Outstanding ! It is music like this which redeems the human soul from the tortured insanity of the modern age, and lends a sense of transcendence. Thank you for this.
This performance stopped me in my tracks. Byrd's great lament always reduces me to tears but I thought this quite exceptional with just the right balance of tonal purity and emotional power. Evidence if er needed of of Byrd's technical mastery. Surely the greatest composer of his age,
It makes such a difference to see that you answer your subscribers’ comments. Many vocal groups remain silent. Thankyou so much for this- it’s so appreciated.😊
Absolutely breathtaking! The lyrics and harmonies are amazing! Quite different now because of COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 singing in a virtual choir or singing with masks and physical distancing.
Siglo de Oro thank you for the answer, I looked out where and when, Your concert is in a very beautiful and cute chapel, the organisation has planned two performance sessions, you know when in the afternoon? I’ll be there and I’ll make publicity in my choir,, what a fantastic news,
That's great news! I think it will be around 1600, but I'm not sure it's confirmed yet. We'll look forward to meeting you there though. Thank you for spreading the news to your choir!
@@el7284 Choirs sometimes sing "scrambled" to improve communication between the parts as it means you have close neighbours from as many of the other parts as possible. However, you do lose a lot of the spatial structure of the piece (call/response sections etc) if you do that.

Thanks so much for your comment!
Well said!
Wow! Another polished performance with room for nuances! Guys, you stamped your mark on this gem of a piece!
Thank you Gregory, that's so kind of you!
Madre mía, este Bird es un prodigio. Qué cosa más bonita!
Can do without the vibrato people!
Thank you for posting all this wonderful music on UA-cam.
What would I do without you?
So pleased you're enjoying it! You say all the right things!
Excellent performance. Thank you.
Thanks very much!

Thanks very much for your comment. We agree about Byrd - unequaled!

Love the conductor - fine work, understated. You contribute so much to this beautiful sound!
What a kind comment - thank you very much! (Patrick)
Why is is that performances by very young adults are so superb in this repertoire? What a great account 👏
Thanks ever so much for your kind comment!
Because of their fresh voices. Golden Age, for sure!
Suenan magníficos,y la voz del bajo me parece excepcional; preciosa obra de Byrd, me encanta.
Muchas gracias!
Beautiful sound! Where was it recorded?
Thank you! All Hallows' Gospel Oak, London

Wonderful performance.
Can you tell me how you arranged the mics to "see" everyone around the circle?
Thanks a lot.
Good question - I'm afraid that was the wizardry of Apple and Biscuit appleandbiscuit.com/
Can someone PLEASE explain this standing arrangement to me?
It's a circle.
@@pjie2 I'm crying
I meant the arrangement of the individual parts. It isn't SSAATTBB but an almost random mix

@@pjie2 oh thank you so much. I was losing my mind trying to find the meaning behind the arrangement.
The best performance on u-tube by far!
Most kind, thank you!
Strange F natural in bar 48 😐
Can't hear one there... which edition are you using? And which voice sings the strange F?
Siglo de Oro I think tenor 2 sings an F natural. It just caught my ear.
We'll listen again. Thanks for paying such close attention!
I know that people like the conductor, but when the camera misses the beginnings of "Civitas" and "Sion"...
