This video is a fraud -- the audio comes from a different source than the video. The audio soundtrack is a recording from 1998, Los Angeles Master Chorale & Paul Salamunovich (>100 singers, search 'o magnum mysterium lamc'), with some synchronization gaps. There are some synchronization artifacts in the video which drive it out of sync with the unmodified LAMC version (about 1:25), and some artifacts of synchronization -- for example, the full-white "camera flash" at 0:45. Ugh.

@dadrummond: Nice try Sherlock, but no cigar. What you're describing is way beyond me.

Outstanding in all aspects, Control, dynamic contrast and tempo. Super direction my I congratulate you on your perfect attention to detail - no voices coming in to early or standing out just one beautiful unit. I only wish I was there to listen to your humbling performance.

Latin text O magnum mysterium, et admirabile sacramentum, ut animalia viderent Dominum natum, jacentem in praesepio! Beata Virgo, cujus viscera meruerunt portare Dominum Christum. Alleluia. English translation O great mystery, and wonderful sacrament, that animals should see the new-born Lord, lying in a manger! Blessed is the Virgin whose womb was worthy to bear Christ the Lord. Alleluia!

@dadrummond:Try to listen from 0:58 to 1:40 and tell me if that sounds like there are more than 100 people. Maybe the echo effect inside the theater may have contributed to the illusion that there seems to be twice o thrice as many singers. And if you must know(in case you don't) , members of this choir are alumni of University of Santo Tomas, Philippines (twice winner of the Choir of the World, Llangollen) and winner of other World Choir Title as well . in short , this choir is really good.

[DSpaulding1950]

the richness of the voices gives the impression that there are at least twice as many singers; very well done

One of my favourite pieces.

Thanks for a great performance. Great control. Would love to hear a studio recording of this group do it.

Great performance, although i wish the *camera click* *flash* *camera click* wasn't going on the whole video

[nailedwit]

I wish the sound were better. But that's a quibble. This is beautiful.

At first, my jaw dropped. Now it's dislocated.
