  • Lovely singing! It is always sad when the vocal change occurs!

  • Lovely.

  • voices of angels

  • He's brilliant, his high notes are spot-on and he is a true angel on Earth. I miss Tom Cully from Libera who left the choir in 2009; he was a treble just like this guy. God Bless Libera.

  • Almost makes me believe in angels. As far as I'm concerned this rendition is perfect.

  • Mui Bien

  • Absolutely beautiful, both the lyrics and the voices.

  • I recorded myself singing this song as well and I cannot for the love of me understand how youtube can tell you that this song has a third party match content if I sing it myself and the composer has died many years ago!!!

  • Wow, this gives me chills! Gorgeous singing!

  • Simplemente ángeles que bajaron a deleitarnos....

  • omg so beautiful thank boys derek combe martin devon

  • Unbeliveblie...!! I love it... It is so beautiful!!

  • Oh my gosh...they are amazing. WOW!!!!

  • this song is INCREDIBLE!

    

  • Wtf happens for his dress???

  • i cant take it!

  • My choir class will get to learn this magnificent piece. :D

  • I use the Panis Angelicus in my candle light prayer vigils it is actually Very Powerful.

  • One of my favourite videos from all the history of Libera (after all, this is part of how it all got started). I love their voices, the conviction with which they sing, the robes, the simplicity, the way the choir joins in at the end - it is all incredibly moving. And it seems to be sung live. What a precious moment, thank you for uploading!!

  • what hotties!

  • Celestiale

  • Oh wow. These guys are amazing. Oh wow.

  • This is how it's done...so beautiful. I used to sing this when I was in my church's girls choir, but only when little boys sing it do you really hear it done properly. I can still remember all the lyrics by heart. It still brings a tear to my eye after all these years.

  • Thanks Gustav. It will take some doing but I shall seek it out. To my mind Vatican 2 is an apostasy and the changes mandated with a stroke of a pen undermine the entire foundation of our Faith. To suggest that the miracle of changing bread and water into the body and blood of Christ is no longer a required article of faith is blasphemy. THAT is the entire premise and purpose of the Mass. How can a miracle which has stood for over 2,000 years NOT be a miracle any longer but merely a "suggestion.?

  • Nothing to my mind brings us closer to what I imagine Heaven to be than a beautiful Latin Hymn sung by these angelic voices. The Catholic Church has replaced these hymns with "folk masses" in order to bring the church into ecumenical fraternity with the rebellious Protestant sects/cults which rebelled against the Church and began their own brand of Christianity. These majestic hymns are eternal; like the Lord God Himself and should never be replaced.

  • Look for an "usus antiquior/extraordinary form" Mass in your area. Since the Holy Father's 2007 motu proprio Summorum Pontificum, which liberalized the traditional Latin Mass according to the rubrics of 1962, they've become much more widely offered. Even many "novus ordo/ordinary form" Masses are returning to traditional music. Pax christi.

  • Your video is vey good and you do have very compatible voices.

    This St. Philip's Boys'Choir Video was one of their very earliest when the choir was still quite traditional. Can I suggest you view some the more recent Libera videos to see what can be achieved with boys' treble voices once the restrictions of tradition have been removed.

    Best Wishes, Paul

  • he do it well, but but not mega fantastic! Watch my Panis Angelicus video. We are amateur and we only song in choir 2 years, but we have the angel voices! Thumps up!

  • Panis Angelicus means bread of angels.  The above translation is the goofiest thing I ever saw. Panis Angelicus is a song about the true presence of Christ in the eucharist.

    love all

  • Semplicemente ........bellissimo!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • damn, this video was uploaded at my b-day.

    thank you

  • I love this version, awesome, the blending is terrific, their voice angelic, WOW, PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!

  • This is not a joke, but if you believe me I can sing the same song maybe better. I f you believe me its ok. Im a choir singer: a solo.

  • beautiful, nice work boys!!!!!! u made me cry!

  • wow! i´m crying.

    beatiful voices and wonderful music!

    they sound like angels!

  • beautiful ^L^

  • Wow, this blew me away, as usual, does Libera. I like the part especially the piano accompaniment 2:01-2:10!

  • Hi boyscout403, I launched this video on YouTube some four years ago along with "Be Still My soul" and "Light the Candles". They were copied from a VHS tape recorded by a St. Philip's Boys' Choir enthusiast from a BBC (UK) broadcast. They were three of the fourteen tracks on their first album "Sing For Ever", released in 1988.I have these three videos on a DVD. Contact me if you'd like a copy but bear in mind VHS quality is only marginally better than the YouTube vids.

  • @paulban Hi, I would love a copy of the VHS Tape, and would be will to pay for S/H if you could send it to me. I have some fairly impressive video editing tools that i can employ to enhance the video of Vhs tapes and would be pleased to send you a copy of the resultant DVD.  The original format can be enhanced since it is not compressed. please contact me at rpatton@cpsbiz.com for further information.

  • @boyscout403 Sam and Jaymi are magnificent and recognition should have been giving them. I guess it's sad in some ways that the loose those magnificent voices as teen age hood set in.

    God give them to us to enjoy for only a few short years, so let us be thankful and enjoy their beauty while we can. Libra has always been my favorite; they have a way with the music that overwhelms the listener in the same manner as "Les Petits Chanteurs À La Croix De Bois" do in acapella.

  • @frchrisheffernan Hi, St. Philips Boys' Choir, Norbury, UK. Recorded July 1987 before release of their first hit album "Sing For Ever" in 1988. Featuring soloists Jaymi Bandtock and Sam Harper. If I can help with sum other selections I would be please to do so. Boy's choir is very popular genre now and their music is timeless. I would suggest acappella music (voice only) as it provides the listener with a much richer sound of the boys voices.

  • @paulban Yes, I would love a copy of the DVD or VHS tapes (rpatton@cpsbiz.com). I have some outstanding video enhancement software which may work to bring out some detail. Do you have any way of retrieving the original; if it's not lost It would be my pleasure to bring out the beauty of the video. IT does not do justice to the boy's performance, I assume the issue was lighting was the main problem. What a beautiful version of one of my favorites, along with Pueri Concinite.

  • Love this version and i tried to enhance the video but there was not enough Gama to make it work. Does any one know where the original can be found?

  • Sono degli angeli.

  • Hi ,sincères Félicitations pour votre Panis Angélicus, tres bien interprété , et de très belles voix,

    Belle musique aussi, continuer très très beau, et aussi de très beaux talents,

    Merci beaucoup, j,aime Jacques.

  • ¡Simplemente preciosa!

  • MUITO BOM!!!!! LATIM PERFEITO !!!!! VOZES MARAVILHOSAS! PARABÉNS A QUEM POSTOU!

  • i feel heaven. thanks for sharing!

  • I really LOVE THIS VIDEO and of course THIS SONG! I cry, each time I watch and listen this video. These boys sound like angels :).

  • "Fate che i fanciulli vengano a me !" Questi pueri cantores ti entrano nel cuore e vi lasciano abbondantemente semi di pace e fratellanza. Cosa di più toccante dell'esenzialità umana natura? Il canto e le note musicali segnano l'ultimo approccio con il creato e il Creatore. Francescanamente "pace e bene", benedettinamente "prega e lavora"!

  • A Voice from heaven.. Thanks for sharing.

  • AMEN!!!! so beautiful!!!!

  • It' s amazing! I'm singing it in the Christmas Concert and I love it.

  • avec une voix pareille le paradis lui est grand ouvert

  • Eles são talvez os melhores, apostar no timbre de voz de crianças é uma forma super tradicional de se cionseguir grandes resultados. Muitos astros iniciaram assim, um exemplo foi Michael Jackson, pena que ele tenha morrido para a sociedade entender que ele era um "Astro". São formas diferentes de abordar um mesmo modo de Arte. Michael era do Pop e os meninos do Côro da Basílica de St. Philips representam o que há de melhor no Sacro-erudito.

  • Why aren't singers like him famous?

  • They sound Angelic......

  • Beautiful song, beautiful high altar in the back as well!

  • LA BELLEZZA DEL PARADISO

  • This beautiful hymn brought tears to my eyes. It was sung at my wedding in 1955. Sadly, my dear wife passed away in 1992 at the age of 58.

  • @Shamrockman317 So sorry for your loss. God bless you, sir.

  • Look at my video of Panis Angelicus Please! Paisley Sings- Panis Angelicus (Duet w/ Karen Medrano)

  • These boys are: Sam Harper on the right and Jaymi Bandtock on the left, this started Libera

  • @MrWilliamdell

    You are right about the boy's names. Their voices went very well together. however they were never part of Libera. Jaymi & Sam sang from around 1984 to about 1989 on recordings released as "St. Philip's Boys' Choir". They are not mentioned on the recording from 1990 released under the group's name of that period, "Angel Voices". 1990 to 1998. It was for the release of the CD "Libera" in 1999 that the first use of "Libera" was made as the group's name .

  • Unbelievably great!

  • Magnifico, veramente bravi!!! Bellissimo.

  • They sing really good.. I hope they also sing good with a true heart and true understanding... :) "Bread of Angels, made the bread of men; The Bread of heaven puts an end to all symbols: A thing wonderful! The Lord becomes our food: poor, a servant, and humble. We beseech Thee, Godhead One in Three That Thou wilt visit us, as we worship Thee, lead us through Thy ways, We who wish to reach the light in which Thou dwellest. Amen."

  • this is an amazing duet. im doing it in another key, what key is this in? do you know where i could get the music?

  • "The Lord becomes our food: poor, a servant, and humble. We beseech Thee, Godhead, One in Three."

    Beauty. <3

  • This video is so beautiful! What voices..! But let me tell you that the music belongs to Franck.

    Thank you a lot !!

  • Magnificant

  • What does Jaymi sound like now that he is all grown up?

    Does he still have a high voice, or did he end up a Bass? I would love to hear him sing now. Does anyone know if he has any recent recordings?

  • Usually young men, lose their ability to hit alto notes as they hit puberty. It's part of our growing pains. I used to be in the choir.

  • Oh I know ... but Jaymi is the boy hitting the 1st Soprano notes. The notes are so clean and pure. I just wondered how low his voice went when it changed. :)

  • HEAVENLY!!!!

    THANK YOU!!!!

  • thank you..ser...

    i am christian.. my english no good.

    really i belive heaven and hell.

    only God son jesus. love love love.

  • @kimseongkon ROFL <3

  • 할렐루야!! 예수님!!! 자비을 베풀어 주시옵소서....용서하옵소서...

    당신은 유인한 하나님의 아들이시고 인간의 중보자 되심을 믿습니다. amen..

  • Hi, thanks for your comment, any chance you could provide a translation to English please?

    Best Wishes,

    Paul

  • Looks like Korean. Cut & paste it, then run it through Babel Fish.

  • Hi MrPinksBane, Thanks for the tip re BabelFish.

    Here's the result>

    Hallelujah!! Jesus!!! Holds a mercy, staring [op] from the cow.Under forgiving [op] from cow You are the son of the God whom lures and becomes the intercessor of the human being and believes. Amen.

    I suspect that "cow" might have been a mistranslation :)

  • Yep ... "cow" isn't in there. The online translator programs have limitations for sure. But we all got Kim's main idea ... which is the point of the song. Panis Angelicus is a beautiful song about Jesus that speaks to all souls - no matter the language :)

  • @paulban Try this version: "Hallelujah, Lord Jesus! Grant us Your mercy. Grant us Your forgiveness. I affirm my faith that You are the only begotten Son of God and the intercessor for mankind, Amen."

  • @paulban i am soory!. that is good means korean.. thank you.

  • @paulban The translation in English is: Hallelujah!! Jesus!!! Holds a mercy, staring [op] from the cow….Under forgiving [op] from cow… You are the son of the God whom lures and becomes the intercessor of the human being and believes. Amen.

  • @paulban When I ran it through wordreference I got something more along the lines of : Hallelujah! Jesus! Forgive and grant mercy and give me .... ...

    You lured is the Son of God, for who believe human Mediator

  • @kimseongkon

    한국사람이 이런것을 적은걸보면

    내가 한국사람인거 자랑스러움^^

  • Aww, so CUTE! T-T

  • questa canzone è magnifica

  • Ho sentito diverse versioni di "Panis angelicus", ma questa di Jaymi è la migliore, la più bella in assoluto.

    La sua voce, il suo atteggiamento mentre canta, assolutamente perfetto, consapevole. Bellissima voce.

  • god's angel beautiful

    !

  • che bella voce che ha questo ragazzo

  • God´s angel beautiful.

  • How absolutely beautiful. God's gift to us all, the beauty of children's angelic voices. May we return the blessings tenfold.

  • exelente

  • This was originally part of a poem written by St Thomas Aquineas for the Feast of Corpus Christi - (The Feast of the Body of Christ). It translates as "Bread of Angels" - the bread representing the body of Christ in the Catholic Mass.

  • brilliant, this is raw talent on show here

  • Absolutely beautiful. We had this sung at our Nuptual Mass at Southwark Cathedral in 1949 if I can remember rightly it still had bomb damage from the war earlier. An incredible peace of music by Ceser Franck.

  • Just a thank you to every one of you that has made such kind comments lately.

    These two boys certainly had an exceptional harmonic compatibility.

    We're so lucky that Robert Prizeman continues to create great beauty with his treble voices.

    Paul

  • real angel voices

  • so sweet...nice!!!

  • Wonderful. Many thanks.

  • Absolutely mind blowing, what a performance, very moving. Thanks for posting.

  • I just love these two boys together. Jaymi is really by himself but with sam they're awesome :)

  • What a lovely blend of voices!

  • this is awewsome... anyone know where I can pick up a CD of the choir?

  • The record on which this song was featured (Sing For Ever [BBC 692]) is no longer listed but the song features on the choir's Angel Voices 1 CD (Music Club MCCDX001) with a different soloist - Oliver Putland. All but the choir's first two CD's are available from record sellers (Amazon, Ebay, GEMM etc.) Suggest you join the Yahoo "Angel Voices" Group to learn all there is to know about the St. Philip's Boys' Choir and their subsequent appellations, "Angel Voices" and "Libera"

  • wow. can't believe I've never seen this before. I love these two together. :D

  • wow i was negative 4 years old here ^_^

  • What's the church's name?

  • Sorry, don't know. It's definitely not St.Philips. Does anyone else know?

  • Re the "which church" enquiry, I have been informed by a totally unimpeachable source that it was indeed a Catholic church in North London but the informant was unable to remember which one. (He wished to remain anonymous)

  • Ashamed who had the bad idea of accompanying this beatuful hymn with an electronic organ and even more with that foolish rhythmn in backgound. Why not use a real pipe organ and let the music do eveything?

  • Sorry it's not to your liking. Fortunately your view is very much a minority one. This choir and its musical director, Robert Prizeman went on to become the highly successful and quite unique boy choir, Libera, who appear regularly on television and perform live concerts all over the world.

  • What an absolutely brilliant video. How come I'd never seen it here before! Those two really were excellent. The camerawork on this vid is superb as well.

  • Who could top this? "Beyonce?!" Na! never...Boys:just watch out for those priests....in the background...

  • Heavenly.

  • Holy wow, 20 years ago! I was erm...14 then. They're my age, maybe. Funky:)

  • perfection

  • i love this music is nagelic voices ...

  • One of the very best.

  • i love this song!!!

  • awesome, thanks for posting!!!

  • thanks for posting these old videos up~ (they were taped before i was born!!) its amazing how even before they became libera, they're still super awesome~

  • From Songs of Praise July 1987. The first time on SOP probably.

  • Anyone know which London church this is from?
