Westminster Cathedral Choir - Ave Maria(Mendelssohn)

[avemariaclark]

Hi, treblechoir99. I LOVE your collection of videos. I've only recently become a fan of treble choir music. A friend sent me a Youtube link to the American Boychoir singing Richard Clark's Ave Maria (plainchant). I became an instant fan. Just type "ave maria clark" in the Youtube search and enjoy!

I'm singing on this recording! Chorister 1990-1994.

[treblechoir99]

[SeyrusPD]

I am not even Catholic and I find this song absolutely beautiful.

[jerreece]

@SeyrusPD How could you not? It honors the Mother of God, the Queen of Heaven.

By our Lord's Grace, He gave His Mother to us as He died upon the Cross. And we honor her for the grace, faith, courage, and strength of character which she has displayed to us. She is the epitome of a Woman.

Absolutely beautiful!! I loved this piece when I sang it with Three Spires Singers In Truro Cathedral. I suspect Andrew Nethsingha, our conductor then, was a contemporary of Andrew Carwood?

[heidimarieli]

this one is amazing.

[pjdonagh]

Is this the same Andrew Carwood who is now Director of music at St. Paul's Cathedral?

[treblechoir99]

Yes It's him. Also lay clerk at Christ Church, Oxford.

[pjdonagh]

Thank you. I thought it must be. I first remember him as a Choral Scholar at St John's in the 1980's. He has certainly come a long way!!

I could go on and on with words for this choir, so beautifully trained. They are what make this cathedral known to people. Great Work! Thank you, for posting.

We sang this with our choir in Denmark and I had the tenor solo. . I enjoyed it so much, this peace is just so amazing. . Thanks for posting!

[treblechoir99]

I'm sure, rewarding for you.

[kyllerd]

Hvikket kor synger du i ? Jeg synger selv i herning kirkes drengekor, vi sang den i Berlin Dohm sidste eterår m. Peter Lodahl som solist.

[StudsbyDK]

Jamen jeg synger skam også i Herning kirkes drengekor. . Gætter på at det er Andreas der skriver? Nicklas her. . :) Og ja Peter var solist i Berlin mens jeg måtte nøjes med Skagen :)

[kyllerd]

Når ja, klart hehe lidt skægt at støde ind i dig herinde, hører tit den her sang herinde, den er så mega nice.

[StudsbyDK]

Havde ærlig talt heller ikke regnet med at støde på dig. . Den er rigtig flot ja, og netop denne her udgave er så godt udført. .

[StanMMarsh]

what a song, this is such a beautiful rendition of this song. it made me feel just flat out good about myself. i felt like i was at peace. i put this song on and close my eyes, and it takes all my worries away. truly magnificent...

[arniemazmax]

It's not Megadeath is it?

[hsoenario]

That is magnificent! There is always this special timbre of English choirs, amazing singing, and the tenor has such a pure projection.

Thank you so much, it all adds to the Christmas spirit.

[renaissance27]

Andrew Carwood has an amazing voice. So versatile. I've heard him live in concert quite a few times. He is my favorite tenor for choral music. I was a vocal student of his for a short period and he is a wonderful teacher. I can't forget to add that he is a beautiful and loving individual and I am so grateful to have met him.

He became Director of Music at St Paul's Cathedral, London in September 2007.

[hsoenario]

You are soooo fortunate! Are you still singing and what voice?

We are so lucky to have youtube and all those generous people who take the time to share!

[gabaude81]

AH OUI!!!!!!!

Magnifique.
