There needs to be a movie about this school, this teacher and these kids ... (oh, yes, and the music, and the God it glorifies).

[robcat2075]

"We're sorry, this video is no longer available."

is the message I get when i try to play this today.  :-(

[robcat2075]

I enjoyed that.

[antoniachandler]

A Mennonite quartet -- 4 wonderful young

men -- sang at my 14-year-old nephew's

funeral. I'll never forget it. I'm so

grateful to them for the beautiful music.

[SingInTune]

Thanx guys for bringing back palestrinas work. Peeps our age don't appreciate what this music feels like to sing anymore. MORE AIR

[JFman00]

I really enjoy the minimal direction there is. Nice to see a group that is in tune with each other enough to sing with one musical mind. Pitch drifts south, especially in the benedictus, but understandable. Tone, phrasing, diction, all fantastic.

[edsprisma]

Beautiful, inspiring... amazing!

[Smultrongruvan]

You never seem to have enough voices when you sing Palestrina but you really nailed this piece, wonderful!

[flyboy0504]

Awesome to see this kind of music from Mennonites. Singing is alive and well among the Mennonites. I'm a huge Chanticleer fan and you guys are right up there.

[paulie13g]

Holy crap. No pun intended. You guys are unbelievable. Excellent performance! Inspiring.

[Errrrrn210]

I love it, you guys are amazing, really!

[whoami288]

Sublime. This is one of the best recordings of Palestrina's Requiem that I have ever heard. More!

[yttiksdrawkcab]

Utterly flawless. It brought me to tears. I've never heard anything more beautiful.

[svitanek]

WOW OMG... Y'all are FREAKING AMAZING... BEAUTIFUL VOICES... If I were in the Filming business, all of you would DEFINALLY be in a movie/show! Good job ALL OF YOU!!! KEEP SINGING!

[saintandrews84]

Wow you guys have something very special.

You listen to one another , able to read the accustics of your surroundings while watching each other and can manipulate the voice to grasp the best sound.

It dosen't matter if your singing Tallis, Byrd, Palestrina etc

The music is so well writing that it needs the finest of everything to bring out a true uplifting piece.

[kementari04]

absolutely beautiful. the great maestro would be proud. keep up the good work.

[JACOBDUPREE]

brooks you rock man when are you gonna come back to memorial we miss you man!!!!

[rwh1122]

You guys should definately come up with a CD. You could be a great financial asset to your college,especially the music program. You would definately draw a following with a tour. You would sound great in Duke Chapel at Duke University.

[aiden1603]

you guys are great ... any chance of going to jakarta Indonesia ... i'd love to see you concert ... in Indonesia .... hehehehehe

[NeoMalikov]

This is awesome. I really wanna join a group like this sometime in the future, I'm a bass. You guys sound REALLY good.

[PianoFellow]

Excellent job! I love Palestrina...I direct a junior high choir and we performed "Adoramus Te" a few years ago for competition. Keep up the great work!

[Cantus67]

Nice job guys, which Palestrina mass are you singing here?  Send a reply when you get the chance. Rick Wheeler - Music Editor, Ars Nova Singers.

[BrooksFabianG]

Hey thank you for the compliment. It is from the Missa Pro Defunctis.

Brooks Gingerich

[Cantus67]

Wow, I should have known that. It has too much of the Requiem Mass from the Gregorian. Great work. Merry Christmas

[klmnjkjn]

Whoever is singing the high part, NICE JOB! :)

[hahaipwnj00]

you guys are so good.

[lauriesinger7]

this is amazing.

[mmmmeli]

This is so beautiful!!!!

[PhatBaconTSGK]

they have the good idea of singing in an open gym area for fuller sound and echo. very nice. i have suddenly become a fan of vocal music O.o

[thybewitching]

OMG. This brings tears to my eyes. Awesome. Palestrina is very difficult. Y'all do it justice. Thanks for keeping this inspiring talent alive. more...more...more!

[odhran01]

Outstanding performance--practice, whatever you want to call it. I would love to know where these guys are based. From one skinny "double-bass" to another--KUDOS!

[odhran01]

Perhaps if I had read a little more, I would have found where they're from. Goshen College, Goshen, Indiana, an Anabaptist-Mennonite private Christian College.  Kudos to them.

[iago333nautica]

Bravo, Farther Along !!! Bravo, Palestrina: "Principe della Musica".

"holy, holy, holy lord, God of power and might. Heaven and earth are full of Your glory. Hosanna in the highest, blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord, hosanna in the highest"
