For those wishing to identify each singer...
Soprano: Hannah Ely
Alto: Helen Charlston
Tenor: Josh Cooter
Bass: Tom Kelly
Thank you very much, the sound that the alto makes is practically divine.
Thank you! I wanted to know! They are all four glorious, and the way they are so in sync with one another, is a thing of beauty.
Where is this choir based?
The 4 voices are superb but the alto... Hers is one of a kind! I've always thought alto is the most difficult voice to show off but, Oh muy goodness... She really stands up. Bravo.
*Bass: Ben McKee!
4 great singers. Gratz for the performance.
Very, very difficult to fly solo, yet all four did so magnificently. The soprano was pure, the alto was strong, the tenor was bold, the bass had incredible breath control in moving so much air.
Thank you for recording this.
Para mí, muy buenos los cuatro...
Yes, great recording.
the soprano is pure, clear, eternal
the alto is warm, enveloping, steady
the tenor is bold, hopeful, longing
the bass is grounded, cautious, protective
perfection
I am in love with the alto's voice. They're all very telented, but wow.
She is the best.
Yep. Helen Charlston.
Seamless!
I'm 73 and I still remember how impressed I was on hearing this work for the first time back in 1965.
wow!
How was it? Where were you?
@@---.----- It was ethereal. It was during my first trip on LSD.
Yeah u aint reaching 77 old af
Yeah the way it goes into 3/4 time With the Alleluiah, very joyous, and then it ends in the 4/4, it sounds more modern like Classical Mozart or something.
They are all magnificent. The soprano is stunning, the alto so warm and confident, the tenor adorable, and the base voice is such a rock of it all. Victoria and Palestrina reminded everybody of only the human voice was called to sing to the Lord. And the Latin is just sublime!
could you tell me who is exercising each thing?
From left to right: soprano, alto, tenor and bass
Tu comentario está muy bueno
Incredible rendition! Soprano,Alto, Tenor Bass voices came out distinctly. As a bass singer myself, I was partial to the bass singer. He was fantastic! Bravo!
I want to meet that alto. I’m currently learning the alto part. She’s phenomenal
Leslie Palmer Agreed!
Yep. That’s exactly what I thought from the very moment she joined the soprano to the end.
Love a strong alto!
Her voice is beautifull
Agreed! My ideal tone for my own voice, but I got a lot of work to do to get half as good.
This is one of the best versions on TH-cam.
I agree! This video had previously been uploaded by someone else until it got taken down for some reason. I needed a place to listen to it, so I reuploaded it myself!
@@BeejIsHere gracias!
Dang, everyone was really great. That alto and bass sounded really strong, and I liked how smooth the tenor sounded.
May I add, the soprano sounded great too lol
we sing this at church, and this "small version" with only 4 helps me a lot to pick up the parts. sooo sweet. God bless these 4, and whoever helped them produce this
Did you sing it on a mass? Incredible!
@@victormendes7946 oh, many times. but, trust me, we are not so good. have you ever seen someone waterskiing, and he slips out of the skis, but does not let go, and the boat is dragging him as he bounces along.... that is me
@@kellymontgomery1293My church choir director, a wonderful old lady, told us when we were struggling to get a song down that God knew our hearts and we sounded perfect to Him. It usually helped us to relax a little and the songs "clicked" a little easier.
@@victormendes7946 see below
I have also sang this at Midnight Mass at my church. My present parish has the Traditional Latin Mass and the choir has sung the entire de Victoria mass. It was so very moving. I sang the tenor part, and singing it was an emotional experience.
I really love this warm and strong Alto voice. However, the whole ensemble is just great. And the music from that time is adorable: like waves coming in and going out, flowing into each other.
Siii...!!!!!❤
So much music from only 4 voices! Rich, full, perfectly harmonized. Best recording I've heard! They were all spectacular, but the soprano stood out the most to me. Truly heavenly.
And the bass, those soft rich tones, wow!
The perfect version, Victoria would be very happy to hear this.
Victoria's is by far the best setting. No one has composed a better one since.
i think we're spoiled with all the good settings
Lauridsen?
Nothing like a minor mode to emote that verse.
I tend to agree. I have done Cristobal Morales. This composition uplifts the soul like no other. The ensemble has done a good job
I think Victoria is the most brilliant polyphonic composer of all time. As each generation gets more stupid, the likelihood of any contemporary composer being a true peer of Victoria, Palestrina, Byrd, etc. is almost 0%. When the Catholic Church performed euthanasia on its own music and forced New Dawn Music down our bleeding ear canals in the 1970's the masters were kept alive at Tower Records, one aisle over from KISS and Black Sabbath. And now the masters are kept alive on TH-cam. The irony is uncanny: the Church expunges herself from something truly holy and brilliant, only for that thing to be picked up by the most unlikely characters. Like a lion released from its cage, this music is forever in the wild, regardless of whether the Church ever comes to see the lunacy (or darkness) of her decisions. Victoria will live forever because it transcends time, bypasses our broken flesh and speaks directly to our God-given soul, with which Victoria, as a faithful priest, was familiar.
the alto wow!!
This is an unequallled work of art in both composition and performance.
THE BASS!!!!!!!! ❤️
Such a beautifully controlled sound! Each of the four voices has its own rich, distinctive sound. As an ensemble they combine their individual voices without losing anything of their own distinctiveness - I believe this is exactly what Victoria intended!
3:05 damn, that high note though
Thank you God for allowing be able to sing this beautiful piece.
This is my favorite performance of this song to date. I sang the alto part in choir and this song always moves me. Bravo!!!
Whole heartedly agree!
I sang bass in choir.. This piece moves me also and this performance of it is absolutely beautiful... I love it....
Canto la parte de Soprano, pero me gustan todas... en nuestro Coro Municipal es de las obras más difíciles en repertorio... Tenemos muy buenos bajos...
English translation:
O great mystery,
and wonderful sacrament,
that animals should see the newborn Lord,
lying in a manger!
Blessed is the virgin whose womb
was worthy to bear
the Lord, Jesus Christ.
Alleluia!
listened to this for the nth time, still impressed by them, and still in awe for the alto's quality.
Wow, the alto! True to her own voice, fantastic when people do that!
And I too was privileged to sing the alto part. So rich and beautiful.
Simply mind blowing and deeply moving. I never thought I'd say this, but they are that good that they equal The Sixteen. One of the most beautiful things I have ever heard.
I am convinced this is the most beautiful piece of music ever composed.
Though the Victoria O Quam Gloriosum is also way up there
Yessss
I'm in agreement, but heeding @jamitch13 I would extend your comment to say that Victoria is the most brilliant polyphonic composer of all time. As each generation gets more stupid, the likelihood of any contemporary composer being a true peer of Victoria, Palestrina, Byrd, etc. is almost 0%. When the Catholic Church performed euthanasia on its own music and forced New Dawn Music down our bleeding ear canals in the 1970's the masters were kept alive at Tower Records, one aisle over from KISS and Black Sabbath.

without a doubt
I often play this and sometimes sing the bass part with the group. A magnificent performance!
Enen groot en wonderbaarlijk mysterie zoals dee vier geweldige zangers zingen. Ave Maria gratia plena!
This performance is so rich, so moving, and so flawlessly executed! What a joy to hear this magnificent, Godly music sung by such outstanding voices. Just heavenly!
The subtle interaction between these gifted singers is a joy to watch.
It must be amazing to be able to hear this exact performance in person.
Best interpretation ever. I also sing the beautiful alto line which is gorgious here. Thank you so much. 🙏
Fieri Consort... You are absolutely of the highest quality.. BeeejIsHere.. thanks so much for having published this jewel. Every voice is great and the voices blend wonderfully..
Tge group singing this are Fieri Consort was founded in 2012. Fieri Consort is one of the UK’s most exciting vocal groups, offering a unique blend of technical precision and theatrical innovation.
Performing without a conductor, Fieri presents innovative and engaging programmes, and specialises in the rich and varied tradition of 16th and 17th century Italian repertoire. Performing a cappella, accompanied by early instruments, with guests and even with members of their audiences, Fieri’s interpretations are informed by the collective experience and knowledge of the group.
Their voices blend beautifully and their sound is exquisite, but they go beyond that… they also understand the subtle nuances of text-based phrasing that so well suits the renaissance repertoire they sing.

Lovely singing.
Gracias por tu comentario
Brings me back to my Madrigal days. Simply gorgeous vocal talent is definitely represented here.
I also sang this song in the Madrigal choir at La Jolla High back in 1977. Such an incredible piece of music and they sing it so well!!!
I have no idea why but I burst out in tears hearing this performance. Most beautiful performance I have ever heard of this piece. (i guess that's why...)
Of COURSE you did. The work itself is utterly magnificent, and the performance done with innocence that is completely missing from today's version of what passes for music. All four singers subordinated themselves to to the music and allowed the piece to celebrate the work (and, of course, the words) and the art of the composer. How can you not be in tears?
I sang this once many years ago and it still gives me chills every time. A piece that truly showcases the beauty of music and the human voice.
music, harmony.. that's why
I can't control myself every time I listen I'm brought to tears
Cos ure old
Maravillosa ejecución. Delicadas y sutiles las voces. Maravilloso T. L. de Víctoria, el más grande compositor del Renacimiento. Nació en Ávila, donde yo nací.
Victoria fue grandioso, pero Palestrina también lo fue. No seamos privincianos.
Victoria is better than Palestrina, no doubt. But Palestrina is more famous.
No sé trata de discutir quién es mejor, pero si los ingleses, que por regla general desprecian la cultura española, están "enamorados" de Tomás Luis de Victoria, por algo será.
Son maravillosos los dos, Palestrina y Victoria.
@@josemanuelherrera5708 y quién dijo q los ingleses tienen la marca sobre el gusto musical...?
We did this my junior year. I was the tenor. Prettiest part I've ever sung.
bello, bello. esta cancion la solia cantar en el coro universitario de la ciudad de la plata , argentina !!!! nunca la olvidare y siempre me acompaña !!! sublime ....... beautiful, absolutly, i used to sing this song, at the universitary chours of La Plata city, in Argentina !!! unforgetagle, wath you feel, when you are singing that !!! really a peaceful and sublime theme !!!!
damn that tenor
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
They sound like a refined instrument-singing as one yet each their own part. Perfect harmony! A breath of fresh air. Thank you!!!❤
One of the moments I am thankful I am not a barbarian. And can appreciate sacred art polyphony.
The alto is quite impressive
This piece, worked with just four voices . . . as close to divine perfection as humanity has yet come! Bravo!
Merveilleux, les voix prennent leur place au fur et à mesure. Elles s’imposent puis s’effacent.
Gorgeous performance! Very rich blend of voices, clear proninciation and volume. True art with great heart. Best performance I've heard in 70+ years. God bless Luis De Victoria and all of us.
From South Africa. A powerful quartet. The depth and power of these voices is remarkable. Marvelous
Clean, harmonically so sweet, just wish we could have the bass closer to the mic!
Semplicemente splendidi!!! Una gioia, una beatitudine ascoltarli! Bravi, bravissimi, eccezionali!
Only four voices, but they definitely hold this piece together, right up to the end! Bravo!
absolutely beautiful. I sang this in my high school choir in the 1980s and was lucky enough to sing this version a cappella in St. Mark's cathedral in Venice. Thank you for sharing. Brings back wonderful memories.
... and wonderful alto voice Helen Charlston 🌷🌸
Impresionante versión de esta impresionante música.
They are so in touch with each other!
Mar....precioso!Tu sonrisa. Te quiero
Absolutely amazing! Phenomenal! It highlights the text: the birth of the Savior was the most profound mystery ever known.
When I hear this beautiful hymn, and sung by this beautiful quartet, I imagine that theyre singing this on the choir loft of a Cathedral during a Corpus Christi Exposition and Benediction. Especially when they start singing the, " Alleluia" part, I envision the priests lifting the Blessed Sacrament+ amidst the ringing of bells and clouds of incense and the hushed faithful.
My first Choir in DC 1973.
The Director chose this by Victoria ~
This has to be the most profound harmonic melody ever.
I fell in Love!
Later, I found an LP compilation of this one song, by different Directors from different Centuries 💞
I lost that LP some time later in my life.
I really want to find thay LP again.
Yes, This Alto is tremendously strong!
Merry Happy Christlas to All ✌🏾🌍🌎🌏💞✌🏾
So sublime that I have to hear it every day. You have all produced an immortal work of art, and given the living God to us who labor in the shadows, hoping for a glimpse of Heaven.
Wonderful! Amazing voices, breathtaking soprano!
I got to public school and we sang this for competition this music is not dead
What kind of humans did not like this masterpiece???
I cannot stop listening to it.

@@joekuefler8711 Tomas Tomkins was a very good polyphonic composer as well. I'm thinking of his When David Heard, especially by the Gesualdo Six.
I cry every time I hear and sing this piece. This is the first thing that I would show extraterrestrial life
This is superb. I keep listening & listening to it.
This slaps so hard.
Beautiful music. I remember performing this with the chorale I was in college. This performance was a ray of hope, comfort, and enlightenment during the lockdown. Wonderful performance by outstanding musicians.
Learned the bass/baritone part in High School choir in 1963. Remembered nearly all of it. After hearing this splendid group twice, remembered it all. The alto, Helen Charlson, is spectacular.
Goodness, I wish I could have heard this live! The harmony gives me a massive grin and goosebumps at the same time! Wonderfully performed, well done and a massive thank you!
The beauty and religeous depth of Victoria`s music is always a great mystery of music for me.
God bless you for this magnificent interpretation !!
Incredible performance. I sang this in Central College (Pella, Iowa) choir back in 1981. I can still remember it all. The alto is mesmerizing. They are all great!
It is really encouraging that young people are into this kind of music: makes me hope for a better future!
When the present bears no explanation, look to the past, our forefathers had more wisdom then we give them credit, and what they contributed was all in the name of ensuring the future, we should look back to them; learn from their, as well as our experiences, the good and the bad. Use them as a template to ensure the future of our descendents, as they will do for theirs and so on.
Where have u been the pacific ocean?
Wonderfull music singed by a great quartet! We are very impressed by this interpretation especially by the incredibly tender performance and sound! We listened to this an year ago as today too with a great pleasure and we are looking forward to hear more music from you in the future!
I would just close my eyes and I'd see myself witnessing a Corpus Christi Benediction and Procession in some Cathedral. And when the solemn notes and lyrics of this blessed Latin hymn comes full, especially with the Alleluia part, I could just see the priests in gold and white humeral habits, raising the Blessed Sacrament+ amidst clouds of sweet smelling incense and bells, bells, bells from Sanctus Bells right to the heavy plenum of the Belfry, while the hushed faithful murmur their prayers in the midst of the candles the incense and the Latin Benedictions.
When the Catholic Church performed euthanasia on its own music and forced New Dawn Music down our bleeding ear canals in the 1970's the masters were kept alive at Tower Records, one aisle over from KISS and Black Sabbath. And now the masters are kept alive on TH-cam.

Extraordinary voice all 4 members!
Congratulations 👏!
Agreed. Excellent alto. All wonderful singers. Older I get the more Victoria impressed me and this performance keeps doing it.
かく声部を一人の歌手が歌う構成の合唱なので、ポリフォニーの動きがとてもよく聞き取れます。ビクトリアの音楽の美しさは、何度聞いても、私にとって音楽の大いなる神秘です、
WOW! Beautiful recording. Well done all!
Perfection!!! After more than 20 years, this song still makes me cry every time I sing it or listen to it :D Bravooo!
Wow. These singers have beautiful voices and disciplined singing. Excellent
Nicely done. This piece is harder to hold together with a quartet than anyone expects.
Great Music. Great Singing.
Beautiful. What a great mystery - the infinite Son of God dwelling in human flesh, to forgive and restore our corrupt race. Even the stable of a comment section gets to hear of the joyful mystery. If you think the music is beautiful, wait until you hear why Christians sing it. Merry Christmas!
ALSO: wtg to the musicians for amazing BREATH CONTROL. This piece doesn't give a lot of space to breathe unless you're precise, so without anyone else to back up your part, it's impressive that they kept such a consistent tone throughout.
Hermoso tu comentario... Gracias!!!
Magnifique 👏👏🙏🙏💒💒
Je découvre ce chant qui vient rejoindre le Miserere d'Allegri au panthéon du chant sacré
最近、この曲を練習しています。
皆さんとても綺麗な歌声で、いつも参考にさせていただいています。
素敵な動画をありがとうございました。
So beautiful..... thank you for this!
Yo estoy en un coro donde cantamos esto es una obra magnífica. El coro en cuestión es el polifónico de la ciudad de Rosario Argentina
hey vivo en rosario y estoy de organista en maria auxiliadora
Très beau travail de restitution d'une œuvre à la polyphonie périlleuse !
beautiful Fieri Consort! 👏👏✨
The Alto is just OUTSTANDING!!!
Remarkable voices, most excellent ! !
I love everyones' voices, ... in particular the bass is gold! Thank You!

IfOutstanding! This is such an exposed way to do this piece, one on a part, yet how delicate and with the color shadings of stained glass in early light as the imitations are passed along. Victoria is the most expressive setter of texts in that period, I believe, and the purity of everything here, from vocal color to intonation to fine dynamic balance, all serve this gorgeous little reflection on the wonder of humble animals at the birth of Jesus.
I came looking for a new performance of this favorite that I had not yet heard, as part of my Christmas season. How wonderful to find this! A joyous and peaceful Christmas to all.
That alto singing the low G at 0:34 so powerfully is really amazing
Was that G3?
@@snadashkevich3700 yup
Grande Tomás Luis de Victoria.
Oooooooo magnum mysterium… such a clean and clear intonation. So beautiful!
Sensacional, cada voz soa como um ingrediente em culinária que combinam (e muito bem) uns com outros. Quem são, de onde são e como ouvir mais deste quarteto?
Thank you Kieran for your words of gospel,so precious,so enlightening. Thank you too for the splendour of the music of magnificat. Patricia
