Where can I find the lyrics?

@soutrigodedeus : Search Wiki, it's a general hymn to Mary text:)

Why do atheists on all these videos feel the need to proclaim they have no religious beliefs? Can you not simply say: it's good?

great singing - great video.

that is a choir.. that is really a choir.. so solemn..

Words fail. Superb rendition of a fine romantic miniature. How much better does this choir sound in its native acoustic than in a concert hall? I've heard reviewers liken the St John's altos in concert to bleating sheep. Even the somewhat immature bass timbre common with English college choirs is transformed back in the chapel to something quite other. Bravi gentlemen! If you are one of these young chorister now grown up, be proud - be very proud.

St. John's College choir. Simply the best out there.

@TheoO18 I sing for a few reasons: 1. I lift weights, and vocalizing after weightlifting is an excellent way to replenish oxygen stores. 2. A Cappella singing in a competent group is a sensual experience - a high - like no other. 3. Being a singer gets me dates.

My husband used to sing in the St. John's Choir. They sung for her majesty as well. I love to hear them.

Grandiosa interpretazione. Voci perfettamente armonizzate.

I'm a Christian, but I still like this video.

(You see, as a Christian, I have to say that this doesn't even come close to how good God is, but it's still a pretty darn good try).

Religious or Atheist, it doesn't matter. If you can't see the beauty in this then you have far more important issues than religious identity that you should be focusing on instead of sitting here degrading religion. I'm not Catholic, or even Christian, but I often go to the Basilica in my city because I appreciate the artistic beauty in thier traditions, even if I don't believe in them myself.

Gorgeous! Another great Ave Maris Stella is by the Swedish composer

Fredrik Sixten - it´s awesome, I strongly suggest you take a look at his website.

You won´t be disappointed!
