Well it turns out that this piece works greatly as a lullaby for my baby. He hated every white noise I tried and kept crying, so I turned this on because I wanted to get a moment of peace for myself. Then voila! He fell asleep listening to this music! It’s amazing to watch what music which survived for centuries can do to a human mind.
Dear singing Brothers and Sisters, it seems to me, that You are not only performing a masterpiece of sacred music, but that God‘s Grace is dwelling in Your midst. Keep on singing for His greater glory. Hopefully You will be soon our beloved guests in Sardinia.
Ironically they didnt construct music with the same harmonic concepts the way we do today. Renaissance music like this was constructed with the idea that each musical line was a separate melody and there were lots of requirements and rules for how to put the separate lines together.
Très belle interprétation de Josquin des Prez, musicien si difficile à interpréter car sa musique est comme une ligne tendue qui peut casser à tout moment. Merci pour une aussi juste performance.
Absolutely - every voice perfectly balanced, everyone in time to the microsecond. Also: does anyone else but me hear in the "O mater Dei" section the Hamburg melody of "When I survey the wondrous cross..."?
The section in triple time is so utterly perfect. It would be the most memorable part of the piece if it weren’t for the even more sublime ending. One of a small handful of truly unique works of early music.
@Karen S I read the New Yorker article today and found my way here as well. I've liked Thomas Tallis music and am happy to find others who composed this way.
Ave maria Gratia plena dominus tecum Benedicta tu in mulieribus Et benedictus fructus ventris tui Iesus Sancta Maria mater Dei Ora pro nobis peccatoribus Nunc et in ora mortis nostrae Amen ❤️
Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum, Virgo serena. Ave cujus conceptio, solemni plena gaudio, celestia, terrestria, nova replet letitia. Ave cujus nativitas, nostra fuit solemnitas, ut lucifer lux oriens verum solem preveniens. Ave pia humilitas, sine viro fecunditas, cuius annunciatio nostra fuit salvatio. Ave vera virginitas, immaculata castitas, cuius purificatio nostra fuit purgatio. Ave preclara omnibus angelicis virtutibus, cujus fuit assumptio nostra glorificatio. O Mater Dei, memento mei. Amen.
Sublime and transcendent: Josquin in a nutshell. Of the numerous interpretations I've listened to/purchased, this is unquestionably the best. Josquin! over your contemporaries presiding In your music all earthly cares subsiding; Your notes rise up to heaven's vault, Our hearts consoled, all souls exalt In Josquin's music there is no fault.
Another piece of musical perfection to add to my eclectic choral library, and of course sung by this wonderful ensemble. I'm not an expert by any means in what or how the sounds are achieved but know when something is just perfect. They embody that 100% in my mind.
You may be no expert, but you've got a good ear. the main thing your ear is noticing is the lack of vibrato -- a straight, pure tone, rather than a wobbly one. Deviation from the pure tone was never a good thing until about the middle of the Baroque period, when ornamentation of any and every kind was pitched into the pot, but it didn't become a staple of music performance until the early 20th century. Compare a recording of Caruso to Pavarotti, and you'll probably hear a distinct difference. Another thing is that this piece is polyphonic, not harmonic. Each voice has its own distinct melodic line during any given lyrical phrase, and they swap melodies in an interweaving of voices, rather than the "stacking" of voices in harmony. It has a gorgeous, shimmering quality, doesn't it?
une splendeur ! un subtil jeu entre les voix dont une se détache, puis une autre... A faire entendre à ceux qui croient encore au Moyen Age "âge de ténèbres"
Normal, ça fait plusieurs décennies que la guerre de cent ans, le Grand Schisme et le Moyen Age tardif sont terminés; on est en plein essor de la Renaissance.
As a composition student 60 years ago, my counterpoint lecturer told me I wrote better Josquin than I did Palestrina. That was in the days of close examination of Palestrina's vocal style and JSBach's instrumental writing. A great performance of one of Josquin's best known works, in a setting so apt for such voices.
Jewel of Flanders or rich pearl of France - On either side the border may we hear Sweet lines of delectation for the ear, Quiv’ring and turning in their dainty dance. Unless the heart should see in you a mirror - Its vanity made glass, its pride made less - No image of you may be seen, unless
Dim shadows cast, your notes upon a hearer. Each voice raised high to praise you in your days Shouts loud no longer, and is heard no more.
Persisting still: each voice within your score, Raised high in praise to He who hears always. Each instrument of music-making is Zealous for your touch, as you for His.
I’m guessing, but this looks like the Lady Chapel at Ely Cathedral (Cambridgeshire). Once renowned for the beauty of its wall paintings and religious furniture, it was desecrated during the Reformation and has been restored in a way that preserves some its original splendour.
Stile Antico sings on the wings of divine inspiration, besides being close to musical perfection. God bless You and greetings from Sardinia.

Austere and simply sublime. Music for our troubled times. 'O Mater Dei, memento Mei'. Now, more than ever.
If I am at my funeral and they don't play this song, I will wake up
The fact that this music is over 500 years old makes it overwhelming for me.... Quality harmony has been there for ages

Couldn't do better - breathtakingly beautiful - thank you Stile Antico
“O mater Dei, memento mei” - sublime rendition
Absolutely - every voice perfectly balanced, everyone in time to the microsecond. Also: does anyone else but me hear in the "O mater Dei" section the Hamburg melody of "When I survey the wondrous cross..."?
da brividi!!il miglior finale della storia della musica.
This is so AWESOME! Thank you. My university students will love it!!! A beautiful performance which brought tears of joy to my eyes.

Have you listened to a lot of "early" music? A lot of it is unique and beautiful.
Magnifique
Bellísimo...!! Saludos desde Argentina.
Josquin forever!
Wunderschön! B. Maria
Outstanding pacing, blend, and dynamics....wonderful job!
Pure sound, heart open, another sublime performance. A tonic for all of us in these troubled times.
No conductor - just sensitivity to each other. That's why their performances are so sublime, including this.
Un mottetto di incredibile bellezza! Ogni volta che lo ascolto sudo per l'emozione! Grande interpretazione!
E uno dei mottetti più belli di sempre
Trés belle exécution musicale, du bon josquin. Bravissimo a questo gruppo ! Forza josquin!
Although i think of myself as an atheist religus music is one of my favorites.
Sorry for bad english...
Music is the ladder to heaven.

Kurtis Kroon:
Grateful thanks for the lyrics.
Holy Mary, let this pandemic quickly pass by so that I can listen to Stile Antico live again....
alas , if i could LOL ...
Respectfully, Mary is a mere human, only God can answer prays and KING Jesus
@@MynameJeffX WELL SAID !

More rosary, less music.
The last phrases are just sublime- they sound transcendent. Superb control.
They translate to: "O mother of God, remember me"

Wow. Wonderful beyond words.
You touched my soul.
Thank you and Blessings 🙏
I don’t know what it is about the final three phrases;I have never heard anything more moving , and it always sets me off!
Eine der schönsten Marientexte-Vertonungen, von einem meiner absoluten Lieblingskomponisten: Josquin! Danke!

this is amazing. Des Prez has the MOTETS with the MOSTEST
Underrated comment.
@Karen S Thanks! I just came back here for the first time in months and I missed that article, I will look for it online
Note: I love Alex Ross
Incredibly beautiful interpretation.
This was my absolute favorite piece to sing in high school despite the many pieces I have sang. This one is amazing

Josquin Desprez apartient à la Renaissance.
Brawo from Poland !
This is soooo magnificent and emotional!!
I've learned to appreciate this piece , finally.
As a composition student 60 years ago, my counterpoint lecturer told me I wrote better Josquin than I did Palestrina. That was in the days of close examination of Palestrina's vocal style and JSBach's instrumental writing. A great performance of one of Josquin's best known works, in a setting so apt for such voices.
Was it Grove that described Josquin as bindweed on the foothills to Palestrina?(!)
One of the greatest songs ever written. I used to listen to another version of this long ago, but couldn’t find it. This version is impeccable
This is a true beauty. Congratulations!
C'est presque irréel à quel point c'est beau.
So beautiful.
Beautiful. Thank you.
This is so beautiful yall! Well done!
È davvero meraviglioso!
Magnifique, bravo !
Thank you. Very captivating performance.
Bravo. Emocionante.
Absolutely Magnificent🎵
This is just amazing. I listen at least a couple times a week.
sublime lettura, degna della musica
Superbe
Espléndida música y espléndida interpretación. Gracias Stile Antico por iluminarnos con este Ave María, Virgo Serena del maestro Des Prez.
I can feel Josquin.
❤ Mater Dei, memento mei ! Amém.
Bravo et Merci pour cette belle reprise de Josquin
The best part for me as well....Memento mei....peccatoribus!
Magnifique !
Jewel of Flanders or rich pearl of France -
On either side the border may we hear
Sweet lines of delectation for the ear,
Quiv’ring and turning in their dainty dance.
Unless the heart should see in you a mirror -
Its vanity made glass, its pride made less -
No image of you may be seen, unless
Dim shadows cast, your notes upon a hearer.
Each voice raised high to praise you in your days
Shouts loud no longer, and is heard no more.
Persisting still: each voice within your score,
Raised high in praise to He who hears always.
Each instrument of music-making is
Zealous for your touch, as you for His.
"Let the incomparable Josquin take the prize." ~ Martin Luther.
Absolutely angelic 👼
The acoustics are perfect in what looks like, unfortunately, an abandoned chapel. Very beautiful singing.
Espetacular!
Bravo!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Magnificent, thank you!!
Incredible
Good performance beautifull and professional
Beautiful.
Bellísimo!
Congrats!! Great news and a stunning music and performance. Xxx Poliphonicas Felicidades.

Totally sublime

A priceless piece, and who better to sing it than Stile Antico. Where is this filmend?
Asylum Chapel, Peckham, London
Sanctuary in a noisy world. Thank you, from deep of my heart.
Please, where was this performed ? Thank you.
Espectacular
Ich höre, es ist eine Bewertung der Leistung in der Schule, aber es ist sehr heilig.ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.
I read that as "singers," lol. Even though I know the prayer. Haha
Amen
This is so peaceful
Bravo!
After this music and performance j am speechless. Thanks and God BLESS giù!!. Ciao from Italy .
Sublime.
아름다운 음악

amazingly sounding venue ..... which church is that ????
Lieber Alfried Felix ( Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach ), ruhe sanft und schlaf in Frieden !
Thanks.
Stunning, profoundly moving. Thank you!
I can't say it any better than that!!!
Ouvindo e flutuando em direção ao alto
Where is this location please?
It would be great to know where they’re singing. Why is this not in the description?
I’m guessing, but this looks like the Lady Chapel at Ely Cathedral (Cambridgeshire). Once renowned for the beauty of its wall paintings and religious furniture, it was desecrated during the Reformation and has been restored in a way that preserves some its original splendour.

Title: Ave Maria Virgo Serena
