CWU Chamber Choir: Ola Gjeilo, Ubi Caritas (unaccompanied)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 сен 2011
- "Ubi Caritas" (Ola Gjeilo) is sung by The CWU Chamber Choir (Gary Weidenaar, director).
In mid-April, 2011, composer Ola Gjeilo spent 3 days on the Central Washington University Campus to join the choir in recording 3 of his pieces, (the teaser/trailer URL is found below)
This performance of Gjeilo's "Ubi Caritas" is from that session, following a rendition in which the composer joined the choir and improvised an accompaniment (URL below). In this video the choir sings the piece in its published (unaccompanied) version.
One behind-the-scenes comment: On the last page of the piece, when the first melodic material occurs again - Ola, who was sitting in the hall, asked half the choir to hum while the other half sang to create a more ethereal effect.
The CWU Chamber Choir also has recorded videos of the music of Monteverdi, Muehleisen, Singh, Victoria, and Rautavaara on RUclips

When I was in high school our choir teacher taught us this version of the song. When we performed it for the first time in the school hall, the whole school went quiet. I can't describe the feeling bros, it was ethereal af. Peeps were crying. This is my favorite choir song I've ever had the absolute pleasure of performing, and it's one of my favorite pieces of music ever. Just stunning
My school too
It's so refreshing to hear Sopranos and Altos singing in near-perfect, if not utterly perfect, unison without some Diva ruining the experience. Bravo!
Amen absolutely
That comment reminds me of Titanic
@@rodrigocamargo8400 It was so tragic at the time
😂
This piece is the closest I've heard to the indefinable perfect choral sound. And this choir's rendition really is perfection.
10 years ago... and still one of the best version of this masterpiece ! (*goosebumps*) ....
I find Gjeilo's own uploaded version to be even better. It's basically this version plus some incredibly beautiful piano!
I just love the sound of the different voices blending perfectly, the absence of soprano vibrato and over all the composed way of conducting this absolutely wonderful piece of music by Gjeilo. I can listen to this piece over and over again ...
Damn. Here I thought WE were singing it well. Cough. What really kinda got me was the half-hum, half-sing bit in the end. Found it curious but it gave me slight goosebumps when the Amen finished. What a guy, that Gjeilo. Good choir. Good mustache on that conductor.
That was actually the composer's request that some of the singers hum while the rest sing as normal. It is a nice effect. Thanks for the comment - GW (The conductor)
У меня тоже мурашки побежали... Поем это произведение в хоре с особым удовольствием.
Where charity and love are, God is there.
Christ's love has gathered us into one.
Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him.
Let us fear, and let us love the living God.
And may we love each other with a sincere heart.
Thank you, Gary and Choir, for this beautiful music.
they are absolutely amazing....angelic voices on earth, God is alive in music
This extraordinary performance of Gjeilo's masterpiece gave me goosebumps. It is perfection itself!!💖
Wow. My high school choir just got introduced to this today. We have a long way to go
Yeah I'm a freshman and I'm in treble choir and we learned this a few weeks ago. My winter concert is next week and since our school is known for having really great choirs, orchestras, and bands, I'm very excited for our songs that we're doing.
@@mandontlookatme6562 I got this piece my first day of freshman choir and I totally feel you. Having such a prestigious choir program to uphold is strenuous but also wonderful because you get to do pieces like this.
We are doing it for our middle school concert
My thoughts exactly. My choir is also singing this.
Thats a great attitude. Eventually you will surpass this performance if you explore and accept the path to get there.
open two separate tabs of this video, play one video until 0:34, stop, then play the second one at 0:11 simultaneously with the first video at 0:34!
Enjoy the beautiful canon.
oh my god it's beautiful. Thank you so much! :)
You sir are a genius
Requiem verdi
Omg :O Beautiful
That's incredible! And that's thanks to the almost perfect tempo of the choir. Very impressive.
In this crazy chaotic world this reminds me of something truly important.
Everything about this recording delights me, right up to the final decrescendo on that sustained "n." Lovely work, folks.
This is the song I was singing when I met my now-fiance at a Lent concert!!!! I've been looking for a good version. OH MY GOSH. You are all my HEROES!!! This is PHENOMENAL. Absolutely breathtaking.
I just love this song. My high school choir did it so I was humming along to the alto part. :) This was a beautiful rendition!
Wow! So beautifully sung. Thank you for posting.
This piece is stunning! This choir performs this piece brilliantly! Bravo!
I think this is the best interpretation of this piece! Well at least my favorite! ❤️ Great job!
Difficult to sing this glorious piece well. This choir does it justice.
The superior vocal dynamics emitted from this wonderful choir is an audible tribute to the directorship of Gary Weidenaar. While listening, one need only to close your eyes and feel transcended into a historic, Europian cathedral or basilica and a thrilling spirituality.. Outstanding choir, outstanding director!
Bravísimo!!
SO many hours of hardwork in the backsatage, you can be proud!!
Congrats congrats congrats!!
, that was the most beautiful Amen i ever heard.
My favourite contemporary composer...….thank you so much.
UBI CARTAS: What a beautiful song, I like this song very, - Thank you "CWU Chamber Choir" !
Delivered with polished precision and heart. I loved viewing the fact even those that were not singing, were breathing with the ensemble. Incredible devotion to beautiful sound. Many thanks!!
Que hermosura, entré antes de ayer al coro de mi universidad y es la primera canción que cantaremos. Me encanta!!
This conductor should be really proud, this is beautiful.
Beautiful full rich sound. dynamics were superior! balance of tones, and breathing, amazing! you guys are truly vocal musicians !!!
My choir Will sing this in Spain in october! I practice with your choir! Thank you! Beautiful!!
Extraordinarily well balanced and in tune! What a pleasure to listen to!
My all women church choir just performed this at a Tenebrae service last Sunday. I brought my music home to practice along with this magnificent choir. Thank you for posting on RUclips. I love singing it-2nd Alto.
esecuzione tra le più belle che abbia sentito. Ad occhi chiusi sono nell'universo, grazie!
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.
Exultemus, et in ipso iucundemur.
Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum.
Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero.
Wow❤❤
I can’t stop listening to this... such beauty
indeed one of the best versions of this piece, which I really love. Thank you
Most amazing performance of this song I've ever heard. BRAVO!!
Truly delightful. I have sung professionally in So. Cal. for years and just want to compliment you all including the conductor. Really extraordinary singing and conducting! Hope some of you if not all of you have continued your singing.
amazing, I'm crying a lot! Thank you very much!
Wow!! I listen to this frequently! Inspirational. Super job!
This is perfection
This music is so beautiful.. being able to sing pieces like this one is what makes me fall in love with my hobby again and again.
We're singing this song in specialty choir this year. I've never hear of the song before now, and I'm in absolute love with it. You all do an amazing job at performing it.
Beautiful BEAUTIFUL peace. We're singing this in my high school madrigal group, and it makes me feel like I'm in a cathedral or monastery. Love it.
I didn't know there was a choral version of this. I fell in love with the piano improvisation. This just makes it 1000x more amazing.
This is one of the most beautiful choral pieces I have ever heard. I was blessed to have been able to sing this song back in High School. Strange how I remember exactly how to sing it word from word and everything. Music is such an amazing and mysterious thing. Breath taking. Simply breath taking.
Dude literally same. This was my favorite one of all the songs we learnt, it was just enchanting
Your choir sings so beautifully. You have been a blessing for many with this video addition to RUclips.
I have been very blessed to hear this today. Thank you.
I've loved this song for a long time. This is an exceptional performance, and will serve as a model for my young singers. I am hoping to have Crossroads North Middle School Vocal Ensemble perform this one soon...We love Ola Gjeilo in New Jersey!
Absolutely stunning. The blend and unity of the vowels are incredible.
Thank you all for singing & posting this for everyone to enjoy!! Our little Capella Choir is learning it now...this'll help!! Keep singing!!
Wow, incredible all the way through but that final chord and then the picardy third to end....simply mesmerising!
we're doing this song in my chorus class 😍😍
nathalie bernard My choir just did this for a concert. It's a fun and beautiful piece!
Congratulations from a UK cathedral chorister! This is superb.
What a beautiful song, I like very, thank you CWU !!
APPRECIATE VERY MUCH!! BEAUTIFUL MEDITATIVE PERFORMANCE. THANK YOU!!
My choir is doing this song and it’s quite interesting as it’s a college level song and we’re preforming it for festival. It’s such an amazing song and I love Latin.
Beautifully done!!!!
Goodness this is an incredible performance. Well done!
Very beautiful! Perfect blending!
we performed this in my high school choir. Definite!y one of my favorite choral pieces I've ever performed. Funny how it has been years since that time and I still remember the myriad nites. Beautiful
Parabéns ao maravilhoso coral! Obrigado por suas maravilhosas vozes! Bravíssimo!
An absolutely superb rendition. Bravo!
Such Beauty Captured!! Brings me to tears!
Thank you for presenting this amazing composition, and singing it so magnificently. Wonderful choir, impeccably directed, with such an intimate understanding of the music. The composer must be very, very pleased.
I recently just started learning this song in my chamber singer group... dang. These guys are really good
What a lovely composition sung by a beautiful, musical choir.
Excellent choir, music and composer. Wonderful combination
Deep moving sound!!!! Wonderful!!!!
wow. I'll be performing this in two weeks. This performance is inspiring!
Stunning. THE reference for any choir to work towards as we are for a performance in Granada Saturday 22 March.
We sang thus version in the Northern KZN youth choir back in 2008
The last six or seven hits of the last hour are mine. I just can´t stop listening. The song is so utterly beautiful and you sing it so very well. I´m going to sing it in July and hope sincerely, we´ll do as good as you do. I even sent the link to my choir to inspire everybody :) Thank you!!!
Stunning. Thank you.
Nice, impressive, tender. I like it very much.
Me encanta. Muy bonito y conmovedor. Gracias
This choir blends absolutely brilliantly! A perfect sound for Gjeilo or Whatacre. Well done!
Magnífica interpretación de la obra de Gjeilo.
Thank you for a beautifully sung performance. First rate singing.
Absolutely beautiful harmony!
Stunningly beautiful.

Absolutely exquisite music and performance!
Stupenda! Grazie!

wow ubi caritas is just a song that comforts me
Used to sing this piece back in high school with my OG chorister friends. This was the only accapella piece we could pretty decently.
It still remains a beautiful piece, would be nice to sing it again someday....
Wow... instantly sent shivers down my spine....
The ending is superb ! Very amaIng that is !
I agree! That's the whole point of a choir. "Listen louder than you sing." It's all about the blending of voices. :) Love this!!
6-05-2015 Amazing! Thank you.
Si merveilleux, si beau !!!
excellent interpretation for the ending! bravo
I am showing this version to my choir... If only we performed it this well!!!
BEAUTIFUL
Lovely Gary! Been a long time but you're clearly doing fabulous work by the sound of this! Bravo!!
Thanks, Tecwyn!
i really enjoy this composer's work. wonderful, full sounds as well as subtle sensitive sections. hmmmmm. want to choose one for my funeral. That will put the 'fun' back in funeral.
A beautiful performance of a beautiful setting. Great choir!
And that final "n" on Amen is simply perfect. Lovely work.
Excelent choir and conductor, congratulation!!
A beautiful performance.
I’ve never been a fan of choir but this song always hits me right in the feels
