12:36 The original was not a simple framework. You are wrong. It was different but not simple.

Britten was only 16 years old when he composed this.

Beautiful, back of the neck tingling!

I’ve been thinking of this beautiful setting of the “O Oriens” Antiphon for most of the day, since this was the O Antiphon for Vespers this evening. It’s my favourite of the Antiphons, occurring at Vespers after the winter solstice. From this point on the daylight grows each day, and is thus symbolic of the coming of Christ, and in the words of St John the Baptist “He must grow greater, I must grow less.”

I like how they sounded like a human organ how they choir well especially the Signature C

Belíssima.

Beautiful

Mmmm... powerful, can hear quality of each part yet remarkably blended voices. Rendered by only six choristers but sounds like a buge choir. Simply beautiful ❤

Many good insights. and the upper voices are very good, esp with their straight voices. But to be true to the title, the upper voices should have been sung by boys, not women. Its a difference in tone quality more than pitch.

So impressive

Shivers and tears

so beautiful. I wish I could understand just the basic style of such composition

God makes no mistakes

Thank you! This is heavenly! Thank you Lord for the talent You have given to them!

I remember learning this as a secondary school student at a course run by East Ham Education Debden House in Essex.

Bravo!

Exquisite!

The souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them. In the eyes of the unwise they appeared to die, but they are in peace. -Wisdom 3:1-3

Sublime!!! Meravigliosa!

very beautiful

Peaceful, gentle, feminine beauty through song. Thank you. ❤

This will be playing when I fall to my face at God's throne in adoration and gratitude in heaven. For millenia on end this will be my song of choice as I worship Him in the true worship He's ALWAYS wanted and deserved!!!!

That mistake was divine intervention.

There’s so much more to the newest version besides the things mentioned. There’s a ton of harmonic changes that makes a huge difference. And turns the piece from good into a fantastic masterpiece of writing.

Sublime. Thank you.

Repent from sin and change thy ways and follow CHRIST JESUS.

Tout est parfait, simplement parfait....Angélique, divin....

With that title "how Allegri's Miserere should sound", at the very least one should mentioned that it would have been sung by boys. And that sounds very different...

Rather than a mistake, I would call this a sign that God has a very wholesome sense of humor.

Fantastic rendition. If it wasn’t for the video being right in front of me, I would not have been surprised if angels themselves were performing.

Sops with far too much vibrato. Grim.

an exquisite performance

Bravissimi ❤

No instruments needed

Please explain why they are singing with their fingers ontheir neck? I'm guessing they are trying to control the pulse of both the music and the beat of their hearts so thsy are keeping the same time with each other?

This was such a fantastic video, thanks to the musicologist for his insight.

Why did soloist have to go fortissimo for the iconic solo smh

very heartwarming!

Many many thanks for making this available. Such perfect clarity and purity of tone. Achingly beautiful.

Lovely

I must say to agnostics everywhere, if there is no God where does this music come from? And if it comes from humanity, where would humanity get the inspiration to sing such wonderous pieces to God? Faith maybe? Even if it has nothing to do with spiritualism, its what we recognise as 'Heavenly' and that's proof enough for me - when i'm not listening to Metal. Music should be emotional, passionate and moving whether its composed by Tallis, Mozart, Hetfield or Norwegian Black metallers. Take from it what you will, and listening to this I choose to believe in something divine and greater....

Wonderful!

I could listen to the high soprano which sounds like vibrato in areas and the fullness of the two (male and female) on the right. Their voices are just incredible

If music touches one's heart who is to pedantly say "it is wrong" or "how it should really sound"? The living heart is always authentic, the head is at best a signpost, at worst a graveyard of concepts seized by mental rigor-mortis. There are many examples of Bach's music played in sensitive exquisite performances on instruments unknown to Bach - are the 'transcriptions' "wrong"? And, for example, Fadia El-Hage has made a recording of 'The Arabian Passion of J.S.Bach' which I find a commendable touching and respectful blend of two musical genres. I don't find any version of any piece of music "definitive" any more than a human being or a rose can be defined. Much Love.

Other worldly. Your music captures the peace and glory of heaven. Your music brings tears as we experience a joy no earthly reality can produce. Thank you. Thank you for your gift to us.

Useless video. The speaker can not shut up. Make your speech then shut up and let the music play, not you.

So the modern version is a cover that everyone loves.

this is absolutely heaven. Every single performer is incredible!

Just listened to the pet shop boys do a version, it was pretty good.

Beautiful music - Angel Voices
