[@selgeaus]

This really reminds me of Lotti's cruxifixus with all those gorgeous dissonance and resolution.

[@stjacquesremi]

Lotti's crucifixus and a bit of Pergolesi stabat mater dolorosa. that's how choral music must be written

[@drewyork384]

Reminds me of John Wilbye's Draw on Sweet Night

[@TradOrganist]

Me too haha

[@ykalantzis]

Thanks Andrea for posting this marvellous piece...

[@fideliowald8736]

Wunderschön

[@TheMiguellascano]

Son Maestros!!!!!!

[@michaelmuller1532]

the music is for 8 voices, but it is not performed by the a capella group Voces8

[@AndreaScalia81]

Sure: sung by Voces8. You can find all information in the InfoBox of this video.

[@AndreaScalia81]

Doch, ganz sicher! Du kannst alle Informationen über diese Audioaufnahme im Infobox dieses Video. Außerdem glaube ich, dass hier in UA-cam auch ein Video dieses Liedes der Gruppe "Voces8" gibt.

[@FriendofBill-2005]

This is a lovely choir, but if it really is Voces8, they sure have improved over the years

[@andiheinrich2830]

... and a lot!

[@ellenxsw]

means 8 voices in this case

[@FriendofBill-2005]

@@ellenxsw thanks for the clarification!

[@kibeomiekey8233]

I really want to sing this song...

[@johnwickson3412]

Ship shape and Bristol fashion.

[@jlrv16]

it acts as a masage

[@sophiealabaster7415]

Is this really Voces8?

[@michaelsullivan499]

No, it's not. Here's the actual recording, in case you haven't seen it: ua-cam.com/video/VM2xHJG2uJk/v-deo.html

[@PhosphorusXL]

@@michaelsullivan499 It is Voces8 but a very early iteration I think - the CD is from 2008. If you compare some of the voices in this with the voices of other recordings at that time theres a lot of similarities. I think its just not Voces8 as we currently know them but Voces8 nonetheless!

[@christopherdavies7758]

Somehow that comment got added to the wrong recording: please go to ua-cam.com/video/VM2xHJG2uJk/v-deo.html

[@Rednaxela137]

So much better! The bass 2 and sopranos didn’t make overpower everyone else

[@michaelsullivan499]

This is not Voces8

[@yuehchopin]

Stil von 1840? Große Mut zu schreiben! Hoch Achtung.

[@nemianyamele2265]

...too much auto tune for me...

[@barnabysmith9629]

I don't hear auto-tune here. If it was auto-tuned it would be perfect I'd have thought. It's good, but not perfect. Here's a newer version ua-cam.com/video/VM2xHJG2uJk/v-deo.html

[@michaelsullivan499]

There isn't autotune, though. It's also not the group Voces8, who sing it far better: ua-cam.com/video/VM2xHJG2uJk/v-deo.html

[@Rednaxela137]

If there was auto tune soprano 1 wouldn’t sound so screeching until they sing the really high notes and the bass 2 wouldn’t sound so forced on the low notes
