TEXT
'A Prayer' by Alfred Noyes
Angels, where you soar
Up to God’s own light,
Take my own lost bird
On your hearts tonight;
And as grief once more
Mounts to heaven and sings,
Let my love be heard
Whispering in your wings.
The best accapella choir in the 🌎 ❤❤
In the green, blue, heart, heart? Of course.
No language on earth has the words to do your talents justice.
Exact my opinion.
I get what you mean but saying that their decades of experience is simply "talent" rather than incredible skill is a bit degrading.
@@LoyisOne can appreciate that there may be some who have talent and are able to sing like this without
having to work hard to make such a beautiful sound. Others who have a little bit less natural talent, but the desire to make something that sounds like they are naturally talented are just a few of the reasons why I love these types of songs. 🙏🏻✨🕊️
Simplemente maravillosos como siempre.Son UNICOS.
Amen to that
The echo (with overtones) of that exquisite chord at 4:00. Wow.
I've NEVER heard this piece done so masterfully, I'm shaking.....
I’m not religious or connected to anything spiritual, but pieces and performances like these make me feel connected to something beyond humanity. Music is transcendent and I am truly grateful I get to hear this choir any time I want
So why are you saying that you're not spiritual??
Sublime music, the sounds of birds, sunlight, the kindness of people, animals, the sound of rain, scripture, the waves of the ocean, and hugs are some of the ways that I feel connected. Anything connecting falls into the "spiritual" category for me but music might be the most powerful of all.
@@ulrikeruster1825I said this because I had never felt any sort of spirituality before, it eluded me. Obviously things have changed since
Ask God to show Himself to you…He will! Your future after this life depends on it!
Part of the equation is that they are using the human voice, the instrument in which the Lord God created Himself!
Je suis aux anges en vous écoutant, grand MERCI pour vos belles vibrations célestes 🙏🙏🙏
I have listened to this every day since it's been uploaded. I recently lost both of my cats. They were my life, and I miss them so much. This prayer helps me speak to them. I thank the creator for the time I knew them.
Condolences
❤
I had to give my cats away recently when I moved and I still feel my heart break every day. I feel your pain, friend. Hope things are getting a little better and easier for you every day.
I'm sure you guys looked into the background of this song before performing, but it makes it even more beautiful. Jake composed this after members of his choir were killed in the 2015 Paris terror attacks. The choir learned it within a week to perform it at the funeral of the deceased
That’s not necessarily true. According to his website the work was performed at the vigil of a singer who died in the Paris attack, it was not specifically composed for that.
Not necessarily correct. It was composed about a year before that -- my choir at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota, USA was probably the fourth or fifth to perform it. It gained new life after the Paris attacks in November 2015, and one of the casualties was a student in the US. That university's choir recorded and learned that piece and that's where its main recognition comes from
This is so incredibly beautiful. Eight voices in what I would call a celestial blend.
Unbelievable. Only 8 voices? Sounds like 80 super-duper angels, more or less.
This fan is starting to breathe again now, ever so slowly.
❤
Truly God is a consoling savior as he gives a bit of earth’s sublime beauty in this music , lyrics , voices as expressed in this prayer. I can hear the ascent of my prayer to heaven . Thank you! Sublime!!!
This recording is breathtaking, but hearing the piece live last night was a whole different level. A completely otherworldly experience. 🤯
Angels, where you soar
Up to God’s own light
Take my own lost bird
On your hearts tonight;
And as grief once more
Mounts to heaven and sings
Let my love be heard
Whispering in your wings
🙏🏻❤️🌟
hearing that second alto ring was INCREDIBLE. beautifully pure tones and harmony.
Don McLean almost chocked on that final note, but this man? Ahh, like an empty soothing breeze, effortlessly. Wonderfully done, this arrangement does justice to the emotional impact of this song. Beautifully done.
Restrained yet transcendent. Love this group.
Met Jake and also sung this in college some years back. Thank you for breathing more life into this song by bringing all of the emotion forward with your beautiful voices!
A friend died on Friday and i couldn't figure out my emotions yet. This really helped. Thank you ❤
Oh no! My sympathies to you, I know what it is like.
Music is such a great way to express our feelings. Fill your life with beautiful music, if you can sing join a choir because singing brings healing. God bless you and be with you at this sad time ❤
Love to you, friend. ❤
I was at their concert in Dallas Texas on Friday and got to hear this sung in a live performance. Absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your incredible talents
Having performed this, I’ve heard many many performances of this piece. This , by far, the best.
Just came back from Voces8 concert in Ostrava, Czechia. This piece was for me definitely the highlight of the evening.
I didn’t realize I could hold my breath for five minutes. My chills have chills. Thank you ❤
OMDs😊 This is like being embraced by the love of one’s life. Gorgeous, lingering vowel sounds, beautiful harmonies inc’ suspensions. Sensitively paced and not OTT. Wonderfully climactic male voices on ‘heard’ before everyone drifts off into the afterglow. Thanks for sharing
what's "OTT" mean?
@@stephenweigel over the top ie too sentimental. You’re welcome.
Perfect way to end my evening...... beautiful rendition.... ❤❤❤
The rapturous joy this stirred in my soul is a gift.
Это одна из моих любимых хоровых песен, с ней связано много хороших воспоминаний.
С осени 2018 по весну 2022 я пела в хоре Polifonica, пока вынужденно не уехала из Беларуси. В нашем огромном репертуаре была эта прекрасная песня, мы её часто исполняли на своих концертах.
Каждый раз, когда я пела с хором Let's my love be heard, у меня были мурашки по коже. Скучаю по тем временам и по хору Polifonica. Для меня было большой честью быть частью этого прекрасного коллектива и вместе с ними участвовать в международных конкурсах и фестивалях.
Saw them at the Albert Hall today - they rocked.
Lucky you! I think I'd cry through at least half their concert, they often have that effect on me.
Simply magnificent. Music that makes me be still.
good line!
This is stunningly beautiful. Your sound, so heavenly. Thanks to the composer and Voces8 for your performance❤
It is my dream to hear them live. They are the best choir in the world.
Are you in the US? I so highly recommend it if you can. I’ve hear them twice, once in 2018 in Knoxville and this past spring in Atlanta. I’d like to go every spring if I can during their US tour. Its SO worth it; even if you have to drive hours to see them. They are the best vocal ensemble of our lifetime, indeed!
@@RoddyAltI think they are the best of a few lifetimes, and you have seen them twice! I live in Ontario; if they were to come close to the border in New York, like Buffalo, or perhaps in Michigan or Pennsylvania I might be able to get there.
@@RoddyAltI got tickets for December in London Ontario. I’ve been waiting to see them for years. I am beyond excited.
@@GothicGourdGirl That is most excellent news! I am very happy for you. I shall be on standby for the next chance to see them here in the US Southeast!
@@RoddyAltI got excellent seats, too! Going with my teenage son. Just the two of us. He has no real musical knowledge (I tried to teach him multiple instruments) but he feels it so he’s interested now, as a teen.
They go to Germany an awful lot. Have you noticed? Concerts in US North and Southwest, but I haven’t seen any in the east yet.
What a great paradox: calmness, quietness, and all with such incredible power. Thanks god for having you! All the best from Germany
Being so familiar with this piece and the singers, and being able to tell who is singing what during the climax of the piece was so moving to me. All I could say after they finished that was "wow". Simply amazing and beautiful as always. Few groups can achieve the level of talent and mastery that Voces8 does and it brings all of my chamber memories back from college ❤
This is the most beautiful rendition you’ve ever recorded of this magnificent work! The first time I heard it years ago I was driving and had to pull the car over to the side of the road. I couldn’t control my tears. You all are perfection. Thank you!
One of the most beautiful songs in the world sung by my favorite group! Thank you for so much beauty Voces 8!
Getting to hear this piece and several others live was truly a bucket list experience. I am beyond grateful that this group exists, and listening to their transcendent sound takes me to another place every time
The first time I heard this song was at a Voces8 performance. It was the highlight of the concert for me.
Absolutley Adore Voce8. Thank you for another Masterpiece. You are all very special to me x
This song--and your performances of it--are a prayer. So beautiful!! Thank you!!!
Gosh - that was SO powerful and moving - a really incredible performance. Well done to you all.
Forgive the language, but amidst all the darkness, suffering and chaos, this skilled performance is a balm. Bravo!
Thank you, not just for the gift of sharing your unapproachable talent, but also for the organization you've created to ensure that the world can continue to enjoy this highest of art forms long after we have passed on.
Wow! That climax is amazing!!! And I love the lyrics and arrangement. Gorgeous.
What a magnificent sound these singers make! Hard to believe there are only 8 of them!
All of you are always fabulous, and I didn't think you could surpass that. But you did with this. No words to describe. It's beyond beautiful. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks Jake and Voces 8. Truly a moving and timeless 'in memorium' performance of a beautiful work
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This performance was exquisite, beautifully emotive, and gripping. The forte at the end was striking and powerful.
Thank you for your expert vocal performance!
Been waiting for y’all’s rendition since 2018; didn’t expect it to be my favorite of yours ever💜🚀
This is a great piece for them. Full of long sustained chords, and no ensemble listens better than voces8. Excellent piece, BTW.
This is making me cry for the beauty!
Grazie..magnifico.. insieme musicalmente straordinario..
Every song they sing is priceless!!!!
Bravo, bravo, bravo!!!!
The first time I had the truly immense pleasure of hearing you all perform live was your concert at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee in October of 2021. You all performed "Let My Love Be Heard" as the final piece in a set of 3 works (which opened with Heyr, himna smiður) and after a seemingly perfect amount of silence following the final release, a gentleman on the balcony proclaimed one word -
"yes"
How simple and perfect his response was.
Thanks for all you do Voces8, I look forward to hearing you perform this in person again soon.
What a wonderful story!
Himmlische Klänge. Ich habe sie bereits live erlebt. Danke für diese wunderbare Interpretation.
We are doing this year in choir and it always floats my soul to peace and reminds me there in peace in loss, even the ones still to come.
Bravissimi! Voci angeliche che arrivano dai margini dell'universo.Grazie ❤
One of those pieces that I’ve just been waiting for Voces8 to record. Beautiful.
Thank you for giving me a moment of beauty in this Madhatter world that is spinning faster and faster!
I have tried but I can not do anything for the now living, they will be prisoners of easy access "elevator music" and choked to death by "progression" , "estimated profit" and "I must do what all others do, otherwise I am freak...".
You are among the last... Because of us born in a different era, with different values, we who had the time and pleasure of LISTENING to music!
There will be a mainstream disaster when we die... (we wouldnt know as dead, but we who love music care about you!)
As a twenty-something fellow, in some strange way I quite understand your thoughts as expressed. But there are tiny shafts of light piercing the dark - not everyone of the latest generation rejects the beauty and grandeur of the best music.
They are SO emotive and in-tune! Just as they were years ago!!! WOW!!!
J'apprécie énormément ces vrais Voces 8 , c'est le naturellement beau .....♥♥🕊🕊🌹🌹
I’m part of the Germantown high school a cappella group called Legacy, we sung this last year, watching this video reminds me of the wonderful things I got to do with the group, this was absolutely beautiful and I feel privileged to listen to it again
Such beauty and such comfort, echoing out to the edge of the universe and beyond. Thank you.❤🔥
Mesmerizing, per usual…one of the best modern pieces out there. Stellenbosch does a captivating interpretation of this as well.
Pienso que el ingeniero de grabación tiene tanto mérito como este maravilloso ensamble.
The acoustic is magic with this piece. Your voices blend in the most perfect organesque fashion; literally intoxicating to hear.
we sang this song for our hs concert and in St. John the Divine Cathedral in NYC. It was so magical
You are my source of inspiration every day, thank you very much for your work! ❤❤❤
Incredibly beautiful singing by all eight angels ❤
Obrigada por isso! Um abraço do Brasil 🇧🇷!
I have loved and followed this group for some time now, have several of your CDs, watched your performances online and have never been disappointed...your music and musicianship is divine...I have many of your tracks on a loop so I am able to listen over and over again. On the rare occasion I get to the Northern hemisphere and London I hope and hope and hope you'll be performing...no luck so far. Consider more tours of the Antipodes
This is so beautifully sung and it amazes me that it’s memorized. That all of the notes and expression marks fit so seamlessly.
The words and music are so heartbreakingly beautiful!
This took my breath away! Kudos to Jake and the choir!
Whoosh! Thank you.
Listening tonight on 9/11 - Masterpiece. I think your best work yet.
A superb performance of an exceptional song. Thank you!
I am living for how Blake absolutely nails that note. Inspiring
Music began with the human voice and to this day that's all you need to make sonic magic.
È sempre un privilegio ascoltarvi!!
Wow this is stunning!! Everything is so perfect!! I always love this piece, and thank you for giving us this absolutely beautiful version!!
No words are there to describe such perfection. You guys are amazing. I would pay anything to go to one of your concerts.
Божественно..Божественно..Спасибо..
Wonderful!!❤ looking forward to seeing you all on October 20 in DC!
I am watching again on the eve of our election in the US. This song is so beautiful and you guys sing it like angels. Thank you so much for your music. ❤
Ah yes… finally one of my favourite 🥹 Thank you
A beautiful rendition by you all ❤❤perfect for enjoying my evening ❤❤
Best Ensemble❤
Like a summer dream on the night 😍
This is so beautiful I am speechless. 🙏🙏🙏
Just lovely. Thanks
A new beauty!
Дуже дякую! Молодці!
Sooo schön - ein Traum ❤
すばらしい🙏ありがとう
This is what I needed today! Great job!
I have no words!!!❤
I would give my right arm to be able to sing like any of you guys.
Heavenly.....WOW 🙌🏾
Stunning, as always.
God uses you all to heal me. I cannot thank you enough. God bless you.
The sound is ethereal like what you would imagine entering heaven would be. The resonance of the room is a double edged sword...The reverb is amazing but it also muddles the words making it hard to get the actual words at times. Very impressive just the same.
Beautiful!!!
Just exquisite!!
