  • ang ganda ng song na ito it makes me calm and prayerful.....thanks sa madz kc they mae this beautiful rendition......

  • ganda ng message ng kanta 

  • nakakamiss ^^

  • This is MADZ, batch 94...

  • This is THE madz. I have a copy of this from THEM. you have to remember that iba ang tunog ng choir when you hear them upfront from listening to them from a recorded file.

  • @carpenuctum i agree esp. right out of their mouth, nakakanindig balahibo, the voice integrates into one then penetrates right into your bones, simply beautiful ......

  • From time to time, I come back to this video to look for answers. It never fails on me. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing rendition, I love this the best. Thank you, thank you.

  • yah.. i dont this is Madz tlaga.. there's something off bout how they pronounce the words.. parang i cant and i wont believe na ganun lng ang level ng madz.. sorry

  • This isn't the Madz, OP :)

  • This doesn't sound like the Madz....

  • I agree, this is not the madz, mads has good "Accent"

  • such a beautiful song the choir sings this song at my church. may God surround the world with love, hope, and faith.

  • this doesn't sound like the MADZ....

  • this is not the MADZ.... 

  • astig yung version nila na may solo countertenor sa umpisa. I hope someone had that, I am only able to witness/hear that arrangement sa mga concerts nila.

  • i like the dynamics!

  • pm me pag interested ka makipagpalit

  • i love this song. my fellow seniors and i sang this at our last school mass. its so beautiful!

  • Jesuit Communications invites you to a fund-raising concert for the benefit of the Jesuit Seminarians. Entitled MADZ GOES JESUIT, the concert features the world-renowned Philippine Madrigal Singers with Fr. Manoling Francisco, SJ and special guest, Mr. Noel Cabangon.

  • this isnot a madrigal!

  • @nathen92 you're right in saying that this is not a madrigal. let me breeze you thru this world-renowned group then. the madz sing contemporary songs to cater to a wider audience. however madrigals remain a staple in their repertoire. since its inception in the early 60s, they've been competing in international choral festivals most notably in europe where they bested other choirs in categories such as madrigals, sacred, classical , contemporary and folk music.

  • What a Very Inspiring kind of song and singers, you make us proud as a Filipino, more power to MADZ singers all i can say is God Bless you guys in all your Competitions, congratulations guys.

  • I am glad and proud to be a Filipino and a UP alumna. God bless the MADZ and more successes in the near future. Good job! Ciongratulations. You are really world class. I am so proud of you! Keep up the good work. Let His will be done in his time...

  • wonderful and inspiring

  • very, very, very, very soft voices this Philippine madrigal singers had

  • beautiful, just beautiful. thank you for sharing.

  • PALITAN TAYO NG PIYESA :)

  • gusto ko talaga yung tenor part pag sa chorus. dun sa 'an instrument'. para sa akin napakamature ng tunog. :) go basses pa rin! haay di ako nagsasawa sa kantang 'to. :)

  • I'm crying while hearing this song... I feel so sad... dunno why...

    what have i done? What should I do? Make me an instrument of Thy Peace, o God...

  • Napapaluha aq..amp :')

    pati dun sa PARAISO :')

    MADZ: lagi nio na lng pinapaluha yung mga fans nio sa mga ganitong klaseng songs :') ...

    More power Idols!

  • superb performance! d best

  • my God..i love this piece...to God be the glory

  • this is a very nice song.. but i think nice would be an understatement so i go for magnificent.. and the madz did a very wonderful job.. the bass part of this song is very hard and very beautiful at the same time..

  • ".....it is in GIVING that we receive..........". Very beautiful rendition of this wonderful song...........

  • this is my fav.. and i download it.. its like im in heaven...

  • I heard this magnificent piece in Spain in 1996 at the FICU festival in Valencia! ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITES!!!!

  • one of the best songs ever written.

    so tough to sing but full of emotions, it always move me to tears...

  • ...ho avuto il grande privilegio, anni fa, di frequentare un corso di approfondimento con la Maestra Andrea veneracion, allora ottantenne accompagnata dai madrigal singers...e dopo una cena insieme chiesi ad Andrea di eseguire questa preghiera ...in tutta la mia vita non ho mai provato emozioni più forti ed intense nell'ascolto ...il coinvolgimento ed il pathos che esprimevano era 100 volte più forte della loro perfezione vocale ed esecutiva...mi sono commosso riascoltandolo adesso...

  • hai ragione, astrore... :-)

  • ang sarap kantahin nito!! grabe!! ang taas!! hehe! kinakanta namin ito sa paris namin, ang ST.francis of Asissi ng bongabon, nueva ecija!! sana madiscover din ang ST.FRANCIS OF ASISSI MUSIC MINISTRY yan po ang samahan namin!! isa nah si kuya JC ng philippine madrigal singer ang nagturo samin ng piece nah yan! kuya jc i hope na kilala mo pa ako!! it's me po dhen dhen ilagan (SOPRANO1) ehehe
  • nmi2ss ko 2loy yung dti kong choir nung has=yskul..kinanta nmin to..grabe ang hirap pero msya pag nagwa nio ma22unan ung piece.. prang achievement.. it sooths my mind whenever i hear dis song :)

  • .kinanta namin to nung choral fest sa skul namen.tutuo na, kapag knanta mu ito.talagang peaceful sya ..nice phil. madrigals.=]

  • beautiful Jesus is singing to us through these women!

  • one of the toughest piece weve learned haayy wawa naman tenors hir..

    pero if you really get the message of it wala na ung HIRAP fulfillment and happiness na ang kapalit...

  • I agree.. naging contest piece namin yan eh..

  • 59k na halos nag view nito... hehe...

  • yeah and after 3 months, 69k ++ na :D

  • wow

    touching!!

    ganda ng interpretation nd dinamics..

    galing nyu po

  • Too bad i can't find this version on itunes. I love the peacefulness of this song.

  • men with swords & guns with hate in their heart, not Christ. Christ lived, died & rose again in love. If you hate evil, hate all evil in the name of any God or money or greed or jealousy or just plain hate.

    I pray your heart is opened to the love & tenderness of Christ so you can challenge hatred & wrongdoing in yourself & in the world around you in His name as in Him you have freedom to know real love. Freedom to love that doesnt include killing anyone but giving them your cloak. Love & peacex

  • are u sure?

  • sure. anu b un?

  • shit song end of.listen to young love by mystery jets u saddos who comment about absoulout an utter crap! GET A LIFE!!!!!!!!!

  • I was pretty angry to see your comment marked as spam. i reposted it.

  • mahirap kantahin..pero pag nakuha..such a relief..thank you Lord

  • Such bikering in the face of such beauty.

  • Wow I can't believe someone would actually though that EGP is some kind of a so so competition. it  is just plain logic European Grand Prix that means of all Europe or perhaps in the whole world that they are the best. Queen Elizabeth Choir Competition?? yeah right it sounds good because the name of Queen Elizabeth sounds prestigious to some people!!

  • another observation on kerobi11´s observations

    the website of the queen elisabeth usic competition in belgium, for the vocal category, lists the the participants (who were laureates) who were all individuals, not choirs.

  • re: an observation on kerobi11´s observations

    and one thing more, if you refer to the director as the Madz' present director, i opine that saying that "he should stop playing it safe and join some challenging festivals" might...MIGHT...be interpreted as "having to" prove his worth. I think that being the choirmaster of the Madz is in itself a proof of one's musical worth in the field of choral conduting, and of one's musical talent.

  • i really love this song...plus the way they sang it, really touches my heart...

  • Actually They won the EUROPEAN GRAND PRIX so that means they're world class...

  • not really. and frankly speaking, the EGP isn't that much of a cut-throat competition considering that it was only inaugurated 20 years ago, plus considering that mostly the same choirs compete every year.

    their director should stop playing it safe and join some challenging festivals like the queen elisabeth music competition which has been around for decades, and since the madz likes to play it madrigal-style, they should join some of those too.

  • hi!

    one observation. the fact the that EGP has just recently started compared to other competitions doesn't take away its importance, given that the participants in the EGP had been champions of other competitions. and whether the participants of the EGP are more or less the same, it only means that they have the capacity to win in the competitions.

  • lol you're kidding right? The EGP is the most prestigious chorale singing competition in the world. And that's just one of the other numerous international competitions they have won.

  • Kerobi11, you seem to be an authority in the field of chorale competition or music for that matter. I respect your opinion, as everyone is entitled to his own personal opinion. But please don't belittle anybody's achievement.

  • @kerobi11, if you're complaining that much, why not tell it directly to Sir Mark Carpio. And besides, you have to understand that there is absolutely no perfect choir, however there are EXCELLENT choirs (and madz is one of them).

  • nag flay ngay sila dito.. lol..

  • the best choir in the whole wide uni..ay world lang pa la...galing!!!

  • hi everyone ! this is a nice song... weve just sang it in a church program... would like to greet my beloved sisters and brothers in faith...

    A.Y. SDA

  • too much vibrato on the sop and bass section. use control and don't show off too much, make sure to sound as one. tenor went flat on 2:29. lovin the momma alto sound. very good and subtle dynamics. meno vibrato on all parts, this is not an aria.

    other than that, i'd give it a B+.

  • arte mo ha... hindi maarte ang diyos pag dating sa ganito. it sounded just perfect..

  • hon, honestly speaking, i think wala nang pakialam ang judges sa Diyos pagdating sa international contests, specially from a "world renowned" choir who's singing this.

    you obviously need to hear other choirs do this other than the madz (who is really undisputed, but have their off days).

    and btw, that's Diyos, with a capital D.

    eyeliner20, kudos to your comment.

  • What a know-it-all. Sheesh.

  • actually, kerobi11 is right. You guys are being too touchy. Have you ever heard of constructive criticism?

  • Amen.

    Thanks for sharing. I love it!

  • beautiful =) but technically (this is just me being picky) this isn't a madrigal as they were secular songs, not religious.

    Still a lovely piece though.

  • may parts lang na di maxado maganda ung mga pasok...

    and may pars din na obviously flat ang tones.. 95%perfect.. hhahahhahahaha

  • wow! narinig mo un! idoL! ^____^

  • very very very very nice... what can i say... xD

    basta, npaka gnda po tlga....!! ^^

  • ang gling galing nyo nman poh!!idol ko poh tlaga kayo!!

    keep up the good work!!

  • May all who see this video feel its true essence and with it, the prayer to be indeed God's instrument of His Peace. After all, this all is His and we were created to be also indeed, His instruments. God bless us all.

  • one of my favorite......

  • this is a holy song........

  • wow! kahit cno pa man members! talagang magaling ang conductor nila!!! haneps! idol!!

  • Hello, di kaya permanent ang singers ng Madz... kaya in every batch that composes the madz, it could be considered a new rendition only that of the different singers but of the same group as they are identified. di bah??? LOL

  • It is a wonderful song..thanks for posting it.. =)

  • it does'nt matter who sings this song...let's just all be an instrument of love, hope and peace.

  • yung title sa itaas ng video nakalagay PHILIPPINE MADRIGAL SINGERS: "Prayer of Saint Francis". Ilang madrigal singers ba ang kilala mo sa pilipinas at may kilala ka bang choir sa pilipinas na madz ang ginagamit na name aside from the madz that everybody knows except you which is the madrigal singers nga?

  • siguro naman kung hindi totoong madrigal singers nga ang kumanta nito e hindi na nila kailangang magpanggap na madz sila dahil maganda ang tunog nila di ba? try nyo maghanap ng mga lumang records ng madz nandoon tong kantang to dahil narinig ko na to dati. this very same version. at yung nagsasabi na di daw madz ito,iba ibang batch po ang mga members ng madz kaya medyo nababago ang tunog nila like yung soprano, may batch na gusto ko ang tunog ng soprano may batch naman na maganda na din.

  • Not the madz.

    The caption says: "A touching and inspiring version of the Madz's Prayer of St. Francis!" which presumably means some other choir sang this.

  • beautiful sound :)

  • wow amazing gling ng madz ang lalamig boses nla prang mga anghel cla xarap paki2ngan wla nang tatalo sa knla.... i love you philippine madz

  • Thank you for sharing your creative work. The singers (and the recording) are superb!

    Many of the visuals are effective but at times can be a little unpolished and distracting, such as the paintings of Jesus.

  • good but not dat good.. my mga nauuna di sbay2 ang hinga... prang di xa madz... pro it sounds good...

  • It was beautiful. Thank you for making it. :)

  • I really like madz!!..Hayz..U,,see,,amm..We also have a choir..Honestly,,a good choir..We'd compete and done some concerts..But,,compare 2 MADZ,,we're nothing but a useless!!..

    ha..Ha..

    MADZ is such one the best ever!!..

  • well diz song is very hirap kantahin hehehehehe eh pno kinakantang grup nmin yan well sna makaya pra ky GOD tnx MADZ ur d one who idolize our Grup hir in Nueva Ecija. . SFAMM(St.Francis of Assisi Music Ministry Chorale)

  • kakayanin nyo yan basta ededicate nyo para kay God evry word,every sound and every little thing you can do especially kung kakanta kayo

  • i love this version of the song

    anyone know where i can download

    it? thank you :)

    amazing!

  • this song is very a touching song because this song is one of our favorite ( my mom and i)and during her burial we sung this song as a tribute for her ...wherever you are mom i love you....

  • 5:20

  • Lovely song, Thank you!

  • Praise the Lord for this wonderful song. Start putting your attention to the message of this song, and realize that VOICES, music, this world and every details inside is a gift from GOD. ANY batch of madrigal singers are nothing if they are not surrender themselves to GOD. Because we are noothing but a small dust compare to the Lord. May God bless you all

  • This doesn't sound like Madz. The pronunciation of words is BAAAAD! So is the breathing. Not at all like the Madz.

  • i think the rendition of the song and the pronunciation of every words were ok.

  • the quality of the sopranos of the present batch is far more superior.. :)

  • this song is one of the greatest song we've sung ever, alam niyo ba na ang kantang ito ang kinanta namin sa aming first chorale competition sa BF Homes Caloocan, and this song gave as the crown as the chamopion in this chorale competition, that's why we're very thankful dahil nakakuha kami ng piyesa ng kantang ito, keep up the good work madz, you're an inspiration to our group. god bless always to all of you

  • chakaness

  • Insecure?

  • truly fantastic,,,excelent! i can say i dont have enough words i would like to join with you guys!!

  • Ok, ngayon ko lang binasa yung mga older comments. So it is indeed of an older batch, kaya pala. Kaya nakaka-off yung sops dahil nga sa diction... And the basses, are really out of color.

    But in the over all, it's still effectively touching.

  • Anong batch ng Madz ito? Touching song, emotions are very much felt. Well, bothering lang overall yung basses in most parts notably at 3:02 (tone color?). Pati rin sopranos 00:38 onwards sa melody part (I can imagine it sung more beautifully). I'm quite sure this is an old recording.

  • what's with the "thumbs down"... Bawal ba magsabi ng observations na negative?

  • Nothing wrong with giving an opinion. You are entitled to that. I think you know your musical execution and you raise good points.

    I think it's what you implied about the older generation that is a bit lacking in respect. Bases and Sopranos are terrible because it was of an older batch. Show some more respect.

  • You were implying that it was bad because it was because it came from an older batch. Opinions are welcome. Nothing wrong with criticizing. But yours had a "I'm better than you" tone to it. Hell, you could well be. But you're arrogant.

  • I believe you're a former Madrigal or at least affiliated to it. It's called delicadeza. Or professional courtesy. That affiliation should be considered when making public criticisms.

  • pasensiya naman kung yan ang dating sa iyo. I truly didn't know kung anong batch yung kumanta nito kaya ko tinanong. What I was implying was that this couldn't be the present batch of the Madz, because the present batch sound way much better. Parang overly negative naman ang reaction mo sa post ko, wag paranoid... peace!

  • oh and I'm not affiliated with the group... so I guess hindi ako covered sa sinasabi mong I have to consider the affiliation in making public criticisms.

  • At ano itong "I should respect the older batch" thing na sinasabi mo? If I may express my opinion, yes, I do believe the EGP 2007 batch is the best Madz group yet.

  • Just for my curiosity, how long have you been watching them? I've seen not a few batches since I first went to the UP Conservatory of Music in 1985. All batches have their strengths and weaknesses. Can you really say in all honesty that the 2007 batch is the best? They may well be but I just want to know the basis you have for making that claim.

  • to feed your curiosity, I based my judgement on the recordings of the previous batches of the Madz (I think I have all of them). That may be a limited experience of their sound, but then again, I can't watch any of their concerts, can I? I have watched most of the major concerts of the madz since 2000.

    1985 CoM ka pala, if you're affiliated with the group and were offended by my comment pasensiya na, I didn't mean to offend the oldies.

  • My apologies if my comments also seemed harsh. Problem with the internet is that words on the screen do not carry the person's true intent and can easily be misconstrued.

    Like I said earlier, the different batches have their own unique strengths. Personally, I'm inclined to the '97 batch and the early 90s. But that's me.

  • Great that you have the old recordings. Actually, my quarrel was more for those who make bold claims without basis. Initially I thought you were one of them. But turns out, that's not the case. I can respect your opinion then.

    Peace!

  • Thanks. peace!

  • outstanding!

  • gave me goosebumps. ang galing talaga nila :)

  • beautiful...absolutely beautiful...i cried my eyes out...

  • i love the madz. galing sobra. :) go tito sheen! haha. pero di nga. they sing so well! iba talaga pag pinoy

  • Wow... Nice piece. God bless you.

  • request nmn sa madz... kantahin namn nila ung "All I ask of you". kanta un sa phantom of the opera... hihihi sana marinig ko kung panu nila kakantahin un... ganda kc ng piyesa pra sakin

  • OO nga narinig mo rin pala yung versio nila non grabe enigmatic ang pagkanta, nakakamagnet. baka may kilala ka non na may file thanks

  • guys may concert ang madrigals sa philamlife U.N. AVe. auditorium thsi oct. 27, 2007

  • very nice piece and very good interpretation.

    madz now has different quality and i find it very pleasing sa ears. pero magaling din ung interpretation ng batch na to.

    madz forever!

    pax!

  • galing ng tenor kaso prang ung isang soprano ngsharp

  • nice

  • A really nice piece..

  • i really love this song.we even had this as our contest piece four years ago.and that was my very first choral competition.1st year highschool pa lang ako nun.Bukas Palad ung guest nila eh.nkakamiss nman ung dati kong choir nung highschool.

    hanggang ngaun favorite ko prin ung song na ito.nkakainlove.

    nanotice ko na may hinga siya sa intro.

  • bello

  • This is the piece that my old group, The UST Singers, sang to win @ the Rotary Club Choral Fest back in 92. Thank you Mr. Robert Delgado for this musical arrangement. To the present batch of the Madz, thank you for visiting Lincoln, CA ... and galing nyo! The smoothest blending i've ever heard. I will always be a fan so please keep it up. Congratulations on your recent victory! Ang cute nung isang Soprano, ano kaya ang name niya? :)

  • You're correct! This piece and Ave Maria were the intruments for UST Singers' initial success! :)

  • Nakakaiyak ang rendition nila dito... IDOL talaga kayo nang nakakarami... sana mag clinic kayu dito sa mindanao. lalo na sa MSU-IIT..

  • jascaesar, madrigal singers talaga kumanta nito. and i can assure u cla talaga 'to... i'd been with them kahit in a short period of time lang...

  • yah.. iys trully the madz.. hahahaha eto yung batch nila maam anna way back 98 pa ata if im not mistaken... or sir oscar pantaleon nung 94.. hehehehe

  • mayroon ba silang cd nitong mga kanta nila? kung available dto sa US.. sana meron.

  • This is MADZ. I'm certain. In my copy the audience can be heard applauding right after the performance. Sometime in live performances, the recording is not good depending upon the acoustics of the venue and the adjustments of the microphones. Peace^^

  • sana po magkaroon ang madz ng tour in every provinces and have their workshop/seminar.. there are a lot of chorale who look up to them the way they give prestige and honour to our country... sana lahat ng choir sa pinas would have a good camaraderie

  • ooops! WE ARE FILIPINOS!

  • whoever choir group sung this,, for me..the best,,,for the glory of God!

  • maybe this isn't the MADZ.i always watch them in UP sing this piece and it is a different version altogether. even the diction is different.

  • this is the madz.. iba na kasi tunog ng madz ngayon.. I think this was the batch of maam anna abeleda and Sir arwin tan.. alumnus of Madz

  • It's not the madz.

  • wala jud q kadungug kay hinay kaau ang server dri.....

  • this is the song of our beloved patron in Naga parish Cebu...i like it the most especially sung by the madrigal singers...five stars for them!

  • para sa akin, di lang 5 stars,kundi Galaxy of Stars!

  • hindi lang galaxy... stars of a billion universe ang nararapat na rating nila!!! hihihi

  • hindi lang stars of a billion universe...unlimited, heavenly and Glorious stars till the end of time ang nararapat na rating nila!!! hehehe., ano hihirit ka pa?

  • hindi lang stars of a billion universe...unlimited, heavenly and Glorious stars till the end of time ang nararapat na rating nila!!! hehehe., ano hihirit ka pa?

  • jamesxoxo30> This hurtng your ear? LOL n the circle of life doesnt?? HA HA somethin wrong with you.. tee hee

  • There's nothing wrong with me. Maybe its you. Check your earlobes, wax may have blocked it since you were born.. tee hee hee

  • this is The Philippine Madrigal Singers Batch 1993. This was taken from their concert in Rottenberg Germany in 1993.

  • ur making me proud..im a student from st.francis academy of quezon city..very nice!!

  • I dont think this is the Madz singing... the diction is kinda off. listent to how they pronounce the words "instrument" and "injury", geez it is hurting my ear! Sorry but, this might be some other choir singing...

  • the best version for me, so solemn.

  • where can i buy cd or cassette tape of prayer of st francis pls send to my

    narinig ko na to from ateneo glee club ang galing nakakaiyak im a semenarian

  • semenarian?!?!

  • excellent!!!!!!!watching n listening it, make me wanna cry...God Bless u all

  • pero naka falsetto ang tenor pero makapal lufet

  • this is not the Philippine Madrigal Singers' version. they are a lot better than this choir who sung this. synchronization and modulation is the Madz' forte but this video defies it all.

  • Robert Delgado's arrangement really is superb!!! Haven't seen you, Robert, for quite sometime! Congrats, Madz!!!

  • wow!!! that's the best "Prayer of St. Francis" I've ever heard!!! Keep it Up Madz!!!
