I am actually part of the original Chamber Choir from Clovis East for which he debuted this song with. The dedication to us is in the sheet music. We sang this at Carnegie Hall in 2008. Hearing it again after a decade and being executed so exquisitely brings me great joy. By far the best rendition I have ever heard. Bravo

Allerhöchste, unübertreffbare Weltklasse.

War in dem Konzert. Ein Erlebnis der besonderen Art. Habe selten so einen tollen Chor gehört!!!

Ich habe niemals sonst einen solch tollen Chor gehört. Wir sollten so ehrlich sein festzustellen: Die UST Singers sind musikalisch eine Weltklasse für sich, und nichts weltweit reicht da heran. Dies ist Musik direkt aus dem Himmel, und es ist einmalig auf diesem Planeten.

Why is this song so beautiful and painful? Reminds me of so many many many things. Thanks UST Singers ❤😢🎼😔, such a very strong reminder how must we value our humanity these days, through Mother Mary. Ave Maria!

This interpretation of this piece is beyond description - I am just in awe! God bless you, UST Singers!

Truely a masterpeace of the UST Singers

This piece is beyond gorgeous!!

WOW! it's almost a non-human feat of singing. Perfection!

Wow!.... stunningly beautiful ... Worldwide , Philippines are known filled with great singers.. and when you put them in a choir❤️❤️❤️

I am crying from 4:03 onwards.

At 5:28 when the sopranos sustain as other voices fade, it is so ethereal. 🥺🥺🥺

the swelling effect, inflections and counterpoints are tremendous. each voices are so distinct. goosebumps.😊👏🏻🎼😭😍

An absolutely stunning performance, and of one of my favorite choral pieces of all time. Thank you for sharing this.

Best Version Eva. 😇

Superb!

Soaring, Heavenly! Like it's 11 out of 10

Heavenly sound indeed!

Simply amazing. Mabuhay UST Singers and Sir Fidel.

I love UST Singers. They love doing counterpoints and Lydian modes to make things sound more interesting. Quality of voices are distinct and clear instead of merely blending. A lot of dynamica too. Arrangement is absolutely captivating and exciting. Bravo to the conductor.

so clean, so good

Para akong namatay na OTW sa langit !!!

The best 2:04 ❤️

More power

Wow

I’ve sung this piece back in college, and if you don’t mind I’d like to share my thoughts on your performance: Right off the bat, I’m completely blown away by your decision to transpose the piece up a whole step. Having heard both the D Major and your E Major performance, I can safely say I love the E Major version so much more! There’s more elegance and grace to it in the transposed version, and I am totally here for it! Now into a few critiques: firstly, I felt that the tempo was a little slow. “Not quite my tempo,” said that one crazy jazz band director from Whiplash. But I guess I can understand the slow tempo so that the listener can linger on the tones a bit longer. And speaking of lingering, I felt that there could have been more use of silence between certain phrases. Like, just letting the chords ring out until there’s nothing left, let the tones sink in, y’know? The first part in the intro before the basses enter, I felt that the dissonances between the altos and tenors were omitted. Probably a design choice after the transposition, but dissonance in the new key would have sounded fantastic (or maybe they were still in and I just didn’t hear it that well myself). Another nitpick is the vowel shape. I think the vowels, especially in the beginning section (most of my nitpicks were in that beginning section), could have been taller, rounder and more open. Again, probably a design choice after the transposition, but that’s just me. After the basses enter, my God, the rest of the performance was spectacular! Barring the slow tempo and vowel shapes, the dissonances were rich, the tones were glorious, and the ambience of the full ensemble was otherworldly. And E Major sounds absolutely gorgeous! If I was a choir director and chose to conduct this piece, I’d definitely do it in E rather than the original D. Overall, you guys knocked it out of the park! On a 1-10 scale, I’d give you guys nothing lower than a 9 - probably a 9.5 or 9.75. The critiques were minor, but the good vastly outweighs the not-so-good. Plus, my critiques are purely subjective, but the objective truth is that this performance was stellar. Absolutely amazing job, everyone! You should be very proud of your performance! Keep up the amazing work!

Up a whole step. And honestly, I think I might like it a bit more than the original D Major :)
