He can compose music in slow tempi, but what about fast tempi? Not all music is slow.

One of his most beautiful pieces!

This lovely music must be orchestrated for symphony orchestra and chorus....why has it not been?

❤🫶🏽❤️

Elgar ha sido un descubrimiento y esta una pieza fundamental, maravillosa, romántica, fílmica y a la vez trascendente, otra forma de conectar, otra oración ❤❤❤

Transcending beauty - takes me a thousand miles away into an amazing place. Thank you!

Possibly one of the most beautiful choral pieces ever written. Brings me to tears every time. My favorite interpretation is by Voces8: ruclips.net/video/IwdeqVmXlHk/видео.html The final note sounds like a soft pipe organ chord.

Alabado sea Jesucristo

Incredibly beautiful and moving performance, including the narrators.

Muchas gracias, es tan gratificante verles cantar con toda el alma!

Very love filled singing and playing ..thank you all

You could pull 12 people off the street to sing this piece and it would sound just as gorgeous.

For some reason reason this keeps appearing at Xmas time on my feed. My views have not changed. And David Rain, your point is well made but many of these arrangements (like this one) have been made without the composer's 'blessing'. Elgar was asked for permission for one such and replied "Over my dead body". and they had to wait, but still did. I think what irks me most here is the transference to a religious genre, which Brahms would most certainly not have wished.

Simply lovely

Fantastic! I have no idea whatever else to say ... Can you put the lyrics here please

Who is the composer of this masterpiece? The voices are ethernal

Fabulous and that says it all! Thank you, with Blessings, Michael 🦋

This particular piece is ALWAYS so beautiful, so peaceful, whoever sings!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

Wonderfully sung. Horribly edited with unnecessary interruptions. Blech.

Gibt es da keine deutschen Lieder??

Absolutely beautiful, thank you so much for this. Everything in this performance conspired to bring perfection. Each and every single singer in this choir. The conductor. The venue. The acoustics. Simply divine (no pun intended)

Thank you. Such music makes the angels smile.

Lovely!

Amazing!

woud've been good to hear the piece of music you were so happy tp celebrate

LOVE this piece! Beautiful performance! Fabulous choir! But talk after, talk before, but DON'T TALK during! Thanks. (BTW, I had Morten Lauridsen for Freshman Music Theory 101 in 1969, his first semester teaching as a graduate student TA at USC.!)

So beautiful!! Parabéns, from Brazil.

Beautiful!

Magnifici!!!

Where's the complete project? Link pls...

Schön mehr Bilder und Ton zum Buch zu haben, konnte es kaum aus der Hand legen!

Wow... Amazing... Just read about Mr. Ganesh Kumar.. in a local magazine called Kumudham ( Tamil ) dated 1.7.20... And searched for his videos.. and found this.. amazing I've never heard something like this before..

Hey nana nana... Kommt mir bekannt vor. Wo kommt die Melodie her ?

Sehr erfrischend !

Bravi tutti! Thank you for this studied, artistic approach to the works of Morten. I own the Deutsche Grammophon recording so this video, and others of yours on the subject, have served as a wonderful compliment to the recording. Thank you!

Beautiful. thank you!

At the liturgy, during this hymn bread and water are sanctified by the Holy Spirit through priest and they become the body and the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ.. So it's a very powerful and holy moment for those present at church..

I was asked a very interesting question: "How did you come with the idea for the first introductory bars? I am basing my question on the original version for piano." Here is my answer: First of all, I felt some kind of intro would be appropriate, i.e. not to start straight away with the Brahms melody. I initially had the tenors and basses singing Ave Maria, Ave Maria, etc, on a kind of drone a perfect 5th apart. This was fine, but somehow it didn't feel very Brahmsian. I then thought to myself, why not play a bit with the first 3 notes of Brahms' gorgeous melody: mi, re, fa. Thus the tenors sing this but not quite in the right rhythm, like somehow they are searching for Maria herself, and then they hand it over lovingly to the sopranos, who then give full expression to the original Brahms melody. It took me an incredible amount of time to land on something which now sounds so simple, and so obvious.

Earth can't afford to lose Europe.

I love seeing the faces of the choristers and pianist up close; the sensitivity, concentration, contained passion.

A bit of a travesty. Johannes will be spinning. Technically good but there's a Brahms setting already he might have preferred.

Excellent. A lovely start to the day. Saved :)

David you have made my day....Ave Maria is one of my favourite pieces....and you have done a great job, keep it up. Congratulations!!! Grace

What a special feeling to be present at this world premiere of my Ave Maria choral adaptation of a favourite Brahms piano piece. Heartfelt thanks to Nicol Matt and the Chamber Choir of Europe for bringing this musical creation into the world. Vielen dank!

I can't rehearse my part to this, with the interruptions

Eifach nur SCHÖN !!!!!!!!!!!! DAS ist FREIHEIT ! Danke für das tolle Video

Beautiful ! For you: facebook.com/estebantozzimusico/ ruclips.net/channel/UCYXWEcDnFDUbaBUE3jcuQIw?view_as=subscriber

What a privilege and a thrill it was to hear this live, first in an empty cathedral during rehearsal, then as one of a thousand listeners at the July 18 concert. Of all the pieces on the program, Lux Aeterna was the "sister" piece to my Ave Maria, both being choral adaptations of orchestral and (in my case) piano masterpieces. What a rich, deeply moving sound Nicol Matt has produced from these amazing singers. Thank you!

perfect!
