Ubi Caritas by Ola Gjeilo

[EchoedSentiments]

Gorgeous diction, the vowels are fantastic.

[Squawkers23]

We're singing this in our High School chamber choir. Of course, it's not going to sound quite this good, but it's such a beautiful song. Definitely one of the most amazing pieces of music we've done in awhile.

divas need to calm their vibrato down and blend

[heyheyheyloser84]

aweeesome!!!! We're singing this in the UNC Women's Glee Club but I totally wish we had guys as great as these to sing with us ;)

[linzie78]

[TheDDe9]

Very good, probably the best on youtube! Feel free to listen to my version of this, one octave lower!

Wow--fun to see a (fairly) recent U of I Concert Choir performance (and see Dr. Alwes singing, rather than conducting). Brings back memories (1981-1984--can it be so long ago?!)

[MusiquedeReves]

So heavenly!

[BubblesCandy12]

I am in Arizona All State Choir, and I have to sing it this year. I'm a little worried about how I say the words.

[InfoTotheMax7]

I'm in national chorus and we are singing this song

[paulinemarieg]

i was in the nm all-state treble choir, and sang this song. we totally rocked it without the guys!

[ESN31]

Beautifully done! 5/5 I hope the all-women's choir at All State can pull this off; it's beautiful.

[KaylaJoyLovesYou]

@ESN31 I'm going to be in that choir! (:

[TheMrsuccessful2011]

STUNNING!!! I love all the harmonizing!! :)

[myyogooduserperson]

TEAR JERKING.

[xzomgeiikx]

@myyogooduserperson isnt it?

man

[BeccaCullen111]

we are singing this in our chamber singers and 2:16 gives me goosebumps everytime we sing it. I LOVE THIS PIECE. this choir is very good but i wish i could see more emotion.

[mikitty9750]

im doing this song in choir

i love this song it is SOOOOOO beautiful!!!

[oOheyitsmonicaOo]

we're also singing this in our honors choir!! im pumped. This was amazing

[anna6716]

This is very good. My concert choir is singing this song.

[chlsmoe]

i miss singing this song so much. It is one of those pieces where it doesn't matter how many times you sing it, or hear it, it gives you shivers. soooo beautiful

[leafsdudecharlie]

I did this piece with The Ohio State University Chorale in the fall and it's a stunning piece and this choir here did a spectacular job! Gorgeous!

[Infamouslobster]

I love this.

[BattleGroupOmega]

Beautiful. My only complain, just from a personal standpoint on this wonderful arrangement, is I don't like how Gjeilo resolves the last chord to that major chord. I would have, personally, preferred the "-men" of Amen to stay at the bottom of that descending line. But that's just my personal taste. It's truly an awe-inspiring piece. Check out Duruflé's Ubi Caritas as well. Very pretty.

[405232SING]

Ubi caritas et amor. Deus ibi est.

Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.

Exultemus et in ipso jucundemur.

Timeamus et amemus Deum vivum.

Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero.

AMEN

[405232SING]

Where charity and love is, God is there.

The love of Christ has gathered us together.

Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Let us revere and love the living God.

And from a sincere heart let us love one another. AMEN

[musicallytwilight]

you guys sound AMAZING!!! we are singing this in my high school choir and we'll be lucky if we even hear the guys...=( but anyways you guys sound really really good!!!

[IXxHades]

beautiful i am in da cantari and we are performing this piece on november 4. you guys sound great!!!!!

[TaylorComstock]

my college choir is doing this, and I must say, you have an awesome tenor section!!!

[kjdaugirdas]

beautiful... this one and Sleep! Good ol' fashioned CC artistry.

[pianist1972]

More like Chet Alwes artistry!

[lfulord]

Sorry to break it to you, but this particular song, Dr. Alwes didn't even touch. He worked on sound in other songs with us, but this was all Mr. McDavitt

[pianist1972]

Perhaps he didn't conduct the piece...but the "CC artistry" you refer to is Chet Alwes' doing.  Believe me, I know. I was there for many years.

[lfulord]

That I can't and will not argue with. Check the other songs I've put up. I especially like the Whitacre and Della Jollo

[Barbie246810]

In this version of ubi caitas, the first part is soprano, the second part is alto ant the third part is s and a unison, but they break into parts on the unison part

[caitlin13660]

beautiful sound, but not enough second soprano
