@@jenmorricone4014 Thank you Jen. I am fortunate to live near hills and moors and streams in northern UK and though walking is a problem I love to sit in the peace and listen to the sounds of nature talking to themselves.

Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace. Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum, quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum. Lumen ad revelationem gentium et gloriam plebis tuae Israel.
7 years later and this is till this day the most perfect execution of this masterpiece. VOCES8 were beyond great and honored Arvo's composition by it's ultmost.
Beautiful arrangement of one of my favorite parts of the office of Compline. Nunc Dimittis - Lord, you now have set your servant free * to go in peace as you have promised; For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, * whom you have prepared for all the world to see: A Light to enlighten the nations, * and the glory of your people Israel.
This is such a beautiful piece of music, and so very well executed. The part from 3:40 to 3:50 is perhaps the most beautiful and powerful piece of composition that has ever been created. Gives me chills every time.
How how, how can anything be as beautiful as this. It feels that it comes from a different place. This represents for me all the sadness and suffering that the world has been through during the pandemic. Yet it speaks of hope, resolution and utter beauty. Thank you ❤️
I agree. The music points our attention to something that transcends the current situation. That is very comforting to know that there's hope and beauty still abiding all around us if we're open to really seeing and hearing and believing.
@@rachelturner5228 The Gospel of Luke, chapter 2, verses 22-38, The Presentation in the Temple. The Nunc Dimittis is said/chanted nightly in the Catholic Church near the end of the hour of Compline, the final hour of the Liturgy of the Hours. Compline ends with the chanting of the Salve Regina.
The 3 years that I was in a choir we always practiced this in between our performance songs but could never perfect it and perform it. I always come here when I miss the choir family of mine.
Both the vocal arrangement and the visuals are hauntingly beautiful. From 3:39 onward (Lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuae Israel) culminates in a surreal feeling of release, how the voices seem to melt away into the air is exquisite.
No doubt, very beautiful a composition, and outstanding performance nonetheless. The lyrics are from the Gospel according to Luke and beyond its particular meaning, the text carries a universal meaning. Interesting to notice how powerfully latin can still convey the sense of human existence or non-existence, how dramatically it can lead us all to a common ground of feelings and thoughts.
Beautiful performance of a wonderful work by one of my favourite composers. The beginning is particularly enchanting and mysterious. Blessings from Berlin.
Lord? Which one, though? So many have been talked about through millennia that it's hard to guess if a single one of them isn't just another invention of the human mind.
Thank you Voces8 for being my lullaby during this pandemic. This piece and others (some on your After Silence CD, which I bought and am loving) calms my mind and centers my spirit.

great video..every note is heartfelt.thats why I love your music. a rare thing these days...it's emotionally honest, authentic, world class. the passage at 3.41 is epic.
Touched me on some unconscious level. Quite deep and primeval context. Reminded me on some scenes of Lars von Trier, e.g. Melancholia or Antichrist where he works with slow motion. Looking forward for your next concert in Vienna!
This is an......otherworldly mastepiece from all aspects --- the composition, the performance, the visuals. I've never heard anything remotely like it, other than possibly Ligeti's compositions that were featured in 2001: A Space Odyssey. I've never listened to Arvo Part before, but have listened to thousands of pieces of classical music. It's like he invoked something to open a channel into another dimension. It's....haunting, carrying awe, thoughts of unfathomable things we'll never understand, some light touches of even dread, crystalline beauty, peacefulness, relief, and some sort of epiphany where you suddenly come to some bizarre realization of the interconnectedness of all things, even though you understand absolutely none of the semantics. There's a built-in cognitive dissonance when we think about the universe being finite, or infinite, and a cognitive dissonance when we think about the existence of a creator, or the non-existence of a creator. And then this piece speaks to one to reconcile all of that, with the reassuring statement ---- "It's going to be ok..."
About 20 years ago I was driving and was listening to this mesmerizing choral singing on the radio. I got home and did something I had never done, called the radio station to find out what the amazing work was. That's when I first heard of Arvo Part.

@@douglascanoose5281 Thanks for the reference. I listened to it. You know what was more impressive than the song itself? What people wrote about when hearing or remembering it. Now I'll draw from a quote to tells you what I thought after reading what people wrote: "To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places - and there are so many - where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory. " --- Howard Zinn

What a beautiful way to leave. And a lucky man to have such a sweet daughter. 😥❤️

One of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard. And the chord this song ends on... wow.

This is just a perfect performance of Nunc Dimittis by Voces 8. In tune good timing and well done.
When this horrible virus is over, and you come to NY, I will leap a mountain to come and hear you. Thanks for this beauty.
