This is the ACDA California Coastal Region Honor Choir 2008 Performance at St. Ignatius Church in San Francisco.

The song is called Witches' Chorus. It was composed by Giuseppe Verdi for the opera Macbeth.

English Translation:
What did you say? Say now! I've slaughtered a boar, and thou? To me fluttered in thought - the wife of a sailor, she cast me out to the devil, but the spouse who sailed with his ship, I'll drown. I'll give thee the north wind, The billows I will raise. I'll drive him out onto the shoals - A drum! what will it be? Hail now Machbeth! The sisters of vagabond go though the air. Go on the waves. They know a circle how to weave, that includes both land and sea.

  • @ABookwormAndProud The lyrics paraphrase the beginning of Act 1, Scene 3 in Shakespeare's play. You can find a literal translation of the lyrics in the video's description above.

  • aaahhhh I REMEMBER THIS!!!!!!!!!

    I love the CHE SERA!!!!!

    this choir was amazing. :D

  • Creepy, and enchanting--just like the Macbeth witches would sing! Now, I don't speak Italian, but is this a direct translation of Shakespeare's witch chants? Because that would just make it that much more awesome :D

  • @TheSueta pochemu? no too bad...
