When will YouTubers learn that the most important thing when posting a video of music is to list the composer's name? :-P Who wrote this? It's fantastic, far better than the uninspired Grieg setting my choir's working on right now.

*searches through four years worth of dusty scores*

If I'm not wrong, the composer's Vajda Janos.

where are you standing! :D :P hahahaha

I'm in the 4th row, 2nd girl from the guys side. :D

Hmm... 9th century too modern for you? lol

Was composed by the hungarian composer Vajda János. It"s really difficult to sing clearly, congrats.

@hayleybell2008 This is surely not Dufay's setting, though. This sounds like it was written in the late twentieth century. Who composed the piece being sung by the choir in the video? Thanks :-)

[hayleybell2008]

@TheRealmsOfGold This piece was originally done by Guillaume Dufay. He was a composer in the mid to late 1400's and used a form of Gregorian chant with organum to compose the original. It has been used multiple times in different variations through out history.

Hey! I think I can see myself standing next to ruben

[castroaz]

the composer of "Ave maris stella" is Guillaume Dufay. He was born in the north of France near modern Belgium, a region that supplied the whole of Eruope with musicians for many generations. He worked in Italy for over 25 years. it is a homophonic setting of a Gregorian hymn, on of the most tuneful of plainchant genres.

I love this song! It's was quite difficult to get the timing right with the choir I was in, we worked our socks off with it but well worth it... Just one of those songs you remember :) x

[Cr0ssDressiNate]

we're singing this song in my high school choir, I love it!
