Why am I only hearing this for the first ever time today, and I'm in my 70s. I LOVE it!

How is it possible that a 19-year old in a stuck-up school creates such a beautiful piece? It has stood the test of time. All serious choirs in the world sing it. It remains my favorite piece to sing.

😂😂😂 What a funny comment! Because Fauré was a master composer, that's why! And it has 'stood the test of time' because it's composed music, not the Spice Girls or Eminem or Justin Bieber (etc etc etc). 😂😂😂

That horn -> oboe transition in the opening is everything!

I have chosen this to be sung at my funeral. It is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever sung.

Magnifique combinaison de chant et d'orchestre !

The ultimate performance… thanks to all! And the oboist is just magnificent!!! Brilliant

Absolument divin. Quelle superbe interprétation, à mon sens une des plus belles, sinon la plus belle, que j'aie jamais entendue. Les voix sont parfaites et l'orchestre est...je ne trouve même pas de termes assez élogieux pour dire mon ressenti! Mille mercis pour ce bonheur.

I didn't know this piece. I'm an addict now! So peaceful and gentle, it remind me Ennio Morricone.

C'est un classique !!! une perfection harmonique et souvent joué dans les choeurs. La pièce la plus célèbre de Fauré avec son Requiem.

The quality of this recording and performance blows my mind.

I sang this beautiful song with the Arts High School concert choir...1977. And I still love it

Wow!! I just listenes to this song for the first time ever, as my choir is performing it this summer, and I knew Voces 8 would be the way to go for a first listen. So beautiful!! And the balance between the voices is just superb. What a wonderful collaboration from all of the musicians involved. 🩷

とても美しいハーモーニーでした。天国にいるかのようです。ありがとう。

Faure was very good at these calm, peaceful, beautiful harmonies - quiet but they pack a punch!

If any of the orchestra read these comments thank you for the very best portrayal of this beautiful piece all of you are really magnificent!

So beautiful. Fauré is so quietly profound.

Wieder eine pure Freude, zu zu hören. Dankeschön für diese Schönheit am Abend.

Exquisite! I don't think most people know how difficult it was for us conductors and musicians to play during pandemic restrictions of 6' between individual players and stands. It's very hard to hear and achieve good intonation/rhythmic coordination. I conducted a Cenerentola in 2021, full orchestra in a huge outdoor amphitheater, which meant about 80' from left to right (most large modern theaters and prosceniums are 40' wide.) You really can't hear beyond 2 stands away. Bravi and thanks to Barnaby and the wonderful musicians and singers for inspiring all of us during the pandemic years. Voces8 was my musical lifeline when everything was cancelled.

I can't imagine conducting or playing an opera in such circumstances! And all that trouble was probably for nothing outdoors.

@@musiclover148 We made it work and had some of the best sound engineers in the music business. But even then we had to tweak and struggle and ended up going mostly old-school acoustic, turning down most of the sound monitors on stage, removing ear bud monitors for the musicians, and having the singers try to see me instead of the video monitors, which even with the software had a time lag.

Yes! Pieces such as this are difficult under optimal confitions! As a singer, one has to hear everything around you, watch your conductor, and be deaf all at the same time.

Absolutely gorgeous!!

Fauré was a precociously brilliant composer. By his late teens, he had already developed his own unique and confident musical voice. VOCES8 grade 10. Congrats!

I first sang Cantique when at university in 1979 and it has been my favourite piece ever since. I could listen to it for hours. Wonderful.

This piece is so gorgeous it’s almost impossible to sing without tearing up ❤

I sang this years ago in college, I think I sang baritone/bass, I don’t recall singing tenor 😊

J'ai en tant que basse, les larmes aux yeux, interprété cet hymne pour le départ d'une choriste. Bien sur bien loin de ce que vous nous offrez aujourd'hui. Merci pour ce que vous faites.

I truly love the beginning measures but I LOVE it when the old man on the French horn interjects some (seemingly) old wisdom and calm to the overall effort. VOCES8 is impeccable.

j'aime tout particulièrement cette interprétation, merci pour tant de subtilité, merci VOCES8

One of the most elegant, exquisite choral pieces of all time, presented and performed with such grace and beauty by the entire ensemble. Thank you. Your music makes each day so much better. Anne Williams

Seelenvoll, zum träumen schön 🥰 Herzlichen Dank an alle Beteiligten ❤

Pour ceux qui en auraient la curiosité... Cantique de Jean Racine Verbe égal au Très-Haut Notre unique espérance Jour éternel de la terre et des cieux De la paisible nuit nous rompons le silence Divin Sauveur, jette sur nous les yeux Divin Sauveur, jette sur nous les yeux Répands sur nous le feu de ta grâce puissante Que tout l'enfer, que tout l'enfer fuie au son de ta voix Dissipe le sommeil d'une âme languissante Qui la conduit à l'oubli de tes lois Qui la conduit à l'oubli de tes lois Ô Christ soit favorable à ce peuple fidèle Pour te bénir maintenant rassemblé Reçois les chants qu'il offre à ta gloire immortelle Et de tes dons qu'il retourne comblé Et de tes dons qu'il retourne comblé Et de tes dons Qu'il retourne comblé

​@awakening4210 Thank you very much. My community choir here in the USA is learning this song to sing in French, and it's very nice to know its meaning.

Absolutely beautiful. And it's so heartwarming to see such an avalanche of appreciative comments from others who feel the same way, just 13 hours (as I write this) after the release of this video. Many thanks to all.

What a beautiful rendition of this extremely beautiful music

Thanks for this this outstanding and wonderful interpretation of Fauré‘s Cantique de J. Racine….to me a special piece of music which stops me always for just a moment during my daily duties and touches my soul. Voces8 thanks also for many other master pieces….I love you all and your music

We are learning this piece, in my group choir. And it’s simply one of the best pieces I’ve ever heard, just gorgeous. 🥰

Lo más bonito que voy oyendo este 2024

I so love this, and had never heard it before. Thank you for all the beauty you bring to our lives.

I sang along with the basses - now I’m in voces8 🎉

Très beau. Merci 👏❤️ 🙏🎶❤️👏

Zo'n prachtig lied.....diverse uitvoeringen gehoord, dit is echt een hele mooie, en het zelf meerdere keren mogen zingen met m'n koor

Quando penso a come potrebbero essere gli angeli mi vengono in mente i musicisti e i cantori😊

I remember when you sang this for a Live From London concert. Just exquisite! Thank you for sharing your beautiful voices with us. We are all so fortunate!

No hay expresión más elevada de la esencia más noble del ser humano, que una interpretación tan magnífica de una obra tan exquisita.

Again, Taylor Scott Davis stands for the orchestration, and we only have to enjoy and worship this wonderful music. 🙏

Très très beau très 🙏

Magnifique interprétation ! Les nuances importantes de ce Cantique sont parfaitement dosées….Merci pour ce pieux moment !👍✝️🇫🇷👍✝️🇫🇷❤️❤️❤️❤️🇫🇷

Absolument magnifique. Un grand merci !

Magnifique interprétation!

Goosebumps! The choir I do know the are the best , this orchestra is also amazing, hoboist is really wonderful,perfect Music choice is very very beautiful to listen Shapo!!!👍👍👍

Superbe et très fidèle. Voix et instruments en parfaite harmonie. Bravo !

Nice to hear again. And made all the better by the little or no vibrato from the singers.

Merci pour cette très belle interprétation.

Im Luciana from Sao Paulo, Brazil. I have no words ❤....Obrigada! Many Thanks.

I'm 56 and amazed that generation after generation, artists keep the fire burning. Be good to one another. Sing loudly and express your instruments (voice or literal instruments). Share your craft (you are SO special--especially today). This beautiful song, written over 100 years ago, kept the masses sane during insane times. You too, can do it.

Voces 8 toujours au top ! C'est un émerveillement. Thank you so much!

Vielen Dank, das geht direkt ins Herz ❤️

Magnifique, merci.

Simply magnificent.

Ive heard this piece performed by many choirs, however, Voces8 outperforms all the others. Just beautiful. So melodic.

Sublime. One of my favorite choral pieces beautifully performed.

Exquisite. Flawless execution. Our chamber choir sang this for competition in high school back in 1993. Amazing how the alto part comes right back to me. ❤

So beautiful in every way! It bring tears of comfort and joy to the listener.

Really beautiful and imaginative orchestration. Love the addition of the French horn and oboe. The singing is exquisite, as ever. Another heavenly performance of a heavenly piece. Thank you!

One of the staples we enjoyed singing in Tunis over the years. Tunis Singers led by Nancy Bakkour.

This is a Christian piece that seems to feel good to listen to.

In literal tears while watching this flawless performance. Thank you thank you thank you.

What a fine interpretation of the Arpeggione Sonata. Beautiful sound combined with good musical judgement yields what, in my opinion is the best interpretation currently available of this great work. Thanks for the journey into the personal past.

Lo amo questo brano è meraviglioso ❤

Bravo. Just magnificent. What a beautiful piece and lyrics by M. Faure, performed exquisitely by this group.

One of my all time favorites. Sublime.

Thank you for finally releasing this beautiful anthem. You guys are always my angels, flowing and gliding with the highest bars.

Thank you, Voces8. You are a treasure. The oboe and french horn were an inspired choice by Taylor Scott Davis.

Wonderful! I love that song very much, i sang it sometimes with a choir some years ago. You didn't only "deliver", You celebratet it. Great!

A piece I earnestly so love. Beautiful, thoughtful rendering.

Excellent, thank you...again... Voces8 and the ECO, there are not enough superlatives either in French or English. A tremendous innovative arrangement of a timeless piece that's both a joy to sing and to listen to as it moves the soul every time. And to think young M. Faure was only 16 when he wrote it! Thanks again, you go from strength to strength.

Trying out a new version of one of my favorite romantic songs because I’ve heard Voces8 before and I love their arrangements. Idk how this Faure classic will translate with a chamber choir number of voices. Hoping for the best! One of the best songs composed by a human, especially so young when he did this one. (I think 19, if memory serves correctly.) so far as I’m listening, it’s wonderful! I’ll update/reply when the climax/decrescendo happens. The French horn is #fabulous, as is the driving harp. Also the blend of voices sounds lovely. Different, but lovely. Update! An absolutely breathtaking arrangement. Never would have thought a full choir sound could be replaced positively by such a small ensemble but it was exquisite. Changing my go to recording to this one to introduce friends and colleagues to mid/late romantic era popular choral music. Stunning. Brava tutti, gorgeous job everyone! ❤🎉🥹

Wonderful. Stunning INSTRUMETS especially oboe

THANK YOU FOR THIS MOST BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE FROM CARINTHIA!

Fauré wrote this master piece when he was a youngster as his final studiy work

I LOVE Andrea. And Elli. And Katie. And Molly. And the guys.

When I watched my first video of Voces8 I thought here’s another sensation as with many 🤷‍♂️ how wrong I was 🤦‍♂️ only wish I could watch them in person and should I win a large National Lottery figure I intend to support them …👏👏👏👏👏❤️

This is simply sublime music

This wonderful musical piece makes me nearly to God and His Love to all people

Superb...most moving...beautiful interpretation...voices, conductor, all the musicians

Oh! Mon Dieu! Quel bijou!

Beautiful. I adore this.

Lovely. 🌿💐🌿🥰🌿💐🌿
