Polyphonies superbes,c'est majestueux sans être pompeux,aérien sans être léger,ça élève l'âme vers la beauté.Superbe!

Don 't quarrel you two. This music is worth more. Enjoy, with or without one another. Excuse my english, it 's known better days.

this music....is just simply moving. it lifts your heart to Heaven. i can almost see Our Blessed Mother and all the angels and saints gathered, worshiping the Blessed Trinity.

My chamber singers ensemble sang this about two years ago. I have to say this was the most difficult thing I've ever sang with that group (and that's 4+ years of singing combined!), and it frustrated me like no other. But listening to this now reminded me of how all that work is so very much worth it when you're sharing music like this.

ich liebe franko-flämische vokalpolyphonie! diesem stück kann man stundenlang zuhören

Every time I listen to this i get goosebumps wondering why some people dont like this music! I have been begging my director to do this piece!

Diese Musik ist zum Zerlaufen schön! - Die Gänsehaut bleibt nicht aus! - Wie wunderbar! - Aber wer singt die Messe? - Manchmal ist mir die Musik nicht einfühlsam genug gesungen! - Besonders bei den Einsätzen! - Trotzdem verdient der Chor ein sehr großes Lob! :-) Vielen Dank für die Empfehlung!

Great music

Uma obra prima da liturgia católica idealizada por Palestrina. Uma sumidade!

this is very nice, have sang many times in churchs but still listen to this often :)

Excellent motet "Kyrie". Giovanni Palestrina arrangement is perfect.

In my opinion, I love vocalists than instrumental musicians (regarding that I am a violinist) because their voice is their instrument. They express how they feel and love about music (passion). Because of capella's like this, instruments was invented, and soon evolved into more sophisticated instruments as the brass woodwinds and even percussions. It's not god who made it, It's the people who loves music expressing their feelings to music itself

This music brings Heaven down to Earth! Heaven is real!

palestrina and di Lasso are huge !

Love it. Both delightful and exhilirating.

i find it hard to believe people enjoyed listening to this...I can't ever see myself crusin in my car and deciding..."im going to put on kyrie by giovanni palestrina." (i had to watch this for school btw)

Tout simplement magnifique......!

So smooth and beautiful.

The Credo's the best. The final amen is just too fantastic.

my choir has a concert today where we will sing the whole mass. i'm an alto and they have a lot to do!

A beautiful performance of a beautiful work.

Oh, my God! I don't think I ever have been so moved by a piece of music as I just was. This is the voice of God!

When I went to a Music conservatory at France with my professional string friends, I heard this choir inside from a enormous church. I told my friends to meet me at a cafe somewhere close at the church, and went inside. While I was inside listening to this beautiful capella, tears came out from my eyes until the whole capella was over.

where is the Palestrina of the 21st century? The skill to compose this heavenly music is an intangible asset and gone with the wind.

Magnificent, just great. I love it.

estoy de acuerdo.

I'm trying to study for my music exam. but this music is so peaceful its putting me to sleep. Its too beautiful

che meraviglia!

Thanks

Przepiękne... az zapiera dech w piersi... arcy dzieło :)

It is divine music such as this that affirms the existence of a numinous being greater than the temporal one. sd goh (malaysia)

@martinlian123 From looking at your profile, I understand that you are a child. When you grow up one day, you will perhaps understand why this music has survived for so many centuries, and why many people can listen to it for years, even decades, without getting tired of it. When I was your age, I didn't like it either. But as we grow up, we see, learn, understand many things about this world, and only then we begin to appreciate the really good music. You will see.

this is amazing, I`m very happy when I can listen to the real music :) Sorry, my English is bad

Beautiful!

Inspiring music, I love it.

belissima musica. suave, as vozes se apoiam sem disputa

Magnifique! Merci Schmobot!

yea i got a test on this too for my music appreciation class but its not until next week...Thank you for putting this up

I have the original cd of this beautiful choral music.. I think is one of the better interpretation of this masterpiece. Very spiritual, make me think to the God's greatness. To fully appreciate this work and many other of Palestrina I think is necessary to love God and his church.. Remember that behind this music was the inspiration of a great saint: San Filippo Neri. The complete title of the cd is: Palestrina: Missae Papae Marcelli, Westminster Abbey Choir directed by Simon Preston.

Splendid.

We are doing it too. But not with a hole choir but with 7 people. When you have a nice acoustic it's an amazing feeling and a stunning sound. Hope I will get a record when we sing it.

great sound !

Thank you! Finally someone rational enough to understand my point. And yes, beautiful music indeed.

magnifique!!

la pura bellezza la pura armonia

Although I realize Giovanni was a devout Catholic, as an Atheist I can say that this is simply marvelous.

es una de las mejores versiones del kyrie de la misa al papa marcelo que he escuchado. =)

yes

I love to sing this at Mass!

To Billyguns2- the magnificent choir perfoming the "Kyrie" of the Missa Papae Marcelli is indeed King's College Choir, Cambridge University, Cambridge, England, Sir David Willcocks, Music Director, Conducting. How do I know? I have the LP recording of the performance!

c est super

Mamma mia!!!

the lay still certainly knew the parts of the Mass. I am not fluent in latin or greek, yet i can still follow what is being sung. although, i have some facility in ecclesiastical latin, so that may not be a fair statement....

Oh, wie wunderbar ist doch diese Musik! - Und wie schön gesungen! Fantastisch!

Just shows the depths to which music in the RC church has sunk in the 21st century, it has been downhill since Palestrina

Extraño comentario, aunque cronologicamente correcto. De cualquier modo, esta musica es bellisima y completamente intemporal.

@Assislau My friend, I believe I understand what you're attempting to express. The first time I stood in front of Botticellis' masterpiece "Primavera" at the Uffizi in Florence, I was so moved, it almost took my breath away! And I knew that its inspiration came from no G-D! Blaine

Moving though this music is, and brilliant the performance, I am loathe to give it a 5-star rating for the "video". So I'll just content myself with writing to thank you for posting it.

Just listened to gloria... is IS the tallis scholars

@MrVieweiV ....sacred meaning. This is one example of how music is a gift from God. But to answer your question, God wanted humans to have enjoyment in life, some of our snjoyment goes to praise God for Him giving us this gift, others don't realize that their gift is from God and abuse it, I won't mention anyone though. I really hope that I answered your question.

@Assislau I am in a music history class at the moment and from what I learned Palestrina hated some of his madrigals later writing new sacred ones. Music is a gift from God, it is not used in "good" ways all of the time. Maybe God decided that the music without the religious view could be used to promote discussions like this one. As for the teenager, I already answered that.

ganz toll

no it's the regensburger domspatzen directed by georg ratzingrt

How hard to sing a capella! Great!

@moltoallegro19 I miss spoke on Palestrina. Please listen to Gregorio Allegri's "Miserere" performed live in Rome by the Tallis Scholars. In my humble opinion it is singularly the most perfect piece ever penned. Again, please allow yourself the exquisite treat of closing your eyes and allowing these vocalists to let you feel the emotion of God through their voices. Absolutely stunning.

@MrVieweiV all music is a gift from God.

but surely our bodies will be in the ground, decomposing...

:0 is is wonderfull *0*

I actually had to answer another guy's comment and I felt like I had to say I was an atheist to make him see I understood his point, so I didn't come to this video shouting about it. And sorry for commenting here again, just feel I need to defend my statements down there by explaining that I never came here with a disrespectful attitude against Christians. The last thing I wanted was trouble. And it feels good that somebody thinks I have the right to love this music too, thank you for that.

we need to interpret this piece, any idea how can we perform it beautifully

@moltoallegro19 thank you for clarifying. I didn't see the other guys comments, which explains my confusion. And you're quite welcome.

One of the most sublime pieces of music ever written, the other would be by Tallis :)

Oh, let me guess I've gotten thumbs down for saying I'm an atheist... Am I not allowed to chose for myself what I am to believe in? I still admire this music very much and I thought that was what this video was about. Can all theists, if they wish to express their dislike with atheists, switch battlefield to another video and not do it on this one? Are you not here. like me, to enjoy this divine music? (And yes, I am aware of the irony in using that word)

@inregionecaecorum the other being Spem Alium by Tallis? That is just divine :)

If you ever get chance, listen to Harry Christopher's The Sixteen rendition. Sublime.

Catholicism ( Palestrina was one of the greatest Sacred music composers during the Renaissance )

I like church music Xp they're so religious

Who says they don't? I'm working on a Christmas Mass for 4 voices in the 16th Century style as we speak (after Tallis moreso than Palestrina).

Do you know where I can find this song sung by The Tallis Scholars? Or is this it? I haven't heard it in a while, and I have an impeccable memory for recognizing music, but I can't pinpoint if this is it exactly. Either way, beautiful and exquisitely written song.

Beautiful music. I can't fathom why people don't listen to stuff like this or write this kind of music anymore. It's so timeless and majestic! Viva Palestrina!

@wrongbuzz This music isn't really played in the church anymore. So it can't be blamed^^

@Assislau But in view of the history of this brilliant work of Palestrinas', could we not at least state that he was attempting to demonstrate to Pope Marcellus, in response to the counter reformationist Cardinals within the Curia who at the Council of Trent, had called for "Polyphony" to be banned, that it could in fact be liturgical?

Also studying, but also havent toucht rennaisacne music. :S

@Steinbach1984 I agree. The tempo seems too fast. Palestrina's music should "breathe" more. This tempo rushes the phrasing and doesn't allow each line to fully develop as a phrase - especially where cadences overlap - as the singers rush to take a breath. Still, it's hard to screw up such such a beautiful piece when you are working with (obviously) very competent musicians. Preference is ultimately irrational - even when it comes to tempi, I suppose.

Lol. You're probably in my class. I have to do the same thing. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!

@bamboccionethefirst Talent is not "given." Many people are born with a tendency towards music, and this tendency can be sharpened into skill through practice and study. It is a skill to be developed, not a gift to be given. Our thanks should go to Palestrina for being so dedicated to music to reach the level he did.

I *THOUGHT* it was the Tallis Scholars whose Palestrina performances were on that game... is it them?

grazie mille, ashashyki... comunque il pezzo è stupendo, e deve anche essere molto difficile da eseguire... devono essere molto complicati gli attacchi...!

@MrVieweiV every thing is a gift from God.

@EmilyMae141 Listen to the beautiful music yes, respect false beliefs, no.

Latin,with ecclesiastic pronounciation!

@MrVieweiV Palestrina apparently overheard the angels.

@MrVieweiV what are feelings my fellow creature? where do feelings come from? how is it that we even feel?

My music teacher sent me here, im no classical music fan so i dont know how the hell im supposed to tell the difference between these songs

Hehe I'm listening to this for a school project and you know what? It ain't half bad! Lol even though I just finished listening to Seasons In The Abyss by Slayer, I can appreciate that it's actually very good. Just sayin' ;)

Although it is a limiting framework, harmonic itself contains infinity.

Do you usually judge things according to what you can do while cruisin in you car? Good luck!

This (I THINK) is the Westminster Abbey Recording.

Божественно

test on this mate tomorrow
