It is impressive when someone can not only sing soprano, alto, tenor, and bass, but sing them all well too
The bass in this songs is actually a tenor.
I also can sing all parts....
@@lassebrynildsen7814 as a choral singer, and someone who’s performed this piece, respectfully, it isn’t a tenor part
This is my man. My fucking man. He does all my tracks for chorus and damn well. He has saved me so much pain over the years bro you don't even get it, he has done tracks for every song I've ever done for advanced choir
What language!
I'm speechless
I am crying....what gives you the RIGHT to be so EXQUISITE??? 👀
Bellissimo
Sublime.
Quand j'écoute, je me dis qu'il existe bien des clés qui ouvrent nos âmes.
This is nothing short of the most incredible multitrack I've ever heard.
This is such a simple video and yet it is part of the best content in the whole youtube world
Spoken from the heart...
Agreed. Exquisite
The Chamber choir for my school is doing this piece. And might I say, WOW! Your tone is one of the richest I have ever heard. Not to mention your head voice is just as powerful as your chest. I'm a tenor as well, and this just makes me want to be better.
YES.......Matthew Curtis, Tenor
has performed around the world with internationally recognized choral ensemble such as Chanticleer, San Francisco Symphony Chorus, Philharmonia Baroque, American Bach Soloists, and the Rose Ensemble. He founded Choral Tracks in 2012 to provide singers and choirs with the tools to revolutionize the way they learn music. Matthew has also worked with composers from over 20 countries to bring their new music to life
What a stunning musical tour de force! Thank you Matthew! And thank you to Ola Gjeilo for the music of this old prayer forever modern!
Man, you made distinction between soprano and alto colour (timbre) in these female parts. Outstanding! Gifted guy.
WHOA i just ran into you on accident but i swear i hear you on EVERY practice track ive ever heard for all county/all state
Still the best version I've heard of this piece. Bravo.
I wish we could watch this and see the music at the same time.
Gotta love Ola Gjeilo
Used the audio for Tenor and Bass while I was still in Choir during my Junior year (20-21). My Junior year and my most of my classes, of course, including Choir at home on a computer.
Matthew I really believe that no one knows how really difficult this is to arrange and yet sing. When I was a young boy in 1956, Fr. Cushing headed our boys choir and he accomplished half of what you have done. We were amazed at his octaves not nearly as spot on as you. You are truly blessed, but you already know that.
He didn’t arrange it. And the sound it mastered quite heavily most likely using Melodyne to correct the pitch.

I'm obsessed with Ola Gjeilo. This is better than the version on Northern Lights! Please make more practice tracks. Every song that ever existed, if possible. Thank you for your time.
J'adore toutes les musiques d'Ola gjeilo
So beautifully sung.
Beautiful music four times beautifully sung.
Wow! Gorgeous. Very high...but beautifully delivered my friend.
Congrats from the Canary Islands! I´ve rehearsed and performed this piece several times with my actual choir, and it´s one of most moving songs I´ve ever sung. Keep doing this kind of works for us, the real choir music lovers!! Thanks a lot...
P.D. I´ll be really pleased if you and everyone who watch this video listen some performances from my choir: Camerata Lacunensis. Thanks
Also the little eyebrow raise you do when you go into falsetto is absolutely charming, I'm just saying.
Meraviglioso!!!!
Love this just want to hear that glorious bass line a little more.
Gorgeous
Utterly transcendent! Remarkable beyond words.
just perfect. Thanks Matthew
This is one of the few videos on youtube, that has my complete attention when I watch it. This is very beautiful, and engaging.
Bravo! This is excellent! Thank you.
OH! I stumbled upon this quite by accident but I am now a HUGE fan.
Awesome tenor
Impressive and beautiful.
Absolutely amazing!
Absolutely stunning, and why are there any dislikes that’s just wrong
My school is singing this and I think we sound really good. This is my favourite song and I absolutely adore your voice!
I'm a neophyte in sacred music, in spite of it this music moves my emotions, transports me, excites me, inspires me and helps me to continue on my way...music the only universal language that surpasses all borders and barriers. Heartfelt thanks Matthew
That's due to the fact that you are vask. You will find many relatives in the most southern country of South America, so sensitive as regads music as you are. I am french vask too and I am flashed by Gjeilo´s music..... what to say...
Que preciosidad 🤗😊
Fabulous.
Non ci sono parole...
im practicing for my state competition as a bass 2 and your all i listen to keep it up your amazing
No im wrong. “Ubi caritas” is used for Maundy Thursday at the foot washing. Ii is “locus iste a deo factus est” that is used for a church dedication. It means this place was built for god.
Absolutely Breathtaking and Beautiful WOW
This is so lovely. Our tai chi instructor has this in rotation for music during the practice part of our class. Parting the Horse's Mane, Waving hands Like Clouds, Jade Maiden at the Shuttles, all flow beautifully (American style Tai Chi in Portland OR) .
Just amazing!!!
extraordinary... congrats....😃
How does he sync up the videos so perfectly? I'm really, really interested in trying it for myself
Wow, so clean and tight. I can hear the subtleties in the arrangement so much better than on a choir recording. Gorgeous, and excellent performance.
Wow, brilliant.
our school choir is doing this for heritage and this was absolutely beautiful! I teared up
My choir sang this song for competitions! You did wonderfully! I was singing along with you! Its nice to hear the songs I sang, sung by wonderfully talented people like yourself! Great job!
Mr Curtis.... I would firstly like to take this opportunity to thank you for bringing your gift to this world. May I be so bold as to ask what your vocal classification is and how do you develop it. I am a contra tenor by education but nothing like this. I tip my hat to you, Sir! Thank-you!
My gosh I just struck gold in finding this video!! We’re doing this in women’s chorale and this rendition is beautiful😭😭😭😭
SO GOOD
this is just bloody amazing!
instant download
The best part is that little smile on your face))
Amazing!!
Being able to blend with yourself makes the harmonies sound especially tight, your sound is incredible! We did this song in my choir as well as Loch Lochmond which you performed. These videos helped us find our sound, thank you!
molto bello bravo
Absolutely stunning. What an incredible voice you have Matthew🙏
so inspiring ! makes onr feel the word is a paradise .....
tears in my eyes... deeply touched... great performance...
WOW. I never ever comment on videos but man you can SING! I'm a singer myself and never get touched by a voice, but you totally gave me goosebumps!!!
Your falsetto is fantastic!
Well done
"Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est!"
Amazing!
Wow!
Maravilloso..
Admirable.. Espero poder hacerlo algún día.
This is so good. I love how you do all your videos by yourself, doing every part.
Majestic performance. Do you have such a wide diapason of voice?
I am blown away. absolutely stunning. im singing this in a huge choir in april. But, this was perfect.
Meu Deus ,como eu não assisti esse vídeo antes ,lindo demais.
So beatiful, so lovely.
Why don't you have more subscribers?! Incredibly beautiful!!!
Wow! So beautiful and beautifully sung. Amazing.
absolutely AMAZING . how it manages to be so full and rich with only 4 tracks is beyond me. you are fantastic . long live choral music
This is one of the most beautiful a capella multitracks I've ever found on TH-cam. :-) Just beautiful...
He knows what he’s doing
I can only agree wholeheartedly with chrv13...absolutely beautiful. Needless to say, you have another subscriber. Look forward to hearing more of your wonderful talent.
Kind Regards
This was too good. I am not joking when I say I was brought to tears. Absolutely beautiful and for a second I thought this was autotuned. The tone and clarity of your voice is astounding and I wish I could sing that beautiful tenor line without having my passaggio get in the way. At any rate, I loved this so much, I cannot wait to see what else you put out!
Best version I have heard. Lovely and inspiring.
Wow...just...wow.
I almost cried. This was just beautiful. 👏
im amazed how you were able to get them all in time and in sync.
Thank you Mat for your version. I found Ubi Caritas by Gjeilo sufing in TH-cam back in january (in my country Argentina is summer) and started performing it with my choir. Listening your performance of this opus, is also a pleasure. Congratulations.
Meravigliosa! Many tank's!
Really wonderfull. Is nice to listen to such a wonderfull voice.
wow this is impressive.
Which voice is the first you record when you do these a capella videos??
Great job! How did you create the video with four boxes? Software?
the choir I sing at the conservatoire I study is about to sing this song too... really awesome what you did, congratulations!!!
absolutely stunning! We will be singing this in August with Stanford summer chorus. Love it!!
AWESOME!!!!!!
Matt, congrats!! you are fantastic... no words...
Damn, that vocal leading up to the last part being " . . Voom!" at 1:15 , damn, does that hit a spot in my soul! (I don't speak the language and I don't know what he's singing about there, I wish I did, it sounds like the emotion is joyful or thankful, possibly weary?) That exact combination of those 4 chords playing simultaneously, wow. What IS it about choral music that seems to strikes people universally on so much deeper a level? Man, is it cool!!
it's a song about Love and Charity, you've hit it right on the head. it's Latin, which I don't speak, but we're singing it this autumn in our Chamber Choir, so we have the translation in our sheet music. I totally agree, when we first listened to the recording I listened without looking at the translation because it isn't just the words, it's the voice that makes the song a true piece of music.
+Bee Lovesquads thanks bee! any chance you might post or direct me to that translation? I wish you luck on your performance, break a leg! 😎 Hey B, if you'd like to hear something even more moving, go to youtube & put in Triumph time Canon. I HIGHLY recommend you listen to this with headphones, you'll get the full experience. it's one of the most amazing acapella pieces I've ever had the joy to hear, I promise you'll not regret taking the time, please let me know if you do & what you think! 😀
Thanks so much! and that sounds lovely, I'll take a listen as I finish noting the translation to you!
"Ubi caritas et amor, Deus in est." -- "Where charity and love are, God is there."
"Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor." -- "Christ's love has gathered us into one."
"Exultemus, et in ipso lucundemur." -- "Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him."
"Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum." -- "Let us fear and let us love the living God."
"Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero." -- "And may we love each other with a sincere heart."
+Bee Lovesquads wow, your so kind & generous with your time to a total stranger, I'm impressed & flattered by your charity. :-P You have my word you'll be very happy you took the time to find & watch the video (I wish I knew how to include links in these text areas). :-(
I want to reiterate honeybee about listening to it with a pair of headphones if your able, it's literally as big a difference as say being asked out to the prom by the homecoming King, or a horny 80 year suffering from incontinence nicknamed 'Spots' because of all the liver spots covering his exterior! Both get you to the prom, but one provides an ENTIRELY different experience & enjoyment than the other! ;-)
And please, I'm so intruqued what a younger person like yourself will feel/think about this special & difficult of a performance, & hopefully will be as blown away as I was by its power, so if you could, please let me know what u thought. Rik Emmett has a lifelong background & passion of choir, & indirectly introduced me to it through his music, which has grown to 1 of my greatest passions. B-)
So glad that there are still people like you out there. Who are kind to everyone and just spend a little bit of their time to make someone else a great day. So much love to both of you, you really made my day. (Sorry for the bad english)
YAAAS, this is on my Top 10 favorite songs for choir and I basically had an eargasm.
