  • Jeez. This music is simply beautiful and yet some opiniated fastidious perfectionists have to chime in with all the ways they know how better it should be. Take a fucking yoga class and relax.

  • HA HA HA HA!!!!! Thanks mate I needed that!

  • Thank you so much for posting this! Just an FYI; this isn't considered chant, but polyphony. It was composed by (or at least attributed to) Thomas Tallis.

  • Really? Huh... didn't know that! Thanks

  • @DrunkCanadian3

    Actually, this piece was composed by Tomas Luis de la Victoria. You might be thinking of Spem in Alium, which sounds kinda similar to this and actually was composed by Thomas Tallis. Just to let you know. :-)

  • @bandchickusus Ah, I was, thanks!!

  • @edvntrsone I agree with your sentiments but as I often use this site to let my 8-year old chorister son hear how these pieces can be beautifully performed it would be much more pleasant if everyone involved in such discussions could refrain from vulgar language, it weakens your arguments and is so uneccessary.

  • @ceiligirl0317 I almost went on a long tirade of a comment explaining how chants aren't restricted to time period, until I realized that this song isn't homophonic, so you're correct. I can't believe I just told someone on the internet they were right.

  • @ceiligirl0317 umm not Tallis. Vittoria

  • @TomaMakoto im jealous

  • Matt Oltman(the tenor in glasses on the left) is our choir director in UC Berkeley this year! He is amazing!!!!

    I think I can hear him... If I really concentrate...

  • I almost feel like saying that it doesn't matter who wrote this piece and what the proper classification is - sublime music IS sublime, ditto. Thank you for posting this.

  • Just saw them in concert last night. Since it was a Christmas concert, they performed this, of course. It was leaps and bounds beyond this recording -- so incredibly tight it squeaked. I don't think that I breathed for five minutes.

  • @CrypticC62 ...and a soul.

  • ehhh not that impressed with this all too much them being chanticleer of course, I think it might be the lack of acoustic quality. Sixteen is by far the best I've heard at this

  • Going to see them tonight! So excited! :D
