  • I went to see the Westminster Choir live 3 days ago. It was like listening to a choir of angels for 2 hours. Sheer, glorious, effervescent beauty. It has touched me like no other music.

  • @scorpioviolinist1 Ah yes, During their last tour in USA. Thank you appreciat

  • This makes me really want to cry. It incites such a pious feeling, and a heart ache. Perhaps that's why it's talking about David's psalm of the deer panting for the water.

  • @rcarrillo7 Exactly. Et en plus Palestrina a saisi l'essence de ce Psaume en le composant pour la Liturgie. J'ai lu que vous comtrniez un peu le français lol

  • @rcarrillo7 'que vous compreniez...'

  • the master at work, Palestrina, I believe he will be Heaven's Soundtrack, no doubt!

    The Father of melody, Polyphony, and all things harmonious on this rocky planet.

    His music alone is a proof there is a God for me. Among the greats in music, Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Telemann, Palestrina, Byrd, Tallis, Mahler, Shostakovich, Copland, Gershwin, Ellington, and of course Monk! How about that progression of musical greatness.

  • @streiff100 Absolutly all right.

  • beautiful

  • This music is beautiful and all, but Eminem's music is more beautiful and touching than the most talented choir. This is my opinion, of course.

  • @t3tsuyaguy1 Too bad my friend... Unfortunately, 3 people cannot recognize true beauty...

  • Praise the Lord for Youtube!! Since the closing of the all classical music store in my area Youtube is the ONLY place I can come to hear wonderous music such as this. Ever gone into an FYE and try to explain to the Goth Techno wannabe clerk who Palestrina is.......not a pretty picture or experience.

  • @ BlackwindSamurai - and where, do you think, does human ability come from ?

  • @BlackwindSamurai

    Know thyself, Oh divine lineage in mortal guise.

  • @Eurofrank1 Proper pride can be a virtue...that's what Aristotle says in his Ethics, at least. ;-)

  • @treblechoir99 que vous comprenez

  • @Crossfire92x

    Thanks. 

  • @Boredpersons55 A Major.
