I am so humbled by this incredible performance of my composition. Thank you Stellenbosch University Choir and Maestro André van der Merwe. You inspire the world with your sublime sound and musical sensitivity. I thank you deeply!
Sublime. Mon Dieu, que c'est beau ! Et qu'ils sont beaux tous ces jeunes, réunis dans la musique, Noirs et Blancs, dans une RSA réconciliée. J'ai pleuré en écoutant cette version...
Utterly sublime -- a touch of heaven. Thank you, Stellenbosch for sharing this grace on the weekend when the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated.
A year ago this performance had 10 000 000 views. Now it is more than 12 100 000. We are many that come back to hear it again. The best choir in the world and the best music.
One of the things that strikes me most whenever I listen to you all is the purity of your voices. Individually you must all be amazing singers, but together you reach an even higher level of soul-touching beauty. If ever you're back in the UK, I really hope I can listen to you live!
Unbelievable..the execution was not only accurate for pitch, but also for the intention of the prayer...I am a musician as well as a Catholic priest so I appreciate twice what was sung and composed.
@@markwisler9846 but the song title in English is 'hail queen'. I'd be interested to hear what you feel is Maries place in your religion if you have the time to write back.
@@juliesomethinorother we don’t worship her, but she is greatly honored as the mother of God (Theotokos). As for the “queen of heaven” title, in ancient Israel the kings mother was the queen. So in accordance with tradition we believe God crowned her after her death.
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus, O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary! Amen.
I'm part of a choir(soprano 1)but if I'm gonna sing this, I don't think I'd be able to sing it well bcos I'll just cry the whole time singing it. This is such a very beautiful composition of Franco Prinsloo and it describes very well the beauty and grace of our Blessed Virgin Mary😭😍
How many voices do u sing in this choir I really want to knw Am from Uganda and would really like to come to stellenbosch for University sing am completing my A level nxt year
Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae: Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve. Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii Hevae. Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle. Eia ergo, Advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte. Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis, post hoc exsilium ostende. O clemens: O pia: O dulcis Virgo Maria.
I listen Salve Regina, always anytime of the day...it uplift my spirit and i feel light at the end of the day... As if i am lifted by so many angels to a beautiful journey...❤🇵🇭
Hail Holy Queen hail our life our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry poor banished children of eve, to thee do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in the vale of tears. Turn then most Gracious Advocate thine eyes of Mercy towards us and after this our exile show unto us the Blessed Fruit of Thy Womb Jesus. O Clement O Loving O Sweet Virgin Mary. Salve Regina!
Had the fortune of hearing his Vox chamber choir at a competition last year where they performed with his pieces :) remember thinking that they would be fun to sing!
Stunningly beautiful. Your harmonies dissonance and big swooping glissandos remind me of Ireland's national choir, Anuna, which is where I first heard this kind of music. I am thrilled to have found you here! Thank you!
Just a tease of the sounds of praise we will hear for all of eternity... In the world to come! How talented and thank you ever so much for sharing! I’m sure every note was heard!
and this boys and girls is why we should sing without using sheet music...no heads stuck in the pages and just pure concentration on making the M U S I C
Such balance, such involvement of every choirist in every note, such leadership, such repertoire.... Thank you Stellenbosch... thank you for the magic!!
This is a beautiful choir rendition of a stunning version of Salve Regina. I find myself going back and listening again and again. It is uplifting to my soul.
Beautifully sung, with harmonics that bring us well and trully into the XXI century. Thank you to Franco and the Stellingbosch University Choir. Their quality is amazing and great ambassadors for SA and Africa
Absolutely sublime music. And on every singer's face, you see they are almost in another realm. Music is the magic we need to transcend the problems of our troubled world.
but my brother never praid to maria. catholics say always and talk about mother maria, in bible she sont want him. so religion no matter. we are christ, and thatd important.
I am watching this from China, Suzhou. Thank you, for your attempts and efforts to lead in the attempts to set things right. I see social integration and a reflection of all demographics and people being themselves. Hair styles of people of color the way they/we feel our best version of ourselves. Whoever is in control of this choir, keep doing what you're doing. The rest will follow. There's hope, both my children were born here, Elvis has basically left the building. But you keeping dreams alive of sending our Kids to Paul Roos and Girls High.
I can’t get enough of this performance. The beauty and mysteriousness of the musical composition, the flawlessness of the performance, the look of reverence in the performers’ faces… very moving, even as I’m not religious, yet I think the human emotion of longing for connection to unconditional love must be universal. Am I alone though, in feeling the piece “wants” to end right before the final “Salve”? The phrase ends so gently, you almost can’t tell where the sound ends and the silence begins, a little like the airy veil between our world and whatever’s beyond. The final“Salve” comes in like an attack, and quite jars me out of my meditation.
Masterpiece ❤ Your voice dynamics and harmonies are incredible! Listening to this song was the first time when I feel the presence of the Virgin Mary so strongly...beautiful, beautiful. Thank you! I'm really looking forward to hear from you more. God bless you!
Love that this video does not have any other sound at the start or at the end as the applause just takes me out of the whole zone I enter upon listening to these beautiful sounds...
Que hermoso, que puesta en escena tan limpia y angelical... he visto todos los videos y todooooooooos son maravilloso, pero este es el que más me gusta y lo escucho todos los días para comenzar mi trabajo. Son Excelente.
Absolutely incredible. A purity of sound, of harmonious symmetry. Beautiful composition and truly memorable. I'm listening in silence with tears of awe and joy.
This amazing choir is so versatile...and so well trained! thank you for posting your wonderful performances for the rest of us around the world to see and hear...a true treat to experience. WELL DONE!
The choir, so diverse, yet perfect unity. The piece, magnificent. The sound, other worldly. The experience, an absolute privilege. Dankie Franco! Dankie André! Puik!! 👌🥂
I am so humbled by this incredible performance of my composition. Thank you Stellenbosch University Choir and Maestro André van der Merwe. You inspire the world with your sublime sound and musical sensitivity. I thank you deeply!
Eric Whitacre, Franco Prinsloo, Jake Runestad, Pieter van Dijk.
You are part of that group👌🏾
Bravo Franco and Stellies for an awesome performance
Superb Franco
Franco Prinsloo thank you for composing something so beautiful. The choir interprets what you have envisioned and it truly speaks to my soul
Kindly, share the music sheet please. @kyalondunga@gmail.com
The most beautiful prayer for our mother to all that I have never heard. May God bless you and grant you his grace !
This absolutely knocked my socks off.
Sublime. Mon Dieu, que c'est beau ! Et qu'ils sont beaux tous ces jeunes, réunis dans la musique, Noirs et Blancs, dans une RSA réconciliée. J'ai pleuré en écoutant cette version...
I have listened to this hundreds of times. What a beautiful performance. ❤❤❤❤
Tears. Tears. Tears.
The best decision I've made in University was auditioning for this choir.
God Bless This Choir
You sang with this Choir? Lucky😌
Amazing voices. Be part of this choir must be a joy.
Congratulations for the excelent interpretation.
@@chideraebube4120 I could not agree more
LuthandoSiboyaVEVO it was the best experience to sing next to you, brother❤️
@@Serfie23 ❤️ man you're one awesome human
One simple word “beautiful “ thank you and many blessings!
Wonderful! Congratulations for singing this incredible rendition. One of the best I have heard from across the World. Greetings from Australia.
The best choir in the world. I can listen to you for hours.
Anna from Poland
I agree with you. From New Zealand
When our Blessed Mother is being honored there are angels swirling about. I wonder if they felt them. I did!
❤
sounds like paradise! thanks
Utterly sublime -- a touch of heaven. Thank you, Stellenbosch for sharing this grace on the weekend when the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated.
Music like this nourishes our impoverished souls.
What I wouldn’t give to hear this choir perform live. I have fallen in love with their sound from half a world away ❤️
I literally was saying the same thing.
A year ago this performance had 10 000 000 views. Now it is more than 12 100 000. We are many that come back to hear it again. The best choir in the world and the best music.

It resonates pure goodness
Unbelievable..the execution was not only accurate for pitch, but also for the intention of the prayer...I am a musician as well as a Catholic priest so I appreciate twice what was sung and composed.
Salve Regina !!
I'm moslem, and by this human choir i respect and pray for marry, the mother of Isa ( Jesus ) ..
Best Human Choir ever ..
I’m a Christian not a Catholic so I don’t worship mary, but wow it’s so pretty
I haven’t listened to many choirs so I don’t know much about them but yeah I think I agree - best human choir ever.
@@juliesomethinorother just humbly letting you know that Catholics don’t worship her either
@@markwisler9846 but the song title in English is 'hail queen'. I'd be interested to hear what you feel is Maries place in your religion if you have the time to write back.

How sure are we that this choir is an ensemble of humans?? They have been surely sent by God to bless us. Tears everytime? I'm tired of crying
surely it's the Divine that rides on this choir
Beautiful, Love Our Mother Mary so much. Thank you,
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy, hail, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve: to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.

did you have boy altos in the choir
The choir consists of sopranos Altos tenors and basses
Salve, Regina, mater misericordiae:
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii Hevae.
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia ergo, Advocata nostra,

ad nos converte.
Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis, post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens: O pia: O dulcis
Virgo Maria.
What men and women can do with the expression of their voices is truly amazing.
Praise be to God!
If I saw this live I think I would just die in my seat from how beautiful this is omg my mortal body can’t handle this 😆❤️
This choirs tone and sound cant be beat. Bravo!
It's like a soulful cry to a loving Mother who is just as soulful, if not more, in her response to a child well-loved.
Guys don't forget to like this masterpiece after watching . Please
I sent this wonderful song to many friends in Myanmar, beeing in big fear.
I find myself coming back to this most nights before bed. Such a beautiful performance!
2:40 I can’t explain To you what these sounds do to me 😮💨🤌🏾😭😭 good Lord … such divinity my gassshhh
The harmony, the balance, the contrasts, the subtlety, the control... Out of this world
I listen Salve Regina, always anytime of the day...it uplift my spirit and i feel light at the end of the day... As if i am lifted by so many angels to a beautiful journey...❤🇵🇭
Es rüht mich jedesmal zu Tränen.
Stellies never disappoint. I am here always as soon as i receive the notification. And today is a Sunday. What a great song ..Much Love
Hail Holy Queen hail our life our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry poor banished children of eve, to thee do we send up our sighs mourning and weeping in the vale of tears. Turn then most Gracious Advocate thine eyes of Mercy towards us and after this our exile show unto us the Blessed Fruit of Thy Womb Jesus. O Clement O Loving O Sweet Virgin Mary. Salve Regina!
This man is a genius choirmaster ✋🏼 I salute you
Heavenly, Healing ..... and so good for the soul. Thank you.
I could see Virgin Mary's face in this. Incredible beautiful and depp. Just love it thousand times. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How can humans be capable of such divine beauty yet at the same time such destruction. This is exquisite.
By far my most favorite song I've sung! Wow. From a South African composer Franco Prinsloo❤️
Had the fortune of hearing his Vox chamber choir at a competition last year where they performed with his pieces :) remember thinking that they would be fun to sing!
Is this version's score done by a South African? Had heard Salve Regina before, but not this version.
@@hildebergman Thank you so much! This performance by Stellenbosch is so very moving!
@@petersholle823 Yes, this is my setting of the text.
Magical. Pure bliss for the ears. Thank you all.
When you put an arrangement like this and a choir like this together, don’t expect anything less than the best in the world.
Angels in heaven is what I hear.... speechless
Chöre haben die Eigenschaft besonders zu klingen, nämlich wunderschön.Meinen Dank f.diesen Musikgenuss u.tiefen Respekt.
Stunningly beautiful. Your harmonies dissonance and big swooping glissandos remind me of Ireland's national choir, Anuna, which is where I first heard this kind of music. I am thrilled to have found you here! Thank you!

This is how it must be in heaven.... Such lovely, angelic voices.. God bless you all
I see Stellenbosch university choir, I like first then I watch
Honestly I do the same ..!!!!! Simply majestic!!
Patrick Ning'i same
Hehe, true.
4:12 THE RESONANCE OF THAT LAST CHORD IS HEAVENLY
Without a doubt my favourite choir ever, and this composition by Francesco Prinsloo, a South African, is sublime.
and this boys and girls is why we should sing without using sheet music...no heads stuck in the pages and just pure concentration on making the M U S I C
I don't know about other countries. But in South Africa most choirs learn music of by heart. It feels weird paging through music while singing 😂
@@gomolemomokgatle7161 a lot of people use music when singing major works
I prefer not to use it and colliewollie comment is dead on.
the best choir in the world .
Such balance, such involvement of every choirist in every note, such leadership, such repertoire....
Thank you Stellenbosch... thank you for the magic!!
Where is this score published, for crying out loud??? A masterpiece. And these kids... They bring me tears everytime I watch.
This is a beautiful choir rendition of a stunning version of Salve Regina. I find myself going back and listening again and again. It is uplifting to my soul.
Beautifully sung, with harmonics that bring us well and trully into the XXI century. Thank you to Franco and the Stellingbosch University Choir. Their quality is amazing and great ambassadors for SA and Africa
Thank you Brian, I appreciate your beautiful words.
Beautifully doen by Stellies - composed by another South African. Proud Proud❤️❤️❤️
This was my favourite piece of the Woordfees performance! Truly a beautiful piece sung by an amazing choir ❤️
The singing Sapiens, ten thousand years of evolution has lead to this. We are blessed.
Absolutely sublime music. And on every singer's face, you see they are almost in another realm. Music is the magic we need to transcend the problems of our troubled world.
this is my favorite piece i’ve ever heard. and my favorite group of voices to listen to. i have to sing in this choir before i die.
Woooow, Goosebumps all over.
just to think that I am blessed to be in the same country as them *tears of joy *
Een van de beste studentenkoren ter wereld. Dank u, Zuid-Afrika!
the best choir point blank nevermind student choir lolol
@@pred7949 Is dit Engels? Ik begrijp je niet. Het koor is duidelijk gemengd.
Lekker bly, hartelike groete uit Den Haag, NL
From Misión Cruz Hermitage in Somerset, Texas. Blessings
How angelic tjoooo!!! Don't even know what it means but its got me all feeling like im levitating in the clouds with Jesus.
As a Catholic who loves Mother Mary, this amazing piece to her stunned me into prayerful silence. Bravo !
Me too
but my brother never praid to maria. catholics say always and talk about mother maria, in bible she sont want him. so religion no matter. we are christ, and thatd important.
I'm a Lutheran and I also love Mother Mary, and even though I don't believe in praying to her, this piece almost moved me to tears.
This should be played on the last days of earth to soothe our souls 🤍
I’ve listened to this beautiful sound over and over again. Wonderful rendition of Salve Regina. Loved it%
By far my favourite piece I’ve ever sung 🥺❤️
Hail holy Queen, Mother of Mercy…pray for us!
Again it is Mary’s month and today is mother’s day
what otherworldly gift is this middle part for our ears??? floored.
Love, love, love. I'm in tears. Very beautiful rendition
Pięknie, świetnie, brawa! - Baie mooi!
