Heaven probably sounds more Middle Eastern, considering Christianity is a Middle Eastern, Semitic religion, despite Catholicism's heavy European pagan influence.
paper kay - talent, maybe, but singing like this (read: “genuine singing”) takes much training, disciplined practice, and years of high level experience.
@paper kay, on youtube, insta or any plattforms you will often find perfect moments, filmed many times and cutted perfectly. but its hard work (filming and performing)! this group exists for 15 years, so they had a long way with performances and training and studying music and singing.
singing is legit a fitness thing! a lot of it comes down to having enough air so you're never struggling, which means you need good lung capacity and good breathing technique. I even have to watch when I eat, so that my stomach isn't too full or too empty, otherwise my lungs don't expand as far! (I'm not a professional or anything lol, just studied a little bit of music + in a student choir)
The moment they sang their first note, I was completely enchanted at how incredible, almost angelic, their vocals are... never have I imagined that it is possible to be controlling ones vocals like that... I ended up listening 3 more times... great job ladies... wishing you all the best from Singapore...!
Same. Having listened to a lot of choral music over the years and sung in a few groups myself, I've come to appreciate how there is an additional dimension to a vocal group which is not just talent, practice and skill, but the selection and matching of the members' voices to each other. You can have two people with amazing, brilliant voices, incredible talent and skill, and vast experience, but their tones might just not match. This group is exception not only for their performance but for how well they've matched their voices.
anything written by ola gjeilo is so amazing. i had the amazing opportunity to sing at carnegie hall with ola gjeilo and it was just such a surreal experience.
Isabella Lupescu i am going to a choral festival in prague in july 2021(postponed a year)and the sunrise mass by him is being performed. we will be performing rutters mass of the children though
This part 1:03 - 1:30 gives be the chills every single time. That harmony (or however it is called) between the soprano and low alto is so beautiful. It is as if the coolest gothic cathedral was transformed into a human voice.
It's so heartbreaking to listen to good pieces on UA-cam sound bad, so coming across this was amazing. I felt close to as moved as I could have been live. Thank you!
OMG the dissonance at at 2:09 and the silence and the entrance at 2:19. Just makes my heart sing. The rests are oft neglected, but you did a beautiful job.
I just got back from a tour with the Norwegian Ladies Chorus (Sons of Norway Leif Erickson Lodge). The beauty of a capella singing like this is being able to tune each chord to perfection. Hearing this when we sang, and when our host choruses sang, was a heartbreakingly beautiful experience! We sang Ole Gjeilo’s ‘Seasons’, just amazing!
Exquisite. Close to perfection. They seem to have complete telepathy with each other. The soprano entry on "pulchra es' at 3:29, the most beautiful pianissimo. Words fail.
Es ist zum weinen schön. Und jedesmal, wenn ich es höre denke ich, es sind Sphärenklänge...... Wunderbar arrangiert, mit hochprofessionellen Sängerinnen!! Danke dafür!! ❤️
It feels that I spent my entire day listening to that music and I still have to go back to it. This is so amazingly performed. It has been a long time since I didn't hear such a marvelous, honest and touching performance.
This is the best version I've heard. That suspension between 0:52 and 1:03 has me tearing up everytime!!! Vielen vielen dank Mädels, außerordentlich gut gesungen!!!!
Thank you for showing actual facial expressions! =D Too many ensembles sing beautifully but then look dead inside and that subtracts from their performance. Also, well done on this beautiful piece - you really did it justice.
In this crazy world we are living in there are just a few things left that can still make you proud for being human.. This is one of them! Thanks for upload.
I am from Iran and this song has been one of my favorites for years. It's not earthly, it's divine. I want to immagine these transcendental voices would one day sing the hymn of freedom of Iran.
I support a charity which helps people to worship free from persecution, including those who have had to flee from Iran. Whatever your faith, may God bless you and bring freedom to your country.
The curtains separating earth from heaven open just a bit. A beam of pure light shines through, confirming that there is a marvelous reality beyond this realm.
The way your voices harmonize should be illegal, it's too beautiful!! I can't get enough of 1:05, the contrast between the highest and the lowest parts is too majestic. Also altos, your low notes make me cry every time, I'll never be able to sing this wonderfully ;D
As mentioned earlier in a post- That dissonant drop in the chord between 2:02 and 2:10- It just pauses time in the most beautiful way- That is precisely where my heart lives. I haven't heard that part pronounced quite like that by any other artists. Wonderful!
Wow, I'm just crying my eyes out here. It went straight into my heart. I've known and loved this piece for a few years now, but this performance is absolutely beautiful, perhaps the most beautiful one I've heard.
They’re all so crucial to delivering this song so beautifully. But the last two holding that note and switching off without the note dying is on another level! Do they do concerts because shut up and take my money! 😅
Einfach nur wow. Danke an Marie und Viola, durch euch hab ich sjaella kennen gelernt und hab meine Liebe zu den Stücken von Ola Gjeilo entdeckt! Ihr klingt so unfassbar gut! Es braucht keinen großen Chor wenn jede Stimme einzeln sorein und klar ist und sich mit den anderen so harmonisch verbindet!
This amazes me on so many levels. Just how beautiful their voices work together - each and every one pronounced and strong, but so gentle at the same time and interwoven. Sometimes i hear clerically inspired pieces like this where even a soft sopran comes through so much stronger and everything else gets toned down to very pleasant noise. The clarity is beautiful and I enjoyed looking at the expressions of the singers. Thank you for this video and sharing such a beautiful version of the song.
Have recommended this (and the Ubi Caritas) to our choir director. I only hope that we -- a mediocre but earnest choir in an Episcopal church the Boston area -- can do it justice.
I'm so grateful for all of you, this piece has become a refuge for me. I like to play it on a loop so that my room is decorated with the sound of angels. All my love and thanks.
Our choir performed this piece in a prestigious competition, and we won in the regional round. One of my favorite pieces of Ola Gjeilo definitely, aside from Ave Generosa.
that alto in white is really dropping it there :O amazing
Julian Hombrebueno what is her name????? :’(
@@zuzannapiotrowska9647 Helene Erben
@@stevenbauers51 is it the one in white?
Isn't the one in white the other soprano? Seems like sopranos are on the outermost edges.
Aldebaran I believe from left to right is soprano to alto
if this isn't what heaven sounds like i'm going to be so disappointed
It has to be better
Yes, it would be even better
Heaven probably sounds more Middle Eastern, considering Christianity is a Middle Eastern, Semitic religion, despite Catholicism's heavy European pagan influence.
@@sayckeone cool cool, middle eastern music is good too
I wonder is God a soprano or alto?
It's spooky how some people can sing. I can't even talk well, or even whistle. Like they have a whole extra set of lungs or something. It's magical.
paper kay - talent, maybe, but singing like this (read: “genuine singing”) takes much training, disciplined practice, and years of high level experience.
Its just breathtaking isnt it ,no instruments or anything just voices
That makes me feel good. Thank you.

@@yourfriendlykillernextdoor7592 why do you mean by this? This piece really channels the angelic realm for me
and what do you think of us?

A reminder, that beautiful things exist, despite the efforts of some to pretend otherwise.
The first time I listen the SSAA version, it's so amazing.

WOW!! Lucky you!!!

This reminded me of Narnia, such beautiful voices.
It reminded me of lord of the rings fir similar reasons 💓🤗
Anyone else had tears rolling in the first opening line? 😭.. so beautiful and peaceful 💯💙🔥🙏
Si beau!
Those empty seats... I wish I was sitting in one of those to watch this performance live...
This part 1:03 - 1:30 gives be the chills every single time. That harmony (or however it is called) between the soprano and low alto is so beautiful. It is as if the coolest gothic cathedral was transformed into a human voice.
It's so heartbreaking to listen to good pieces on UA-cam sound bad, so coming across this was amazing. I felt close to as moved as I could have been live. Thank you!
every singer is killing it but the alto had me shivering
Ola Gjeilo must be so proud...
It feels like a liquid hug of honey around my soul. Thank you 😊😭
Northern Lights. My greatest discovery on UA-cam since Voces8. This is a Treat.
OMG the dissonance at at 2:09 and the silence and the entrance at 2:19. Just makes my heart sing. The rests are oft neglected, but you did a beautiful job.
YES!
it just sounds like a ringing in the ears! the animosity! make it STOP! DX

I loved that the soprano & the alto is singing the same here 1:04
The Alto in white sounds amazing!
The final few measure with the sustained "pedal tone" as the outside voices come back in are absolutely chilling!
Exquisite. Close to perfection. They seem to have complete telepathy with each other. The soprano entry on "pulchra es' at 3:29, the most beautiful pianissimo. Words fail.

And each phrase a gentle shiver down my spine. I guess happiness feels like that. Thank you.
2:07 That harmony. I cried. 2:19 That perfect timing and jump of key, found by all of them to perfection. I sobbed.
I love how they are so confident in their parts that they can stand in mixed formation. It's heavenly and it's so moving for sure.
This is the best version I've heard. That suspension between 0:52 and 1:03 has me tearing up everytime!!! Vielen vielen dank Mädels, außerordentlich gut gesungen!!!!
All credit to these performers for such a heavenly sound, but also to the architect of that church - what amazing accoustics!
Alto pride!!
Thank you for showing actual facial expressions! =D Too many ensembles sing beautifully but then look dead inside and that subtracts from their performance. Also, well done on this beautiful piece - you really did it justice.
I felt like I was transported to Heaven. My very core remembered the God I forgot in the noise. Amen.
Now that is the pinnacle of twenty million years of evolution! The most versatile musical instrument ever. Beautiful. Thank you
Northern Lightの音源を探していてこの動画に辿り着き、衝撃を受けました。そこからSjaellaの大ファンで、他の曲も繰り返し聴いています。
生でも聴いてみたいです♥ぜひ日本に来てください！
I'm only responsible for half of the views. I wish I could like this over and over and over again.

Forth, and fear no darkness!
And the search for better headphones begins after this masterpiece!
Para mí, la música es la prueba de que la eternidad existe.
Gracias por esta preciosa versión.
Sublime Masterpiece, and sublime interpretation. Heavenly chords
The curtains separating earth from heaven open just a bit. A beam of pure light shines through, confirming that there is a marvelous reality beyond this realm.
What a great performance. Not only in terms of musicianship - which was brilliant - but their technique is phenonemal.
Ethereal. Breathtaking. Haunting.
The way your voices harmonize should be illegal, it's too beautiful!! I can't get enough of 1:05, the contrast between the highest and the lowest parts is too majestic.
Also altos, your low notes make me cry every time, I'll never be able to sing this wonderfully ;D
im floored. humans continue to amaze me everyday. i and the world benefits from these girls singing

i clicked on this by accident but i am very glad i did so
Thsi is so well done! They make it seem so effortless but this piece is so hard breathing-wise!

This made my soul ugly cry....
I will never get tired of this
Beautiful setting
Beautiful women
Beautiful voices

never seen such beautiful voices😇 I've listened to this for so many times!!!!!

Utterly exquisite.
This is otherworldly - fantastic job.

god, that high note at 2:00 almost brought me to tears. I love listening to this group sing so, so much
No pude dejar de sonreír mientras escuchaba el vídeo. Simplemente me sentía muy feliz, no sé cómo explicarlo.
That Soprano nailed that ending.
Simply wonderful. I am an atheist - but you make me want to believe in something....
Belle impression ! merci!
So perfectly timed and blended. An endless sea of sound. Thank you for this beautiful performance. You guys are amazing!
I've just fallen in love!!! Sublime and beautiful. Greetings from Venezuela.
This is my favorite video in the whole world
Still my favorite video in the whole world

Me too, or at least in top 5 ever, just sublime
Still coming back here daily :)
Now I watch it here and listen to it on Spotify
Without Words!🙏
I love the Alto 2 lady so damn much!!!!
I am sitting here at work just in awe...i have never heard perfection before other than the cries of my daughters when they were born...amazing...
What a magnificent performance!
Absoutely great!
De belles voix comme celles-là avec une telle pureté et une si grande musicalité, c'est rare !
Voix d'anges qui émerveillent mes oreilles !
By far one of my favorite choral pieces... it’s so difficult in a chamber setting but WOW they killed it
Beautiful and mesmerizing. Wonderful and thrilling to see such angelic voices sing together. You should upload more works!
Très belle interprétation de ce magnifique morceau qui nous vient de Norvège !
*That breathing, that breathing!!!!!* 🤯🤯🤯😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍♥️
A beautiful sound in a building with a wonderful acoustic quality, how lovely.
I live for pieces performed this well
Where has this been all my life? Stunning!
I can't explain the ecstasy that explodes in my soul 💕 listening to this harmony
Have recommended this (and the Ubi Caritas) to our choir director. I only hope that we -- a mediocre but earnest choir in an Episcopal church the Boston area -- can do it justice.
Superb.Thanks to all.
Ashtounding crystal sound
Wow! beautiful song done to perfection.
NO words Just tears of love
Thank you
I'm so grateful for all of you, this piece has become a refuge for me. I like to play it on a loop so that my room is decorated with the sound of angels. All my love and thanks.
Sheer perfection.
The soprano and the alto has a perfect tone together when singing that unison part. Thanks, I love your rendition of this piece.
