Amazing voices, amasing technique! I'm happy to listen you again. First time it was in Arezzo in 1992, I was a member of children choir Vesna. Now I'm 30 years old, but I remember your singing since this time.
It's me again. I don't know but everytime I needed to think and ask God what is He trying to tell me at this point in my life, I always go back to this music and it helps me so much. I'm at the rock bottom now and I thank God for this music. Thank you Tim's Music Corner for uploading this video. I feel peace in my heart.
In "Salimm su, tanto chi'i' vidi, De le cose belle che porta 'I" - that small opening to paradise was sung so delicately and effectively that when "Ciel" is first introduced (E) - the perfect third - heaven, sounded the way it should be. It's so Callas, I love it!
Man, they did great. That competition is crazy competitive, especially since they were going against the Vesna Children's choir which also won the grand prix before. Vesna is probably the toughest of the challengers cuz they are a children's choir, angelic voices and all. Put together Vesna and Madz and you'll probably get as close to perfection as is possible.
i was in the massachusetts allstate choir and we sang this too, and its amazing to me that this amount of people, the phillipine madrigal singers, can achieve this gorgeous, full sound, with like 20 people. its absolutely breathtaking. i love this piece.
September 2024 and I'm still listening to this song. Thank you Sir Tim for capturing this and letting us experience this heavenly rendition of the Madz over and over again.
I was there. I got goosebump during their performance.. This is by far my most favorite performance of Madz.... their sound is so ethereal as if i am in a trance entering the gate of heaven.
It's January 24, 2021 and I'm back here still listening amidst all the things happening around the world. Their voice., This masterpiece still gives me chills and gives me so much emotions listening. 🙏🏽
I am currently listening to this triumphant group singing We Beheld Once Again the Stars🌠🌠🌠🌠as we speak. This performance has remained timeless since its debut 17 years ago🙏🥲🙏
I can't stop watching this several times since it was posted here. I am a soprano. Anytime I have to sing descant part, I imagine to this. Thanks for providing me the greatest role model, ever!
I've been listening to this version since they've won the Grand Prix in 2007. It's been 10 years since then, I'm still listening to their angelic voices. A two-full-choir required piece with over 20 singers but they've sound like legions of them!
omg, i just saw the sheet music for this song, and stroope actually wrote it for two full SATB choirs harmonizing with each other at the same time. in other words, in this video you are viewing right now, the madz are divided into two SATB choirs at this very performance, conducting themselves, and singing in full 8 part! AMAZING! MADZ, AMAZING!
And i got to see and hear them live last Dec 30, 2023 in their reunion concert. I made the right choice of going that night though I dont have a ticket in my hand (bec it's already sold out). Thank God I was still able to purchase one on the actual venue. I love you, Madz! Thank you for inspiring me to be excellent and to always sing from the heart. Still a dream come true for me! ❤️
Listen to the flawless and magnificent transition of harmony from 5:32 From this onwards this is where I get all the goose bumps everytime I listen to this over and over and over again. The incredible legatos and spectacular soprano blew me away
Simplicity in the best sense, elegant vocal lines, virtuosity in service of the music, seamless breathing, broad dynamic ranges, felt, textured, and nuanced singing...everything you want in a choir is present here. What a blessing you all are. Tears welled in my eyes with this video. One of your all-time best.
I have been exposed to different interpretations of this piece, but none of them can compare to the way Madz performed and presented the beauty of this choral piece. There is something special about how they sang it. I find it to be captivating, and it really resonates with me. Simply superb.
I listen everyday to madz song. when I'm at work place, at home, everywhere, I always listen to them and also sing along. Now I almost know all the songs they sung in bass part coz I'm a bass singer when I was in college back then. All my friends at work always ask me why I always play this kinnd of song everytime from morning to evening, and I said that I love this kind of music especially sung by Philippine Madrigal Singers.
I wish someday I could hear them perform live. I am a young fan of them and they are my inspiration to be a better member of pur choir group in church🤍
I dont know if any choir in the world has , is and will able to match this paricular puece and performance. I found some international and award winning choirs too but im sorry it really pales in comparison. I think this is one of the hardest choir pieces ever
@2:03 see one of the judges' head move from the sheet music to the performers onstage...he must have heard the sound he was looking for...to hell with the sheet music.
Very impressive sound, always a must in one's ipod
I can't believe I had the pleasure of being directed and coached by the composer of this song. Wish I could go back to that time over and over again. :c
The reason behind why they are sitting is because they are proving that they are really professional singers since it is hard to breath when sitting. It is their trademark and their highlight.
"The group performs a variety of styles and forms but it specializes in the Madrigal, a polyphonic and challenging musical style popular during the Renaissance period where singers and guests would gather around the table during a banquet to sight-sing and make music together. This served as the inspiration for their unique style of singing - singing seated in a semicircle without a conductor". - Wiki
True(",) Singing sitting down is much more challenging than standing up. This is where you can tell a great choir from a not, no offense to all other choir groups. Two Thumbs Up for the Philippine Madrigal Singers! You all have made our country SO PROUD! And brought HONORS as well(",)(,")
Love this! This is my absolute favorite in all of the pieces they've sung. I'm responsible for about 20 views already, lol! I always listen to this whenever I want to relax. Paulit-ulit ako magpatugtog, lol!
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful music and your choir! Honestly, I get a lot of energy and impression from hearing this music, and I really almost cry everytimes when I listen to. I really wish to be there! Thank you again!
Oh my God! they really deserve the champion title!! My jaw was dropped to the floor the whole time I listened to the song! Z. Randall Stroope woulb SO proud to hear his song is sung in such GREAT way and interpretation!! BRAVO MADZ!!! here's a standing ovation for you!!
My wise 88-year old filipino music teacher of violin, piano, guitar, mandolin and a vocal coach (music teacher from a well known university when she was younger) once said that of all the musical instruments, the human voice is the most beautiful.
I sang this song in my all state choir in Vermont. It remains to be the most inspirational and meaningful song I have ever sang. Whenever I sing it or hear it preformed I get chills. This is a very good performance of it.
Really exquisite choral singing...I'm always astonished by how magical their blend is. I think singing in a mixed group and in a semi-circle really allows them to hear each other in a way that makes balancing voices much easier.
Same as others, i kept coming back to this piece, why? It's my soul says.. go back and listen..lol..This was recorded at that time via a video camcorder and it was perfect. Imagine if it's recorded with professional recording equipment, I don't know what to say.
And if they haven't won the most prestigious chorale competitions around the world, I would give your comment a little more credit. I've sung sitting and standing, and I just don't see it as a hindrance to proper expression, so long as I have the right technique. The sitting position and mixed seating arrangement does demand that you have more talented singers - but that shouldn't be a problem for the Madz.
But soon it will be night. I climbed toward paradise with no thought of looking back. I passed through a small opening And finally saw heaven and the supreme light. And beheld once again the stars. * * * * * What an awesome, other-worldly performance! Did the audience ever applaud or were they just too stunned to do so :D Thank you, MADZ, for your artistry and the honor you give to our country!
Anyone brought here by Madz 2007’s reunion concert last December 30, 2023? ❤
This was the best batch of the MADZ.. Solid bass, razor tenor, floating altos and power sopranos👍👌🇵🇭
I agree. I hear a lot of flats and sharps and heavy voice placements among the current batch.
Same. In my opinion, this batch had the best sopranos. They really soar! The current ones don't have this tone.
Have you heard of the Madz '89?
I will search this batch... If there is videos on youtube.
True. This batch sounds like a choir from heaven.
Amazing voices, amasing technique! I'm happy to listen you again. First time it was in Arezzo in 1992, I was a member of children choir Vesna. Now I'm 30 years old, but I remember your singing since this time.
Congratulations for even competing against Madz, did you happen to have a video of those events? Pls upload

If the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is considered "America's Choir", the Madz would not only be the "Philippine's Choir" but the "World's Choir".
BIG AMEN FOR THAT (",)(,") I SO AGREE!

Voice from heaven like an angel
2024 and still here listening to this wonderful ethereal performance by Madz ❤❤❤❤❤
Very deserving of the EGP. To me they are still the best grand prix winner ever
Use your earphones specially from 6:33 when they sang in unison and then boom until the end. Uwian na may nanalo na talaga.
This is their winning piece and the best version ever in the world. Angelic voices from heaven
Man, they did great. That competition is crazy competitive, especially since they were going against the Vesna Children's choir which also won the grand prix before. Vesna is probably the toughest of the challengers cuz they are a children's choir, angelic voices and all. Put together Vesna and Madz and you'll probably get as close to perfection as is possible.
And the Vesna choir beat them last 2017…. Both are amazing indeed,,,
During nCov Outbreak, this piece makes me feel calm and could think this too shall pass. Still Listening to you #2020

the only human voices that could almost match the choir of heaven. and they are filipinos! great!

I understand this piece is intended for two full choirs and Madz are just 24? Incredible how they sounded like a hundreds of voices and so powerful !
this is the most beautiful performance.
ever.
You are welcome, it's my pleasure. I can't wait to go to Manila from Taiwan to watch Madz's homecominig concert in October 27.
How I wish every person in the world can hear this. Beautiful.
5:33 This is how I imagined Heaven would sound like ❤
Still a magical and heavenly performance up to now. My favorite from MADZ. Goosebumps!
The best batch of sopranos talaga
My favorite amongst all their rendition. Go back to this every now and then.
omg, i just saw the sheet music for this song, and stroope actually wrote it for two full SATB choirs harmonizing with each other at the same time.

Still listening amidst COVID19. Very uplifiting.
Indeed they are amazing! Its already Sept 28, 2022 and i am still listening to these angelic voices tirelessly! I love you Madrigals!❤💕

no choir in the world beats the Philippine Madrigal Singers...our very own. Couldn't be more proud
This is the best version of Riveder le Stelle. Been playing some here on youtube but nothing compares to their rendition! :)
I think this is more clear version of this audio. m.th-cam.com/video/FyluryQXgfc/w-d-xo.html
I started listening to this in 2008. I never stopped since.
Grabe ang breathing technique nila and how they sustain those notes for sooo long and powerful from 6:38 hanggang end
Hanapin mo po sa settings andun po
found this in 2016, and now in 2022 never stop coming back
Maravilloso!!!!!!...estuve presente tanto en sus ensayos como en el grand prix....bravo!!!

nothing compares... ive been listening to this song of madz many times and still having goosebumps. very enchanting and angelic.
Now we can say the piece has been truly sung.
The transition from @5:25 to @6:20 - it's ethereal and incredibly moving. I wish they'd come to NYC more often!
its 2017 and i still think this song rocks...better than the pieces sung at Arrezo 2016.

Eleven people were apparently deaf and could not appreciate this wonderful performance by one of the best singing groups out there.
Been listening to this rendition of the MADZ since they won. Zup, 2021?!
That emotions!!!Eargasmic music indeed from this powerful choir...Thanks for inspiring a lot of choirs in the Philippines.
The Philipine madrigal singers are great. They came to our school two years ago for an informal concert and it was simply phenomenal.
This song made them win! Impeccable!
The reason behind why they are sitting is because they are proving that they are really professional singers since it is hard to breath when sitting. It is their trademark and their highlight.
Christopher Eugenio The madrigals were sung sitting. So they sing sitting. Besides that are great singers
the story behind why they're sitting semi circle is they consider the audience the other half of the circle, just like jamming with the crowd

Still the best version of this song in TH-cam since 2007. 2nd best 2009 concert in the US by the same Choir (MADZ) with new members.
I sang this song in my all state choir in Vermont. It remains to be the most inspirational and meaningful song I have ever sang. Whenever I sing it or hear it preformed I get chills. This is a very good performance of it.
I am content that there's nothing beyond this consciousness, which is why I find your performances important.
There is a God in your music.
Really exquisite choral singing...I'm always astonished by how magical their blend is. I think singing in a mixed group and in a semi-circle really allows them to hear each other in a way that makes balancing voices much easier.

And if they haven't won the most prestigious chorale competitions around the world, I would give your comment a little more credit. I've sung sitting and standing, and I just don't see it as a hindrance to proper expression, so long as I have the right technique.
The sitting position and mixed seating arrangement does demand that you have more talented singers - but that shouldn't be a problem for the Madz.
I love how they sing in a semi-circle. Felt like you're part of them.
I can't make out a word they're singing BUT the music is BEAUTIFUL!!! And I'm most impressed that they're singing sitting down.
IT'S OFFICIAL, MADZ IS ONE OF BEST WORLDWIDE, IF NOT, THE BEST. PHILIPPINES PRIDE. .
Cool... Very very cool ! ! !
All hail, Philippine Madrigal Singers . . .
