[ruiolas]

I abuse the replay button like a priest abuses a child.

[tabithamordecai]

@ruiolas no need to go there is there ? you defile the music thus

[NihilNominis]

@ruiolas So if you're like most you don't abuse it, right?

[LotsOfLyrics1002]

im not even religious but we were talking about different types of music in my Music Theory class && my teacher played this song... I love it.!!! its just amazing to see how music evolved.

[ThaKidFrankiee]

What's the name of this genre of music, if there is a name for it?

[UnRoman111]

@ThaKidFrankiee Gregorian Chant. a medieval form of chant proper to the Holly Mass, used from VI century to XV.

[angelastri]

heaven on earth.. thank you for sharing this.. :)

[sandyhackney]

Very fine! Thank you.

[metalicbard666]

i love how people listen to this music without knowing what most of it means, i bet the majority of you dont even know what language it is in. i personally love it, but i also understand it

[jdgrahamo]

@metalicbard666

You might consider working on your English a little when you have time.

[Charloltte1]

@metalicbard666 Latin my friend

[RougeGamer006]

ware do you find the lyrics?

[ironeyes16]

Absolutely beautiful

[DeathNest94]

it has byzantine influences ... i'm an orthodox pilgrim and i mostley listen to church music

[berq00]

I first heard the gregorian chant in college for a music class. Sadly I didn't finish. But when I hear this It still inspires me to be a better man.

[tbel1ma]

This chanting comes from heaven for all to experiencea little bit of heaven in this confused world.

[DaxxiKat]

This is amazingly beautiful, and whats really awesome is, I'm learning about Gregorian chant in music class, and I find it quite fasinating, while my classmates find it boring or "weird" -_-"

[adairsalad]

G...is this one yours? It's quite different and I love gregorian chants. Thank you for sharing!

[LNDforthelulz]

This sounds so relaxing.

[zunkerbros]

omfg this is the gayest thing eva

[GeneralAsmodeus]

@zunkerbros Then why did you watch it? -_-

[Leshelou112]

in my music book, this is described as "joyful"

its quite nice, but joyful? its prayerful

[littletexan1963]

beautiful!!!! theres just something bout gregorian chant that just amazes me with the beauty of it

[MariaVesper]

Beautiful!! Reminds me of the 11'th century. I don't know why, but it does

[Graffkulture11899]

Im sorry for abusing the play button, but before I discovered this chant My favs were Veni creator Spiritus and Pange Lingua. But this beautiful song takes my love for the Church at a whole different level.

[quijote347]

@Graffkulture11899 Thanks for your comment. Go on with the abusing! :-)

[theleadsinger93]

@quijote347 Abuse is a terrible problem in many broken families. I hope you feel bad.

[SonofSethoitae]

@theleadsinger93 To what exactly are you referring? You know nothing about him/her. Use reason and intellect before judging someone. If you go to places like this just to hate on people, I suggest you find a hobby.

[ravernomus]

@Graffkulture11899 "Love church"?! Love God, not church...

[TheCrazychick07]

This is lovely

[quijote347]

@TheCrazychick07 Thanks for your support!

[sirchristian12]

How would one learn gregorian chant? I want to chant like they do. I love it!

[quijote347]

@sirchristian12 Thanks for your support! My basic thought about singing is: everyone can (learn to) sing. If you are particularly interested in singing chant, hook up with an existing choir/ensemble in your neighbourhood. Or simply sing along with the Psallentes Plainchant Movies here on YouTube! Enjoy...

[Samurai8989]

@sirchristian12

It is beautiful. However, it must be remembered that this music is not entertainment nor should be thought of as just music. These chants were composed for one very specific purpose: the Catholic Mass. The lyrics are in fact integral prayers used during the ritual of the Mass. If you're Catholic, I encourage you to find a parish that offers the Latin Mass and join the choir who will be happy to teach new members. I can help you in tracking down one if you'd like!

[Porfinnr]

Thank you for posting Don Quijote

[mrdavidsmithism]

I love this type of music but it scares me that peopl (men/boys) who sing counter tenor !!

[GrowInChrist]

Does anyone know the words to this chant, in English?

[BrotherAlphonsusMary]

You all have beautiful voices! Thanks for sharing them here. God Bless, Br. Alphonsus Mary.

[8bluestone]

Imagine if all the Catholic Churches in the world even for just one week a year sang the Gregorian Chant (Advocatam) Llibre Vermell de Montserrat. How outstanding would that be :-). In the busy lives we all lead to see this echo across the nations of the world would be simply beautiful.

[MrRainpe]

I believe in no God.

But the beauty reflected in this is overwhelming.

[yourGODLYhero]

@MrRainpe agreed

[ITSbigwillystyle]

I like these chants, they are like the Islamic chants, which are also very beutiful.

[cabbboose]

@ITSbigwillystyle Christianity started out in the east, so it would be a logical inkling that early Christian music would have an eastern feel to it (all be it in Latin)

[croscream]

@ITSbigwillystyle

When i hear a Muslim singing there religious music i think of a naked man in the deserts cutting a goat apart with a knife will making his chants, Islam is an evil religion.

[ITSbigwillystyle]

@croscream wow, thats pretty dark.

[croscream]

@ITSbigwillystyle

I wouldn't call Islam dark, more mundane and vulgar.

[yourGODLYhero]

@croscream lol

[ORTprod]

regardless of one's stance on religion, one must admit this is outstanding

[sioux7000]

You'll never hear this sung in any protestant church-that's not boosting its a matter of fact.

[Dictator300]

And it's a true and proven fact. -sigh- I go to a denominational church that's...um, spoofy ( an unexisting term used to identify something, but always depending on the reader to make up the meaning in their own consciouness, wether it be good or bad)

[BuscettiByGianna]

I wish they would sing like this in my church...

[Dictator300]

If you gather the right people, talk to the priest/pastor and train them, you just might.^^

[BuscettiByGianna]

@Dictator300 Yeah, I'd probably have to go to Rome or something, and if that be the case, I'd stay there forever and listen to this music =D

[Bhouncer]

beautifull. Say what you like about the catholic church, but they've got style when it comes to ceremonies.

Imagine hearing this being sung in Jerusalem just after the 1st crusade..

[Dictator300]

mmm I'd say some of the other Crusades, If I recall, the first Crusade never even managed to even capture Jerusalem.

[NinrateCommando]

@Dictator300 I thought the first crusade got Jerusalem and then after that all other ones failed to do anything significant in terms of conquest

[Dictator300]

@NinrateCommando Well, I'm not sure what you mean by "do anything significant in terms of conquest." Can you elaborate?

[NinrateCommando]

@Dictator300 certainly, my intention was that the crusade never managed to actually conquer anything of relative importance after the first crusade. The rest of the crusades really spent most of time fighting but not getting anywhere. For the most part the crusade only provided the defense of the conquests. At least thats what i thought

[Dictator300]

@NinrateCommando I'll have to disagree with you on that. The 5th Crusade actually found relative success. And this was by a German hand (God bless Germany), which had restored the Kingdom of Jerusalem for 10 years before being invaded by the Mamluks. I can also agree that some of the Crusades did seem to go nowhere, there's even debate that the 4th Crusade wasn't a Crusade at all; it was actually more like a ticket straight to hell, if you ask me. It was actually bad Papal leadership. No offens

[NinrateCommando]

@Dictator300 Meh fourth crusade was a real screw up. But ill buy your explanation for the crusades achieving conquest, except that it wasn't really germany but the HRE right, which was almost germany but not quite. I really don't know a heck of a lot about the crusades outside the very basics.

[Dictator300]

@NinrateCommando Yes, you're right. It was the Holy Roman Empire(a small fundamental detail I suppose I left out).

I'd rather you didn't buy my explination(what I mean is that you should look up a few interesting books about it; or if you're broke, like me, wikipedia is a good place to start =P). You'd be surprised how many things we have today come from the Crusades. Most people usually disagree with my belief, that the Crusades was a well-placed investment. But oh well.

[NinrateCommando]

@Dictator300 ty for the feed back will do.

[lionhasalreadybe]

Man this is good stuff...

[Insanelycoolprincess]

Very nice. I love it

[Tala032]

Listening a men's chior singing in latin is always fascinates me

[gre8]

This is simply beautiful! A small sample of heaven.

[doulevoir]

I love this song but I think they're too short not more than 3 minutes it was not lasting at least 5 minutes or more.

[airforceeli]

@doulevoir

Ok. You obviously know nothing about these chants, then. These are traditionally psalms being sung in chant for Liturgy of the hours. It does not take 20 freakin minutes to chant a psalm.

[doulevoir]

@airforceeli ok ok

[cutencrazy07]

very nice. I love it

[domperutheo]

Is this a psalm? Wich one?

[doulevoir]

this is beautifuls

[bridgitcelta]

amazing..

[tomyom3]

BEAUTIFUL

[JaredChacon]

I really like this. thanks for uploading this

[MedievalBaroqueLuver]

GREAT JOB, BEAUTIFUL CHANT!

[VideoGameNerd777]

Very good-sounding chant.

[quijote347]

Hi, sorry for answering in English.

You are right about the 'tiempo primo', if it were a normal/classic interpretation. What we have done here, however, is consider the rhombus (the diamond shape note) to be half as long as the other notes. This is part of are experiments into the interpretation of late medieval chant. In this case we tried to stick to one note = one pulse, except for the descending notes of the climacus. We think it works quite good.

Thank you for you reaction

Cheers

HVdA

[quijote347]

I should add that there is indeed some historic ground to this, considering the relationship with mensural notation.

PS Where, in my previous comment, I wrote 'This is part of are experiments' you should read 'This is part of OUR experiments'

[weltsauerstoff]

It works really good indeed. :)

[omoteshuto]

@quijote347 This is great! I'm a member of my church's schola and I feel like I've only scratched the surface in discovering this most beautiful music in the world. Where can I get copies and more info on this? It seems like there's so much chant but I don't know where to begin. We sing the propers and stuff but the way this sounds and is written sounds a bit different. As you can see I'm pretty confused, can you help me? Thank you

[divanegra]

note que aceleran cuando tienen un climacus... disculpen mi ignorancia, pero no se supone que es un tiempo primo solamente?? Excelente interpretacion
