Windborne sings a powerful traditional setting of the Stabat Mater from the village of Nebbiu in Corsica. The video was taken on an iPhone with no effects in the incredible refectory of Mont-Saint-Michel in France (the refectory is the place where people used to eat). The sound is simply incredible!

The bell chiming in the background at the end was so perfect
Wasn't that perfect? It kinda cracked us up :)
For anyone unaware, Mont Saint Michel normally keeps people from singing there, mostly because everyone and their brother would try to do it because of the acoustics. From what I remember this group got the chance because of the fortunate changing of guard or something or another, giving them a chance to bless everyone there and everyone who watched this video with what only could be described as an angelic performance
The bell rang right after.....and from their reaction this was not planned, it felt Divine!
An amazing performance - it was meant to be.
BTW the news guards came during the song but didn't stop them because they found the song great.
The fact that they did this just "off the cuff" is incredible. That's what blessed talent looks like.
@@Verlicchi There is singing and then there is Singing. This was appropriate Singing, suitable for the location. From what I read the guard had tears in his eyes while listening
I need to know which one of you disliked this so I can disable your internet privileges
This is like a heavy, cozy blanket that coats you with instant peace. Pure and perfect.
mmmm what a beautiful image. Than you!
Exactly how I feel!
I'm a grown a** man...I'm alone with 2 kids, I'm used to hardship and i know to hold my self...but this just melted me.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing that. We are honored that our music has touched so many people so deeply
Softness is not a weakness. It can exist alongside being grown, and being a man. I am glad you found joy in softness.
Hauntingly beautiful, like the gathering of the souls of generations together to create a mournful, plaintive, ethereal sound of another time. Stunning!
In a lot of ways, it *is* the sound of another time--this is a traditional setting of the Stabat Mater text from the village of Nebbiu in southern Corsica. Corsican polyphonic singing dates back hundreds of years, and it definitely feels like being a conduit for something ancient to sing it. If you're interested, check out the Corsican groups Tavagna and A Filetta
Couldn’t have worded it better myself
i cannot stop crying from how beautiful and touching this is. the tiktok was not enough, this is a masterpiece.
I thought i was the only one crying from its beauty..i feel ya
i cried too haha this is so beautiful❤❤❤❤
i feel you, it was overwhelming me.
I thought I was alone being so moved by this since hearing it a few weeks ago. It is still playing in my head . Stunning. ❤
Stabat Mater dolorosa
Iuxta crucem lacrimosa
Dum pendebat Filius
Cuius animam gementem
Contristatam et dolentem
Pertransivit gladius
Quando corpus morietur,
Fac, ut animae donetur
Paradisi gloria. Amen
The grieving Mother stood
weeping beside the cross
where her Son was hanging
Through her weeping soul,
compassionate and grieving,
a sword passed.
When my body dies,
grant that to my soul
is given the glory of paradise. Amen
Thank you
This song humbles me everytime I come across it. Thank you for this.
Thank you thank you for the lyrics and the translation. Thank you!
as a corsican girl, i can tell you how great your performance was. i’m glad my culture is appreciated. thank you guys 🖤
We adore Corsican music! Thank you for listening!
Stunning and so moving.
Thank you for listening! 🎶💗
@@WindborneSingers I'm just wondering if you'd like this version :) th-cam.com/video/nhtOORYTGx8/w-d-xo.html
Have you ever heard of them? :)
I feel like if ever humanity goes extinct. Whenever some alien race ever would discover the long since lost ruins of our sivilization, this song would be a fitting anthem to humanity...
& the tourists in the background really thought they'd just be going home with a fridge magnet of Eifel Tower. I imagine this experience would be unforgettable for them. These hymns from the middle ages are just beautiful.
This genuinely brought me to tears, I don’t know if I will ever hear something this beautiful again
Thank you so much! There is so much incredible Corsican music out there--as the other commenter noted, A Filetta is an amazing group to check out, as well as Tavagna (our Corsican music teacher Jean-Etienne Langianni sings with them).
Well, you can try Tenebrae Choir :) th-cam.com/video/H3v9unphfi0/w-d-xo.html
Or my favourite Slovak soprano accompanied by an oboe: th-cam.com/video/aQsVxuRR2EU/w-d-xo.html
Or Stabat Mater by two metal sopranos... th-cam.com/video/nhtOORYTGx8/w-d-xo.html

I was BALLING 😭
It's the room and of course it's a polyphony so it's always beautiful!
Like many I was brought to tears. It was a little unexpected honestly. This is so beautiful and haunting and something about the tone just cut through me. Absolutely gorgeous.
Thank you so much. The voice and harmony singing can be so powerful!
I would have to say this absolutely., word for word!!!
Tiktok got me here and I can’t complain, this is human, this is us
Thanks for finding us here too!
The bell tolling at the end was a sign that you all were at the right place at the right time, giving beauty to our world, astonishingly outstanding!!
I came from tik tok. This was so beautiful I cried🥺🤍unlocked a memory of something I can’t particularly remember...I don’t know if that makes sense.
The voice of your descendants is vibrating through your mouths in the most beautiful form. Magnificent!
Thank you! We definitely feel like a conduit for something bigger than us singing in such an incredible space like that
*Ancestors
Definitely meant ancestors I'm sure... that takes on a WHOLE different meaning otherwise
The mistake didn’t even bother me, I’d have no better way of saying it! They’re so special
I'm a Muslim and i think this has a relationship with Christ
But maaan i felt a warmth in my heart listening to this masterpiece i loved it and i can't stop listening to it now
Brother. Do know that in the Christian world, Allah loves you, and wants you to be a part of his glory.
Be blessed and welcome to join.
There is ONE Creator.....
And you will ONLY get to him via CHRIST, the son of the ONE CREATOR.
@@AshleighFrithrelax. be not afraid. allah is god. god is allah. i mean this quite literally. bear with me for a second.
islam, judaism, and christianity formed from the same monotheistic root - this means that this person follows your god, but believes in different customs and background surrounding him. muslims believe in prophets, you believe in a son of god, and catholics believe in priests; but all of you believe in the same god.
there's more. (you brought it up.)
even if it _was_ a fundamentally different god, why do you cast judgment?
the lord gave us all free will, the freedom to choose, the beauty of a complex mind, the divinity of a complex world. god knew you in the womb. does god lack the power to create a people unable to question him? was god's promise after the great flood meaningless? are we god's greatest failure?
you invoked jesus. what did jesus preach?
jesus of nazareth was a simple, unassuming man. he was an artisan, maybe a carpenter or a stonemason. he was very charismatic and very opinionated. people liked him and agreed with him.
and he liked being liked. no one had to earn the wine and fish he shared. the sick, the poor, and the sinners did not have to earn his respect and friendship. the needy did not need to earn his protection from predatory lending practices. he preached inclusivity, advocacy, and justice.
and most notably, jesus of nazareth was executed for treason. for radicalizing the people. for preaching the word of god. jesus died for his belief in the freedom of religion.
is this person damned? does jesus damn this person?
christians found meaning in jesus's death. they believe his death brought them salvation, that he died for our sins. if someone can be damned as a nonbeliever, what happened to jesus's sacrifice? what happened to the salvation? did mary, whose agony is described in the song in this video, have to watch her son perish for no reason?
did he die for you in vain?
let he who is without sin cast the first stone. what do you think jesus would think seeing you pass judgment? was this respectful of his teachings? was his unconditional acceptance a mistake in your eyes? are you more wise than jesus of nazareth?
now, this is just a personal belief. the third commandment: thou shalt not take the lord's name in vain. the ninth commandment: thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
i don't believe saying stuff like "oh my god!" is using his name in vain. we call to god when we're frightened, angry, or excited. this demonstrates our fondness for his divinity. we like him. that's a reason, and so it's not in vain.
i believe invoking his name to oppose his teachings is using his name in vain. i believe it is to bear false witness. i believe what you said here goes against the core tenets of the religion you preached in the first place, and i believe you owe this person an apology.
i believe you can change, and you will be forgiven - if not by this person or by me, then by jesus, who was tortured for you AND for the person you spoke to.
and most of all, i believe it would be cool to see some of jesus's woodwork. i wonder if he was good at it.
happy pride!
Anyone else listening to this hear between 230 and 260 how it sounded like they were joined by the ancients who sang there?
Yes!
Sounds like there are some polyphonic notes eg 1:46
That’s the angel’s notes. When polyphonic singing is ‘just right’ and the acoustics just right, you get notes that weren’t sung by human voice. It’s an amazing experience.
@@Cabingirlandrandomcrap absolutely agree
The “Amen” and bell tolls at the end sent chills up my spine. Beautiful ✝️
Tragic, and hauntingly beautiful. Songs like these always bring me to a past I’ve never lived, yet yearn to see with my own eyes. It’s like a memory of a world that is dying or gone already.
Tik Tok brought me here, and I’m glad to stay. :) This music moved me deeply.
This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever heard. Thank you for sharing.
Thank YOU for listening!
Same
Absolutely incredible, it's criminal that this hasn't gotten the attention it deserves. Everyone needs to hear this
Thank you so much. Please share far and wide!
Just discovered this yesterday on TikTok by pure coincidence, and I haven’t stopped listening ever since. I’m not a religious person by any means, I’m not baptized and don’t believe in god, but this piece gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up. It perfectly captures the kind of sorrow and heartache a mother must feel after losing her son, which is what this song is about.
Absolute masterpiece, that I will keep coming back to! Thank you, Windborne!
We are always astounded by how powerful the human voice can be, especially raised in harmony with others. Thank you for listening!
TTok and UTube Liked, subscribed, notifications - all bc of this song. Thank you.
I haven’t let tears out of my eyes in years, and I couldn’t hold it back while watching this.
Wow, thank you for sharing that! We are honored to be part of that experience for you
I’m a man who genuinely struggles with the ability to express my emotions.
This makes me openly weep with its beauty.
Basically listened to this on repeat for 4 hours .... literally 4 hours
Thank you for singing for our Lady of Sorrows, may God bless you
I LOVE hearing chamber music with such juicy alto parts. Is there sheet music for this piece available
Yeah, and a space like that really lets the music soar! This is a traditional setting of the Stabat Mater text from the village of Nebbiu in southern Corsica, which we learned by ear (Corsican music is often taught by ear because there is a lot of improvisation within the style). Check out the Corsican groups Tavagna and A Filetta if you're interested in more music like this--it's totally breathtaking
No wonder they don't allow singing in this room. You can feel the magic through a screen.
I've listened to this at least 20 times in the last 24 hours. Tears everytime. So moving, so ancient, so spiritual.
I love your comment ❤
imagine being a Viking raiding some monastery and you burst into the chapel just to hear this. I'd prob stop pillaging
I know its 3 years old. But I just found it. It literally brought tiers 5o my eyes. Thank you. I needed this today.
Heartbreakingly beautiful, thank you.
Could I respectfully suggest that the camera person lowers the camera sometimes and angles it upwards to capture more of the majesty of the architecture. 😉xx
Thank you for not choosing some pop song for this. This was wonderful. Mont-Saint-Michel is truly a wonder
HBO missed out big time on GOT with you guys
Saw this on TikTok and this by far is the best version I've heard. Beautiful, sublime and truly moving. You can hear the passion and the sadness that echoed in those walls.
Thank you so much, glad you found your way here for the full song
@@WindborneSingers Thank you for bringing such beautiful music to life, you're amazing please continue to make such beautiful music!!
So, I found this on TikTok and sent it to my husband who is going to use it in our dnd campaign as background music because it reminds me of a dnd campaign ❤️ I subbed to y’all!! Keep it up!
YEEEEES it will be soooo good in a campaign 💗
@@timmyandchloepnw8122 hubby thought so too! He won’t give any spoilers though 🙃
@@emilycoomer7197 that’s awesome!
Nice, I love that
I'm crying on the toilet 🥺
His Angels pt 3 brought me here
“This is but the first of many storms you must weather, and once again you are standing on the anvil. And it is time to test your steel, son of Vulkan.”
Imagine being a tourist and have this happen in front of you... Goosebumps all over.
This is God’s work. Resurrecting the energy lines and the sacred sites. The Word is made flesh through these human angels. Sing Rosslyn Chapel, Sing Glastonbury, Sing every sacred site back to life please.
The alto was really beautiful in this piece
This is gorgeous, something about this sound gives me chills
Us too! It was breathtaking to sing in that space...
My mother recently passed away. Our thing was sitting at the computer together taking turns showing each other videos of people singing. I wish I would have known about this song then. She would have cried as much as I have watching it. Thanks for sharing your beautiful gift.
Thank you for sharing that story💛 Our hearts go out to you for your loss
@@WindborneSingers Thank you.
people have been making music together since creation. it's one of the first things we did and it's one of the things all cultures have in common. we all sing together, wear hats, love our babies, and make bread. i believe music connects us on a primal level.
the composer is invoked when they sing. the architect who built the temple to carry sound to the heavens is invoked when they sing. and i believe that your mom is invoked by your love of music.
in that way, she's never fully gone, is she?
i'm sorry for your loss.
English Translation:
At the Cross her station keeping,
Stood the mournful Mother weeping,
Close to Jesus to the last:
Through her heart, his sorrow sharing,
All his bitter anguish bearing,
now at length the sword has passed.
Oh, how sad and sore distressed
Was that Mother highly blest
Of the sole-begotten One!
Christ above in torment hangs;
She beneath beholds the pangs
Of her dying glorious Son.
Is there one who would not weep,
Whelmed in miseries so deep,
Christ's dear Mother to behold?
Can the human heart refrain
From partaking in her pain,
In that Mother's pain untold?
Bruised, derided, cursed, defiled,
She beheld her tender Child
All with bloody scourges rent;
For the sins of his own nation,
Saw Him hang in desolation,
Till His Spirit forth He sent.
O thou Mother! fount of love!
Touch my spirit from above,
Make my heart with thine accord:
Make me feel as thou hast felt;
Make my soul to glow and melt
With the love of Christ my Lord.
Holy Mother! pierce me through;
In my heart each wound renew
Of my Saviour crucified:
Let me share with thee His pain,
Who for all my sins was slain,
Who for me in torments died.
Let me mingle tears with thee,
Mourning Him who mourned for me,
All the days that I may live:
By the Cross with thee to stay;
There with thee to weep and pray;
Is all I ask of thee to give.
Virgin of all virgins blest!,
Listen to my fond request:
Let me share thy grief divine;
Let me, to my latest breath,
In my body bear the death
Of that dying Son of thine.
Wounded with his every wound,
Steep my soul till it hath swooned,
In His very blood away;
Be to me, O Virgin, nigh,
Lest in flames I burn and die,
In his awful Judgment day.
Christ, when Thou shalt call me hence,
Be Thy Mother my defence,
Be Thy Cross my victory;
While my body here decays,
May my soul thy goodness praise,
Safe in Paradise with Thee.
Exquisite, moving, the human soul's lament to the universe.
Heard this on tiktok an I've never rewatched a video on there so many times. This is something special. Un-fuckin-believable. Never take this video down
In one take? In. One. Take. I’ve seen beauty but have never heard beauty such as this. Merci.
anyone else hear that eerie sound @1:46 to @1:50??
that’s definitely some transcendent spirit communication 😳😍
Singing this ancient music in such an incredible space is definitely a transcendent experience
I tought i heard some serious overtones, maybe from the bass unvoluntary?
I tought i heard some serious overtones, maybe from the bass unvoluntary?
@@WindborneSingers you all are incredible!! loved every second of this!!
@@Juhanikki. great ear! They are from the bass (me!) very specifically. The vowel shift during that chord is one of my favorite moments to sing!
Song of my heart after 2 years of Pandemic. Mourning.
Once again, a video that deserves to be liked 1000 times and I can't... THANKS.
THANK YOU! We feel the love
Left me with goosebumps from head to toe ❤
Us too!!
Try this from Corsica too th-cam.com/video/FU-wBJ4r3f0/w-d-xo.html
@@capudiovu2a665 you also know Tavagna, no? We love their music as well, and studied Corsican singing with Jean-Etienne Langianni. His composition Missa per in Tempi Novi is one of our favorite pieces of sacred music (though we mostly sing secular paghjella)
@@WindborneSingersNow all you have to do is learn our language! I take this answer to advise you the books of dorothy carrington on Corsica. This would inspire even more your singing which is already very beautiful. Forza.
@@capudiovu2a665 thank you!
Power of music. Hit ya even as an atheist
I'm not religious particularly but this must be what heaven sounds like❤️
I don't know quite if I can call it beautiful, haunting, slightly transcendent and melancholy possibly. Fantastic, more of this please! Subbed!
Also, I can imagine this with any closing scene to a movie, you need a deal!
Stabat Mater - The Suffering Mother
This is genuinely beautiful. I serve on the altar at the Latin Mass and get to hear music like this a lot, but this is so unique and special in its own way. Reminds me of the bitterness and sorrow of Christ's Passion, but how it was Gods ultimate love for us...
I came from insta.. this is beyond emotional..every hair on my body standing up for the past 30 minutes
One day we will look behind us. Watch french forgotten local culture... And cry.
That bell chiming was no coincidence. ✝️
This makes me feel powerful. Like I'm sitting on my noble steed atop a grassy knoll about to ride into battle alongside my brothers.
this is one of the most beautiful things my ears have ever had the pleasure of listening to. thank you
I actually cried :') this is beautiful
This sent chills down to my very core... Simply amazing!
Thank you!
This type of polyphonic singing is called Paghjella in corsican... which is usually profane, this one is a sacred one. It is a unesco Intangible cultural heritage since 2009. Paghjella, means little "pair/couple" (paghju) in corsican and yet it is sung in three.
Yes! We also sing a lot of secular paghella. We love the rootedness of the chords and the freedom for improvisation. It’s such an amazing repertoire to learn!
Found this on tiktok and HAD to listen to the full version. Absolutely incredible. Full body chills.
Came across this this morning and it did something to me!!! It awoke my soul and resonated deeply, giving me goosebumps, then I burst into tears....in a good way. Wow 🤩 a 3 minute therapy wonder!!!
I love how they transmit pain with their voices, it's jus amazing. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece!
Can this be put on Spotify? 🙏
Working on it!
Yes! Working on it now! Follow us to get notified when it's up :)
@@WindborneSingers Thank you so much !
One or more of them is overtoneing like a Tibetan Munk. Amazing
It certainly does feel like something holy doesn't it? Like you're truly apart of something bigger. I'd like to think that this is fate, bringing you all back together tens of generations later, after your ancestors sung in the very halls of the fortress you did. It might not be true, but it's a nice thought.
Will someone PLZ make a 1 hour loop???
imagine hearing this live. on video, you can't even get half the experience.
I dont think I'll ever stop listening to this
I've listened to this several time and every single time I get chills. Every time. It's insane. This is one of the most haunting and beautiful things I've ever heard. Thank you for sharing it.
"filmed by Tasha Carter- Gordon": Thank You: very, very good!
omgoodness ive been putting in reiterations of “choir in empty church” in tiktok for half an hour. im so glad i refound it on youtube 🙌 the google of tiktok
I feel like the little bell ringing at the very end was simply a little nod from the universe confirming that it was listening, and that it approved ❤️
To bring forth the embodiment of love and then see it killed. What’s most profound to me is the many cultural influences at play here. Second most are these artists vision of the work👌
Please chant more in Florian (in this case) Gregorian, Benedictine, anything in Latin. Your Key and Tone in Stabat Mater is fantastic.
Thank you! We love this setting of the Stabat Mater--it's from the village of Nebbiu in southern Corsica.
I like how there is zero dislikes
right?!
The most beautiful music in the universe is the music of the Christ and His Bride.
This is giving me the masculine urge to leave my current life and go live in a monastery.
I've listened to this like 5 times a day for the past week and I'm still not tired of it, so beautiful 💜
This hit a soul deep longing. My heart is so very full. You have my thanks.
This is the first time a song has made me cry and im astonished
praying this ends up on amazon music🙏🙏
Any chances you put this one on Spotify? Unfortunately YT destroys the sound and it sounds so much better on Tiktok, imagine how perfect it would sound on Spotify... Food for thought?
We’re in the process of getting it up on Spotify! It’ll take a few weeks, but if you follow us you’ll get it on your Release Radar! Http://sptfy.com/windborne (and it’s available for download on our website and Bandcamp)
Made my way here from Tiktok and wow, I cannot overstate how incredibly gorgeous and moving this music is. Thank you for sharing this gift with us.
Words like “haunting” come to mind. As others have said, it’s like we’re in an ancient time and place here with you. Incredible.
Thank you so much. It's an honor for us to share this music
Merci pour ce moment de grâce
C’est un moment de paix. Comment si vous pouvais parler à nôtre Dieux.
but for us, salamanders. it is a reminder..
This is so raw and full of emotion, it belongs on a movie soundtrack. Beautifully sung
Stressed out while studying for finals right now and found peace listening to this. Thank you so much.
and yet... this only has 72k views...
France daughter of the mother church
The grieving Mother stood weeping beside the cross where her Son was hanging
Through her weeping soul, compassionate and grieving, a sword passed
O how sad and afflicted was that blessed Mother of the Only-begotten!
Who mourned and grieved, the pious Mother, looking at the torment of her glorious Child
Who is the person who would not weep seeing the Mother of Christ in such agony?
Who would not be able to feel compassion on beholding Christ’s Mother suffering with her Son?
For the sins of his people she saw Jesus in torment and subjected to the scourge.
She saw her sweet offspring dying, forsaken, while He gave up his spirit
O Mother, fountain of love, make me feel the power of sorrow, that I may grieve with you
Grant that my heart may burn in the love of Christ my Lord, that I may greatly please Him
Holy Mother, grant that the wounds of the Crucified drive deep into my heart.
That of your wounded Son, who so deigned to suffer for me, I may share the pain
Let me, pious one, weep with you, bemoan the Crucified, for as long as I live
To stand beside the cross with you, and gladly share the weeping, this I desire
Chosen Virgin of virgins, be not bitter with me, let me weep with thee
Grant that I may bear the death of Christ, the fate of his Passion, and commemorate His wounds
Let me be wounded with his wounds, inebriated by the cross because of love for the Son
Lest I be set afire by flames of death, Virgin, may I be defended by you, on the day of judgement
Let me be guarded by the cross, armed by Christ’s death and His grace cherish me
When my body dies, grant that to my soul is given the glory of paradise. Amen
Would love to hear more of this type of dining in churches like this. The sound truly bring chills to me and my soul. It’s so soothing and make me feel as if I’m alone but safe at the same time.
Does anyone know who this was written by? Stabat Mater is an extremely popular chant and has been rewritten by so many composers, I'd love to know which rendition this is!
Me too, i need a studio quality version of this.
