@@RobertDPore Not quite. I checked all of the moments. 6:35 is not a lick at all, 9:57 is the lick with one note different, and 16:13 is only the first half of it.
@@williammuller5585 Yes and no. 6:35 (m156-158) and 9:57 are actually the exact same motive, albeit in different modes. The first example is just stretched out a bit. And as far as partial licks go, my understanding of lick-ology is that if it has the first five notes in that general shape, which all the examples do, it counts as a lick. If anything, we should make more allowances for this here, since classical development/transformation can routinely employ alterations and shortenings even more substantial than the ones seen here.
"I will be your refuge. I will be your refuge." I didn't expect, "We will be your refuge," and it really moved me. Indeed. That's what we used to be and must aspire to be again, instead of assuming we are no longer capable of that function, in our families, in our communities, in our nation, in the world.
I wanna just take a sec to appreciate how absolutely brilliant The Crossing is. Seriously might be the best choir in the world right now (at least for contemporary music.)
rarely does music give me goosebumps, but while i was performing this was my choir, i ended up with chills during the measures of rest between “ever ever will i hold you” and “in medio” in movement vi. i was shaking after the performance. i had friends come to me in tears because they felt so moved. gorgeous piece…
Haunting. Love the odd, colourful harmonic movement. Sometimes feels a little like something out of the Ars Nova in places, but wildly recontextualised.
Wow, I'm quite taken aback by this stunning work. The quotations of Buxtehude are stunning and work pretty well in context I think. It's quite a coincidence as I first heard a work by Shaw today in uni, and it was lovely, truly a breath of fresh air compared to most contemporary music. Thanks Cmaj7!
Last sunday meeting Carolina Shaw here in Winterthur with Zurich Chamber Singers with "To the hands" among other works. Wonderful! Absolutly striking the depths of beeing. Thank you so much for this music.
When they were calling out the numbers in Litany of the Displaced, it reminded me of the numbers being posted for COVID. I had to recheck when this written. It hit me hard. What a great piece of music.
Wow! I really didn't expect to see some uploads with sheets of Caroline Shaw! It's one of contemporary composers that I really deeply adore and which inspires me greatly. And now I know how posibly she notated words in her Partita for eight voices! xD Thank you greatly for this upload!
This is hauntingly beautiful and otherworldly. Some of the textures and repetitions almost seem to nod at Jocelyn Pook, whom I'd definitely recommend if you liked this.
@@Cmaj7 Hey Cmaj7, how do you make your videos? YT videos with scores and audio playing? I am so new and inept at all of this, I have an arrangement of Bach's BWV 552 that I want to post on YT and have no idea how to do that. Apologies for tagging onto another comment, I also didn't know how to comment at you directly. Thanks in advance!
They are numbers of displaced persons by country, hence the title "Litany of the Displaced." The link in the description has more information on the piece.
You should check out Buxtehude's Quid sunt plagae istae from his Membra Jesu Nostri cycle of cantatas. The second movement is an examanation of that piece. Enjoy: th-cam.com/video/nYJ4DXJEzaQ/w-d-xo.html
The piece is a "response" to Buxtehude's Ad manus from Membra Jesu Nostri ( th-cam.com/video/Qz2LVkjHy0Y/w-d-xo.html ). Ad manus is Latin for "To the Hands" The lick is the lick
performed this piece this semester. easily my least favorite piece I have ever had to sing, it was hard not to laugh during the later movements just because of how ridiculous it is.

Can't believe she snuck in the lick at 0:54 i was not expecting that at all. Can't wait to listen to the full piece.
Also appears at 6:35, 9:57, and 16:13. It's a primary motive of the piece!!
Love that the comments about the lick are the most liked ones

no fucking way I literally sang this song and didn't notice. probably cause i sang bass 2
Cmaj7 uploads Caroline Shaw? What a time to be alive.
0:54 lick
I KNEW IT!
OH LORD YES

Just when I thought the Renaissance ended a long time ago, here it is again. This is certainly an interesting new take on an old technology.

Thank you for this moving anecdote
Some Boulanger here and there, always exquisite ms. shaw. Gorgeous.
This is such powerful choral music for today's times. Thank you, Caroline Shaw!
Haunting. Love the odd, colourful harmonic movement. Sometimes feels a little like something out of the Ars Nova in places, but wildly recontextualised.
That fifth movement left me thoroughly disturbed. Beautiful, beautiful writing.

Um, excuse me, there’s a Caroline Shaw score video…? HELLS YES ❤️🍊🌱🌿
Gorgeous. Best chorale work (not strictly chorale, I know) I've heard in ages.
Last sunday meeting Carolina Shaw here in Winterthur with Zurich Chamber Singers with "To the hands" among other works. Wonderful! Absolutly striking the depths of beeing. Thank you so much for this music.
It's a liccing great composition!
finally this piece is gonna blow up…
Pleasurable enjoyment - thank you.
Pleasant surprise to see this today, I sung this with the UC Santa Barbara choir in 2019.
also licc at 0:52
sang in the tenor section for this piece. amazing. The in caverna section is some of the most powerful music

This is a great connection to make, thank you for this
Love the style of playing. Strings without vibrato are great. interesting textures. Sang mvt 3 last year, great experience.
Amazing work. I love this. Would love to see performed live some day

Stunningly beautiful!
Well now that is pretty impressive- The Choir singing that amazing piece is amazing.
This is hauntingly beautiful and otherworldly. Some of the textures and repetitions almost seem to nod at Jocelyn Pook, whom I'd definitely recommend if you liked this.
Wow. Thank you.
This is beautiful
First heard this piece a few years ago with the Cornell Chamber Singers - glad to see a score video!
Gorgeous piece! And fun for a choral singer to recognize a chord progression from the Allegri "Miserere".
Great music
Beautiful ….
16:14 Is it a reference to J. MacMillan's work?
i think about this piece at least once a day
Some Adams-esque gestures in here.
The first movement definitely reminds me of Harmonium with the nnnn
The third is strikingly Britten to me.
@@Cmaj7 yeah, she likes to use sometimes this nnnn trope in her other works!

I love your videos! Can you please do a video of Takashi Yoshimatsu's "The Age of Birds", Op. 25 please!
Très surprenant. Mais très agréable et intéressant.
Is there some significance to the numbers in the fifth part? Anyone know?

The stuff she does with open, exposed chords in the second movement had me like 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Geniale
Bravo
15:54
Why Latin text ? Caroline Shaw proud Pulitzer ! Is it a simple quotation?What lick at :54. not in score nor heard?
The piece is a "response" to Buxtehude's Ad manus from Membra Jesu Nostri ( th-cam.com/video/Qz2LVkjHy0Y/w-d-xo.html ). Ad manus is Latin for "To the Hands"
The lick is the lick
@@Cmaj7 ahhh this all makes so much sense now thank you!
Bello
It is not bad. But are you allowed to display the notes here? At least you should mention that you do not have any copyright.
I thought the Renaissance had passed? What's the point of this music.
performed this piece this semester. easily my least favorite piece I have ever had to sing, it was hard not to laugh during the later movements just because of how ridiculous it is.
Hard to take seriously with the inclusion of the lick
Why?
agreed
@@kurtisburtis Because the lick has become a stupid meme
still a beautiful piece
What is a lick?
I propose a formal ban on 21st century composition titles beginning with nonsensical prepositions.

The title is actually the translation of Ad Manus, Buxtehude's 17th century piece that inspired this one
