Can we just stop to appreciate that EJ Cardona, the main tenor, holds not only the final, resonant note for a FULL 25 SECONDS, but does so with a note shift upwards halfway through, right off of normal singing, and LOUDLY. Mad props to him and his lungs.

@@TheFanaticster I wholeheartedly disagree. Good music, is good music. They are very talented but they lack a low end. It is all middle and high and not enough low to balance out the aesthetic experience(that breathless sensation when you are affected by music). It's also slow and too ponderous in this particular recording. Just about every group on the planet has done a Christmas album and have seen millions of views. Look up the Pentatonix or Home Free or Valor. All have upbeat versions with a basso profundo to balance out all the high voices.

@@jubenvi2 - I think Voctave prefers a more traditional choral sound mix, in which bass voices rarely predominate. This is a madrigal-sized group (8-17 members), not a quintet like Pentatonix or Home Free. You can hear their basses more distinctly in the Disney medley they recorded with Kirstie Maldonado of Pentatonix and her husband. I see little virtue in having them do a bouncy, up-tempo "O Come All Ye Faithful." Pentatonix already did that, with a version that incorporates elements of the "Missa Luba".

No other group than Voctave! Those angelic voices still Grammy award worthy since day one! #VoctaveForever Still #1 in our hearts
"Word of the father..." But seriously... word. WORD! Lol. That note hits me every single time I hear it. I never thought of this song as being one that could have such an impact moment, but then he sings "word" and I'm just staring at my screen with a smile on my face. Such phenomenal talent and skill.
I love that the song has space. It doesn't feel rushed at all. It soars!!!
We finally discovered Voctave two days ago, and it's all we're talking about two days straight. Flawless!

And the full range he can sing!
Staggered breathing is where two or more performers are singing or playing the same note and take turns breathing through a long note or passage. Circular breathing is where horn players, Sax, Trumpet, etc, fill their mouth with air, keep the outgoing air pressure constant with their cheeks while breathing in through their nose to fill their lungs and start the whole process over again. What EJ demonstrated was fantastic note placement, breath control through the entire note, and have enough left over to jump up to the higher note at the end, and still have a little left after the ending so that the note didn't die off. This takes constant and consistent pressure with the diaphragm to push the air over the vocal cords. Not many people have the lung capacity or the control to pull this off the way he did. With his control he could have easily held the note even longer. Kudos to EJ and the entire group.
EJ! You're a BEAST man! Beautiful performance, soaring highs, soft relaxing lows and powerful mids; EXCELLENT EXCELLENT performance!
The lead singer's sustained note lasted from 4:34 to 4:59 was STUNNING caught my breath just listening to his tenor voice ring
That ending.... His lungs must reach to his hips to hold that much air.. Wow, just WOW!
I absolutely love Voctave. They are the pinnacle of vocal music. Their soaring Sopranos are amazing. Their lead tenor can sustain a note practically forever. It sounds so effortless- and I know it isn’t! I am a member of the best choir in Los Angeles, the Angel City Chorale... and I would love if we did a collaboration someday... just call me if you need an alto 😉
Wow just wow praise the Lord for these beautiful voices offered to Him!!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I can hold a note for that long....when I hum softly. His range and breath control are Incredible!
even two years later I'm still coming back to listen to how exquisite Cardona's voice is Edit: 4 years and counting 👌🏼
It's midnight on a school night at the end of September and i can't stop watching. You're glorious voices are helping me get through on of the most difficult night of might life as I sit here thinking of my father who just suffered a stroke. You are truly are inspirational!Thank you!!!!
So much talent in so many beautiful people. Each of them completely in control of their sound. Incredible stuff.
Superb arrangement, harmony and performance! You people are amazing singers! I still have goosebumps!
This is such a feat of vocal perfection! And the soloist achieves perfection at the end with his amazing note!!!!
Try to imagine, if you can, that all of the talent of humankind all put together to create such amazing things, one of which we hear in this video, is but a faint shadow of Who God Almighty, Jesus Christ, is. When you see Jesus, you will not be pressured to worship Him. You will *BEG* to worship Him. He truly is worthy, and all will see in that very day. :)
EJ has such a beautiful voice! Thank you for sharing!! :D
Such class and respect when they sing towards EJ...this ensemble is not of this world!
I just love the look of total reverence on EJ’s face
1:08 I did not expect that and it was utterly beautiful 🤯😭❤❤ I just looove the soloist he is friiiiiicking amazing 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤❤❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 and duuuude the ending!!!!
instant tears! this is *just* the right way to sing this hymn . . . reverent, yet joyful . . . thank you for helping me feel God's Spirit this Christmastide ♥
Amazing! Fantastic arrangement, I love how it grows into that epic ending :)

Hey! Who's the dope that clicked the thumbs down??!! There's something wrong with your ears. This is VERY beautiful, and MAN!!! the tenor can sing. That's going to give me goosebumps for the rest of the day.

No doubt they’re objecting to the timing of the release - should have been on 23 Nov. No way they could be objecting to the music.

Certainly the singing is excellent, but why does anyone that dislikes it need to be a "dope" and have something wrong with their ears? There's plenty of things to personally dislike. Criticism of dislikes has gone a little too far.
This moves me to tears every time I listen - what a worshipful arrangement...
the soprano left hand side of the soloist was beautiful. she so adorable and when she opens her mouth, the voice comes out like an angel singing from the heavens above...
The most beautiful rendition of O Come, All Ye Faithful that I've ever heard. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video!
This is definitely my favorite song on their Snow album. So glad they are releasing these videos. Even if it's a year later.
I feel rejuvenated both vocally, spiritually and musically after listening to this. Love and light 🤩🌟🌏🌻🕊🌠
Glory to God! Alleluia! Absolutely beautiful. Blessings to all of you!
What's even more beautiful than this song is Who it was sang for.
Undeniably, The most beautiful thing these ears have ever heard. I have no words to express how i feel about this. This is spiritual and holy. You are blessed to your inner being just hearing this. I was wrong, I do have words to express how I feel.

How has this existed for five years and I'm only just discovering it in Dec 2023?! My entire Christmas playlist is a cappella (admittedly mainly Pentatonix), but I've had Voctave's Mary Did You Know in there, too. You'd think this one would have crossed my notice before now. I do not always enjoy Voctave--so much upper soprano and piercing notes that seem to be placed there just because they can, but some of their work blows me away, as does this amazing performance. Watching the soloist's facial features as he sings is fascinating, as you see how much physical work is involved in shaping and holding sounds. And that last note--25 seconds held including the shift up--man oh man oh man! I love this intensely!
That was absolutely beautiful. His solo was so profound. The arrangement was lovely!!
Oh my, oh my, oh my, that was just fantabulous!!!! The harmony, the superb blending, your voices together are blessing many!
I could see E.J's relief when he took a breath after holding the notes at the end. :)
The soloist has a really great theatre voice Wait. Scrap that. They're all freaking amazing. Period.
