paper kay - talent, maybe, but singing like this (read: “genuine singing”) takes much training, disciplined practice, and years of high level experience.
@paper kay, on youtube, insta or any plattforms you will often find perfect moments, filmed many times and cutted perfectly. but its hard work (filming and performing)! this group exists for 15 years, so they had a long way with performances and training and studying music and singing.
singing is legit a fitness thing! a lot of it comes down to having enough air so you're never struggling, which means you need good lung capacity and good breathing technique. I even have to watch when I eat, so that my stomach isn't too full or too empty, otherwise my lungs don't expand as far! (I'm not a professional or anything lol, just studied a little bit of music + in a student choir)
Heaven probably sounds more Middle Eastern, considering Christianity is a Middle Eastern, Semitic religion, despite Catholicism's heavy European pagan influence.
The moment they sang their first note, I was completely enchanted at how incredible, almost angelic, their vocals are... never have I imagined that it is possible to be controlling ones vocals like that... I ended up listening 3 more times... great job ladies... wishing you all the best from Singapore...!
Same. Having listened to a lot of choral music over the years and sung in a few groups myself, I've come to appreciate how there is an additional dimension to a vocal group which is not just talent, practice and skill, but the selection and matching of the members' voices to each other. You can have two people with amazing, brilliant voices, incredible talent and skill, and vast experience, but their tones might just not match. This group is exception not only for their performance but for how well they've matched their voices.
It's so heartbreaking to listen to good pieces on TH-cam sound bad, so coming across this was amazing. I felt close to as moved as I could have been live. Thank you!
anything written by ola gjeilo is so amazing. i had the amazing opportunity to sing at carnegie hall with ola gjeilo and it was just such a surreal experience.
Isabella Lupescu i am going to a choral festival in prague in july 2021(postponed a year)and the sunrise mass by him is being performed. we will be performing rutters mass of the children though
Es ist zum weinen schön. Und jedesmal, wenn ich es höre denke ich, es sind Sphärenklänge...... Wunderbar arrangiert, mit hochprofessionellen Sängerinnen!! Danke dafür!! ❤️
OMG the dissonance at at 2:09 and the silence and the entrance at 2:19. Just makes my heart sing. The rests are oft neglected, but you did a beautiful job.
This part 1:03 - 1:30 gives be the chills every single time. That harmony (or however it is called) between the soprano and low alto is so beautiful. It is as if the coolest gothic cathedral was transformed into a human voice.
Thank you for showing actual facial expressions! =D Too many ensembles sing beautifully but then look dead inside and that subtracts from their performance. Also, well done on this beautiful piece - you really did it justice.
It feels that I spent my entire day listening to that music and I still have to go back to it. This is so amazingly performed. It has been a long time since I didn't hear such a marvelous, honest and touching performance.
I just got back from a tour with the Norwegian Ladies Chorus (Sons of Norway Leif Erickson Lodge). The beauty of a capella singing like this is being able to tune each chord to perfection. Hearing this when we sang, and when our host choruses sang, was a heartbreakingly beautiful experience! We sang Ole Gjeilo’s ‘Seasons’, just amazing!
This is the best version I've heard. That suspension between 0:52 and 1:03 has me tearing up everytime!!! Vielen vielen dank Mädels, außerordentlich gut gesungen!!!!
Exquisite. Close to perfection. They seem to have complete telepathy with each other. The soprano entry on "pulchra es' at 3:29, the most beautiful pianissimo. Words fail.
In this crazy world we are living in there are just a few things left that can still make you proud for being human.. This is one of them! Thanks for upload.
Einfach nur wow. Danke an Marie und Viola, durch euch hab ich sjaella kennen gelernt und hab meine Liebe zu den Stücken von Ola Gjeilo entdeckt! Ihr klingt so unfassbar gut! Es braucht keinen großen Chor wenn jede Stimme einzeln sorein und klar ist und sich mit den anderen so harmonisch verbindet!
I am from Iran and this song has been one of my favorites for years. It's not earthly, it's divine. I want to immagine these transcendental voices would one day sing the hymn of freedom of Iran.
I support a charity which helps people to worship free from persecution, including those who have had to flee from Iran. Whatever your faith, may God bless you and bring freedom to your country.
Erhabenheit ist ein Wort, das in der heutigen Umgangssprache offensichtlich nicht so oft verwendet wird. Aber hier passt es perfekt. Die Schönheit dieses Stücks, die Perfektion der Darbietung, die Schlichtheit des Ambientes, all das fügt sich zu einem erhabenen Ganzen zusammen. Danke, ich bin tief berührt.
Merci à Sjaella de nous offrir une aussi subime interprétation (la meilleure à mon goût !) de cette pièce magnifique ! Cette douceur ! Et quelle présence ! L'âme est touchée, elle se met à danser en dedans. Tout est dit. Je l'écoute en boucle...
The way your voices harmonize should be illegal, it's too beautiful!! I can't get enough of 1:05, the contrast between the highest and the lowest parts is too majestic. Also altos, your low notes make me cry every time, I'll never be able to sing this wonderfully ;D
Immer wieder und wieder muss ich dieses bezaubernde magische Stück hören. Es ist wie für euch geschrieben oder als hättet ihr es selbst für euch geschrieben. Jedes Mal bin ich wieder von jedem Ton hingerissen und staune und träume. Perfektion und Schönheit. Danke für dieses Geschenk an die Welt.
As mentioned earlier in a post- That dissonant drop in the chord between 2:02 and 2:10- It just pauses time in the most beautiful way- That is precisely where my heart lives. I haven't heard that part pronounced quite like that by any other artists. Wonderful!
Wow, I'm just crying my eyes out here. It went straight into my heart. I've known and loved this piece for a few years now, but this performance is absolutely beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful one I've heard.
This amazes me on so many levels. Just how beautiful their voices work together - each and every one pronounced and strong, but so gentle at the same time and interwoven. Sometimes i hear clerically inspired pieces like this where even a soft sopran comes through so much stronger and everything else gets toned down to very pleasant noise. The clarity is beautiful and I enjoyed looking at the expressions of the singers. Thank you for this video and sharing such a beautiful version of the song.
The curtains separating earth from heaven open just a bit. A beam of pure light shines through, confirming that there is a marvelous reality beyond this realm.
Mehr davon! Bitte! Diese Harmonien! Wie viel Übung das braucht! Und solche Engelsstimmen! Ich habe es jetzt bestimmt 10 mal + gehört und erfreue mich immer aufs neueste daran.
They’re all so crucial to delivering this song so beautifully. But the last two holding that note and switching off without the note dying is on another level! Do they do concerts because shut up and take my money! 😅
It's spooky how some people can sing. I can't even talk well, or even whistle. Like they have a whole extra set of lungs or something. It's magical.
paper kay - talent, maybe, but singing like this (read: “genuine singing”) takes much training, disciplined practice, and years of high level experience.
Its just breathtaking isnt it ,no instruments or anything just voices
That makes me feel good. Thank you.

that alto in white is really dropping it there :O amazing
Julian Hombrebueno what is her name????? :’(
@@zuzannapiotrowska9647 Helene Erben
@@stevenbauers51 is it the one in white?
Isn't the one in white the other soprano? Seems like sopranos are on the outermost edges.
Aldebaran I believe from left to right is soprano to alto
if this isn't what heaven sounds like i'm going to be so disappointed
It has to be better
Yes, it would be even better
Heaven probably sounds more Middle Eastern, considering Christianity is a Middle Eastern, Semitic religion, despite Catholicism's heavy European pagan influence.
@@sayckeone cool cool, middle eastern music is good too
I wonder is God a soprano or alto?
Holy cow!!! That alto 2 voice!!!!
She get the Low but brightly

Wunderbar arrangiert, mit hochprofessionellen Sängerinnen!!
Danke dafür!! ❤️
The woman singing the tenor note, has my heart and soul.
A reminder, that beautiful things exist, despite the efforts of some to pretend otherwise.
Anyone else had tears rolling in the first opening line? 😭.. so beautiful and peaceful 💯💙🔥🙏
Si beau!
Now that is the pinnacle of twenty million years of evolution! The most versatile musical instrument ever. Beautiful. Thank you
The first time I listen the SSAA version, it's so amazing.
OMG the dissonance at at 2:09 and the silence and the entrance at 2:19. Just makes my heart sing. The rests are oft neglected, but you did a beautiful job.
YES!
it just sounds like a ringing in the ears! the animosity! make it STOP! DX
This reminded me of Narnia, such beautiful voices.
It reminded me of lord of the rings fir similar reasons 💓🤗
This part 1:03 - 1:30 gives be the chills every single time. That harmony (or however it is called) between the soprano and low alto is so beautiful. It is as if the coolest gothic cathedral was transformed into a human voice.
I wish I could give this video 1 million likes
every singer is killing it but the alto had me shivering

Northern Lights. My greatest discovery on TH-cam since Voces8. This is a Treat.
Those empty seats... I wish I was sitting in one of those to watch this performance live...
And each phrase a gentle shiver down my spine. I guess happiness feels like that. Thank you.
Ola Gjeilo must be so proud...
2:07 That harmony. I cried. 2:19 That perfect timing and jump of key, found by all of them to perfection. I sobbed.
I loved that the soprano & the alto is singing the same here 1:04
The Alto in white sounds amazing!
Alto pride!!
This is the best version I've heard. That suspension between 0:52 and 1:03 has me tearing up everytime!!! Vielen vielen dank Mädels, außerordentlich gut gesungen!!!!
Exquisite. Close to perfection. They seem to have complete telepathy with each other. The soprano entry on "pulchra es' at 3:29, the most beautiful pianissimo. Words fail.
The final few measure with the sustained "pedal tone" as the outside voices come back in are absolutely chilling!
In this crazy world we are living in there are just a few things left that can still make you proud for being human.. This is one of them! Thanks for upload.
I love how they are so confident in their parts that they can stand in mixed formation. It's heavenly and it's so moving for sure.

I felt like I was transported to Heaven. My very core remembered the God I forgot in the noise. Amen.
Para mí, la música es la prueba de que la eternidad existe.
Gracias por esta preciosa versión.
All credit to these performers for such a heavenly sound, but also to the architect of that church - what amazing accoustics!
De belles voix comme celles-là avec une telle pureté et une si grande musicalité, c'est rare !
Voix d'anges qui émerveillent mes oreilles !

What a great performance. Not only in terms of musicianship - which was brilliant - but their technique is phenonemal.
Thsi is so well done! They make it seem so effortless but this piece is so hard breathing-wise!
i clicked on this by accident but i am very glad i did so
Это лучшее исполнение ❤
Благодарю ❤
Fantastisches Werk und große Gesangskunst
And the search for better headphones begins after this masterpiece!
Très belle interprétation de ce magnifique morceau qui nous vient de Norvège !
Wunderbare Musik und wunderbare Fruen!
Wow, I'm just crying my eyes out here. It went straight into my heart. I've known and loved this piece for a few years now, but this performance is absolutely beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful one I've heard.

So perfectly timed and blended. An endless sea of sound. Thank you for this beautiful performance. You guys are amazing!
I have had the pleasure of singing this beautiful song in 2016... wonderful to Remember it ! 😻
Thank you for sharing this recording with us publicly!
What a treasure!
Ich weiß nicht, wie oft ich mir das Video schon angeschaut habe - ich bekomme immer wieder Gänsehaut!
No pude dejar de sonreír mientras escuchaba el vídeo. Simplemente me sentía muy feliz, no sé cómo explicarlo.

god, that high note at 2:00 almost brought me to tears. I love listening to this group sing so, so much
never seen such beautiful voices😇 I've listened to this for so many times!!!!!
I've just fallen in love!!! Sublime and beautiful. Greetings from Venezuela.
Thank you TH-cam for bring me here, to hear angels voices. Deeply soothing and peaceful. Greetings from Brazil.
What a magnificent performance!
Absoutely great!
Coś pięknego 💕 Wzruszyłam się. 😘
Utterly ethereal... such a beautiful performance of this gorgeous music!
I am sitting here at work just in awe...i have never heard perfection before other than the cries of my daughters when they were born...amazing...
I will never get tired of this
This is my favorite video in the whole world
Still my favorite video in the whole world
🙃
Me too, or at least in top 5 ever, just sublime
Still coming back here daily :)
Now I watch it here and listen to it on Spotify
I'm only responsible for half of the views. I wish I could like this over and over and over again.
*That breathing, that breathing!!!!!* 🤯🤯🤯😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍♥️

This is the definition of perfection. It is just so beautiful. I can not stop listening to it! Amazing job ladies!
this is the best performance of this song to exist
The soprano and the alto has a perfect tone together when singing that unison part. Thanks, I love your rendition of this piece.
NO words Just tears of love
Oh my God, it's wonderful the voice of all of you, I'm in love, you have pure and delicate voice of angels. 💕💕💕💕💕
Wunderbar, eigenartig!
