@@rafaelhenrique6281 Don't believe everything you read on the internet about not believing everything you read on the internet. The title of one of Augustine's sermons is "cantare amantis est", which literally translates, "Singing is loving", or translating with the sentiment of his sermon, "Singing belongs to the one who loves". Whether or not he did or did not also say, "bis orat qui cantat" (whoever sings prays twice) is open to debate. Traditionally both the title of his sermon and that Latin phrase have been handed down together. Given that Augustine wrote in his books (which remain complete) and preached through his sermons (for which only selected pieces remain) so much on the subject of loving and praying, there is little reason to doubt he said it just because the exact quote can't be found in any of his remaining written works.

The music and voices are stunningly beautiful, as others have noted, but what I love is that no one is reaching or grabbing for a note. The melodies and harmonies just float on the air after a collective breath. The sense of forward motion propels the line and the delicate ebb and flow of the phrasing is breathtaking. The suspensions and resolutions are gentle and unforced. This is world class singing. And, the musicality and soulfulness of the performers touches my heart deeply. Thank you, gentlemen.
