--- ABOUT
Biebl's best-known work is his Ave Maria (1964), which sets portions of the Angelus as well as the Ave Maria. The piece was brought to the United States by the Cornell University Glee Club in 1970. The ensemble met Biebl while on tour in Germany, during a recording session at a radio network where Biebl was music director. Conductor Thomas A. Sokol was given a number of Biebl's works, premiering them after returning home. The Ave Maria quickly gained popularity, most notably after becoming part of the repertoire of Chanticleer. Although it was originally scored for male voices, after "Ave Maria" became popular the composer himself rearranged the piece for SATB and SSA choirs as well.
I remember singing this with my high school choir my senior year (1997). Tenor. The school is very old... great acoustics in the performance hall. Our choir was the best choir to this day that I have been a part of. Our director/teacher was incredible at getting everyone to blend into a single voice. I wish she could be cloned to teach other choirs. This was by far my favorite song to sing. Sounded so amazing that we began to cry from being filled with so much emotion. Bravo to this grouping!
I can't listen to this without crying... this is everything that music is and should be
Neither do I!
Fact.
So proud to have worked with this group. The hearts of every one of you is equal or bigger than the size of your musical talent! And Julien, thanks for hosting this and setting up the donations. Can't wait to put smiles on these children's faces :)
Will always come back to this
hi , i have watch your video, You know what, on May 15th 2015, my school will be singing this song in Hail Virgin Mary concert. My school joined with all Catholic school in Bogor, Indonesia. That's a first time which all catholic school joined to make a big concert with theme ave maria. You're very good and you inspire us to sing the best. Thank u before and God Bless You .
This is a great illustration of the universality of the Latin language. No matter country your are from the Latin is the same everywhere.
Michael Wise hehe hmmm I’m guessing they had to agree on pronunciation because Latin is actually pronounced differently in many places. There is a lot of debate of certain sounds depending on where you’re from.
Michael Wise, I agree.
@@DanielleCrookMusic creo que la pronunciación depende sobre todo de que sea texto clásico o texto eclesiástico. Éste es texto eclesiástico. Los textos eclesiásticos deberían pronunciarse de la misma forma en todo el mundo
This is the Angelus in song -A Catholic prayer said at 6am,12 noon and 6pm "The Angel of the Lord Declared unto Mary and she conceived of the Holy Ghost" followed by the Hail Mary then "Mary said""Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done unto me according to Thy will" ..Hail Mary..then "and the Word(Jesus Christ)was made flesh and dwelt amongst us" followed by a final Hail Mary. Astoundingly beautiful made perfect because of its subject matter! Ave Maria!
I recall singing this in 2005 as a sophomore in high school with the county chorus. We started off the concert with "Salvation is Created" with the entire choir surrounding the auditorium and then followed it up with this song. The whole thing was ended with "The Awakening". Most of what we sang that year was sacred music. It was the first time I sang with a big choir and it had a tremendous effect on me. I still remember most of the tenor part of the entire body of music for that concert its so ingrained in me.
Blitz350 3 fantastic songs !
I like the graphic with the globe, locating each singer.
So many of my favorite a capella singers, all together in an uplifting and reverent hymn -- great any time of year, but especially with Christmas only days away. . .
How am I supposed to do anything after hearing all of you sing so beautifully. I just closed my eyes and let the music take me. You must be angels.
I sang bass in this arrangement in highschool honor choir; and still y'all bring me to tears. Closest to god I've ever been; Thankyou.
Magnificent!!
Once again proving music is the univeral language that brings people together!
The young lady from S. Africa has a very pretty, almost angelic, voice
When I watch this video, and others made with choirs of people from around the world, it makes me cry. There is so much division, mistrust and hatred between countries - even between the people groups of individual countries -, instigated by some national leaders who feel this is what they must do in order to advance their own countries' welfare (or their own power and fame). I love hearing the blend of these beautiful voices and seeing the arrow on the map pointing to where each one is coming from.
This recording is being really useful to my choir students. Thanks a lot !
Glad we could help! :)
This is my favorite version of Ave Maria. Yay for Biebl.
Angelic choir. God bless each and every one of you🙏🙏🙏
Great performance. A true global voice of humanity. I salute you all talented vocalists.two thumbs up
Succinct and seraphic convocation, bliss abounds! Love the soprano voice, and the bearded guy has the voice of an angel. Wonderful song, grand songsters!
Are you meaning my soprano voice? :D Thanks! You can listen to more on my channel.
Enrico is the bearded guy - he has such a stunning voice, it's from another world. Glad you enjoyed our song! xx
***** According to the video, it's from Italy. (sorry)
But yeah, he's really awesome
Bravi bravissimi dall'Italia. Mio padre ci ha lasciati pochi giorni fa e oggi proveremo a cantarla al suo funerale. Dio vi benedica!
The best practice track for Biebl's Ave! Have listened to this for years, and can only hope to imbue my part with the same reverence, care, and resultant beautiful sound!
I've never heard this version of the Ave Maria before. What a way to discover it - beautifully done by people thousands of miles apart.
Merci pour ce moment de grâce.
Je dédie votre talent sur cette chanson à tous ceux qui ont perdus des proches, des amis...
Courage. Vous êtes plus forts de leur amour, joie de vivre, mémoire...
Merci Cloé pour tous vos commentaires élogieux sur mes vidéos. Heureux que mes vidéo vous plaisent !
@@JulienNeel De rien, merci à vous surtout de nous émerveiller et de nous partager votre talent. Belle et longue carrière à vous.
Heavenly sounds!!! 🎶 Thank you for your wonderful work to do this… I (happily) sing/ sang professionally, in a small group, in the southern portion of the USA; alas, never was privy to this glorious piece… SO glad for your exquisite singing!!!
Keep it UP! Cooked Goose 🎵🎶
Goosebumps! South Africa - represent!
I'm a long-time fan of Julien, Enrico, and Julie -- and now there are more for me to love! Julien, thanks for your note about iTunes; I hadn't known that, and will not forget it.
Thanks! The video editing was done in Final Cut, and the rotating globe was put together with iMovie.
Deep´spiritual and beatiful versión of ángelus. God bless you for ever Mr Julien Neel
that alto singer is amazing. the sopranos have such a bright cheerful quality in their voice. it's so awesome!
Aww, thanks! (from the alto)
this is beautiful . I felt it piercing right Into my heart.
I remember listening to a recording of this that was recorded inside a large cathedral. That place has the best acoustics for songs like this. The echo and resonance are so perfect!
This is amazing!!!
Wow! Bellissima! Fantastic! Thank you all for sharing. Outstanding work.
Thank you for all your nice messages Sonya, much appreciated. :)
Love singing this piece....a big choir clashing with a smaller group....beautiful
Très émouvant de voir des chanteurs du monde entier réunis par la magie du net pour une cause charitable. C'est de plus ma version préférée de cet Ave Maria de Biebl.
This gives me goosebumps and tears in my eyes! Have played it on repeat for a while now. I am from South Africa and my choir did a version of this piece and hearing this beautiful song with your very beautiful voices evoked a whole bunch of emotions in me. Thank you, each one of you for the fantastic work you have put into this. It is amazing. Congratulations and God bless!
Wow. That's all I have. I was totally and completely enthralled. Just beautiful. Thank you all for your participation and collaboration. Really, really wonderful.
Even if I could sing in a choir like this I wouldn't be able to get though it because it makes me tear up every time.
Ecce anghelis in terra! Gratia plurima vobis dico!
Just perfect.
I could hear this 1.000.000 times and I'm shure I would want to hear it again.
you got the same logo as me (on an app called music maker jam)
It doesn't matter how often i listen to this...it always warms my heart! Even its almost 2 1/2 years old, i am still loving this, especially the last 20 seconds with the "Amen"-Part. Goosebumps all over my body!
This was my great grandmothers favorite church song/ prayer
This is gorgeous i think she would have loved it
Wow that is amazing.
Overwhelming, Thanks be to God .
I thoroughly enjoyed this performance. Reminiscent of my choir boy days in my native Germany and college choirs in which I performed long ago. Now that I'm a barbershopper, I can truly appreciate this level of professionalism. Thank you Julien Neel.
Thanks Thilo. Everyone in the group made this possible. :)

As a bass singer, I love the amount of low notes in this song, especially the low Eb at the bottom
My absolute favorite of all the Ave Marias! We sang this in my choir when I was in high school. That was almost 10 years ago and I still remember my part and the lyrics. Its amazing how your mind holds onto something so beautiful. Thank you for doing this.
I've looked for ages for an SATB version of this gorgeous piece and this is by far the best I've found. Kudos on an outstanding job.
There's a performance by the group Voces8 that I think is maybe even better than this
IM THE REAL MICHAEL
I love this song so much. I love how the choir sang this song. I could clearly hear each vocal part. They each stood out but they blended with each other to make a wonderful sound. Thank you for this.
In corona times, it got almost normal... But this project is 7 years old! Wow, congratulations 🎉😍
Usually Julien steals the show in videos in which he sings with others but this time it was totally the beautiful south african singer.
Great choice, I had never heard this version of Ave Maria before, it is absolutely stunning!
Great song love the voices, did it in my choir 2016 and it's remained as one of my favorite songs to sing every now and again.
Thank you for the kind words. :)
Feel free to download our song for free (see video description). Any donation you make will go to the Ekhukanyeni Children's home, a South African charity.
made me cry. I've felt really lonely recently, and this made me feel better thank you.
If you you would like to hear something equally sweet and soothing, Google: "Brother James’s Air - Mormon Tabernacle Choir"
I'm glad our recording helped you to feel better. I hope you continue to do well.
My wife and I absolutely love this piece. Thanks for sharing with the world.
The beauty of this sacred music and your interpretation cannot be described by the words of human language, as it speaks to our souls (spirits).
that bass is solid!, the piece is so lovely, I must urge our director to include this in our repetoire!!!!. wonderful, just wonderful!!! thank you
On another note, i feel compelled to listen to this every day now. Its just so peaceful.
We are doing this piece for my symphonic band. It is so beautiful. We will be singing the first verse then playing the piece along with solos from our euphonium and our French horn players.
Kxhsjxcd Skjxjx Are you from park vista?
Non ho parole... Incredibile esecuzione... Complimenti..
This is beautiful. I love the clarity and gentleness of the approach.
Awesome.
I sing in an italian choir.
I'm enchanted from this clear and perfect execution.
I play and replay and every time i hear something of beautiful and new in yours voice.
It It's amazing. God bless you all!
I sang this with my much-beloved choir over ten years ago. It gave me chills to listen to it again. We were a diverse group, too, from all over the world, so the fact that you were all singing from disparate corners of the planet resonated with me muchly.
Also, I downloaded the hell out of this song because it's goddamned astonishing.
Thank you for your donation, supporting actively is what makes all this worthwhile. :)
Absolutely gorgeous. Well done all of you.
Thank you Richard. :)

The woman from South Africa singings a brilliant alt...
Watching this in light of the COVID era... wow... tears man.
Never heard it in B flat before! Certainly makes it harder for us low basses to do an octave on the final chord. Dammit, if I have to croak to sing this note I'll do it!
It's not that low 😂
Nicolau Sobrosa ikr😂
MY LIFE!!!!!
Comeon haha
@@NicolauFernandoFerreiraSobrosa he meant go down to a low Bb1
So sweet. This one just gives me shivers. You all have wonderful voices. I direct a choir in Ottawa. Have been for 37 years now and this is one of the songs we're doing in our Spring line-up. It'll be a concert of all sacred music, all Latin, from Machaut's mass to present day contemporary sacred. Thank you for feeding my musical spirit and the spirit of thousands of others with this amazing interpretation. Congrats to all of you.
I have no money right now, but I still donated 5 Euros. There is no reason not to pay that much money for such a beautiful rendition of a beautiful song, no matter what the destination of the money ultimately is.
Just beautiful, enough said!
The way you've captured this song with all of your talents left me breathless. One word AMAZING
Julien and family, absolutely wonderful. Thank you! Thinking of contributing to the cause as we certainly need to promote the arts. My father was a Band Director here in the States so I grew up singing and playing music. Now my son carries on the art form as he too is a Band Director here in Iowa. Remember Julien as you progress don't choose the fights you can win, choose the fights that NEED to be fought. AND, thank Lafayette for me!!!!
i love this song. i did this last year in my high school choir. and being able 2 hear you're sound as a whole is amazing. i wish i could sing with you guys. it was just so amazing. thank you guys for making the videos that you do.
I can't stop watching. Sublime!
I've been subscribed to your channel a very long time and love a lot and really like alot of the pieces youve done whether done as writtin or tweaked the songs to fit you and/or the other people you've sang with. I've never been a fan of most ave maria pieces not because they aren't good and well writtin pieces but because most recordings I've heard of it, I've never been a fan of until now. I know its done as written but the smaller choir aspect sheds a new light (i feel smaller choirs are the best in general) for me on a song that was never all that exciting for me. To make a long winded comment short. You've gotten one of your fans to appreciate a song they never used to like and gained a ton more respect (not that it means much) for what you do. Thank you
Thanks for the kind words Peter, much appreciated. :)

I Love the way you smile while singing.
just found it and it's great.. people around the world who (as i assume) don't know each other sing a song together for kids in south africa.
This was really heavenly to listen to. I could have clised my eyes and be sitting somewere and feel really happy listening to this. Really beautiful and soothing! You did more than great. Fantastic job! ;D
Thank you. :)

Let's turn music into toys for kids who don't have them.
Marvelous music, marvelous collaboration. Wish the world worked the way you vocal artitsts do. A great concept, a great performance. Please bring us more of this, millions of people around the world yearn for such wonderful collaborations, such enthralling music, such moments when boundaries fade away, we are all one.
I find this particular rendition of Ave Maria easy to learn compared to the other renditions that I have listened to, also it helps to have the lyrics to sing along with, which I found online in Latin with the English translation.
This makes me so happy.
Wow. The musicality. The presentation. Wow. I can't keep up with you guys.
Perfect. Stunning. Heart-shattering. This had me in tears the first time I heard it! My husband and I listen to your music with our four children before bed time most nights

Hi alenajingle. If you like to sing, please do not let religious music or churches stop you.
I dislike religion much but I do sing religious music in a choir.
I do not want to perform during a service though, but singing in a church can be wonderful for its acoustics.
If you like music for what it can mean, you can not ignore religious music.
There is so much religious music that is beautiful and touching my heart, I love to be part of it. This Bieble piece is wonderful, even when I do not want to know about its religious nature.
I think you misunderstood me lol. I meant I already sing acapella in church, but I'd like to sing with an acapella group outside of church :)
Gorgeous. I have the chills.
Happy you enjoyed it. :)
Please consider making a donation, so our musical efforts can put smiles on kids faces at the Ekhukanyeni Children's Home.
Stunning you guys. Absolutely stunning. Proof that you don't need a huge ensemble to pull this piece off. Bravo!
I played this for my 14 year old who tried to convince me what he was listening to was 'real music'! :p After I played this for him he changed his mind lol! Absolutely stunning...it gave me chills, and I had to listen with my eyes closed, I couldn't help it. Please don't stop! Fan from Canada.
Delighted you enjoyed it! :)
If you wish to encourage more such creations, you can put a little something in my tip jar: patreon.com/trudbol Thanks! :)
***** I just saw this reply when I came back to listen to your song! If anyone deserves something in the tip jar its you lol...if I wasn't so broke as a student I would. Good luck with the charity work and I really wish you all well!
I was thinking the exact same thing!
That was beautif
Who can possibly dislike this? 38 thumbs down? This performance gave me shivers. Bravo.
That truly was beautiful to listen to, bravo all of you.
Seven years later and this is still one of my favorite videos of all time :)
Julien et les belles voix,
Thank you so much. This beautiful piece is really something special. It is up there with the very best. Angelic!
Herr Biebl would be very proud of the extra dimension you have given his work.
Bravo!
Tim
Actually, Whitacre was the first to formally call it a "virtual choir". Barbershoppers were doing this years before EW put together the VC formally. (ref: FinneyLee and Nick Brown doing a barbershop tag in '07 and VC wasn't formally instituted until 2010).
I love this Ave Maria. If you need a Brazilian soprano some day, please call me! I’m an early music lover!
This music is readily available. A quick search on the internet for "Ave Marie Franz Biebl" will bring up several dealers you can purchase from. Be sure to check the voicing. It is available for men only, women only, as well as combined voices. Thank you for your kind comments :)
MAGNIFIQUE!!!!!
