O Magnum Mysterium (Victoria) - Sexteto Cantabile

Oh, Great Mystery,
and remarkable Sacrament,
that animals witness the Lord born,
laid in a manger.
Oh blessed Virgin,
whose womb was deemed worthy
to carry our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hallelujah.

Another perfect performance by the Argentinian group "Sexteto Cantabile" (web site: http://www.sextetocantabile.com.ar)

The atmosphere achieved by the amazing blend of these guys voices just brings you the necessary state of mind to wonder: "how come the Lord in all His greatness was born in a manger?!"

Victoria's composition leaves me speechless once more, specially through this interpretation.

This is my second video, I couldn't help sharing with the world this astounding sound. I found the track surfing the Net. The score was taken from the Choral Public Domain, and the Sexteto Cantabile's pictures and data was borrowed from the site informed before.

Enjoy! Peace to everybody and praised be God, Jesus and the Holy Ghost.

@MrDarknesslover lo idiomas oficiales en Suramérica son en la gran mayoría el español y el portugués, también existen innumerables lenguas indígenas, que aunque se etán extinguiendo. todavía son habladas, pero el latín como tal, no es una lengua ni oficial, ni parcial, ni nada. Si leés bien mis textos me refiero al lenguaje como algo cominicativo.... ¿entendés ese tipo de conceptos? o es que en realidad no has aprendido nada en la UCV??????

[MrDarknesslover]

@nicosupersex y que cosas has dicho con nadie absolutamente nadie en suramerica habla latin eso tiene un significado muy fuerte.. usted no conoce a todas las personas en america del sur para decir eso .. que usted no lo hable no implica que los otros no puedan hacerlo!

hi :) if you could help me out here, is the way the piece was meant to be performed? with the irregular, slightly out-of-sync tempo?
