Of all churches and religions. Remember that Roman Catholics didn't actually exist when this was written. There is no monopoly of one religion in how to sing to their version of God.
@@anunachoir didn't exist? your wrong you post this video and doesn't even know the history of Gregorian latin chants used and develop by the Christians of Roman Catholic church more than 1000 years ago.
No. They were Catholics, not Roman Catholics. Protestants, such as Anglicans, call themselves Catholics even to this day. Roman Catholicism is a name to distinguish them after the division of the church. And while this is "Gregorian" as an outline, the rhythm is contemporary as is the arrangement which is from 1992.

Except for all the RCs I know who call themselves Catholics. Can you do some research (any research) before posting on this thread again? I appreciate that you may feel that believing something to be true is the same as it being true for many people today, but be that way on someone else's video comments.
"Media vita in morte sumus ; quem quaerimus adjutorem, nisi te Domine, qui pro peccatis nostris juste irasceris? Sancte Deus, sancte fortis, sancte et misericors Salvator, amarae morti ne tradas nos." "In the midst of life we are in death: of whom may we seek for succour, but of thee, O Lord, who for our sins art justly displeased? Yet, O Lord God most holy, O Lord most mighty, O holy and most merciful Savior, deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death."
God...I would give anything to be a part of this world of music. Choral music is, in my opinion, the best expression of music on the earth, and there is NO piece performed by Anuna that I do not consider exceptional. Their music is genius, timeless, and inspiring. You are a musical mastermind, Mr. McGlynn. Thank you so very much for the amazing works of art that you contribute to a world that is in definite need of them.
Priestly attire? Only men can become priests, and what you mean are cassocks and surplices. Also the knights templar were mainly monks, so they had faculties. There they themselves are priests.
I remember how stunned i was when heared this music live:) It was an opener of wonderful concert that Anuna gave during "Celt festival" in Poznan few years ago.Really great experience.
They are a specialist group that performs very powerful music, Even though I'm an old rock lover I can listen to this all day. Music is judged by some of us by its power, A Gary Moore solo , Scorpions performing with a full orchestra, Frank Marino and Mahogany rush , its all about the projected power ,
I love their music. I would love to see them live. They also have my respect by keeping even and in step down the entire aisle. I'm in the marching band and that is tough to do. Amazing group.
My high school Chamber choir is working on this song right now and I love it!!! I have to say that it really isn't that hard though...we got it pretty easily... I love the way Anuna does it though!!Breath taking!!
Anuna's performance of this chant is amazing. When I listen to it, I feel the tension being released from my body. Doesn't matter that the subject is death... Gorgeous!
The Mens choir I'm part of doing this song as the song we use when we walk into the Church and after reading the music and watching this video I have become addicted to Anuna! Thank You for such good music.
A Penitência Média Vita é um conceito que surgiu no contexto da Igreja Católica Apostólica Romana durante a Idade Média, particularmente no período medieval. Esse conceito estava ligado à prática de penitência como uma forma de expiar os pecados, com a Igreja orientando os fiéis a realizar certos atos de arrependimento e expiação durante suas vidas. Na tradição católica, a penitência era vista como uma maneira de reconciliar-se com Deus, com os fiéis sendo instruídos a realizar ações como orações, jejuns e outras formas de sacrifício. A Penitência Média Vita pode se referir a práticas penitenciais medianas, ou seja, que não eram tão severas quanto as penitências maiores, mas ainda assim envolviam atos de autocontrole, oração e abstinência. Essa prática reflete o enfoque da Igreja Católica Apostólica Romana na busca pela purificação espiritual e pela reparação dos pecados durante a vida.
Amazing. I just stumbled over Anuna, coming from the stuff of neo-pagan formation Omnia, and I didn't really expect something that brilliant. I guess, I'm in love. Thanks for providing.
Actually, the sound and technique of the choir is that of a amazingly Classical-trained one (specialised in ancient music, of course, it doesn't sound the same as a normal Classical Choir). And Micheal McGlynn's vocal skills are very impressive too, even for Classical music standards, and he's got an amazing voice.
I really do love this piece. My high school Concert Choir did this processional (very well, I might add) for a concert once. I almost got the solo part.
"In the fullness of the life we are dead. To whom do we look for as our help but to You, Lord? Who because of our sins is angry." Correct me if I am wrong, but after looking up the translation, it sounds more like the song is about the promise of life after death, not just death itself.
Michael sounds very different here, in a good way. His voice so much deeper and more powerful (usually its more gentle). Absolutely beautiful. And he looks quite lovely here!
It was not my intent to show any disrespect. As a composer and classical singer myself, I certainly know how time consuming recording projects can be. I suppose I simply enjoy the music so much that I can't help but hope to discover more all the time.. :-) Best wishes, and keep your sense of integrity that shines so clearly in every project you do.
Call me crazy, but I feel like the melody and the harmony of this piece sounds like it could be used for a hymn giving praise to a sun god of some kind.
@jan1365 @jan1365 Absolutely agree with brezaiirola on this. This is a medieval chant and, actually medieval sacred music is widely considered Classical music, even if it is not as known as the later movements of Classical music.
I close my eyes and it makes me feel like I'm inside a 12th Century cathedral surrounded by peasants, lords, and knights in armor. The monks singing, and the smell of incense and candles permeating everywhere. Pure Medieval feeling!
I doubt they'd be wearing their armour to church.

Just goes to show you: put anything in Latin and, no matter how depressing, it will sound beautiful

Being saved from death isn’t bitter or depressing.

So Loved
Whoa. That's all I can say.
My school's select choir is doing this song, and it's going to sound just amazing!
How did it go
I hope the men wore Templar Armor and the women wore priestess attire.
Priestly attire? Only men can become priests, and what you mean are cassocks and surplices. Also the knights templar were mainly monks, so they had faculties. There they themselves are priests.
*cassocks surpluces and vestments.

Stating the obvious: Michael McGlynn is a divine soloist.
So is John. Brothers of talent. *swoon*
a beautiful, convicting Latin text set to an equally beautiful and haunting melody. It gives chills to anyone who listens...
I always feel transported to the Medieval Ages whenever I listen to this song.
Chilling, inspiring and moving. An incredible rendition!
I've heard a few tracks by these guys on TH-cam, but this one is, I think, by far the best.
Je l'écoute souvent avec un très bon casque et je m'imagine au XII ème siècle c'est excellent 👌
Очаровательно, превосходно, великолепно.
Uma Beleza que perfura o coração e inunda a alma com a santidade!! Gregoriano é belíssimo.
me encantaría oírles en directo.
Tiene que ser espectacular.
This performance makes me smile and always gives me chills. Thanks for sharing!
Magnifico! Potente! Ieratico! Soprannaturale! Evocativo! Ti porta al cospetto divino. Non so dire altro....Benedetti siate. 🙏🙏🙏➕️➕️➕️

I did this for choir last year and i can say this song is brilliant in every way possible
My high school Chamber choir is working on this song right now and I love it!!!

I dont know what is talking about but i am quietly sure its amazing
he talking about the lord God Jesus
No. He is talking about death. Jesus is only a small part of the lyrics. Its a banger
Stunning
Hope they come to Brazil some day! Love Anúna!
Michael, your voice--and this music-- truly something special.
Wonderful rendering
Absolutly the beautifulest song I've heard yet in my LIFE!!!!!
Vivat Christus Rex 👑
Laus Iesu Christo Domino et Salvatori nostro
Et Mater Ejus Sanctissima
Brividi dall'inizio alla fine. Un sollievo per l'anima. Super!
Grazie mille!
Absolutely beautiful song.
Dios les bendiga!
Wow that was incredible!
By a minute and a half into this, starts feeling frenziedly bewitching.

Love Anuna even down to the costumes.........
Incredible, literal shivers!
One of my favorite songs. As a compulsive listener, almost signed in for a summer school. :)
Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur : Quoi que l'on dise en latin, cela résonne profondément 🙂
I love those voices..

Careful that death could come in the middle of our life. So rough
Not a chirpy little pop song, to be sure.
Call me crazy, but I feel like the melody and the harmony of this piece sounds like it could be used for a hymn giving praise to a sun god of some kind.
Instead it gives praise to the one true God Jesus Christ ☦️🙏
He looks so young!
Hey I didn't expect that guy who starts the solo at 1:03 to sound like that!
He looks like a deep voice guy but he sounds young and sweet.
Bring back the Latin :o
