To those who are unfamiliar with music, this song is ridiculously difficult to get through. Each part acts as it’s own beast, and you must not only know YOUR part, but everyone else’s part to a T for it to pay off the way it’s supposed to. This is a beautiful performance, made all the more impressive by the difficulty of the piece.

The hardest part of singing this in my choir I think was getting the long phrases smooth and not dying from the excruciating interval jumps. Of course you need to know others' parts to know when your beat is. (Dunno why but there indeed are many people who blissfully count their long note's length in their own head, disregarding what's happening... even soloists. So it's definitely a skill that some have to work for.)

Exquisitely beautiful interpretation of this imaginative setting of "Nimrod" (Enigma Variations). Though the text is from the ordinary of the funeral mass, the theme of eternal light is singularly appropriate for these challenging times. Profound thanks for this lovely musical offering. Later -- two years later. Christmas Eve 2022 -- and again and again I return to this inspiring amalgam of text and music. At now 82, and mostly housebound, it is musical settings and renderings such as these.that keep my faith alive in my silent solitude. Thank you, Voces 8 for your inspired musical ministry to a rather derelect former choirmaster and chorister. Christmas blessings to you all!

@StephenRCar3 жыл бұрын
As intimate and intense as "Nimrod" is in the orchestral version, the intensity is magnified and focused by an octet of choral voices. As of that weren't enough, the text of the prayer "Lux Aeterna" from the Latin Requiem Mass further sharpens the impact. This is powerfully unbearable in the very best of ways. Samuel Barber's "Adagio" treated similarly is on a par with this. This music and sound is almost too beauiful.

Of the Voices in particular: The only Superlatives I could add to those already used in the comments: Vox Angelus Of the Room: We often say: "The Room is the other half of the Paino/Forte"; This Room uplifts, supports and enhances this spectacular sound (and am sure it's why they chose it over others)... No Coincidence. With all our Technology, it's still hard to say we've mastered the art/science of Room Crafting. Many Years of Good health and Joyful performances to all the crew!

I heard this on the radio a couple of weeks ago. Of course, I was quite aware of Nimrod, but not of the addition of the wonderful Lux Aeterna text. My dear friend, who is declining rapidly with dementia, totally fell in love with this setting, and is moved to tears whenever I play it for her. Between losing her, and my own mother's terminal illness, this arrangement not only provides beauty, but some comfort in the pain of loss.

Tears..sublime beauty
Moved - first to tears, then to action. Stunning.
I heard this on the radio a couple of weeks ago. Of course, I was quite aware of Nimrod, but not of the addition of the wonderful Lux Aeterna text. My dear friend, who is declining rapidly with dementia, totally fell in love with this setting, and is moved to tears whenever I play it for her. Between losing her, and my own mother's terminal illness, this arrangement not only provides beauty, but some comfort in the pain of loss.
Ich liebe es. Dankeschön
wow...just wow. thankyou
Breath taking thank you so much for sharing your beautiful performance x
Always a moving beautiful piece, never imagined it could get even better. Already tingling, at 2:15 I think my knees went.
Utterly beautiful.
The purest form of this piece yet, a way to take in its absolute essence.
Magnifique tout simplement !
Wow, simply stunning. Thank you.
So, beautifully done. I can't help but weep listening to it

Absolutely stunning
If I've commented before, I must again. I've heard VOCES8 several times live and they always stir something in me.
Your talent is off the scale! Just magic!!
I've never heard this done so well. Bravo.
There are times when they sound like a full orchestra to my ears or like a perfectly pitched brass band… Nonetheless, the spiritual significance of what is happening here is tremendous and brings me to tears every time

Wow… beautiful beyond words
Just wanted to say thank you. I’ve just returned from my grandmother’s cremation service and this was the most beautiful piece of choral music I have ever heard. I chose this piece for her last journey down the aisle before her body departed from this world. Thank you VOCES8. Love to you all. ✝️✡️
Thank you. This helps with stress so much.
Oh my word....had chills the entire time.
Breathtaking. It brings me such joy knowing beauty like this exists on earth and we have access to it when we need it.
Thanks for reuploading, so I can like it twice
What a breathtaking and beautiful rendition of this well known tune. I stumbled across them by accident but am completely blow away.
This is quite magical ! Thanks a lot for an amazing piece! Her voice is perfect, sadly she left the group😢 The sound is incredible!
berührend schön
Music washes away from the soul, the dust of everyday life.
This always reminds of remembrance sunday which commemorates all those who died in WW1 and WW2 it always brings tears to my eyes when I think of all the young men who died in such awful scenes,

Listening to the Royal band playing it at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day is well worth the effort and expense to get there.
Oh, England, England, artistically you are still far ahead of the continent! Love and regards!
Simply splendid! Uplifts my soul!
God bless you all, VOCES8❣️ I turn to you when my heart is heavy. You bring me peace and comfort. Thank you so very much ❤️
Beautiful
