Antioch Chamber Ensemble - Os Justi - Anton Bruckner

[@davidhouston1598]

Just have to say, I've spent a lot of time searching for the perfect performance of this on Spotify and KZbin, and this hits all the right spots. Just gorgeous.

[@williamphillips6247]

Such a beautiful performance of this work. I played a recording of this piece at my father's funeral/memorial. But it is this performance of it that made us fall in love with it. Bravo!

[@Scarfsense]

Truly, this is "music from on high". Thank you for your invaluable work.

[@thomas02705]

I've been a singer for 12 years and this is and shall always be my farovite song :)

[@samiam15141]

I would do anything to go back in time and witness this live. Bravo

[@LeoMorikoTheKnight]

A choir this small with a quality as grand as 100 strong.... Such talent and beauty.

[@MsZulka1]

Amazing opus!!! I loved it since the first time I heard and sang it... Excellent choir!

[@alfredthabiso]

Wow ... I have no words ... it takes me to a peaceful place.

[@alhayse]

Thank you for performing one of the most beautiful renditions of this piece I have ever heard.

[@shawniqwa]

"The law of God is in His heart and His feet do not falter." This piece moves me to a place where there are no words. The translation is one of the most comforting things I've ever heard. Thank you for sharing this.

[@16TheBang]

This recording is IMMACULATE and precise consistently!!! WOW... Earth-Shattering performance well done!!!

[@zandiler9010]

Came back to listen to it again. Still the most perfect version I have ever heard!

[@ijskender]

this calms me down and puts a smile on my face time and time again. and again...

[@kmkaranmalik1693]

this made me melt..

[@ToxicPopsicle]

I adore this version. So much alto. It makes me infinitely happy.

[@ijskender]

I am watching this for X-th time now. Inspiring and beautiful.

[@saiga725]

I can't stop crying, it's just so beautiful.we did this at All-Region, and my chorale did it, but nothing compared to this rich, wholesome tone..fantastic.

[@ingotnaga]

heavenly voice.. so beautiful..

[@therealzilch]

A wonderful performance of one of the most heavenly pieces of music ever written. I count myself very lucky to have sung this with the Collegium Choir in Berkeley nearly fifty years ago. Subscribed. Best wishes to you from snowy Vienna, Scott

[@camraid9]

I heard this linked from another video. This video and song has made me love classical choir sound, spine tingles. It used to be just something my folks listened to, and I couldn't get into it. Great work to the people and Anton Bruckner, a genius.

[@Dondobimbo]

this song is so beautiful and this singers are so great.even if i'm in a choir, my singing-skills aren't just a little bit as improved as their skills, i love them.

[@ElizabethAmara]

This is one of my Allstate songs and its really great to have such a great guide :)

[@klaudius313]

sencillamente, es la mejor versión que escuché. Es inevitable sentir que la emoción nos invade en ciertos pasajes. Muchas gracias por compartir este video y permitirnos disfrutar de esta bella obra.

[@sugarspots12590]

absolutely incredible! This past June, my university's choir competed in the Anton Bruckner international choral competition in Linz, Austria. The 20 choirs were all required to sing this piece, and not a single group stayed in tune or came close to the beauty that you bring. Congratulations

[@operaarie]

I never usually comment, but felt compelled to in this instance. This is the best I've heard of this piece live, recorded or otherwise. Almost flawless. Congratulations xox

[@musighitta]

che dire? sono estasiata... bellissimo pezzo e grande interpretazione, finalmente non sento acuti urlati...

[@klavirniinspiromat]

really unbelievable! such sound by live concert! i don´t know any better recording of this piece even on CD... to be at their concert and to die:-)

[@POLYPHONYOFMYHEART]

FAVORITE CHORAL PIECE. FAVORITE PERFORMANCE OF IT. PERIOD.

[@thesingingreader]

best performence by far the altos are really helping me out. this is an allstate piece for texas allstate choir this year and so far it is my favorite

[@promusicality]

These people are fabulous singers with beautiful voices. I love listening to this song, particularly since it's clear that a lot of effort went into it -- and that effort produced a great product. Thank you for posting this here for us to listen to! I intend to listen to this ensemble more in the near future.

[@bullseye1890]

This is ethereal :') i love the precision of your tones and the pureness of the voices. This is perfection

[@suponc]

jaw dropping......Im going to be singing for my California All-State choir and well be singing it this year

[@jgjongsma]

Very very good! I love the sound of only 12 people, and this beautifull piece of Bruckner. Great job!

[@joejoejoe54321]

[The mouths of the just utter wisdom; their tongues speak what is right. God's teaching is in their hearts; their steps do not falter.] Psalm 37:30-31

[@fourassedmonkey]

Absolutely sensational!!! Very movingly sung, and the intonation just perfect

[@singst1]

@gwozdezzz I have to a agree, this is one of the best offerings of this work on KZbin.

[@arby3777]

Wow...what a beautiful rendition! I've only sung this as a massed choir, it was a lovely contrast to hear it sung by a chamber ensemble. Bravo/brava to all the singers!

[@Tundex_Plays]

I love love LOVE this song. It was on a recruiting cd to my college and I have loved it since I heard it. I'm a senior now, and this is my last semester in choir =/. It makes me happy that we are singing this song. I love the balance and tone of this chamber group, as well as the dynamic contrasts. Absolutely AMAZING

[@ijskender]

beautiful music. wonderful performance.

[@mikekarren5010]

What the angles of heaven must sound like!

[@BrucknerMotet]

Mike Karren I never thought of angels as pure trigonometry before. Thanks for your unique insight. Heaven as mathematics.

[@Conan2433]

@David Floren What are you talking about? Angels are holy spiritual beings, something far away from our understanding..

[@clawpuss2]

Second that, it is a gorgeous piece.

[@ethanj671]

Hey, I heard Bruckner did a version of this... ;) absolutely spectacular! My high school ensemble did this piece and I was a tenor I in and it was truely a hard piece. Fantastic Job. I miss singing in a group. Im in college now and the choir here at my college is no where near the caliber of what my high school was. :/

[@clawpuss2]

Lovely, one of the great choral pieces beautifully performed.

[@tonyv8925]

One of the finest renditions I have heard in a long time...sigh

[@hughestenor]

If I'm ever judged by my contributions to quality music in the world; I submit this to the jury.

[@AntiochSoprano]

This definitely has been one of the most fulfilling and spiritual singing experiences we've ever had; I'm humbled that it continues to lift up our international audience through KZbin.

[@agustin6601]

@@AntiochSoprano Compliments and greetings from the Antiochian Syriac Church to you!!! I stand up for you!!!!

[@MidwestSingerDude]

My high school chamber choir is doing this song for our spring concert, and honestly, we sound good, but not as good as this group!!! Kudos!!!

[@jaretchoolun]

I think this is the best Os Justi I have heard on KZbin. Very well done!

[@aruss721]

this is the BEST version i've heard! thank-you SO MUCH for putting this up! good-god soprano

[@CanuckComposer]

Seriously, this version is the best one I've found on KZbin. Sopranos are so dead-on. Blend, tuning, phrasing, head tone - it's all close to perfection. Congrats!!

[@brokenpointes]

Simply gorgeous.

[@Domangelo22]

I sang this in the New York all-state mixed chorus in 2007, and we would end up going really flat around halfway through. This piece is incredibly difficult to not only sing in tune, but also maintain that pure sound. Having that said, this has to be the best I've ever heard this piece performed. Amazing job!!! :)

[@belkismartin7019]

Exquisito!!!! Hermosas voces, precioso.🌿

[@francoismagne5863]

Great job! The harmonics combine to tremendous effect.

[@itslozo95]

wonderful singing!

[@shawniqwa]

this is positively beautiful.

[@clawpuss2]

I looked up the text it reads - The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just ,The law of his God is in his heart; and his feet do not falter. Alleluia.

[@agustin6601]

Could not have expected something less great than this.

[@christianc8909]

Simply Beautiful!

[@tuberwupp]

The core spirit of catholizism - listen to the music and you will unerstand it. Anton Bruckner is our Paul Gerhardt.

[@antiochonline]

English Translation: what to say? I'm ecstatic ... beautiful piece and great performance at last I feel a perfect performance ..

[@4piglite]

WOW!! 8-part divisi in such a small ensemble, and they sound so balanced and pure! I am thrilled to have found this....now if they could've just muzzled that kid @ 2:00...lol Beautifully done, gang!! :-)

[@duvidl58]

Nope, this is about humanity.

[@donnypsmugm]

AWESOME !!!!!

[@christianhaleofficial]

@MrNeilsy AGREEEEEDDD. With EVERYTHING you mentioned above.

[@TheJoyfulPianist]

gorgeous

[@Lapez13]

truly beautiful

[@ElizabethAmara]

@KittyKidAngel Psalm 23 haha.... i fell in love with it during UIL... now i'm just happy that i get to sing it again. :D

[@19StZ83]

Großartig!

[@davocorrie]

absolutely amazing!

[@robotsmaycry]

Well. You all started perfectly in tune and then you actually went *flat*. At least that's better than going sharp like in all the other ones I've heard. This is one of the best versions on here regardless of the pitch.

[@bbbbmer]

thank you, God....

[@arnolfini26]

this is beautiful!! really clear voices and nice sound :o)

[@suponc]

@parzenbua that little kids solo is awesome

[@twomonger]

wow. just wow

[@izifit1]

superbe...

[@MrNeilsy]

This has always been one of those pieces that when I hear it performed well, it touches my soul. Wonderful performance. However, I wish that the tenor and bass voices where a little more present in this recording. It amazes me how in many professional performing ensembles, the lower voices don't record or carry as well as the upper voices. More conductors need to take a step back and spend more time listening for a balance from a distance. That is the best way to judge ensemble balance.

[@ElizabethAmara]

@KittyKidAngel I Sing soprano 2 cause one os the songs i learned for UIL and so i know that song in that part so ill be a soprano 2 for allstate.. ^_^

[@mrtrumpet82]

ez nagyon szép munka, (hungary)

[@niphrim]

Chills.

[@sarahjndonovan]

wow. that was amazing.

[@Varjele]

He was a head of his time, this was composed in 1879-, 130 years ago! so modern

[@werewolf15orlando]

@OfGreatLakes I already subscribed, and I will. Thank you very much

[@loverinn94]

ULTRALIKE.

[@IanTranSend]

@werewolf15orlando Hah, thanks! I wish I knew more about the "genre" or "style" too--looking up the composer of this piece (Bruckner), it's from the Romantic era of classical music, and likely of religious. That said, some contemporary music may be good too. You might do well to subscribe to the Antioch Ensemble's channel and recordings, investigate the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, and explore from there in other chamber vocal/choir ensembles. Happy listening and cheers from the U.S.!

[@erwinwiesinger9101]

It's kind of an anachronism. Composers were not ought to make clerical music from Mozart on, but Bruckner carried a very pious belief from the poor countryside into the already secular-ish cities*, combining that with the most sophisticated form of composing (as far as I can judge it). Correct me if I'm wrong, but the only other composer who combines the qualities of high-end composing with an irreplicable belief is J. S. Bach. * His collegues in Vienna even sent a concubine into his sleeping room once. But Bruckner was way to catholic: He died a virgin. Stories like that made him a name as "half a farmer-fool, half a god". He must have been a total alien for his environment.

[@Santasbestbuddy]

Near perfect vocal performances, balance and blend in the choir is truly enviable! Having said that, for all it's technical accomplishments, I am disappointed that the conductor doesn't take more risks in shaping the phrases and varying tempos a little. Nit-picking though. Marvellous.

[@bbbbmer]

exquisite...

[@mikespiano190]

Makes me think of you

[@teodordl]

YEAH!

[@aclouti6]

00:41 = absolutely overwhelming.

[@robotsmaycry]

@CMsunshinePA the altos go flat on their starting pitch during their solo line. It's very slight, but it is there. They are very good, and very deserving of the rewards they had gotten, no one is questioning that. So please, chill out. Calm down. Thanks. :)

[@hanfan26]

I had to sing this for pre-area. I placed 16th out of 15. It sucksss.

[@werewolf15orlando]

@OfGreatLakes Well played

[@PrincessBakuri]

@Domangelo22 My chorus did the same thing...but then we raised the key about a half step, and it fixed the problem :P Now if only we could work on having decent tone .__.

[@mirandalikespie]

@suponc heyy me too i'll see you there lol

[@bbbbmer]

perhaps one of the great motets in music literature.... and not a bad performance, either...

[@suponc]

@mirandalikespie XD cant wait

[@BrucknerMotet]

lovinthemusic17, spikz69, songsofie, ToxicPopsicle, onilink220 (and many more future KZbinrs I'm sure) are (and will be) in complete agreement with the seven simple letters, stated in ALL CAPS by the indominable donnypsmugm, regarding the Antioch Chamber Ensemble's Os Justi,

[@werewolf15orlando]

what kind of music is this?

[@BrucknerMotet]

werewolf15orlando choral music.

[@mskaitlinnn]

This song is so pretty but I hate singing it :| This was very well done though!

[@IanTranSend]

@werewolf15orlando I'd call it beautiful, but that's probably not the answer you were looking for...
