Missa Brevis - 4 - Sanctus et Benedictus


Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus

Hosanna in excelsis.

  • who disliked this? seriously?

  • @christianvs1 4 voices yes. Soprano, Alto ,Tenor, Bass. except that was only the norm not the usual. Counterpoint exists because of this and is not exclusive to chant modal. Never was.

  • hands down, the best choir on this piece of matter we call terra!

  • Ethereal

  • From the recent comments, it seems that u chaps forgot that THE music of the Roman Church is Gregorian Chant. The long modal lines, long arching melismas, were all intended to be sung as if four people were singing Gregorian Chant; now in modal counterpoint! Our sensory perception, unless one has been correctly singing Gregorian Chant everyday for decades, is that of a scalic world; a world of Bach, Mozart and Haydn.This recording evinces much knowledge of Gregorian Chant praxis. Gorgeous!

  • mit meinem vocalensemble "de morales" singe ich gerade diese messe. so ein großartiges werk...

  • Unfortunately though the Sistine Chapel Choir is no longer the respected force it once was. The International Church Music Review recently criticised the choir as the singers wanted to overshout each other, they were frequently out of tune, the sound uneven, the conducting without any artistic power, the organ and organ playing like in a second-rank country parish church.! Very sad when you consider its great roots.

  • FYI... The Tallis Scholars is NOT a Boys Choir like the traditional Sistine Choir that Palestrina wrote this music for...

  • I actually think it needed to be MORE subdued. More evenness of volume and tone needed to fill the space. Duos are where this is most important. The less voices, the more evenness needed but trios are not far behind. Interpretation: Pleading to be the blessed man turning into confidence that one is, through repetition. i sensed no such sensitivity in this recording.
