Latin origin. Her vocals seem more delicate because they are multitracked. Different than here, but still wonderful. These voices are astounding, and their interpretations respectfully stand on their own.
I first heard this version.. as it randomly shuffled on, when I reached the peak on this wintery mountain.. storming of a day. But the sun broke through for a mere moment and when the ladies harmonized is when the sun kissed my face. I felt something inexpressible that day and this track easily became my favorite. I always was a LOTR fan but I never heard this pure choir version before and I felt I died and was reborn. It was a lonely journey but I felt for that moment I was not alone.
May it be an evening star Shines down upon you May it be when darkness falls Your heart will be true You walk a lonely road Oh! How far you are from home Mornië utúlië (Darkness has come) Believe and you will find your way Mornië alantië (Darkness has fallen) A promise lives within you now May it be the shadow's call Will fly away May it be you journey on To light the day When the night is overcome You may rise to find the sun Mornië utúlië (Darkness has come) Believe and you will find your way Mornië alantië (Darkness has fallen) A promise lives within you now A promise lives within you now
I think the crescendo is really around the 2:30 mark. The whole piece is incredible, but at the 2:30 mark, it just ascends to the heavens. I would love to hear this live. I bet you could hear a pin drop at the finish, right before the crowd burst into applause.
Me too. It's like a massage to my nervous system, which leads to this tearful release. Just such a well written song, and Voces8 just excels at everything they do 😂❤
Greetings from South Africa, tearing devine voices, well blended. Every part displaying it's talent to the fullest. The baritone incredibly deep notes as if from the stomach. Magnificent
It's 2024, and I've just stumbled across this video and I am just floored by how beautiful this was to listen to. I've had a rough couple of weeks, but this song made me feel comfort which is something I've needed.
Great, crystal clear female voices that can hold a pure note without the wrecking ball of vibrato spoling it. Rich lower register male voices too. Very nice

Thank you for the right music to send to my cousin who was dying of cancer in Portugal.
As close to perfection as you will get on this side of eternity.

This is not about one voice over others. This is about vocal harmony and colours. Each is necessary to achieve the result. When you sing in a choir, U know it. 🙂🥰

It’s incredible!!
Yes, awesome deep bass.
ok asshole
@@fresh_vertices Great! Thank you!
Have sung this bass part. It's a LOT of fun. Simple but so very effective
Outstanding example of the beauty of the human voice. How can anyone give this the thumbs down ?
They fear the emotions it invokes in them

Trolls gonna troll.
@Just a Human Granted. But when you see, on your screen, what you've actually done, don't you go back and correct it?
@Just a Human My vote goes to "don't pay attention".
Every voice is so beautiful--but can we talk about that BASS? wow!!
Petition to have those basses sing the Wellerman sea shanty a capella
Feel free.
To me, this sounds like musical perfection. The voices are pure, without vibrato, in just tune, perfectly in tune, changing exactly together, and yet, in emotional sync. It is as if eight have become one, and with one mind, without equivocation.

Oh My!!!!!! Huge Enya fan here and this is Just..... I am crying!!!! So BEAUTIFUL AND HEAVENLY!!!!!!! I am so thankful that I came to know this band today!!!!
At first I came here half expecting the worst, so many have butchered Enya's songs in the past. But I'll admit, I was pleasantly surprised.
They sing many masterpieces try their Nimrod.
Them ninjas are cutting onions again.
The interplay between the first soprano and the mezzo is completely seamless.

My God, they are talented! Like listening to a choir of angels :)
When a song can make you cry. You know it's good!
Overwhelming emotion, one of very few songs that can make me cry
Wow that first soprano voice.
Both Sop soloists are stunning, the sound is so pure and gorgeous
check out Sissel from Norway
Really. Not normally my favorite vocal range, but this young lady gave me shivers. All the singers were wonderful.
Sami Laaksamo tall girl is a mezzo soprano, first is soprano. I like the piercing voice of the mezzo soprano girl more than the soprano girl.
Rachel Barton one is a mezzo soprano though.
Thinking of so many dear souls who have left this earthly world. May It Be

Both is good

Believe and you will find your way

This is the most perfect musical performance I have ever heard. The harmony, the timing and above all the sublime voices, beyond superlative.
Absolutely fantastic Andrea and Eleonore together with the choir and the composition of the voices - great
At 1:03 I get overwhelmed with emotion, every single time I hear this, everytime
Me too. It's like a massage to my nervous system, which leads to this tearful release. Just such a well written song, and Voces8 just excels at everything they do 😂❤
OMG that bass is so beautiful ❤️🤩.
I'm living for it
Pure pleasure. Thank you.
Lord of the Rings helped me so much through dark times as a boy. Yours is a very beautiful rendition of that song. Thank you and God Bless.
This is a very special conjuntion: beauty, precious songs, fine voices and a lofty purpose : to help in raising the human consciousness
Oh, my heart, this is simply sublime!
The tall woman's voice is absolutely brilliant, clear like a forest brook. Marvelous rendition!
So beautiful! Even more beautiful than the original! My husband and I danced to this song at our wedding- this was a blessing to hear today! 💕
Beautiful, serene, emotional - just the way I feel today ... well!
I STILL listen to this all the time. One of the most incredible and moving things I have ever heard.
Same here....it just moves me so deeply
I cried tears I had not known for years and years. Thank you.
For the first time in my life, I was brought to tears from such a beautiful sound. The way it caressed my ear drums left me speechless. I love it!
"seek ye the Lord while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near" Isaiah 55:6 KJV
Just so Special they are.....❤❤❤
Would love to see them live.🎉
Something magical about all the guys singing @2:03...♥♥ a Beautiful rendition by Voces8.
Beautiful! This is the kind of thing that make us feel complete. For a few minutes, but yet it does.
Daniel I absolutely agree. I'm gonna get lost for a second time in this beautiful arrangement.
Greetings from South Africa, tearing devine voices, well blended. Every part displaying it's talent to the fullest. The baritone incredibly deep notes as if from the stomach. Magnificent
Just did my round trip on RUclips through Stellenbosch and Pretoria University Choirs, ending my night with Voces8..Hamba Kahle🙂
The beauty of the human voice at its best, no instruments needed. ♥️
It's 2024, and I've just stumbled across this video and I am just floored by how beautiful this was to listen to. I've had a rough couple of weeks, but this song made me feel comfort which is something I've needed.
When music cuts right through you and touches your soul. 😢🙏♥️
Voices of angels! This is by far my favorite all time song coming from my favorite movie of all time!
GREAT music! Crystal clear soprano, the wamth of the bass, and very decent the mid-voices, out comes a perfect sound. Brilliant intonation
Great, crystal clear female voices that can hold a pure note without the wrecking ball of vibrato spoling it. Rich lower register male voices too. Very nice
This is one of my all time favorites of VOCES8. Amazing harmony on the sopranos!
Beautiful song. Sung at a friend's celebration of her life.
