The language is Latin. The Hymn is actually the "Angelus". When Catholics were Catholic, the prayer was said at 6am, noon and again at 6pm. The English translation is "The angel of the Lord declared unto Mary and she conceived of the Holy Ghost" followed by the Hail Mary prayer -then "Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to Thy word" -Hail Mary -and thirdly "And the word was made flesh and dwelt amongst us" followed by a third Hail Mary.Harvard Glee Club also sings this.
Also, does anyone know if they are singing the higher soprano parts down an octave? It seems like it should be higher if they are doing the full version.
Anyone if they are doing the 9-part version or one of the smaller versions? I'd like to work with this as an audition piece, but I don't know which to look at. If anyone can answer which of the 3 arrangements by biebl they use, it'd be awesome
Chanticleer is amazing! Im just now getting into them and I love them. So far their my favorite choir group. This song just seems to make me think of this beautiful girl I used to know named Maria and this other girl named Aeris and they were best friends and I got to meet them. Now I don't know where they are or ever will probably. But I miss them... this song just makes me think of them so much... Beautiful.
have followed this group for 25+ years ... I'm not sure how anyone could not believe in a higher power than man or believe in the heavens after listening to music like this!
I met them at the Bass Hall. They were amazing. I had the honor to talk to all of them. And three of them were our choir judges. They're wonderful, and very talented people.
@finchen1967 The music is titled Ave Maria, it's a 7 voice song. Tenor II, Tenor I, and Bass trio plus Tenor I, II, Baritone, and Bass voice parts as the chorus. Very beautiful song.
if you think this version is beautiful, you should hear the recording from their "our hearts joy" album! you'll absolutely love it, it's on itunes and youtube

@Eito87 Thank you for that information. I didn't want to buy $90 of music only to find I bought the wrong one(s).

There are so many renditions of this classic, but this has to be one of the best of all time.
