8 years later I still can't get enough of the countertenor "crushing it" here. Wow. Just a wonderful performance by the Gesualdo six. 👏
While 2 counter-tenors are part of this ensemble, you are probably talking about Patrick Dunachie, who currently performs with The Kings Singers.
Gloria Patri, Filio, et Spiritui Sancto, sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
You can tell the quality of a choir when they have to resolve onto the same note - absolute perfection. Can someone be in love with a group of people they've never met?
I hope so hahaha since I have met neither God nor angels nor saints yet bear them deep affection and appreciation
Yes, absolutely.
The simplicity of the performance and the beauty of the voices are touching me to tears.
Patrick Dunachie - now he is a member of The King's Singers. Bravo!
Veni, veni Emmanuel;
Captivum solve Israel,
Qui gemit in exilio,
Privatus Dei Filio.
Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel,
Nascetur pro te, Israel!
Veni, veni, O Oriens;
Solare nos adveniens,
Noctis depelle nebulas,
Dirasque noctis tenebras.
Veni, Clavis Davidica!
Regna reclude caelica;
Fac iter tutum superum,
Et claude vias inferum.
Veni, veni Adonai!
Qui populo in Sinai,
Legem dedisti vertice,
In maiestate gloriae.
Those six young guys really sang very beautifully. Their voices very much echoes in the church.
Tears. So beautiful.
I have always been on a hunt for the best version of this song, and I have never been this close. Started crying in the second verse, thank you for that preformance!
My experience was similar (third verse). This group really brought this music to life.
I have to admit this version brought me to years. I never realized that male voice had such an amazing vocal range.
I was about to comment but you expressed exactly what I was going to.
Why tears?
Something amiss there.
I agree! I teared up too. These singers are so perfectly balanced
This is quite different to hear in Latin. I had to look up the lyrics, not that I really understand them, but merely to follow the sound. I know enough Spanish and French to recognize root words, but honestly, having that separation of language makes it easier to appreciate the spiritual sentiment of the hymn. These incredible young men do a really spectacular job of bringing that spirit to the listener with their clear voices and harmonies. Bravo, gentlemen!
I like what you said about the separation of language adding to the spiritual sentiment; as beautiful as hymns are in our native language, they're more...ordinary. The Latin calls to mind higher things.
sheer musical and theological beauty.
I just went through my very first Advent Procession at my local Episcopal Church (Anglican) tonight, and we sang this hymn with the choir. Wow. I cried during the song. I had never heard it before. Now it will be one of my favorite hymns for sure. Blessings to everyone!
There's depth in it for sure.
Yes, beauty does still reside within the spirit of man... such clear, clean voices and execution. Magnificent...
Such a splendid rendition. Sung this in high school.
This is THE Advent Hymn par excellence. The late Jessy Norman has a lovely version of it on her 'Jessy's Christmastide' disc. But this version is gorgeous!
This is the best version of "Veni Veni Immanuel".
The masterpiece that been following me for 6 years before the Christmas. Glorious!
So beautiful 😢Jesus I am not worthy. Thank you for all your love
They sounds like angels... this is beautiful.
So beautifully sung! Thanks, Gentlemen!
Einer der schönsten Adventsgesänge
I get goosebumps everytime I hear countertenors!
Proof that the best British choral singers all operate in the same tiny world:
1) The top countertenor all the way on the left is now in The King's Singers.
2) The low bass all the way to the right is in Voces8.
3) The conductor is in Tenebrae.
Really from the sky!!! God bless and remember every day: Jesus coming soon!
This truly is one of the most beautiful hymns in the Christian répertoire. Bravo !
This sounds great, i just can't describe the things i feel while listening to it
My ultimate favorite Christmas song. This one is a well done one! AMEN
The best version of this song on youtube, and I found it on a video about videogames XD
This is undoubtedly my favourite version of this hymn. What a performance- so precise and so balanced, yet with such exquisite phrasing. The rubato was perfect- not too much, just right. I think my soul exploded the first time I watched it!!
Phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. I must have viewed this three dozen times already, and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon.
Stunningly beautiful
FANTASTIC STRONG AND SOLID SOUND!!!!
Riveting.
A few years ago, I quickly scoured TH-cam for a performance of Veni, Veni Emmanuel to share with our children. After a quick 15 second listen, this was the one I chose. We all sat down and listened to the whole piece together. When the performance was over, my wife and I sat in stunned silence. Finally, I said something like, "Wow. Children, you just heard a masterpiece." We revisit this every year.
A couple of observations:
* They look so young!
* I just barely realized that Jonathan Pacey (Voces8) was in the Gesualdo Six (not very observant, this one).
Lovely, and moving. Thanks.
The King's Singers are incredible, but I much prefer this interpretation of this piece. What gets it for me is the crescendo beginning at 1:42; it truly evokes the passion in the text. Yes, I know that Gregorian chant is supposed to be relatively passionless, but the Gesualdo Six interpretation here just puts the gusto behind the music that I think it deserves. On top of that is the fact that the performance of this piece here is borderline flawless.
Bravo, Gesualdo Six!
Gregorian chants aren't passionless lmao.
We only think of Gregorian chant being passionless because we don't have any performance directions from the time, so often it will be performed without any variation. But given that so much of the music of the time was exegesis then I much prefer a bit of dynamics!
Love this version as well but what I loved about the King's Singers version is the prominent bass. Its too subdued here. It anchors the whole piece.
Fabulous singing guys! Thank you!!
Oh so lovely 😍
Your voices are those of Angels. I have goosebumps listing with tears in my eyes. It is the best version I have heard. May GOD Bless all of you.
Absolutely stunning. Such power and control, yet devoid of any effort in any voice. Love this!!!
You know I think it's safe to say these guys can sing. My goodness!
My favorite version of this song I can find
truly angelic
What a SUPERB performance of one of my favorite songs. These guys all have such polished quality. And I LOVE the clarity and purity of the countertenor.
beautiful execution wonderful voices a great and strong vocal balance compliments!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is something I will hear in Heaven. If I ever get there...
God blessed them with a great voice.
Best
Performance
Ever
Thank you
Gaude... Gaude.. rejoce ... frohlockt.... die beste Version, die ich bisher gehört habe. Danke. Thanks for this ❤️
Superb. Beauty, goodness and truth.
I love Advent hymns. Amazing group!
It is a miracle.
This and Gaudete by Prima Luce are the most exquisite versions of each song anywhere on the internet. Both sung in Latin, it makes them a joy to hear.
You are so right.
Two exquisite pieces in their own right, and I feel sure I haven't heard better examples.
I listen to this once a day. It's breathtaking.
It is almost unbelievable. Astonishing.
just found this and same thing gods energy cannot be denied.✝
Oh boy, the harmony of the three higher voices in the second stanza hit deep!
That movement feeling that the alto part brings is amazing…
This musical group has a great bass support throughout the whole song. This is beautiful.
Thanks a million to the choir! This song made me cry in a good way of course. I didn't listen to such songs a long time ago
The ending always takes my breath away
Wunderbare Stimmen, die die Herzen beruehren. Danke!
Beautiful arrangement and a very beautiful performance. Thank you.
BBC Choral Evensong on 19th August was sung by The Gesualdo Six. The choral singing was most uplifting and a great inspiration. My exploration of their talents continues. Many thanks to them, Owain Park and all who contributed to the Service.
Cantant latine lingue, magnificus praesentatio, vox Dei in auribus mei.
Oh WOW!! The Bass is a young Jonathan Pacey currently with Voces8. Interesting finds come in the suggested video column.
Fantastic arrangement and phenomenal voices! Your harmonies are beautiful!
Simply beautiful..
This song hymn was written over 300 years ago.
Zoltan Kodaly (the actual writer) died only in 1967... (but the original hymn could be 700 years old (franciscan procession))
My understanding is that the melody is quite ancient and may in fact date back to the late Roman empire.
@@thierryfontenay3770 ---Kodaly had a musical version, but this version is ancient Gregorian and well over 300 years old.
I think it's late renaissance.
I thought it was older than 1200 years?
Perhaps the greatest of all hymns. Beautifully sung here down to the finest detail. Thanks for making it so accessible. (We sang this in church a couple of Sundays ago, for Advent 1. In English of course and again of course nowhere near as well.)
God. Bless you
The only version of this song that should exist.
Stunning.
Perfection! The acoustics are beautiful and their sound is so full! Well done!
Such beauty. I am so glad that I saw you at the recent Perth International Festival. Your performance with William Barton was wonderful as well. Ancient voices with an ancient culture.
best thing i've ever herd in my life
Philip Lawson's arrangements are simply beautiful, and you guys did a superb job on this one. Keep them coming!
Absolutely lovely. Brought me to tears.
WOW WOW WOW WOW!
So Beautiful!!
Thank you for sharing!!!!
Almost Made me cry!
Holly crap! That was sooooo beautiful!!!!! Christ! Bravo!
The power of the human voice. Stunning
without a doubt, the best i have ever heard. this is my favorite carol, and i'm very picky about it. this was done absolutely beautifully! bravo!

This is a very fine arrangement. Bravo Mr. Park.
This is perfection. I've been listening on loop for days.
Just fanstastic
Absolutely gorgeous! Your voices are so very beautiful and I could listen to you sing all day. Such power and control, yet seemingly effortless. Very well done!
Amazing blending gorgeous Peace Jonathan as bass singer warm and deep voice and Patrick as countertenor 1 absolutely Great performance 😊😊☺️
Stunning. Remarkable.
Just perfect... Countertenors...
Magnífico ❤️
Perfection... Exquisite version
Gloria in excelsis Deo !
Beautiful! Heavenly!!!
Amo essa música! Magnífico 👏👏
Opened beautifully. Then stunned at the second verse.
Enchanting, just enchanting...
I got to briefly chat with Jonathan after a VOCES8 concert, where I claimed that all 67,000 views (at the time) were from me. I don't doubt it either.
Just perfect - Exquisite arrangement and performance.
I am SO pleased I found you so soon on my recently acquired tablet! Wonderful. Just keep on keeping on.
Thank you so much, June!
Searched "Patrick Dunnacie", can't wait for when he joins the King's singers
Aside from the musical perfection, the absence of over-the-top facial expressions is refreshing. So many seem to spend as long practicing their serious singing face in the mirror as they do actually practicing singing. Well done for just standing and singing perfectly.
This is the most beautiful recording of this arrangement. Incredible! Your dynamic range is just stunning. Thank you for this.
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
