There is no sound, no harmony, no ensemble that can hold a candle to VOCES8. I am mesmerized by the sound of their voices and I feel honored to hear them. 🥰
so agree!!!!
I really do enjoy and "drink" their sound that truly feeds my soul. But saying they are so good no other ensemble can match them... There are a lot of really, really ! good ensemble, just maybe not on youtube :)
Same here, Miss. And I am amazed that composers "HEAR" these melodies and harmonies in their spirit, soul and body and then give them all to the listening peeps like you and I.
You said it!! ❤
Indeed. I had the immense blessing of seeing them perform live last week and had a front-row seat. It was truly one of the most moving musical moments of my life.
Thank you Voces8 in working with me on this, I hope it becomes a special song for people, i always knew my fingers playing the keys were actually voices, it's amazing to see this happen. Big love. James
Yeah, you made it! You got me crying this time😊
Stunning performance, as always.
❤
What a beautiful composition. THANK YOU for composing such amazing music. ❤❤❤❤❤
wow, astounding 🇦🇺
Bravissimo - Sie haben die besonderen Fähigkeiten des "Klangkörpers" Voces 8 in Ihrer Komposition so deutlich hörbar gemacht- dieses spannungsgeladene "Schweben" und die Klangfarben der Stimmen vom zartesten Piano bis zum voluminösen Forte...delikat, farbenprächtig und dennoch durchsichtig. Wie ein Blick in einen sternklaren Abendhimmel in einer stillen Landschaft...
Your intonation is so precise that the sound makes my ears and teeth hurt. What sheer beauty ringing and ringing.
VOCES8: sustained, unwavering, crystal clear. The best.
That was absolutely gorgeous!!! Thanks for sharing your gifts of music
My 3-year-old daughter sat still for this whole song and listened with wonder. She loved it, and I loved it too ❤
I love you all. Thank you.
I have yet to hear a bum note from Voces8 EVER. A Masterpiece of composition, arrangement and performance.❤
Wonderful sound, wonderful soprano!
In this video everyone of you looks very serious, arms wrapped around...
It happened yet again, even though I shouldn’t be surprised anymore: in tears after ten seconds 🥺😭
No sniveling egos, but 8 different and gifted souls merging into musical messaged One-ness
That sopranos voice literally sounds like crystal. I've never heard a human voice hit these notes and not be terrible before. I can lean into the high notes without fear. How!!? And I can feel these chords in my spine. Pretty amazing.
I LOVE VOCES8, Que Bello, Bella magnifico (Andrea ;-) )
Voces8 are a rare combination of perfection, beauty and profound emotions. Excellent!
The voices beautifully fusing and the soprano in the end without vibrato, so clear and almost supernaturally perfect ...
Wow wow wow. That last note of Andrea was heavenly superb ❤️❤️❤️.
4:44
Every note before, too. And every voice.
Oh, to be in that room!
Geeze. To virtually say absolutely nothing but yet to say everything I needed to hear.
Pure perfection
VOCES8 is just what we need during these trying global times. Their sounds and artistry soothe the soul and show us that there's still beauty and hope in this world. Nothing exemplifies it more than this gorgeous performance. Bravo and thank you, VOCES8!!
You hit the nail on the head. I think precisely the same thing when I hear them perform. ❤
huh?
Nothing you will ever hear will come close to the beauty, depth, and special expression of Voces8...wow....goes right to your very heart and soul. God bless them...
I am so grateful for these videos. Thank you all!
Perfection in each voice! Andrea you sing with such sensuality and spirituality it was beautiful when you and Blake joined in together. Guys, your music sends me to a very special place deep in my heart. Please keep the videos coming.
I think a lot of people have already rightly praised this wonderful piece of music. In an increasingly difficult world, performances like this have an incremental value and as well as praising VOCES8s' professional skills, there is cause to be grateful to them.
another holy prayer in sound
No words.
Just thankful for I' m alive and witness such beauty.
Magic
Geoff Lawson's arrangements for Voces8 are always stellar, and this is no exception!
Beautiful, tender and perfect. What a resononance!
It amazes me how having no knowledge of this song. And this being the first time hearing them. How I am brought to tears with the beauty of these voices. Absolutely incredible
C'est toujours merveilleux de vous découvrir dans de différents chants , comme si l'on découvrait le monde de cette musique enchanteresse.....Merci à vous ....🌹🌹🤍🤍❤❤🕊🕊🎵🎵
Goosebumps; shivers down my spine! Beautifully awesome and comforting.
Awesome resonant vibration of air columns.
Unbelievebel! So so beautiful!⭐️🌟✨️
The ending is extremely sublime ❤
Superb is not strong enough to describe this beautiful performance. Perfectly executed. We're conditioned now to expect greatness every time!
Beautiful, ethereal, spine-tingling......
Big thanks from Ukraine, Kyiv...
Seriously unbelievably incredible
Heavenly, thank you! I'd listen the next hour also...
Angels voices ❤❤
Wow! Absolutely stunning! Each voice is perfect and blends so well with the others, there's no ensemble to match Voces8
Simply amazing, thank you, its so great to listen to your perfomances here on this channel!
A staggeringly beautiful performance.
I just found out today that a dear friend of mine passed away tragically. Hearing this on Tiktok I ran straight to TH-cam for the full version. I just sat in the dark and listened, and let my heart speak the words I wanted to say to him. Thank you for making such a wonderful soundtrack for our lives.
Wow.
Sometimes an arrangement is better than the original, revealing a new texture, for example. I think that is the case here. The endless percussion of repeated notes on the piano in the original version produces one kind of an effect, but "unplugging" that and replacing it with sustained chords from an ethereal choir in this version produces a very different, calming effect. I am reminded of Samuel Barber's "Adagio for Strings," which he first wrote for string quartet but then arranged for string orchestra, with a more dramatic, massive sound. This is the version that is most often performed, and is arguably better than the original. Barber also arranged it for choir, where (note, V8) it probably sounds better with 80 singers than with 8. 😀
It is difficult to add anything to the superlatives so justly deserved with regard to the sound, sensitivity, expressiveness, and sheer beauty of this glorious creation of the human voice. Listening, I am transported to a realm where all is good, right, healed and whole. Profound gratitude, Voces 8.🩵
My goodness, this is so beautiful.
Precision, timing, beautiful sound❤
This is a higher dimension of music!
Goosebumps...
Tears of mine flow with Joy, appreciation and gratitude that I was given ears with which to lounge in this field of musical daffodils
Looking forward to hearing you in person in a few weeks. Can't wait!
Pulchra! Plenus vita. Gratias.
4:33 rise and solo voice. Wonderful. :)
Beautiful and soothing
Creating new life never experienced before.
Awe
Wonder
Hope
There are just no words. 🎵❤🕊
Thanks for giving us this!
Stunningly beautiful ❤️
Perfect: an a strange thing happened: things starts "singing" and "buzzing" around me : tambourine and drum heads, and strings: glass in picture frames and mirrors as though the doors and walls were trying to join in! As I said: Perfect.
I thought Andrea's heavenly voice at the end sounded just like a finger run round a wine glass, crystal notes
Incredible! Amazing ! I and my Soul admire :)))
I love your art. You are masters. Saw you at Queens College Charlotte. Wonderful.
this was gorgeous! pls show the lower voices more often! they deserve some love. esp at moments like 3:57!
That chord at 3:57 is just magic!
Breathtaking stuff! Love this 😀
Breathtaking ❤️
They know they're on a massive roll with these videos, which is making them relax into their own distinct sound even more.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
sublime ...❤
Oh my goodness what an end!😮❤
Magnifique !!! Merci pour vos voix, je suis au paradis 🥰
A treasure

Wowzer!

Wow this is stunning.
Andrea's sustained tone at the end is so pure, it may as well have been generated by a synthesizer.
Époustouflante !
