TEXT
Et in unum Dominum, Jesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum, et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula, Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero, genitum, non factum, consubstantialem Patri, per quem omnia facta sunt, qui propter nos homines et propter nostram salutem descendit de coelis.
TRANSLATION
And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, light of light, true God of true God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father by who all things were made: who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven. - บันเทิง
I've never heard Katie so featured.. WHAT an exquisite voice! Barnaby and Katie blend beautifully. Thanks so very much!
Thank you for this incredilble recording of Et In Unum. For me it is the most beautiful recording of this wonderful piece of music and I know many of them, because I am a musician too. Today I burried my sister, my only relative and your recording comforts me more than everything else. Thank you so much and greetings from hamburg, germany.
What a treat to hear these middle voices so prominently and beautifully featured! Exquisite!
Katie we so seldom get to hear your beautiful, strong voice. You and Barnaby sound great together....more duets from the two of you please.
So lovely to hear Katie’s upper range. Glorious!
Indeed! That seemingly effortless high note at 0:49 struck me with awe!
That top a rings with joy
@@markdejong2309 A brief look to God´s glory!
More Katie. Hidden gem!
Bach is the absolute master. Incredible to see these musicians perform his work so beautifully. The quality is outstanding.
I absolutely love Bach and this interpretation makes me falling deeper.
They all dress and look like ordinary people and then they do extraordinary things. An inspiration to us all!
What an incredible range Katie has! Both voices blend beautifully, and I love the jaunty accompaniment too - bravo!
Yes, the ensemble is wonderful and the voices are beautiful, but would someone please mention the gorgeous playing of the 2 Baroque oboe d'amore players! 😀 👏👏👏👏
The only thing better than a good countertenor is a good countertenor together with a good alto. And nothing, really, is better than Bach.
Hard to argue with that.
She's a mezzo.
@@margaretkuwata6794Mezzo is the operatic designation; alto the choral designation.
It is not only sheer beauty, Barney and Katie seem to live the music they are bringing to us. You can see the joy all the musicians are feeling. The meaning of the words is put forward emotionally so that you can feel the faith of Bach in this excellent performance.
Soli Deo Gloria
Ich bin wieder einmal begeistert von diesen Stimmen, Katie´s und Barney´s Stimmen passen außerordentlich gut zusammen und harmonieren perfekt.👌
I agree about the voices of Katie and Barney. I have to put this on repeat!
Katie manie le vibrato à la perfection. En outre elle jouit d'un bel ambitus. Avec Barnaby ils réalisent le beau mariage de l'alto, qui, ici monte bien haut, et du contre-ténor : pure joie : merci Bach et les musiciens ! En espérant la retrouver dans d'autres pièces, duo ou solo, ce sera avec bonheur 🤗
Very uplifting. It is amazing how each generation of talented musicians can continue to bring new life to a piece written more than 250 years ago, and performed countless times.
So uplifting! Barney and Katie you have such beautiful voices. It’s a rare treat to hear either of you alone😊
Katie! Mesmerizing!
Oh mein Gott.. Bach und VOICES8.. Was für eine Verbindung. Komposition und musikalische Interpretation in allerhöchster Qualität.. Thank you very, very much. I love VOICES8..
sie heissen VOCES8 .... schon immer ....
@@ulrichdannenbaum4472 Jep.. das ist richtig.. sorry..
This could turn me into a Lutheran! Beautiful music!
A beautiful Bach rendering! Great to have Katie's voice showcased so well - a really great alto voice, often rather hidden in the full VOCES8 ensemble. And goes so well with Barnaby's counter-tenor. The baroque players are exquisite too. Altogether a tour-de-force, thank you all.
I love this performance, excellent singers and musicians. Thank you!
It is a joy on this Ash Wednesday to hear JSB sung by two marvelous voices who normally sing interior parts. What a treat! 🙏🏼🙏🏼❤️❤️
Whoa!! Give me more! Barnaby's voice has grown intensely enjoyable for me - a unique timber that adds so much to the music. And what about Katie? Not only a beautiful voice in her own right, but she makes everyone better providing the undertone for so many of Voces8 pieces. Would love to hear Katie solo or duet more - she seems such a happy, delightful person. This duo should produce more and keep Katie in the spotlight!
I hope these people realise how incredibly lucky they are for having the talent and the ability to earn a living by making music as beautiful as this. What a dream!
It wasn't hard work and application then?
@@Tinker1950 roll of the dice! And they don’t get paid nearly as much as they deserve.
Lucky yes, but the work is long and hard. That’s not a complaint; I want to make sure you know that it doesn’t just happen this way. It takes a great deal of work.
@@Tinker1950 of course it is! I am just saying it because I have been studying and taking singing lessons for half my life, and I still do not have what it takes to earn a living on music. And it's my greatest frustration in life.
@@emfox6280 Oh I know that. And I agree that's very unfortunate. However, lots of other professions also do not get paid what they deserve (in my country, notably teachers!!)...
This duo are just unbelieveble amazing. Without Bach the Earth will be like a Mars: desert.
What a flow, what a joy! Barnaby Smith, Katie Jeffries-Harris and the musicians in perfect approach to the spirit of JSB. Thank you very much.
OMG. I listen to them as a whole often but have never realized how wonderful these two voices are individually. Amazing.
Thanks Barney and Katie!
Your voices blend beautifully, doing this heavenly music full justice❤❤ Superb!!!!!
Not only fantastic to listen to, but also beautiful to see how this music is experienced by Katie and Barnaby. Outstanding!!
Sweetest possible version of the sweetest piece in the mass. Love the informal setting, up to and including the first violinist chewing something, maybe sunflower seeds, while performing flawlessly.
Why on earth would it be sunflower seeds
Katie.... just exquisite, so well nuanced, joyful, effortless well beyond her normal alto range, a delight to listen too, especially in tandem with Barnaby.
When I walk past a small group of 10 people in a supermarket, or in a walk in a park, its hard to imagine that they could ever come together and produce such amazing heavenly music and ethereal singing...Wow...never underestimate how amazing people can be. Such a lovely performance from all. Thumbs up and subscribed.
Love ❤️ ❤❤!! These amazing alto voices. Go Katie and Barney 👏👏
Soprano and alto voices. The soprano goes up to a''.
@@herrickinman9303 although it’s written for soprano and alto, Katie is actually an alto, but she manages to get the soprano part done beautifully!
Agradecendo aos músicos envolvidos. Dueto perfeito. "E em um só Senhor, Jesus Cristo, o Filho unigênito de Deus, gerado de Seu Pai antes de todos os mundos, Deus de Deus, luz da luz, Deus verdadeiro de Deus verdadeiro, gerado, não feito, sendo uma só substância com o Pai por quem todas as coisas foram feitas: quem por nós homens e para nossa salvação desceu do céu." ALELUIA!
No tuxedos (or powdered wigs), just an incredible group of musicians in comfy clothes - bringing this wonderful music to life!
I don't know of an expression of the necessity of beauty for human lives than this exquisite contribution by Barney and Katie! ! The longer they go on doing this the better lives will be for us all. Bach is the building block,...devotion to his contribution is fundamental and devotion a necessary prerequisite.
Dear "VOCES8", it's always delightful, splendid to see you and your hugely beautiful performances, thank you so much for sharing 💖
Congratz Barney and Katie! Splendid performance!❤🎵🎶🎶
Johann Sebatian would be proud of you. As we all are.
Thanks, VOCES8 for letting us share this lovely music. The two voices and the ensemble in perfect harmony. How much poorer the world would have been without J S Bach!
Fabulous. I would love to see Bach's reaction to this. Well done to all who have worked together to produce this beautiful video.
Absolutely beautiful.
Beautiful performance by Barnaby and Katie... I've got goosebumps...
This choir is truly amazing with everything that they do!!!!!!!!
MAGNÍFICO ,precioso dueto cantado por Katie y Barnaby, sus voces se acoplan perfectamente. ❤️👏✨
The best version of this piece I have ever heard 😮
You guys not only perform beautifully but also have a great audio engineer. Shout out to whoever that is.
No more words.... Aboslutely a pure beauty!
Their blend is just marvelous.
Nunca dejo de maravillarme al escucharlos!! Katy tiene una voz increíble!! Hermoso dueto con Barnaby. 👏
Exquisite..No styling--just real. And I love Katie with real hair. Thanks.
Absolutely beautiful - I listened to it 4 times in quick succession! I'm a big fan of VOCES8 as a whole, and it's great to be able to appreciate how brilliant they are as individual performers,
Wunderschön. Vielen herzlichen Dank.
Merci à vous , Bach est le plus grand pour moi .....
Beautiful rendition. At the Dallas Bach Society, we usually had a soprano and countertenor sing this, but we never had such a versatile alto as Katie!
Incredible performance. Et in Unum is one of my favorite Bach pieces, and I'm thankful for every time someone really gives it their all.
I have played the Bach Mass in B Minor several times but, being a French Horn Player, once I was done with the Bass Aria, Quonium Tu Solis Sanctus, the only Horn Obligato part, I usually dozed off, so this wonderful duet aria was a revelation! If I had had soloists as spectacular as Barnaby and Katie, I would surely have made the effort to stay awake!! ;-)
This was so beautiful. So dynamic and at the same time such warmth. Thanks!
After listening to this sublime duet, all is right with the world!
Beautiful. I didn’t want it to stop. Lovely to hear Katie giving full throttle. More!
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: the eight of them, with a band like the Illyria Consort, really ought to record the entire B minor Mass. (I can understand if they feel it would be too tiring to do the piece on a concert tour.)
A perfect way to prepare for Ash Wednesday. Thank you, thank you, all.
Beautiful ! Praise God for these voices! Jesus is Lord and King of Kings ! 🙏❤️
about the Lord and the Kings: could be? who knows? but maybe not. But definitely yes this was beautiful
Masterful composer, singers and players. Thank you all so much for your excellence. Great joy.
It always amazes me when I hear their solo voices outside of the group. Incredible! Voces8 singers are so talented (is if that weren't obvious already) 😉
Would be happy to hear this music at the moment of my dying. Would make it easy.
I might not be the most sophisticated music connoisseur, but to me this is perfect. Perfect. The intonation of the whole ensemble, the dynamics, the stunning dialogue and echo of the two voices. The tempo. The pathos.
It's a text a bit boring (credo in unum dominum, not a lot of poetry there), yet it brings you to tears for the sheer beauty of it, and the execution is so perfect to seem almost transparent, as if the ensemble is not there and the music plays itself.
Glorious !!!!
What can one say in the presence of Bach’s genius? Just awe-inspiring!!
I encountered Herr Bach about 70 years ago, and am still trying to appreciate his genius!!
Brilliant Baroque solo work by Barnaby and Katie! I love watching VOCES8 members in working recording sessions where they are free to gesture to help themselves focus their phrasing!
Yes, and the two oboists are swaying around to the point of being quite disconcerting. Surely they would be more focussed without expending all that extra energy.
@@gwalaus Oboe players are always like that! ;-)
This is sooooo beautiful, I can listen a 1000 times and more .....
had me in pieces... (well it is Ash Wednesday today). Wow, your voices work superbly together
Straordinaria esecuzione! Ricca di grazia e armonia. Le voci si fondono, giocando insieme e la melodia si effonde, diffusa in un'atmosfera magica.
Missa em si menor, a maior obra musical já composta por um ser humano, pode ser que tenha música melhor em outros planetas e galáxias, mas aqui na terra não.
How wonderfully you sing! Words cannot describe it. And with such an orchestra!
Thank you to all the musicians involved in this magnificent performance. What a wonderful performance, absolute perfection and perfect pitch ❤️💙❤️
Love me some Katie and Barnaby. And the Consort is amazing as well. Bach has never sounded this good. Bravo all!!
Sublime!! My favorite duet from the B minor Mass. Barnaby and Katie's vocals are pure fire! I'm always getting ragged for loving baroque played on period instruments - the sound is pure and just 'right'. On a closer look, some of the violins appear modern.
Explain why they ‘appear modern’. I can assure you they are all baroque instruments.
Marvellous voices ! Katie and Barney ! 🥰
Incredibly beautiful performance!
Larmes de joie en ce samedi matin, merci ! 1'56 : le sourire de l' Ange ! 😇
Bravo Katie and Barnaby! So nice to hear you showcased. And what a wonderful orchestra.
Unglaublich klasse!
Merveilleux, quelles voix, qu'en dirait Bach lui-même !!!
Stunning and beautiful, thank you for sharing this piece. Would love to hear Stabat Mater- Pergolesi as we progress towards Easter.
Top class 👍🇬🇧
Bien ! bravo ! pas d'excès , tout dans la simplicité , c'est ainsi que j'aime ce répertoire de J.S Bach .
Wow beautiful duet. Also amazing high note Kate!
Big fan of the combination Alto and Countertenor. Keep up the good work.
It's all in the hands. A delight to watch.
Holy moly, that was spectacular to hear and to see. Frigging awesome!
Wonderful, both the singing and playing.
Bravo Barney, Katie, and the instrumentalists as well. Wonderful d'amore duo!
It can never get better than that.
I'm dying from Joy.
Really
I Absolutely, 100%, totally, without reservation, and with a stupendous sense of certainly want a recording of the entire B minor mass from you guys. I'll send a copy to the Smithsonian for you.
Doesn't get any better than that. Perfection!
Delightful. So nice to hear the contrast between and blend of the two altos. Altos don't often get to shine like this.
Oh and the Illyria Consort sound great too.
Tears would run down Master Bach's cheeks...wonderfull performence...
Someone already said "glorious" - that's perfect!
Thank you and thank J.S.B.! Heaven on earth.
Thank you for superbly channeling Bach..
