@@JRobbySh If there's nothing but joy then there's no 'experience' of joy, no matter how joyful they actually are: joy can only exist if, and when, also its opposite exists.
I listen to this recording daily and get chills every time. It is by far my favorite recording of Byrd's Ave Verum Corpus. Thank you for the inspiration.
So pleased to hear you again, singing another version of the "Ave Verum Corpus" celestian catholic song. GOD BLESS YOU, guys!! You are so talented!! BONJOUR from France!!
This is one of my favorite songs it always makes me cry with joy. You sang beautifully and it was only a rehearsal. Am a buddhist but was raised in a Catholic Convent til I was 9. Happy memories.
Wow. You guys were *phenomenal.*. I've rarely seen famous professionals pull that beautiful piece off with the class and feeling that it deserves, and you guys made it seem effortless. Bravo!!
Gentlemen: Extraordinary. I have heard, and sung, this piece countless times over the years, but few performances approach this kind of passion, workmanship, and tenderness. Thank you.
This is now my favorite version of the Bryd , Ave Verum... Just beautifully sung and true! Thank You. For some friends just having some fun, you guys are really talented. but that's what happens when you make music from the heart. Even though this was done awhile back, hope you guys will get back together and do more!
Yup - I think it went pretty well too . I'm addicted to this interpretation. Beautiful sound blending those excellent voices. Especially love the counter tenor rising above the rich lower tones. Great work lads!
Just plain fantastic!!! The blend, the balance, the tone quality--it was just magical! And I loooooooved the ornamentation at 3:05! This is one of my favorite pieces and y'all really did it justice!
Wow, that is awesome! Thanks so much. We are singing this in our choir at the moment and listening to you guys makes me realise we have got a way to go yet!
This is my favorite piece of music ever, and it is well done here. This makes me miss performing more than anything I've heard in the past three years. Thank you.
I'll be honest, I was not expecting this to be this good. And yet - balance is phenomenal, good interpretation, wonderful silky sound. Alto usually gets lost at this pitch - not here! Great stuff.
Oh well done, guys. Beautiful, controlled and blended sound, gorgeous lines. You sound like a consort of viols! I too must single out Nick Zammit, countertenor - loved the twiddles starting at 3:07. Oh, and alto and tenor at 3:15, with the sweet inflé on "mi-" of "miserere. Yum. Want recording.
Wonderful all you guys!! Really really just beutiful Im from Monterrey México and I want to say you all Congratulations and please please keep going Im studiyng Music in the Music University here in Monterrey and this Motete performed by you all helped me a looooot , I hooe you still practice or keep together singing congratulations again!
This is for real!!! no way, beautiful version, the counter tenor is amazing, are you a group? you have to, celestial sound!!! Bravo all of you guys. :)
Music and cloth are perfect, this is very charming offset that is natural and repecting byrds standarts. Singers during renaissance werre dress with everyday dressing. To sum up, Cool And Natural
I can’t stop listening to this. I love the comment at the end but I’m only in partial agreement with it - it didn’t go pretty well, it went beautifully well. Thank you for this. ❤
Oh Mom 2.0 ❤️❤️❤️ The funny thing about all these videos is we had never even sang together as a group, I had literally just met these guys a few days earlier. We only recorded these for fun, and it was just kismet they came out so good. We have all joked that some day we will come together and make new videos and who knows, we just may. Love you ❤️
Absolutely beautiful sound , Try The Gesualdo Six at Ely Cathedral version of Ave Verum. Oh by the way ,love the trill 3.07 ......never heard that done on this piece of music
Well done! Never heard it in F# before. Many people don't realise that 4-voice motets like this are really men's voice music in spite of usually being sung SATB. You have also proved that presentation doesn't matter two hoots, so long as the singing is good (Americans, take note). More please - including the baggy shorts and trousers, the music stands and the self-direction!
And just which of the singers do you think is "the tenor"? The one singing the superius (the highest part), the medius (the next highest part), the tenor (next lowest part) or bassus (lowest part)?
From left to right: the first sounds to be the tenor. Second is counter-tenor. Third I have no idea... Maybe the baritone or another tenor? The last one is base.
Wow =) I've never heard this one in quartet style before and it sounds wonderful the intonation throughout was brilliant the Alto line blended very well and the man singing Soprano, your tone was beautiful, although perhaps a tad loud at some points =P Seriously though, well done. The Renaissance was probably my favourite period for choral music
Hey guys..Nick Zammit, et al many thanks for a hoot of a performance. Very good to see young chaps singing so well together for (was it) the first time? Great job!
If this heavenly music is 'just having some fun', imagine how much fun there wil be in heaven... ;-)
Nothing but joy in heaven.

This is one of my favorite pieces of sacred music...and now probably my favorite version of it...
The countertenor has such a lovely voice.
Jay Preis Thank you so much.
I am happy to be corrected.
Helen Schroeder The superius is a counter-tenor/alto, singing one octave above the 'actual' tenor (in grey).
Stunning. This is what happens when Guys do it the way they want to, and not what is written. Brilliant, absolutely hypnotic.
Unbelievably beautiful. Angels must have wept somewhere.
Somehow it’s a wonderful thing that four dumpy looking guys can make such very beautiful music. That countertenor!
Yup - I think it went pretty well too
.
I'm addicted to this interpretation. Beautiful sound blending those excellent voices. Especially love the counter tenor rising above the rich lower tones.
Great work lads!
I have always loved this piece, and you, gents, have made great music with it... thank you.
Thank goodness, only the video was out of focus !!! :) You men = wow ! Just beautifully sung !!! Thanks to ALL...
God Bless !! Fran Danco
This is absolutely one of my favorite choral pieces, and you guys nailed it. Beautiful
Just plain fantastic!!! The blend, the balance, the tone quality--it was just magical! And I loooooooved the ornamentation at 3:05! This is one of my favorite pieces and y'all really did it justice!
Holy cow. You four are UNBELIEVABLE. Amazing.
Wow, that is awesome! Thanks so much. We are singing this in our choir at the moment and listening to you guys makes me realise we have got a way to go yet!
Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for 'just having fun with some friends.
If this is "just having some fun", it's scary to think how powerful this would be if you were serious. Excellent performance! Bravo!
you guys are AMAZING !!! Seriously, the soprano voice is so incredible.. Can't believe there's only 4 of you and all MEN !!!
This is my favorite piece of music ever, and it is well done here. This makes me miss performing more than anything I've heard in the past three years. Thank you.
Four of the wickedest voices. LOVE IT!!!!!!
This is definitely pretty well!!! great singing: the blend, the colors, everything so enjoyable. Well done!
I'll be honest, I was not expecting this to be this good. And yet - balance is phenomenal, good interpretation, wonderful silky sound. Alto usually gets lost at this pitch - not here! Great stuff.
Thank you! We didn't expect it to be good either lol. This is literally the first time we sang together, I had just met them a couple days earlier!
Boss!!!
Agree
+Nick Zammit I also heard you singing the Mozart's version!
Enjoyed it a lot!!!!
Dieu vous bénisse! MERCI.
@@Musiker110 Upload more of this: it truly adds more beauty to TH-cam's treasure trove ;-)
Qué bello sonido!!!!!!!!!
Muy bien entendida y lograda la música.
Maravilloso.

Very nice. I will be performing this piece in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the rehearsal help.
that was phenomenal! Beautiful sound, heavenly!!
WOW AMAZING!! U GUYS ARE EXTREMELY TALENTED..THEIR SOUND IS JUST SO PURE, BUT ESPECIALLY THEY GUY SINGING SOPRANO..BEAUTIFULLY DONE!!
Wonderful all you guys!!

Congrats - You guys were great ! Soprano was wonderful - amazing voice! Loved it
wow... just WOW...!!! What an amazing voices you have!
This is for real!!! no way, beautiful version, the counter tenor is amazing, are you a group? you have to, celestial sound!!! Bravo all of you guys. :)
Love ur voice guys! I love this song since i first sang in my choir.
Great sound and the counter tenor has a magnificent pitch, oh that rip at 3.06 just did it for me , well done guys !
Absolutely love his "additions" at 3:05 to 3:13!
This is MESSING AROUND?? -dies- This is GODLY ...this is moving and ...beautiful and ....my whole entire choir was just put to SHAME by you XD
the ending with that great crescendo and decrescendo is sublime!
Probably one of the best counter tenors ever and one of the only ones that sounds beautiful
These guys are freaking amazing!!! Specially the countertenor. Bravo!!!
I love this piece.... and I love your performance.... I wish I could sing like this with my friends... I'd like to meet you guys... really
Wow! What a beautiful sound!
Just magnificent. Good job guys and thank you for this moment.
The gentleman singing the soprano part has a breathtaking voice.
Crap, Steven, every time I listen to this, I get stoked for my wedding!! You guys should start a website for singing at weddings. Y'all rock!!!
Byrd is something wonderful, and your singing too :)
Excellently done. Your countertenor is very gifted.
"I think that went pretty well" haha, it certainly did!
Beautifully sung and with a male soprano!
:) Thank you so much, the one standing next to me is pretty spectacular too, he actually sings in Chanticleer!
Fabulous -- especially the Alto part.
Great!! beautiful voices with a nice phrasing.
Music and cloth are perfect, this is very charming offset that is natural and repecting byrds standarts. Singers during renaissance werre dress with everyday dressing. To sum up, Cool And Natural
William Byrd himself would have found that version exquisite! Amazing, and thank you.
Beautiful music, beautiful performance! Thank you.
どこでも見かける普段着のオジサンがコーラス始めたら‼️素晴らしい曲もいいですね〜〜❣️
On arrive à interpréter des œuvres incroyables à 4 ! Bravo
i love byrd... you nailed it!! awesome!!
Beautiful!!! Thank you for this.
This is the best likeness to how this would sound in the 16th Century that I've found. Exceptional reproduction.
I can’t stop listening to this. I love the comment at the end but I’m only in partial agreement with it - it didn’t go pretty well, it went beautifully well. Thank you for this. ❤

Holy shit, nailed it! Did not expect that...
WOW, NO WAY!!! This is totally awesome... This is such a favorite song of mine... It will be my funeral song :)
Lovely rendition of the piece. Reminds me a lot of the another version by the schola cancantorum at Edington Music Festival.

Extremely well performed! :-)
My God this is good. You should be making CDs.
Sounds really, really good! Bravo!
Talented indeed. This is rather excellent.

read above :)
As a vocalist with a lack of male singers in my life with skill such as all of you. I am quite jealous. Wonderful job, men. =]
Wow =)
I've never heard this one in quartet style before
and it sounds wonderful
the intonation throughout was brilliant
the Alto line blended very well
and the man singing Soprano, your tone was beautiful, although perhaps a tad loud at some points =P
Seriously though, well done. The Renaissance was probably my favourite period for choral music
Dayam! You guys sound incredible!
NICE! Ben you are so friggin' talented.
this is beautiful! i love it
W O N D E R F U L L!!! Where are these amazing guys from?
Hey guys..Nick Zammit, et al many thanks for a hoot of a performance. Very good to see young chaps singing so well together for (was it) the first time? Great job!
If i wasn't seeing it i wouldn't believe that was only 4 guys. that's amazing!
Wow, how often do young guys get together and sing 15th century church music for fun?
