Pange lingua (György Orban) - University of Utah Singers

Superb performance.

Very beautiful- Our little choir in Illinois will be the first high school choir to sing this particular piece in America for our competition on Friday. We constantly look up this video, and try to model ourselves after this version. Thank you for so much inspiration!(:

Thanks! The composition is a reminder that the Catholic faith is ever old, and ever new, and reaches all cultures.

No such thing as German-Latin. Is there such a thing as Chinese-German? In addition it sounds comical - laughable. The singing of the composition is excellent. The beauty of the text, the flow, and its vibratory level are ruined! The composer should have found a German text of some kind. You could have substituted the word ping-pong and achieved the same results and who would have known the difference. Sing my tongue the Savior's Glory. I don't feel that at all.

Historically, Latin was pronounced using the rules of the local language. This is how the composer heard it in his head and therefore the goal of the choir to reproduce. You may be interested in reading:

Comical for you - natural for us. Your tongue sings that way, ours this way. Both are welcome!

Greetings from Hungary - great recording! :)

Clearly, you´re ignorant and have no idea whatsoever what you´re talking about!! Please refrain from making such unqualified comments!

[CD122344]

And you do! You're a typical YouTube commenteur - comment - no substance! Qualify your comment dummy. All you did was blow hot air.

[CD122344]

I don't where they get that pronunciation for the word Pange. It is Pahn-jeh leen-gua!

[UofUtahSingers]

This piece is to be sung in German-Latin as opposed to Roman-Latin. Thus it is pronounced Pahn-gay leen-gva. We were privileged to be able to work with Mr. Orban while in Hungary this summer, on this and another of his pieces called 'Mundi Renovatio'. This piece is also sung in German-Latin. You can watch a performance of this piece on our channel as well.
