    As a Spanish person I’m pretty sure that anyone walking into the church while you were singing wouldn’t be bothered at all. Quite the contrary, they would have really appreciated your gift and probably call over their neighbours to hear you sing in their church :D

      ​@@Indy__isnt_itabsolutely agreed! Definitely God himself was listening the charming voice of this beautiful lady singing this soul elevating, mesmerising and heavenly song. All universe was connected with the soul of all Christianity in that particular moment. Everything was gifted by the almighty to embrace all of us in a hug of life, love, respect, friendship, peace, and united us like family or friends.
      Every time I see and listen to this video mi soul and heart feels refilled with the love of god and all his creation.

    As a lifelong Christian who grew up in church and Christian schools and whose family was prominent in Southern Gospel, I can wholeheartedly attest that this is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard in my life. I stumbled across it last Christmas Day alone, in my deceased mother's home. My parents were dead. My brothers were busy with their families. I felt the pent up loneliness of the holidays. And then I found this. And then later that night, a random couple sitting next to me at a red light caught my attention just to tell me God loves me and that I'm a good man. A block away from my eldest brother's family's house, I broke down and wept. Ever since, I have periodically come back to this lovely video. I love cathedrals and iconography. Sometimes, when I'm low and the dragons slither at my feet, I cue this up and listen. Your voice...thank you. If you're ever in Nashville, I owe you.

We are not Catholic’s but we are Christians and we have taken many people from as far afield as Korea, Mexico and the USA to sing in the round church, to pray and to encourage Father Emiliano.
    If you come this way get in touch, we can help with arrangements and enlighten you to the larger story of a Montefrio that you are now a part of.

      As an ex-Catholic (30 years) and now atheist (20 years), and as a musician (including choral singing) for most of my life, I don’t believe it has anything to do with a god, the holy ghost, or Jesus. Music is its own amazing magic, and those feelings can be evoked by MANY kinds of music. Churches just use them to manipulate people; if you don’t believe me, look up ex-pastors or ex-worship leaders talk in about how it’s done on purpose.
      That said, the emotions and joy are REAL. The magic of the music is real and amazing.

    A few days ago I was installing a hearing loop system in an Episcopal Church in Seattle. The floor was also being tiled so the space was stripped. The acoustics were very live. Once upon a time I sang in The Choir of the West from my University days, and I still have most of my voice. I started singing O Come, O Come, played with the vocal placement a bit on the long vowels for the space then did the whole piece. I kept choking up on the sound of it and that I could still do it (I'm 68). I thanked God my voice was still there and I cried at the sound of singing in the church... it was so much joy. God always speaks to me most clearly through music. I choked up too when I heard your voice.

Like a pilgrim finally making it to a holy site, you traveled far, didn't have time to prepare yourself fully, and offered a prayer to the heavens. Something so simple makes that video so powerful. Regardless of whether or not you make it back there with proper recording devices, the original video will probably always be my favorite.

      In my village, the lead singer role is jealously guarded by a retired school nurse who can't really sing. This doesn't help.
      I've noticed a few thing with Church music. First, some priests tend to really care about the music. They are mostly Guitar Priests. And generally they do it well.
      Next, Church songs tend to be rewritten and rearranged very often. (guitar priests do that too, generally making the note range less wide). Sometimes the rearrangement is done with no regards for how well this sounds. I've seen a song which was clearly written for 3/4 timing sung in 4/4.
      Christmas carols tend to be rewritten too, sadly. These are absolute classics, and it seems our church (the one in my village I mean) avoids the classics. The ones that everyone knows well.
      I've seen the Salve Regina sung (averagely) as far as possible from the Sister Act version. Needless to say, I was disappointed.
      Finally, there are Psalms. Psalms are generally sung on a random, minor melody with a terrible syllable/note ratio. They are translated from hebrew, thus have unconsistent number of feet and nonexistent rhyme. There must exist a way to make them sound good, but this isn't it.
      I Don't blame the choirs, however. Singing during mass is really intimidating. One time, (I was 12), I was to play piano during a psalm, and I trusted myself to do it well, since I had already done piano concerts in Church. But Under the sights of over a thousand people, I failed miserably. My grandma told me "I Don't know who played piano during the mass today, but it wasn't great!". Ouch.

Many of your vocal tones through the song would mesh together as they bounced off the wall so that they created an auditory illusion that I can not describe. Maybe there is a word for it.

I found Evynne cuz of her husband Peter. And I found Peter cuz of some friends who told me about him. So I probably never would have found Malinda if it wasn't for those friends.

    My favorite Christmas carol is O Come Emmanuel and hearing you sing this with your acoustical partner was devine. Seems the spirit was singing back to you. I spent 3 years in Germany with the US Army and I visited many of the large churches which also large reverberation chambers and the sounds are magnificent. And coupled with your beautiful voice, the effects of you and your echo partner caused a very emotional reaction. As a Mormon, I am secure in my faith and always enjoy spiritual music. I would love to hear you sing the Wexford Carol in that church. It would be so awesome. Surely God was listening and well pleased. Thank you for the experience.

  • @AJCoop93
    @AJCoop93 5 років тому +15

    As a Catholic, I found that video that went viral absolutely stunning and deeply touching. Unfortunately, the Catholic Church is in deep turmoil with scandals and a heartbreaking rejection of our artistic tradition. For the past 50 years or so we've almost thrown away most of the Gregorian Chant to the point where the vast majority of Catholic Churches do not use them anymore. You are so lucky to get to learn those hymns like Ave Maris Stella and others that our own hierarchy often rejects.
    Also one thing I would encourage you to do is look into the teachings of the Catholic Church from faithful Catholic institutions. That is REALLY important. I can't even listen to non-Catholics talk about Catholicism because they never get it right. We have had a lot of horrible men in our ranks, but the miracle is that despite the scandals and blotches on our history is that the Theology and Dogmas have remained pure. Catholicism is so SO beautiful, deeply Biblical, logical, profound, mysterious, and glorious. When lived out how it is supposed to be lived out, it brings total intamacy with Christ. It is definitely worth looking into. You might be completely surprised by what you find! God bless!

    I can't thank you enough for this video. You did this beautiful church justice. I love your point about how singing is the closest you can speak to God, and that is so beautiful. As St. Augustine said "He who sings well, prays twice". I think you prayed a million times in those two minutes. The Ave Maris Stella was absolutely gorgeous (I am doing the same in choir, although I already know 2 other versions. Catholic schools, right?:) The O come, o come, Emmanuel held such a deep heaviness in this church. This church has probably been waiting for decades to hear your voice.
    I would watch the heck out of a series that had you traveling to different churches around Europe and singing such songs in them! Probably not realistic, but thought I would just put it out there:)
    God Bless you! Keep singing!
