  • Shall we perhaps just concentrate on the music, dears?

  • Beautiful music is the first time traveler. Lost in this.

  • I do love you ....

  • John 14:15.

  • Spectacular!!!!!!

  • Después de escucharlo, podes morirte en eterna paz ♥♥♥ Gracias por la música excelsa.

  • Don't "do" god, but Tallis had the tuning fork for The Music of the Spheres

  • TALLIS: BELLEZA INCOMPARABLE. SUBLIME. MAGNÍFICA INTERPRETACIÓN. PASARÁN SIGLOS Y LA HUMANIDAD SEGUIRÁ CONMOVIÉNDOSE CON ÉSTA OBRA.

  • Sublime music. Like a choir of angels around the throne of God Himself.

  • I've been listening to this work of art for an hour, and I think I can go on..

    Beautiful!!!

  • Say what you will about Christianity, but it has, without a doubt, produced some of the most moving and uplifting music the world has ever heard. You can almost forgive all the atrocities committed in the name of the church while listening to this stuff. Almost.

  • @TheWoodencrow - What "atrocities committed in the name of the church"? They were committed by evil men doing evil by DIS-obeying the Church's law. Never mind that some were clerics. Clerics can sin, too, you know. The Commandment forbids murder or atrocity. Those who breach it are no true followers of the Church. And never forget that the greatest mass murders were committee last century by atheists who hated religion.

  • @Jacobitejim Evil done by men claiming to be good. Evil done using the authority of god by wicked men. It doesn'\t matter whether or not they truly believed in God, or whether or not they knew it was wrong to use his name to justify thier actions. Inquisitions, crusades, the Salem witch trials, can you truly say the suffering and death caused in God's name was pleasing to Him? Catholic Dogma has a lot to answer for.

  • @TheWoodencrow - Your position lacks logic. Evil men can present themselves as good in order to do evil. You, for example. Evil men doing so in God's name are more evil still and clearly not pleasing to God. But you make the false leap of assuming the very thing you have to prove, namely that they were FOLLOWING not DEPARTING from Catholic dogma by so doing. That they were departing from it is obvious to all but a fool. And Salem was not Catholic. It was anti-Catholic. Get your facts straight.

  • @Jacobitejim I said the Salem witch trials were performed in God's name, not in the name of the Catholic Church. It is when men strive to destroy evil instead of doing good that they perpetuate that evil. I would have elaborated further, but I'm lazy and there's a character limit. In the fractured landscape of modern religion there are MANY extremist ideologies that have a lot to answer for, and many old traditions that need to be examined more closely.

  • @TheWoodencrow - Your words implied that Salem was Catholic. But you are right about one thing: you are lazy. You do zero research and so your facts are simply wrong. Indeed, they are dishonest. Nazism was evil and we had no choice but to destroy it. Was that evil? Of course not, provided just means were used. But you say that to oppose evil is evil. Your position is simply incoherent, lazy and ill-thought out.

  • @TheWoodencrow - You also demonstrate ignorance of both crusades and inquisitions. The crusades were a defensive war against the invasion of Christian lands by militant, extreme Islam. Asia Minor was Christian then and was invaded, in an unprovoked attack, by militan Islam. The principle of defence was therefore just. That some evil men tried to divert parts of the crusades for their own gain was evil, contrary to Catholic teaching, condemned by the popes and highly displeasing to God.

  • @TheWoodencrow - As to the inquisition, the Roman Inquisition was the mildest tribunal in human history and did not put to death a single person. The Spanish Inquisition, on the other hand, was an arm of the state and did, effectively, execute some but only after trial and due process. Indeed, the inquisitions introduced new legal norms that we now take for granted e.g. a right to counsel. The Pope condemned it as a misuse by the state of an ecclesiastical court. CONT.

  • @TheWoodencrow - Nevertheless, less than 350 were executed over its whole period of 350 years. That is far less than the state of Texas which, with a comparable propulation, executes an average of 14 per year. And the Spanish state was threatened from without by militant Islam which had ocupied Spain for 800 years, and from within by underground movements determined to overthow it. Given the threats it is not surprising that Queen Isabella made use of what she could to defend her country.

  • @Jacobitejim By executed I assume you mean "Tried and found guilty". This doesn't take into account those who died while under investigation or as a result of conditions during detention for questioning. That's also not counting those who survived and were released but were maimed or traumatised by the experience. The inquisition wasn't about deaths, it was about violation of basic human rights.

  • @TheWoodencrow - Tried and found guilty, yes. As for the rest of your claims, please provide the proof for your accusations. The evidence is against you and shows that, by the standards of the times, their procedure was far fairer and more enlightened. You are peddling out-dated propaganda, not historical truth. If you want violation of basic human rights then you will need to look more to the 20th century and particularly to the horror and mass murder by atheists. Get your facts straight.

  • @TheWoodencrow - And you won't forget, will you, that Thomas Tallis was, himself, a Roman Catholic? Nor that he was in no doubt that his religious faith inspired his music as it did his equally Roman Catholic pupil, William Byrd. Draw your own conclusions.

  • @Jacobitejim I never said the Catholic Church wasn't responsible for some of the most beautiful music in the world. It is. If there is one thing the Catholic Church has always had, it's a sense of grandeur and magesty. Unfortunately it simply doesn't have a very good track record when it comes to politics and dealing with percieved threats to it's stability.

  • @TheWoodencrow As a side note, nothing I say will change your mind, and the same can be said for me. Religious debate only strengthens the previously held positions of the debaters.

  • @TheWoodencrow - Atheists are far more bigoted. They are filled with blind hatred based on ignorance. What you have said so far would convince no-one since it is merely self-serving and lazy propaganda without a shred of evidence, reason or logic. If you want to persuade people then you have to have evidence and reason and you have none, only bigotry and lazy ignorance. So you really cannot expect anyone to take you seriously, let alone be persuaded.

  • @TheWoodencrow - And if you have nothing better to contribute than your self-serving, lazy and ignorant propaganda, then don't bother. Just sit and listen to the music written by committed members of the Church you love to hate.

  • @TheWoodencrow - You do not prove your point by merely asserting your own ignorant statements. The Church's record in politics is one of the best in the world and vastly better than the brutal horror of atheist politics. For example, look at the Church's record in abolishing slavery, in containing financial exploitation of the poor, in holding corrupt political leaders to account, and the long line of social teaching encyclicals defending the rights of the oppressed. Get your facts straight.

  • My 8th grade gifted choir is singing this! It's my fave one(: it's so hard but it's epic(:

  • So very beautiful!

  • Im an aithiest, but i LOVED singing this song.

  • @TheStrainedElliott2 Gottes Musik ist die Allerbeste Musik

  • Our small church choir learned and sang this--boy, I wish WE sounded like this!!

  • Amazingly beautiful! The words taken from Bible (as sung here) point to the promise of sending of Holy Spirit and that has been visualized as tender flames or something (also from Bible) on top of their heads. The background and time of day chosen and so on and on is so perfectly beautiful as well! Thank you!

  • Hey Thanks for posting, very beautiful! God bless :)

  • This is the best rendition of this I've ever heard. It's well represented!

  • Gosh. The play-button just broke.

    Let's spam other pple with this link it until it's fixed. :)

  • It helps me believe we´re going to meet our departed beloved one day.. Thanks.

  • Thank You God!!! ♥♥♥ Life is a miracle ♥♥♥

  • is it normal to forget to breathe while listening to this?

  • Class of 2011 Green Valley High School Madigal Seniors will be missed :'(

  • Such a simple but yet powerful song.

  • Thank you, Tallis, for this. Including Cambridge Singers and John Rutter of course.

  • This is the music you hear when on your way to heaven - all religions and the video is of souls on their way. May God bless the faithful departed; May they rest in peace.

  • One of the great British or English composers of the great golden century of Elizabeth

  • Our choir sang this song this year, it was one of the most challenging, beautiful, and inspiring song I have ever sung in a choir before, pure divine gift of music, yet so simple. I cannot listen enough

  • just great. My choir does this but a little faster. I think you lose some of the "yawning" entrances that madrigal music is famous for.

  • I had to sing this for my all state choir audition. I still love it :) And I got into the choir :):):)

  • One person obviously doesn't have a soul... This is absolutely beautiful!

  • I've been looking for music like this and came across Thomas Tallis. Such a beautiful song. :)

  • is the scene here is from "princess mononoke" ?

  • @hedgehod no its from Fantasia, the ave maria section at the very end

  • Quelle œuvre sublime de l'immense Tallis ! C'est beau à pleurer...

  • The one dislike is a lost soul. God Bless Him.

  • The animation here is from Walt Disney's "Fantasia", the end, the 'Ave Maria' segment.

  • satan disliked this

  • that one person must be atheist

  • @jeremy915111 Because they're all heathens and therefore can never like this music...

  • @jeremy915111 I'm an atheist. I love this.

  • ok who's the asshole who dissliked this? Really dude, if I find out you're a fan of the Beibs, I swear I'll castrate you.

  • I love performing Tallis on the Organ, I need to find me some more Tallis collections.

  • How could you NOT like this?? You'd have to be deaf...

  • Whoever disliked this video forgot to unmute.

  • Lovely rendition of this hymn. It just took my breath away.

  • tenor part=eargasm

  • Oh Tallis so wonderful i just love him with the bottom of my hollow soul. When i think of him he fills me up like nector in my juicy cracks. He makes me think of my mama and how we used to live and plough the fields...how things have changed!!!!! Almost greater than the lord himself, im sure he was of Nazareth brotherhood.

  • @goozmie LOL!

  • This song makes sorrow easier to cope

  • I love Thomas Tallis-what a brilliant composer! This is absolutely beautiful!

  • my school choir is going on a trip to the national cathedral in DC and this is one of the pieces we're performing... i love it. i can't wait!!!

  • Our choir is going to sing this for the second concert tomorrow. Very nicely sung it sounds way better than we do and we sound pretty impressive.

  • I love this...so beautiful. Thank you for sharing =)

  • My choir are practising this now (with swedish lyrics). Far behind Cambridge Singers´ league of course...

    Wonderful piece of music. I love the pure major chord at the second "for-EV-er", it comes in a bit unexpected.

  • So beautiful , Makes me want cry when I hear it . It will be one of the pieces of music played at my funeral

  • It makes me melt, so beautiful. One of my favourites to sing :)

  • Oh, Mon Dieu! Il n'y a pas de mots qui me viennent à l'esprit dans n'importe quelle langue que ce soit pour exprimer la beauté de cette interprétation!

    God bless Tallis!

    Thank you for post it! And sorry that I don't find my word in English..

  • @Miss2895

    Ne Troublez vous pas! Il y a beaucoup des Anglais qui ne peux pas trouve des mots apres avoir ecoute Tallis!

  • I wake up to this, my days are better :)

  • Just astonishing...brillant...joyfu­ll. I wish you a warm 2011***** Abracos

  • Ok - I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll look like a complete idiot soon enough by saying it again - this is an incredible video, and I am so Proud to have it on my Favorite Shorts Blog.

    It's a "music video" of sorts, and my Blog is for Short films, but...

    this one qualifies. And really it's SO good in my opinion, that it is almost

    OVER qualified!!! ( :

  • One word.. beautiful.. xx Happy Christmas xx

  • This is stunning!! Thank you.

  • It's amazing that Disney hasn't sued you. Thanks for the music and your courage against our corporate overlords. lol.

  • @Fogartarian what???

  • This is simply gorgeous.

  • When did the recording, of this performance, take place and is the recording available to purchase?

  • @northb100 : it's available for purchase. I think it's still in print. If not, check on Amazon.com or else where. This is the best recording of this piece in my opinion.

  • @organopleno1979 Thank You much appreciated. You have to go along way to find voices like these. I'm hoping to find the recording some how.

  • THIS! Leaves me with no words to yield..

    How wonderfull

  • SOPRANO I rocks <3(:

    Dont hate SOPRANO II (I'm Originally a II though) ;D

  • My Choir's doing this song ! (:

  • @iSHOTdiamondpainXTC Mine too:)

    Love it

  • hey the alto crosses over to soprano in 1:09, huh strangeeeee?!?

  • beautiful, beautiful beautiful! perfect!

    look at the harmony 0:56 =)

  • I heard this playing on the radio in a shop today and remembered how beautiful it is. I really like this video too. Very simple and a nice image.

  • I have to practice and sing this song for my choir group. I have to sing the CounterTenor part. Wish me luck.

  • @XxOwensUK

    Good luck, OwensUK!

  • Wow. In a good way, words simply do not describe what was just heard.

  • It is so beautiful! I sang/ sing it, too! I felt so wonderful after hearing this! Thank you!!

  • Hail, The Cambridge Singers! You are fantastic! You are probably the best vocal-ensemble in the World!

  • Fantasia? Awesome.

  • Beautiful music

  • This beautiful song must be perfectlin sung, if in a little choir someone makes a mistake immediatly one can notice it. Tenor voice in note fa is very diffcult to sing in low volume. But every time I hear this version i fell like crying

  • C'est l'échauffage de mon coeur...

  • @HaveSalvation Je consens

  • I do wonder if Rachmaninov got any influence from Tallis's choral works. Compare the beginning of this piece of music and the beginning of Rachmaninov's Rejoice, O Virgin. If you think theres no caprison there its probably just me, but the harmonies used in Tallis's choral works I find are very alike to the harmonies used in Romantic Choral Works (slow movements).

  • @steve10005 sorry i meant romantic RUSSIAN Music like Rachmaninov (there may be slow choral music in the Romantic period which is not russian that sounds alike)

  • Tallis was genius. WOW

  • wow, thanks for that Op139, it's awesome! :')

    what's the video? it's really beautiful

  • So beautiful!

  • alto's need to b louder. i'm an alto, i would know cuz my instructor's always telling us to b louder, but sometimes singing in that range loudly is difficult.

  • Yep the Mouse's original animated FANTASIA. "Ave Maria" by Schubert, originally.

  • Very Very nice! Thank you 4 posting such a sublime interpretation of that song. I sounds like music from heaven!

  • One question. From what movie is this footage? I've got the strange feeling that I've seen it before, but I cannot remember what it was. Help?

  • i love this

  • the animation is from the original Fantasia... I believe Shuberts Ave Maria is what originally accompanied this section.

  • Where do you suppose all those people are going? Very serene looking, regardless.

  • And what a lovely video. Thank you.

  • Tallis was truly a student of the Master, to transmit the feeling of those last moments in song. This song is a gift from above.

  • @dcspacegirl : Truly wonderful and what a way to hear scripture.

  • Sublime!

  • I've already sent you a comment a long time ago about this, but I just had to do it again tonight.

    This video - picture and music - is so incredibly great.

    I put it as the first fav on my channel.

    Thanks thanks.

  • This piece's ethereal beauty brings goosebumps to my skin and tears to my eyes. It is absolute art.

  • Apart from The Beatitudes, this is my favorite saying in the Bible!!! Thank you!!!

  • "And he will bide with you forever"

    translates

    "And he will wait for you forever"

  • No, it doesn't. It means "And he will live with you forever."

  • Okay, its a Sunday and you win!

  • well, wait for you" in general is a valid translation but in this context incorrect. in here, it means stay with, stand by, in - communio, be together

    vulgata: e. sec. ioannem 14,16: " et ego rogabo Patrem et alium paracletum dabit vobis ut maneat vobiscum in aeternum"

  • This song is very important for since a was soprano when i was a little boy....

  • Comment removed

  • We're singing this song in my chorus class right now, and I'm in love with it!

    Thanks for the upload ;]

  • OK - that was the most stunningly beautiful

    video - Perfect choice for that song.

    So noble - and reflects the music, and text, and the subtext of honor quite well.

    Thank you - whomever you are!

  • Thank you for the positive comment. :)

  • @Op139

    Great..Is the video an extract from the end of the Mussorgsky piece in Fantasia by any chance? If not..then my apologies!

  • @fgbowen You said it :) One of Tallis' most beautiful pieces (what an amazing composer) The sound quality is superb and the video is great.

    One of the best things I've seen on YT

  • @fgbowen : Disney's 'Fantasia' was indeed a great vehicle for introducing classical music across the generations.

  • @fgbowen Well put, I can"t improve on your thoughts, wonderful music.
