Canticum Calamitatis Maritimae - Chanticleer

Chanticleer's profundo Eric Alatorre sustains an amazing F#1 after 9:30 on this live performance of Jaakko Mäntyjärvi's (b. 1963) "Canticum Calamitatis Maritimae".

2:45 What an insane chord progression, what otherworldly tightness in the performance. To call this sound rich would be an insult. Amazing perfomance. Also the chord progression at around 9 minutes...just made me cry. Otherworldly sound.

I was once told that the definition of insanity was repeating the same task over and over but expecting a different result. After hearing that F#1, I now have a new definition. Wow.

[@TheSinglisa]

Truly stunning performance!

[@dmichaelbyler2802]

An ethereal performance! Thank you

Our school’s choir is doing this song for our end of the year concert. It’s hard piece but it’ll be worth it in the end...

[@КонстантинЗахариев-д4у]

It's been some time, but how did it go? Do you have a recording of the concert?

[@LordQueezle]

Thanks for recommending this! It is really quite impressive.

[@LordQueezle]

Every time I hear this song done by any other choir I expect a low harmony note... And am disapointed when I don't hear one. :P

[@KjeXXXer]

Well that was relatively INSANE.

I like how we get the big moment time in the description. It's so cool

[@codyjeter553]

A basso to be looked up to.

8:16 かっこいい

[@utl94]

Some people can hit F#1. But 15 seconds!? That is ridiculous!

[@ZikkityZakOTA]

Even I could hit using gelato fry.

[@MultiKamil97]

ZikkityZak On The Attack But it's chest voice, not fry.

[@miketausig4205]

Seriously. STILL gives me chills, even after all these years.

[@RurczakKurczak]

Okay, F#1 is impressive, but man, that C2 at 5:00! So fat and bassy. The fattest sound I've heard.

[@TheOrlandolassus]

5 feet tall, 300 pounds, PHAT. The John Sutko video on this channel at 2:34 has fat resonance as well

[@Snowsailor233]

The song itself is beautiful but it's backstory not so much. If you know the story the different sounds of the song also make more sense.
