I dont like your slideshow. and if you don't like my comment, too bad. Freedom of speech, bitch.

[CaroMarie]

@numbers3934 Like I said, I don't mind. It was small extra credit thing for Music Theory that I threw together my freshman year like.. the night before. Either way, its a slideshow about where I've been with one of my favourite choral pieces. Wasn't for you, but thanks for using your "freedom of speech". Well done.

LOVELY!

This piece of music...comments become irrelevant sometimes..! I have a friend here (N.Wales) who has a chapel which would be a great place to perform this piece so if there is anyone interested in performing at such a location...over looking the mountains of Snowdonia..get in touch..I would so love to see it perfomed live. The closest I have got to that is seeing/hearing the Janet Cardiff istalation at Tate Liverpoo in 2003...that was amazing...true soul music...

[Europecelte]

thank you a lot for this hymn of the force and the beauty of life and nature!

could you tell me who is singing, please? thanks a lot!

Spem in Allium is one of the most magnificent pieces ever written, and I fell in love with it the first time I heard it many years ago. I've sung in many early music ensembles but never managed to sing this piece. This was a great recording of it. I've heard it hundreds of times and it still makes me weep. Thank you.

[SteveWrona]

Not heard "Ecco si Beato Giorno" yet then? ;o)

[janeym]

I thought had instrumentation, too?

not as cool as straight up human voices haha!

[ptose]

great music, but what is the place in the photo with the castle at 9:16? Thank you in advance

[Anakay]

Não coloquei minha esperança em nenhum outro, senão em vós, Deus de Israel!

Lindo!

Saudações do Brasil

Spem in Alium"

Spem in alium numquam habui praeter in te

Deus Israel

qui irasceris

et propitius eris

et omnia peccata hominum in tribulatione dimittis

Domine Deus

Creator coeli et terra

respice humilitatem nostram

[ThomasGrillo]

Great music. Thanks for posting this.

[greateywhitecat]

There is hope in our soul.

Brilliant!

[rfn5]

it makes me cry. it's too beautiful, just too beautiful.

[mingweicello]

they are gorgeous! I mean not only the music, but the pictures!!!Thanks for uploading!By the way, were they taken those photos in Scotland?

[JimReaper2007]

Snowdon is in North Wales

[CaroMarie]

Pictures are from North Wales, England and Scotland. =)

As well as some random ones thrown in from my cabin in Tahoe, CA as well the University area in Missoula, MT and Glacier National Park in MT. The choir that shows up is my choir performing at the National Eisteddfod in Wales in 2006.

[janeym]

my goal is also to be able to sing this one day...

[RedRabbit1983]

This video would be good without the tacky powerpoint graphics.

[RendesKis]

(Close ur eyes ! :))

[CaroMarie]

I'm sorry when I made this it was on my old computer =P

Plus,

even with the "tacky powerpoint graphics" I still like it...its not about the video its about the music. =P

[hiroshi2020]

@CaroMarie

Could you make it more beautiful? No! It's absolutely beautiful! Thak You for uploading! The pictures are absolutely astounding, and the Music, oh the Music! Thomas Tallis! Excellent choice! You did absolutely wonderful! Absolutely Wonderful!

God Bless!

[gasness1]

I can't imagine getting a choir to learn it together. The parts are in like 6 poster-sized books, the way I saw it.

[Dutchynik]

And by the way, who is performing this?

[Dutchynik]

The music speaks for itself. The photography is spectacular, in particular the antiquities, castles, nature's beauty. Special effects were enjoyable. Thank you for posting this.

[silja159]

I have participated in this once in what ultimately a lousy performance. Yet it was a great privilege to have done it, and the few parts that worked were sublime.

[AngryRam]

Heard it today on the radio... what a fantastic piece.

[FatalAutumn]

this must have been insane to compose

[janeym]

yeah really! I would have gone insane! good ol' thommy was quite the musical genius.

[ericjacksonheights]

Besides (again) girls have beautiful voices in their own rights and so do women. A great part of what we like to hear depends on each individual listener. Besdies, yet again, if you like to sing, then you should sing. You have to enjoy singing first. That is what is the real prompting for singing, not tha having of an audiance, but that you feel the need to let out and sing.

[myyellowshirt]

Have you heard of Rias Kammerchor? I like the Monteverdi choir, the Ateneo Chamber Singers too. And yes Novo Concertante.

[ericjacksonheights]

Tallis Scholars are wondeful, but listen to the Kings College Boys Choir (Argo recording) also...

[janeym]

I heard that they are the best boys choir in the world. St. Pauls Cathedral choir is amazing, too!

[ericjacksonheights]

there is something very beautiful in the way the boys sing it.Rather than try and describe it, I would just say to hear it.

[janeym]

yeah, you're right, there is something so special about a boy's voice, and it also stinks to be a girl (like me!)

[ericjacksonheights]

why on earth would you say that? it's not good to be in a grass-is-always-greener frame of mind. There are limitations to everything. Men and women, boys and girls, all have a wonderful place in this world.

[janeym]

what I meant is that as a girl, I have a much less chance of having the clear, angelic sound of a boy treble. But I'm actually fine with being a girl in general!

[ericjacksonheights]

oh, good! I'm delighted to hear that! Besides, even if you were a boy, yuo'd have to become a man eventually and for most of your life, so no use regretting it. either way!

[janeym]

yes, that is a good point; I am very lucky to be able to sing for an extremely long amount of time while some poor boys aren't as appreciated after their voice changes. =(

[ericjacksonheights]

well, boys turn into men who can have nice voices also, just different. You sound like you are getting interested in good music at a young age. That's wonderful.

[janeym]

yes, that is also very true. Like Connor Burrowes, for instance. He was an amazing treble and now has the most gorgeous baritone voice (from what I've been told.) And also, yes, I love renaissance sacred choral music!

[ericjacksonheights]

even though these recordings are nice, there is nothing like live music. then, there is communication.

[janeym]

true. If I heard this live... well I don't think I can imagine it!

[janeym]

there are some other awesome recordings of this out there. they're all on itunes.

[xtremayne]

what more could i ask for.. Tallis and welsh countryside to boot
