Go to a catholic adoration chapel its silent. Go one hour a week close your eyes try not to think. Do that 4 weeks in a row. There have been atheists since the time of Christ. Fyi the strongest and most powerful conversion have been from avowed atheists.
What a joy to find this recording, free from the ground hum and photographers flashes that plagued the royal wedding broadcast. Simply the most moving piece of music I have, or am ever likely to, heard.
Thursday, the Christian church celebrates two great symbols from the Maundy Thursday service, which are pillars of Christianity -- the Washing of the Feet and the Last Supper. During the Washing of the Feet, the music is often set to the beautiful text of Ubi Caritas et Amor: Where charity and love are, God is there. Featured are three a capella settings.
it is impossible for me to listen to this without closing my eyes and breathing a deep sigh. Truly, this piece is the definition of "sublime". I look forward to your future compositions. :) And I'm so excited to be attending a performance of this piece for my birthday (performed by the Los Angeles Master Chorale).
that is exactly how an audience should respond to any music but definitely to something so beautiful. I hate it when an audience starts clapping the second the piece has finished!
(If you like this - try Vytautus Miskinis's "Time is endless") Beautiful. Proud to be British too. Imagine kneeling at the altar with this behind you...it would have sent chills down the spine. On an unrelated point - even atheists get transcendant sometimes...and modern choral music does it for me. Wonderful. Truly inspiring and interesting to contrast with the version "Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal".
I love finding new settings for this text. Beautiful composition, beautiful singing. Thank you! Will be mentioning this on an upcoming episode of my podcast, Take A Chants on Me.
He was my composition tutor in my last year of uni. Ace guy, he once described a work I made with another guy as "harry potter on acid". Glad he's recognized now. :)
How can anyone down arrow this? They must have lost their soul somewhere along the way...they better figure out where it went and fast. This is an amazing performance and a wonderful piece of music.
I love Whitacre "signature" but these are beautiful composition... and how could I not like a composer who loves bass voices so much ! just a little thing: I hear a lot of magnificent compositions, but it would be nice to have more dynamic and happy compositions too. Thank to the composer and to the choir for this wonderfull work.
It's not a phone backlight. There was at least one photographer taking pictures presumably for press/publicity. As the concert was almost completely lit by candle light, the photographers were using the focus assist lights on their cameras. It's a brief burst from one of those that appears at 2:20. There are a few other points in the the concert where they appear too. For some reason the video cameras resolve them as blue/violet rather than the red that they appear to the naked eye.
Yes, it is. His name is Thomas Featherstonhaugh...or Fetherstonhaugh. (I've seen both spellings.) His appearance has matured a bit here; this was about 6 months after the Royal Wedding. He seems like a great kid!
I first heard this piece at the royal wedding in April 2011! It is one of the most beautiful "Ubi Caritas" I `ve heard so far! But I am a little disappointed by the solo! Although it is a kid and all the live atmosphere is making him nervous! Compared to the stage and the audience at the royal wedding....
c#, a bit sharp tho. Last two "a-men"s got that (optional) note for second basses in score. We just started to learn this song in our choir, we're 4 second basses (no profondo). It must be quite a funny sight watching us concentrating to keep that note "ringing", luckily is pianissimo :)
It's velvet and silk. Just lose myself somewhere quite profound listening to this.
I’m an atheist but this piece of music, well perhaps there’s something within us, illuminated by something higher.
Jesus is real and He loves you very much. Imagine what music will sound like in Heaven. 😢
That something higher, we call God

Atheists are just self-absorbed agnostics

Greatest arrangement of Ubi Caritas ever. Well done Paul.
Completely glorious. So grateful in these turbulent times to be hearing this.
1:20 "Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum"
Such a GORGEOUS line by the women.
A piece of music I adore listening to on christmas eve, lights low, candles burning, being still in sanctuary
ahaha im doing the same, four years later
I like this version even better than the wedding-version.
This one is so soft, like flowing water. Incredibly beautiful.
love the bass baritone split at 1:40 really compliments the melody
OMG the chords in this song 😍
Such perfection and feeling bring me to tears every time I hear this angelic piece.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard.
Heaven might be sounding like this.... beautiful .....
Sarah Reiss
I think Heaven is jealous of something as beautiful as this existing on earth.
The sound and the meaning is divine
Welcome to Heaven.
One of the best arrangements of all time
Their pitch and tone are everything! Ending constants perfect.. str8 tone omg! Absolutely amazing!
This work has so much going on for it. I hope people perform it for a very long time.

Masterpiece! And the performance!
My all time favourite song. This version is the best. Love to play this over the back yard late at night as it can only aid good rest
Wowwwww.... JUST AMAZING! Love this! Marvellous! Bravo!
This is simply divine!!!
Beautiful..

Beyond beautiful- remember singing this in bath abbey years ago 🖤🖤😍😍🙏
I listen to this song over and over again. Your voices and intensity bring me to my knees. Thank you for your beautiful voices!

thank you for this
absolutely brings tears to my eyes
What is the name of this INCREDIBLE ensemble?! Holy moly!!
Julian Morris tenebrae!

Extraordinary piece of music.
Up-lifting and amazing stuff. Makes me proud of my country, as did the royal wedding.
I personally account for like 100 of the views on this performance...and the number will only rise every day. :)
Beyond beautiful
First heard this at the wedding of Prince William & Kate. That version is wonderful. Worth finding it.
Awesome, beautiful,wonderful...
He was my composition tutor in my last year of uni. Ace guy, he once described a work I made with another guy as "harry potter on acid". Glad he's recognized now. :)
Not at all religious, but this is amazing.
"There He is..."
there is God, this music is proof
This piece is AWESOME ...
This is how altos should sound. Bravo. Perfect balance, especially cluster chords.
Paul I tracked you down at the time, told you I was a cure fan and thought it was awsome
Magical!
Spectacular recording!
Was there even a royal wedding? Or was there just this piece
Oh lovely ❤️
Whhooowww thats the sound of the univers!
Such beautiful music yoh I love it
who needs reverb settings when u have a massive church to do it for u
0:43 is absolutely beautiful
wonderful music!!!
Muito lindo! ♥️♥️
This piece is trick. Really cool.
Goosebumps ❤
Paradise from all choir music.
How can anyone down arrow this? They must have lost their soul somewhere along the way...they better figure out where it went and fast. This is an amazing performance and a wonderful piece of music.
they sang it exactly the way westminster abbey chior did. beautiful
Exquisite !!
nice reworking of Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal. Loved that one and am enjoying this arrangement of it with the lyrics to Ubi caritas
Tenebræ ♡

Oh what a pity pity pity im not this good. brought a tear to my eye
Sang this at PMEA 2019
Hey, your download in unavailable now. Is there another way to download this art?
My high school choir is singing this. You think I'm kidding.
It's not a phone backlight. There was at least one photographer taking pictures presumably for press/publicity. As the concert was almost completely lit by candle light, the photographers were using the focus assist lights on their cameras. It's a brief burst from one of those that appears at 2:20.

Who is the choir singing this magical piece? So wonderful. Thank you
великолепно!!!
Your high school choir director is either nuts, or on a mission from God.
Same soloist from the wedding!
24 dislikes...seriously????
Wow!
I have sun this song before
He is.
Came here from those defining images
That 2:30 mark has me choked up every damn time
Nigel Short conducting Tenebrae.
Where I can find the partiture of this songs?
Novello do a score for SATB
yeah it is, he goes to my school and sits next to me in orchestra so when i found out about the royal wedding i kind of interrogted him about it!
It is a good setting of the text however I prefer Durufle's and even more so Lauridsen's. The exsultemus by Lauridsen is just exquisite
is the conductor an old King's Singers member?
Carmines lucis !
This is pretty much the same "now sleeps the crimson petal." No complaints though.
It is indeed, since the rearrangment of the motet as Ubi Caritas was commissioned by Prince William for the royal wedding.
im not even religious but i just saw god
Beautiful, just like Prince William and Kathryn's wedding...
This is the only version that sounds like William and Catherine's version which I LOVE!!! JUST BEAUTIFUL...STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!!
Looks like the same kid that did it at the abbey.
Yes, it is. His name is Thomas Featherstonhaugh...or Fetherstonhaugh. (I've seen both spellings.) His appearance has matured a bit here; this was about 6 months after the Royal Wedding. He seems like a great kid!
thanks!

How not to love life?

Although it is a kid and all the live atmosphere is making him nervous! Compared to the stage and the audience at the royal wedding....
+SEVENROCK100 just found out its the same boy! But he is much more nervous than at the royal wedding!
Godly chromatic mediant 1m48s
its ok :(
Not really. Many think the "o" vowel in latin is sung as "aw".
2:20 The alto checks her phone. You can see the backlight on her face. Just sayin'.
YES - I love it
not sung at royal wedding last year
was there a low c?
c#, a bit sharp tho. Last two "a-men"s got that (optional) note for second basses in score. We just started to learn this song in our choir, we're 4 second basses (no profondo). It must be quite a funny sight watching us concentrating to keep that note "ringing", luckily is pianissimo :)
ohh thank you
and good luck on that piece, may you reach the lowest notes
