MADZ's selection of this song piece was the 'tour de force' of their performance. It had everything the judges would want to hear from the 'pianos' to the 'fortes' requiring a double choir, yet the ensemble was only about 20 people. I wouldn't be surprised if the judges were silently stunned by their powerful rendition. Kaya nga double champion sila and they are now feared by other competitors. A tough act to follow especially for incoming new MADZ members. Kudos and more power to MADZ...
When I was a freshman in high school (2004) I was part of the choir that debuted this piece under Stroope's direction. This is wonderful! I love the interpretation. Just wanted to share how much I liked it. Brought back great memories.
Plug your earphones from 6:44 until the end ! Im a choir enthusiast but I never had these incredible goose bumps every time hear them (Madz) sing this masterpeice Riveder le Stelle The composer will refer you to this performance as a the world standard! Hundreds of renditions were made but this 2007 European Grand Prix champion is incomparable. A very complex and hard piece to pull but they made it so effortless and they sang from heart which makes one cry
This 2007 grand prix's really great. Vesna Children Choir, Taipei Chamber Choir and Philippine Madrigal Singers showed an excellent singing. They're all worth to become a champion. But Mads with this song, a masterpiece, not only shows ultimate difficulty in singing but also a beauty. They deserve the winning.
Ma la notte risurge Oramai e da partir Che tutto veduto Ritornar! Vexilla Regis prodeunt inferni! Ma la notte risurge Salimmo su, tanto ch’i’ vidi De le cose belle che porta Ciel, per un pertugio tondo. Quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle But soon it will be night and we must rise to the stars. Now is the time to depart this place for we have seen and experienced it all. Keep moving! Return to paradise. The wings of hell’s monarch are heard nearby. We must leave quickly, but soon it will be night. I climbed toward paradise with no thought of looking back. I passed through a small opening and finally saw heaven and the supreme light and beheld once again the stars.
I feel the same way too! I've been listening to this recording since the results of the competition were released in 2007. I miss this batch of the Madz.
grabe, i started listening to this song when i was in my 2nd year in high school, ngayong 1st yr college na ako, hindi pa rin nakakasawang pakinggan tong kanta na to, cguro kahit matanda na ako hindi pa rin ako magsasawang pakinggan ito!
When I first heard this, goosebumps suffused my entire body and I proceeded to rape the replay button. Then I read the lyrics and the story. I went to listen to it again and couldn't stop crying. "It is a story about Dante, the Pilgrim, and his trials and tribulations as he journeyed from the Inferno (hell), on to Purgatory, and finally to Paradiso (heaven). His travel is full of danger and adventure, but he is absolutely dedicated to reaching "the supreme light" (Paradiso)."
i love watching Madz sing.. all other (non-Madz) versions of Riveder Le Stelle were always lacking the human touch. I am watching this again now at 08 Sep 2019 . :D
wow ! i wish stroope could work with this group....... i loved it when stroop worked with the national choir......its really great to get insight from him and how he sees the music.....
Still watching this heavenly piece in 2019! If I want to escape and feel the heavens and the angels sing.... put the headphone on and let the Phil Madz Singer bring me there.... I’m so peaceful and feel like I’m closer to our Creator!
Definitely correct! I've seen his website too. Can't believe that I started watching this perhaps 2010 and i can't stop watching this for a number of times and been playing on my iPod for a number of times too!
ah...that overtone! i remember our discovery through recordings dun sa mainit na dorm na tinulugan natin..yeah, the altos come in after the all-male part...2:21 (that's what i meant--hehe)
I first heard them when I was at ccp but, I was a member of a string ensemble that time. They made me realise where I should be. Now, I'm part of a prestigious choir. And I'm thankful that They made me hear such wonderful music. Thank you Madz! Shout out kay ate bianca na lab na lab ko whoo!
6 people have serious hearing and appreciation problem. madz this is one of the greatest performances i have seen in my life (here on youtube or anywhere else). this inspires me in so many ways.
Hi Sir Carlo. I was the one who asked Dr. Z. Randall Stroope to try to listen and consider this video of Madz to become his listening sample audio/video for We Beheld Once Again the Stars. I was just happy that he did. I told Sir Mark about this. He just laughed and was happy about it. Last month, I tried to contact Dr. Randall to consider another Madz performance of "Caritas et Amor". He replied once and told me that he'll check it. :)
balde-balde na nailuha ko. paulit-ulit ko nang pini-play ang video na to. grabeh! congrats Madz. see you in the flesh next time na mag-compete kayo. God bless always.
ive already placed this clip sa Media Box ko sa Friendster. NEVER akong magsasawa sa clip na to... AS IN! Everytime I go online, ito ang una kong pinapakinggan...
yikes! kinilabutan ako..and sobra ako kinilabutan talaga from 2:50 to 3:52!! waaaaaaaaa! MADZ~ galing nyo! can't get enough of this piece.. and madz's rendition..great! awesome! so inspiring~ and napanganga talaga ako~~ ^^
OMG it has been so long since I have heard this song! TBH -- I might sound a little too judgmental, but this is my favorite piece they have ever done, and everything else, well, not like this! ha ha
i love the basses.they have the best bass section in the world. you make me glance into this site whenever i surf the web. thanks for making me proud as a filipino!
This choir piece is intended for two full choirs and they are only 24 ! They sounded like hundreds and legions of angels providing light and comfort to humanity
gve more goosebumps... i felt the song very much though its in latin... it feels like peace suddenly turns into war then a saviour came then theres peace again.... a never ending peace .... feels like u're in heaven... madz ... my idols... clap clap clap
z randall stroope is an amazing man.....he's cool.. i met him once along with other people so I didnt really talk to him...... he makes music that can make you cry....like I am not yours
After nearly 17 years, i'm still listening to this tirelessly...it's April 20, 2024 now. ❤

This could arguably be the best ever performance of a choir, a standard by which to measure all other choir performances in the world. Surreal!
I agree!
100% agreed, standard set too high by this choir
For me, its not arguably, but rather, inarguably the best 😊 without a doubt, they are the best ❤
I agree

It's nice how music gets people to together after all these years.. no matter what race you are let me tell yall we are all are one with GOD..
Anyone brought here by Madz 2007’s reunion concert last December 30, 2023? ❤
The best part is at 6:44 when their voices soared to an amazing fortissimo.. incredible voices.. the sopranos are so good!
And they sustained this for about 40 seconds! Amazing! Heavenly!
Simply ethereal and transcending... It's like hearing the angels calling out to you...
I wish the video included the clapping at the end 'cuz this is clearly the decisive performance of the night...
Best batch of basses! Enrico, Melvir, Philip and Marvin!
Eni's one of our choir conductors in NYC! Sang with Marvin while visiting his family in NYC, too! Choral Cheers!
Don't forget Mark's fave bass Jo-Honey
@@md2rn2np2broadcaster how did you know that sir johoney is marks fav? just curious haha
Rest sir JH’s soul 😢

This must be what being in heaven would be like if you were surrounded by angels singing.
The fortissimo at 6:45 until 7:25 is well sustained...how marvelous and out of this world!
Ma la notte risurge
Oramai e da partir
Che tutto veduto
Ritornar!
Vexilla Regis prodeunt inferni!
Ma la notte risurge
Salimmo su, tanto ch’i’ vidi
De le cose belle che porta
Ciel, per un pertugio tondo.
Quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle
But soon it will be night and we must rise to the stars.
Now is the time to depart this place
for we have seen and experienced it all.
Keep moving! Return to paradise.
The wings of hell’s monarch are heard nearby.
We must leave quickly,
but soon it will be night.
I climbed toward paradise with no thought of looking back.
I passed through a small opening
and finally saw heaven and the supreme light
and beheld once again the stars.
I wish this batch had more videos of performances back then... I think they’re the best.
This song interpretation of Madz never fails to bring me to a higher ground. Beautiful. Always beautiful.
Watching again in 2019❤️ never fails to keep me in tears❤️
Me too 😭😭😭
Likewise
I feel the same way too! I've been listening to this recording since the results of the competition were released in 2007. I miss this batch of the Madz.
1:45 - 1:55 EARGASMIC ALTOS!
grabe, i started listening to this song when i was in my 2nd year in high school, ngayong 1st yr college na ako, hindi pa rin nakakasawang pakinggan tong kanta na to, cguro kahit matanda na ako hindi pa rin ako magsasawang pakinggan ito!
So clean, sharp, precise, flawless, accurate! The Philippines is so blessed to have these singing angels, the Phil MADZ. We're proud of you!
Watching this masterpiece again in December 2022, because this choral performance is still second to none for me.
Watching in 2020 ❤️
I make it a point that I listen to this everyday along with their other winning songs at the 2007 EGP. Heavenly sound! Perfect!!!
2024 ???❤❤❤
at may reunion na sila kahit di kumpleto
November 2024... Still listening to the voices of angels.
2020 anyone?
Present!

This is the best chorale piece ever written together with Pater Noster.
Thats so last year
Pagkatapos niyong pakingan to, tignan niyo kung nakatapak pa kayo sa lupa, baka mamaya nakalutang na pala kayuuu. Anggaling. :)) XDD
It's 2023 and I keep coming back to this
