Mozart Laudate Dominum

[MrTicotic]

une musique si belle, composée sous contrainte en plus !

ce mec n'était pas comme les autres. un vrai entendeur de la voix de Dieu.

On t'aime Mozart, et à jamais, saches-le !

perfection

[gustafbellman]

Amazing piece of music.

[wcharles19]

Nearly brings a tear to my eye. So incredibly beautiful.

[kf9as]

This is truly beautiful-- however, I prefer Barbara Bonney's interpretation. NO ONE can hold a candle to Ms. Bonney. To me, Ms. Hendricks sounds just a TAD pretentious here, and as others mentioned, the vowel sounds on the melismas just aren't quite there. Still, a very nice performance.

[SKRIBLSKULL]

remembering singing this is in choir in high school, first soprano :)

[amorroma1244]

If your are not a believer, after hearing this music, it is very difficult not to become one.

[MsAdlynn]

Laudate Dominum omnes gentes

Laudate eum, omnes populi

Quoniam confirmata est

Super nos misericordia eius,

Et veritas Domini manet in aeternum.

Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.

Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper.

Et in saecula saeculorum.

Amen.

@MsAdlynn Psalm 117, the shortest one.

[TGC]

Love this. Got to sing it, Barritone, with a choir many years ago. I've loved it ever since.

[aldooliveira30]

Almost romantic!

[KevinByrne2]

Lovely.  Thank you.

[raboga1955]

encantador.

[fixmyhvac]

Praise the Lord, all nations;

Praise Him, all people.

For He has bestowed

His mercy upon us,

And the truth of the Lord endures forever.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning, is now, and forever,

and for generations of generations.

Amen.

[comdinet]

@fixmyhvac keep that religious fanatism to yourself?

[liberafan4eva]

@comdinet

It's not religious fanatism, it's just a translation to the latin words.

[andrewMLhero]

@comdinet Shut it, Jew.

[luceelizabeth]

I love her voice but sometimes she doesn't keep with the vowel on melismas, for example half way through the 'Ah' gets distorted and 'Au' is heard instead.

[herman650701]

Nevertheless it's the best version I've heard so far. The combination Marriner / Academy of St. Martin and Hendricks works out just perfect

[luceelizabeth]

@herman650701 Good answer. Since writing the above I have begun to abandon critical thinking of others and myself in favour of the sheer enjoyment and love of music.

[Carmen1995ful]

we´ll sing vesperae at the school christmas concert - normally I don´t like classic music, but I think this part, my favourite, is good :)

[marlyharris]

I've always adored Popp's rendition of this great music but now I've added Hendricks' to my list. Exquisite and ethereal.

[Zofzoeif]

La voix de Barbara Hendricks est d'une pure splendeur
