- VOCES8 sings 'Sicut Cervus’ by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina in the VOCES8 Centre in London.
TEXT (Psalm 42:1)
Sicut cervus desiderat ad fontes aquarum,
ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus.
TRANSLATION
As the hart panteth after the water brooks,
so panteth my soul after thee, O God. - บันเทิง

I don't think there is a vocal ensemble who can touch VOCES8. To everything they sing, they bring absolute perfection and sheer beauty.
Oui, ils sont excellents.
Connaissez-vous Phillipe Herreweghe ?
Il fait de la dentelle en musique chorale.
I totally agree
totally agree and will add that the rate at which they add to their repertoire is really impressive.

it's hard to imagine Palestrina not smiling.
Beautiful. Serene. Vintage Palestrina. Sung perfectly. Voices blended seamlessly. VOCES8 never ceases to amaze. Bravo!!
It's absolutely Heavenly!
"He who sings in prayer prays twice". (Padre Lisboa, Salesian - CDH, Ponte Nova-MG).
If my memory serves me right, and do correct me if I am wrong, this statement was likewise, once given by St Augustine of Hippo.
it would be nice if it were true, but it is not.
for the context of how and when even religious singing is NOT prayer acceptable to God see Isaiah chapter 1 verse 10 ff
and more explicitly, actually referring to "worship music" Amos 5: 22-24
and also look for the original derivation of the word cant - meaning hypocrisy
@@onceamusician5408
Isaiah beginning of chapter 1 is literally just talking about the corruption in the ancient city of Judah, it has nothing to do with singing.
Amos 5 is talking specifically about God's warning and calls for repentance towards the ancient Israel, which again, is not specific to singing and is just God saying even their singing will be ignored if the corruption persist.
Let me remind you, the entire book of Psalms by the old King David is literally prayer in music and lyrics. Let me also remind you the Mother of God, Mary herself burst in singing (The Magnificat) upon the Annunciation from the Angel Gabriel.
Context is key, not blind reading.
This is the first piece of choral music I learnt as part of an ensemble. It was 2007 and I sang Tenor I. This song introduced me to Palestrina and changed my life. Thank you Voces8 for reigniting one of the most magnificent and important time in my life. ❤️🙏🏾
May I ask what voice you are singing now, bro?
Me too in 1972
Not my very first, but one of the first where I really felt part of something bigger than classmates singing a song. I was singing bass 1 (Bari) in 1993
The blending is superb. No one overpowers another, and each voice comes out only when it takes a significant phrase in the piece.
Yes ! Very well said; I completely agree.
And no vibrato 👍
@@janeoosterhoff9269 yes, very rare !
I could listen to this for all eternity. By the grace of God I will.
I am a choir singer, rather used to be.
I bow to those 8 young people.
Never give up what you enjoy.
This work of Palestrina is absolutely beautiful sung, in tune and well phrased. Voces8 is probably the most perfect singer ensemble ever.
I’VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS ♥️
Same here!
This song is truly divine - Palestrina is a master and Sicut Cervus a masterpiece... All Glory to God forever!!!
Einfach nur wunderschön. Meine Freude an diesem Tag.
VOCES8 really captures the beauty of the High Renaissance in this piece! Palestrina's highly refined style is heard clearly.
Voces8 never cease to beguile with their technical mastery and sheer dedication to a historically informed performance. All the best for 2024!
The words are from Psalm 42: "As the hart longeth for flowing streams, so longeth my soul for thee...."
I had never listened to Palestrina if it were not for VOCES8, I swear. They have opened my eyes and my ears.
Absolutely stunning!❤❤❤❤ I have been trying to learn this piece and listening to your version has ,are a million times easier. God bless you
Voces8 will always do it right! None better, and I can't think of any equals, for that matter.
Maitrise parfaite .....Chacune et chacun de vous est la perfection , Merci de nous imprégner de ces notes mélodieuses par lesquelles nous attendons une nouvelle oeuvre qui jamais ne nous déçois , Merci à vous les Voves8 pour ces moments merveilleux à vous écouter...🌹🌹💖💖🎵🎵
Oberstes Niveau!
Äusserlich, technisch perfekt.
Wichtiger noch, es dringt tief ins Herz hinein...
Exquisite in both balance and tempo, allowing the voices to blend into a beautiful tapestry of sound. I have sung this many times (USA), but find most choirs here take too fast a tempo, and the beautiful interweaving of the parts is lost. Yours is just right. Thanks.
A perfect performance of one of my favorite anthems to hear or sing. Thank you.
I wish I could click like again every time I come back and listen to this.
Einzigartig schön! Besser gehts nicht. Diese Musik verändert die Menschheit. Leider nicht genug......
Beautiful. One of the most sublime experiences in my life was singing this piece in St. Peter’s basilica in Vatican City a few years ago.
This is the Gold of Christian songs. Are Tridentine Mass hymns all like this?
Great rendition of one of the 350(!) or so motets by the greatest composer who ever graced the planet.
Sono anni che vi seguo e apprezzo. Questo pezzo di Palestrina, che amo moltissimo, è stato da voi eseguito in modo sublime. Grazie !
Davvero! Bravissimi!
Sublime. Voces8 makes my heart swell (in a good way) and makes my soul rise within me. This was beauty defined.
Wow...perfection...I call this "clear-air music", not only does it feel like there's clear air under your shoes when you're singing it, but Voces 8 take me to a place of serenity that's almost out of this world. Thanks again.
Thank you for always dedicating great care to the correct pronunciation of Latin. Much appreciated, in addition to your singing mastery.
This is my favorite piece of the entire Early Music repertoire. Thank you ❤
Oh yay! Been waiting for this on TH-cam!!!! Palestrina writes the best magical moments for altos. I'm always sad when someone leaves VOCES8 but so impressed that each new iteration of the ensemble reworks and balances and blends while still keeping the glorious sounds and details. Bravo!
Thank you, this is just lovely and exceedingly well done. VOCES8… keeping art alive one composition at a time and in so doing, keeping us alive.
A gem of unrivaled beauty. Palestrina never imagined it could be so good.
Whouah !
Je suis au ciel, entouré d'anges.
Merci.
Que placer divino.
Muchas gracias, saludos y bendiciones desde Santiago de Chile.

🤝👏👏💐💐🙏✝️🙏🇨🇱🇨🇱.
Resurrexit sicut dixit ✝️🙏✝️
Que coisa maravilhosa... ❤
Such peaceful and beautiful music by Palestrina absolutely wonderfully performed thank you WOCES8🍃
Catholicism is so beautiful. Just wow ❤
Palestrina was admitted to the Sistine Chapel in 1555...the choir that performs at all papal functions and ceremonies . And yet he was dismissed by Pope Paul IV for being married!
Wow! I feel like I had been waiting years to hear a Voces8´s rendition of Sicut Cervus, and it didn´t disappoint. It is up there with the Cambridge Singers´ rendition.
This is one of the most serene choral piece I love and I sang bass
Absolutely exquisitely sung with perfection and incredible sensitivity. One of my favorite pieces!!! Bravo!!! Thk you!
So sublime. Thank you for bringing back memories of singing in our local chamber choir, now sadly defunct.
Really like the tempo and pacing here. It's hard to find a recording of this that doesn't either drag on too slow, or speed things up too much. Nicely done!
If I am listening to choral music on youtube and Voces 8 has a rendition, it is always the bestm perfect and sends me to another universe. Was blessed to see them in concert a few years ago.
Ohh, such beautiful piece of music! I was missing your guys, thanks for the upload!
I sang this peice in my high school choir this year!!! It’s so pretty 😌 also this video made my birthday WAY better 😊
Cuanta belleza, cuanta delicadeza tanto en la obra en sí misma como en la perfección de la interpretación gracias saludos desde Colombia
Las voces magistrales de VOCES8 son de una belleza inigualable, un canto a la perfección vocal que nos muestran con esta pieza religiosa tan espiritual el talento del gran maestro G.P. da Palestrina.
I love your videos and greatly appreciate your sharing them. My spirit thanks you all!
I can only add my gratitude and admiration to that of many others.
Wundervolle Darbietung. Voces8 sollte einmal das Requiem von Duarte Lobo singen...
One of my favorite pieces, and you sing it so beautifully!
Wundervoll mit wieviel Feingefühl dieses Ensemble singt. Ich habe es erst seit gestern auf TH-cam entdeckt und bin fasziniert ❤
Oh you've so much to listen to. I recommend you listen to their William Byrd and Orlando Gibbons!
My favorite group singing my favorite piece!
Sublime , thank you !!🤗😇
Finally!! I had long wished for Voces8 to perform Sicut Cervus (which was one of the earliest Choral hymns I was exposed to). Beautiful, as always - moving despite having heard it so many times all these years, and delivered in such a silky smooth blend of voices. Bravo! That final Ad Te Deus brought home by the Soprano singers is just.. perfect. Like cool water to the parched soul, to borrow the metaphor.
PS: Nice to see so many others in the comments who had waited for exactly this piece by Voces :D
Gorgeous. Makes me wish that you had included the second part.
que maravilla!!! No tengo palabras!!!...
GOSH I LOVE THIS PIECE. You all did such a magnificent job at blending and making sure each part was heard, bravo!!
Bravo! Always as one voice. Magnificent
Sehr schön, danke. ❤🇩🇪
So beautiful. I refreshes my spirit.
Wonderful music, wonderful singers.
Immediately, the best version on TH-cam. Perfection.
C'est beau, une version très anglaise, très retenue, avec des voix magnifiques et un tempo très lent
Je suis curieux de la comparer avec une version d'une.chorale allemande ou argentine du même niveau, au tempo plus élastique et avec des contrastes plus dramatiques.
“Deyyyyus” at the end 😢 but honestly it’s amazing and FONTes was everything I hoped it would be and more ❤
Yes, they're not so accurate when singing in Latin.
One of my favorite pieces sung by one of the best choirs I know
Every one of the voices is perfectly in balance.
This was the very first polyphony I ever did 19 years ago as a high school freshman…it remember it like yesterday and it’s never gotten old to sing or listen to ❤️💗❤️💗❤️💗
I needed this one today guys ❤️
Gorgeous. A masterpiece from Palestrina, and incredible well executed.
Потрясающе!!❤❤
Hermoso.
MAGNIFIQUE ! vous êtes géniaux ! ! Bravo à vous tous ......
Palestrina.Beautiful!!!!
Magnifica esecuzione curata nei minimi particolari soffusa di grande dolcezza
I wish I could hear them live. A better world, in our ears.
Mamma mia! It seems to be in paradise. And the basses are incredible! ❤❤❤
Belíssimo
Canto que toca a alma
Parabéns
Einfach himmlisch ❤❤❤
Can't stop listening to this! Amazing! Palestrina forever.
Never ever disappointed. Thank you.
Sublime. Complimenti
Magnifique!!!!!!!!!
Me ha gustado mucho. Gracias ❤❤
splendid! wonderful
Высокий профессионализм. Бальзам на мои уши.
Flawless as always, and the new bass is settling in very well. It must be very intimidating to become a member of the best chamber choir in the world.
sublime, thank you
Simply gorgeous.
So beautiful! Your voices inspire me and motivate me to really try my best to sing it nicely.
Thank you for this wonderful moment, it's a real delight for our ears.
Heavenly, what higher praise can there be?
Excellent!
I would love to watch/hear them learning a new piece.
Wonderful, as always ❤❤
Thank you for the high school memories as a madrigal!
Beautiful - I had to listen to it twice.
Beautiful and elegant as expected. Anyone notice the lovely bird sound that can be heard as the final phrase dies away?
Magnificent
Whatever it is you do, you do it very well.
Thank you
Intervalos pensados pra fazer o sensitivo acordar para a piedade, amor, honra, paz realização!
Belo, muito belo
