TEXT
Draw on, Sweet Night, best friend unto those cares
That do arise from painful melancholy.
My life so ill through want of comfort fares,
that unto thee I consecrate it wholly.
Sweet Night, draw on! My griefs when they be told
To shades and darkness find some ease from paining,
And while thou all in silence dost enfold,
I then shall have best time for my complaining. - บันเทิง
The way your voices blend is out of this world.
Exquisite. From a golden age of English music.
The golden age indeed! Having been introduced to the madrigal over 50 years ago at university in the second year history of music course, it continues to be a source of great enjoyment. Well done Voces8!
The best choral vocal group in the world. Thank you, VOCES8!
I suggest "Ubi caritas et amor" from Maurice Durufle
It's like christmas in july. Overwhelming.
There really aren't appropriate adjectives in the English language to describe this kind of singing. The perfect pitch, the blending, the diction, the vocal control - does it get better than this? I don't think so. Thank you, Voces 8!!
The perfection of Voces8 - no single voice ever dominates - precisely clipped consonants - no vibrato - each singer hearing the other seven - no need for a conductor - but intensely rehearsed, and performed.
Oh my, this swept me back 75 years to my university choral society days, and the ineffable joy of singing music like this. Thank you.
This is one of the few TH-cam channels that I get Notifications of new content. It's always worth it, as in this case. Beautiful interplay of harmonies from some very talented musicians.
Vous êtes parfaits ainsi...Merci à vous tous.....🌹🌹🍀🍀❤❤🕊🕊
Thank You Voces8 For This Beautiful Gift Of Music 🎶
Forgive these poor metaphors, but this wonderful performance is a balm, a salve.
VOCES8, you have bereft me of all words.
Only my blood speaks to you in my veins,
And there is such confusion in my powers
As after some oration fairly spoke
By a belovèd prince there doth appear
Among the buzzing pleasèd multitude,
Where every something being blent together
Turns to a wild of nothing, save of joy
Expressed and not expressed…
(Very slightly adapted from Bassanio’s speech to Portia
in The Merchant of Venice -
portrays precisely my joy at the
sheer beauty of this performance)
I applaud your educational ventures, your resident composer program, etc. But wow, it's best of all when you get back to the staples of a capella that we all love so much! Thanks so much for this release.
Wonderful from all, but special mention of Molly's vocal part - beautiful purity!
Perfection, sensitively sung with beautiful purity from Molly singing the upper soprano part.
Hauntingly and enchanting beautiful...... completely captivating..... ❤❤❤
Sublime! Thank you for your beautiful healing, yet wrenching, Sound! You break my heart and heal it in the same instant.
Wunderschöne Musik. Wie kann man denn so schön singen? Ich bin ganz begeistert.Danke.
The smoothness of all of your voices, makes me see slowly dripping honey, with no interruptions.
I am very grateful to each of you.
May all of you have a healthy, happy week.
❤
I feel as if I am in the presence of the angels when I hear your soaring voices.
Maravilloso!!. Saludos desde Argentina.
This was the first piece I sang at music college- I’ve never forgotten it, but in your hands it sounds so wonderful!
Whouah !
Quelle performance, chaque voix est perceptible, mariage du particulier et du général.
Bravo !
Absolutely Gorgeous! Thank You!!
Ah, another offering from my favorite vocal group. I appreciate your artistry so much and am so grateful for your sharing. Peace
The shot at 1:08 just shows the level of this ensemble... how Blake is listening! I loved that!
G.D. magical.... is what this is.....magical
Beautifully sung - one of the madrigals that I have always loved to sing!
Shivers and goosebumps up and down my spine!
Touching and reaching right to the tiniest little fibers of body and soul ❤!
Wow. This is beautiful ❤️
Thank you for creating and sharing such beauty.
stunning performance . thank you all.
Mesmerising and charming. Faultless.
So beautiful!❤
Angels, come to earth.
These sound caress my ears ❤
Completely perfect. Stunning blend and timing
Brilliantly done, as usual! You guys should consider looking into the repertoire of the British composer John Farmer (1570-1601)...he wrote some amazing madrigals.
What a great group of young people bringing joy to countless people through music.
I heard this first last year when you filmed it from Milton Abbey-so beautiful, thanks Voces8 for posting it to enjoy forever!
Me and 7 of my cohorts sang this north of Baltimore ( USA) on a cold rainy last night. IMHO there is no better English madrigal
C'est toujours un immense bonheur de vous écouter. Merci pour la très grande classe de vos prestations
The ever-sublime Voces8. Thank you all! 💙🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼💙🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼💙🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼💙🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼💥
Magic. ❤ Not only the performance, but the recording quality is unmatched.
One of my favourite madrigals, a masterful rendition.
I live to witness those alto moments ✨
This is the first time I've heard this madrigal being performed. Wonderful.
Wonderful performance🍃thank you Woices8

Excellent as always, thanks for posting this little gem.
A perfect balance between austerity, required by the sung text, and musical sensitivity.
This Video was produced and filmed at Nikolaikirche in Plön (Schleswig - Holstein)
Meninas, sou réu confesso: "estava com saudade de vocês"... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you 🙏
Ja das ist ja so schön gesungen. Ich bin dankbar für diese schöne Musik.!😊
Stratosferico! Siete sempre più bravi: sapete trasformare in pura bellezza ogni vostra esibizione. Bravi!
How wonderful
Beautiful as always … having sung this 40 years ago with San Francisco Choral Artists, you have raised my sights with this exquisite performance.
Maravilloso, como siempre!!! Gracias!!! Desde Argentina!
A word also, please, for John Wilbye's sweet counterpoint and moving words. There were giants in those days.
Este som comove os reconditos da alma...
Peaceful!
An old favourite from my time at university, although we never came close to singing it quite as beautifully as this! Love you guys!
Abject, glorious, wonderful beauty! Thank you Voces8! You have to be the best in the world at this genre of musical excellence!!
So good.....their singing could be a spiritual path unto itself
Magnifique ❤
As I've said in other comments, you create some of the most sublime vocal chamber music I have ever heard. Having said that, may I make a comment? Your videos in which you sing for memory are superior. It was so wonderful and unusual to listen to singers who don't have that barrier between each other and the audience. When music is memorized the musician knows it more completely than when not.
War der Auftritt Teil des SH Musikfestivals?
