From the (UK) publisher of O Magnum Misterium that was INCREDIBLE!! Such a beautiful and accomplished performance, the quantity of singers adding to the majesty of the piece. Heartfelt congratulations to Tori Longdon and every single one of the singers!
Thank you, Morten Lauridsen, for the profound gifts of your inspirational compositions, luminous life purpose, and joyful, focused work ethic. I'm so blessed to have Zoom rehearsed with you, to have been taught by your insights, to have sung so many of your wonderful creations, and to own so many CDs and scores of your adored music. Merry Christmas to you, with much gratitude & love!
Already very excited to hear the finished product!! Many thanks to Morten Lauridson - I feel privileged to have "met" you and "rehearsed" your work with you - even if it was only via Zoom! And many thanks to the Stay At Home Choir, especially Tori Longden and Jamie Wright, for making this opportunity possible!
Oh my... that brought such tears. What a beautiful year of music we have created together! Thank you to the entire SAHC team that continues to inspire and support us all. Wishing a safe, healthy, merry and joyous holiday season to you and all my fellow singers and loved ones. Here's to 2022! x
Immensely proud to have been a part of this, and it was definitely the most challenging! The end result is astounding, well done to all involved. Shame I didn't know/realise about submitting videos/pics to accompany my entry. Bravo! Bravo! Bravo!
Excellent harmonising of the Choir and the Photography. I have always lived in the World where seeing is believing. Hopefully 2022 will bring happiness to a new level.
This was a truly emotive, exquisite and beautiful project. It really sounds like we’re singing in a huge Cathedral and to me this is the best choral rendition I’ve ever heard. Thank you Tori and Jamie and all at SAHC and a huge thank you to Morten Lauridsen for this truly wonderful gift at Christmas. We will cherish this forever x
Moved to tears once again to think of all the love that has gone into producing this sublime sound from all our humble voices! Thank you so much Morten Lauridsen, Jamie, Tori and the whole team for the privilege of working 'live' with you, and may you all have a beautiful Christmas and New Year. xxx
There are few words that even come close to describing the feeling of having just sung one of the world's sublimest pieces of choral music ever composed, and then to hear this masterful recording -The resonance!!! -Be still ..My heart. What a gift it was gathering the insights from Morten Lauridsen himself, which so invigorated my personal artistic objectives. In gratitude for the expert direction and support of the passionate and incomparable SAHC team and my singing comrades, Thank You all for your commitment, prowess, and creative brilliance. ~Bravo! LM 💜 🙏
This is quite simply superb. To turn around our contributions and produce this stunning piece of work in such a tight timescale is a real achievement and credit to the whole team at SAHC. I am uplifted and moved in equal measure by what beautiful music and the human voice can create.
Thank you SAHC, thanks Tori, Jamie and the wonderful team as well. I was in tears. So emotional. Thank you Morten Lauridsen for introducing your wonderful music to us. I am so thankful that I have found this choir. What a wonderful idea, to mention all the artists from this year as well. Such a lovely idea. Merry Christmas and a healthy and optimistic start into 2022
How wonderful to have had the privilege of being a part of this heart rendering project, and what a result! Lauridsen’s most beautiful evocation of the wonderment of the Christmas story is superb and the alto line just cannot be matched…What a joy! And all this so expertly brought to life by Tori and Jamie. Thank you so much for this timely project.😘🎄
Wow so emotional what a stunning piece of music and how amazing we all sound together! I’m so proud to be apart of this projects and others befor and future to come. Thank you stay at home team , for pulling this together for Christmas ♥️
Thank you to Morten Lauridsen for composing such a beautiful piece of music and to Tori, Jamie and the entire SAHC for this incredible production! I am so proud to belong to this group of friends who sing together to lift each other's spirits! Congrats everyone!
All those amazing projects! Thank you SAHC ❤ This wasn't easy, but glad I joined as it's so moving; a wonderful composition! Merry Christmas everyone ❤ 🌲👏👏👏🌲🕊🕊🕊❤
Truly wonderful and honoured to have been apart of this incredible project. Thank you Morten Lauridson for sharing this beautiful piece of music and lyrics with us that drew me in more and more to the heartfelt meaning this song prevoked each time I revisited learning my part to submit. To all involved in making this video I salute you capturing the true meaning behind this song for us all to treasure forever xXx
Thank you for this, I am in tears! I was just able to catch up - it's the first premiere I had to miss since my first with Caledonia. Also life got in the way of sending a small video... in stead I was very moved by all the family love I discovered in the video. Well at least I was able to sing O Magnum Mysterium with all you beautiful people. My wish for the new year is that it may be as wonderful as this music! Thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart!
This is such a wonderful achievement - by Morten Lauridsen for creating such gorgeous music and SAHC for bringing our global community together to learn and sing it, then turning that into a video to be treasured forever. Thank you to all involved and Merry Christmas to all. I look forward to joining you for the next adventure in 2022 - yoiking with Frode Fjellheim. Can't wait! 😊💞⛄🎄🎆🎶
I had originally signed on to sing with you wondrous people, but life got in the way. I am kicking myself. Morten is a great benefactor to our world. I have made his acquaintance, as we lived on the same island (he still does) and missed an opportunity to sing "On This Shining Night" with his accompaniment. Anyway..an eternal piece of such beauty. Thank you so much!
♥️🤗🙏🎄❄️🎼SAHC, what a beautiful gift you’ve given us this Christmas! Truly it’s been a blessing to sing with you in 2021. 2022 will no doubt bring us many more memories & music together - I can’t wait! ♥️Thank you also to Morten Lauridsen, my fellow singers & Merry Christmas all! Be well & singing, always. 🤗🎼
What a privilege it was to take part in this project! The end result is truly beautiful. For me, this was the best project to date: such wonderful music, the unparalleled opportunity to rehearse with Morten Lauridsen himself, the depth of insights into both the score and the musical intention ... The link to this video is going out with Christmas greetings around the world. I just cannot express how grateful I am to have discovered the Stay At Home Choir. ❤
Simply beautiful! I love the piece as a whole, and it was wonderful to sing the soprano line, but I think my favourite parts comprise of just 2 notes - the G# in the altos when they sing "Virgo", and the basses final low D when they sing "Alleluia" at the end.
Aren't we all just ... well ... the Stay At Home Choir? Thanks to Tori and Jamie. Whithout them this wouldn't exist. What I love in the video is the "Romanti in pace" instead of "Rimanti". It really suits to the atmosphere of so many pieces we have sung already. Don't change it!!! Merry Christmas to everybody and hope to see and sing with you next year. Wolfram
WONDERFUL!! I am blessed in hearing your many uplifting musical celebrations of life. These reflections on 2021 also look forward with anticipation, a consecration of moments lived in grace, of being together. Suddenly, your life vignettes videos also serve as "time capsules" sent into 2022 & beyond, a proof that what we do today echos into eternity through the generations. What truly lasts? -- "Faith, Hope, and Love, but the greatest of these is Love." THANK YOU all for your gifts of music and love. Merry Christmas; Happy New Year.
Head to www.stayathomechoir.com - our next project, Vuelie with Frode Fjellheim, is open for registration now! Everyone is welcome, wherever you are in the world.
Our Lyrica Chamber Choir ha sung this piece several times and it moves me everytime. Thanks for this performance of this beautiful piece!!!
