The juxtaposition between bar setting and sacred text, the complete lack of pretension and rehearsal, the singing for the sheer joy of singing, the total abandon - not caring if they had an audience of not, the absence of professional ego and competition.... This is just gorgeous. I can only hope to fly this high someday. You guys nailed it. Thanks for the beauty you share (how in the world has this only been viewed 74K times???)

[@hysperiona]

That's what I love about this video. The raw emotion.

[@janiceedwards2384]

Ryan Hoover - so well said. Thank you.

[@michaeldoyle6702]

Both choirs know this piece frontwards, backwards and every which way. Thus, despite some slurring of the words, the men sing well.

[@lynnezimmermann2301]

As a good and proper Lutheran, is there any better place to sing to the Lord than a pub? Good drink, good friends and making joyful noises sounds perfect to me.

[@esta1ful]

20 guys go into a bar.........sublime music comes out.

[@dallassax]

Love how the bass singer in the red shirt motions to the other basses to take the last note down an octave.

[@peterjensen6844]

Mr Alatorre is a god among us mere mortal bass singers. He can command whatever he likes :P

[@davidpulanco2715]

ERIC ALATORRE IS A BEAST! I remember singing with him once at one of Chanticleer's workshops. OH MY GOD! The floor under me was vibrating when he hit those low notes!

[@CalvinRE]

THE INCOMPARABLE ERIC ALATORRE!

[@stephenstewart3774]

Absolutely delicious! This is what being a part of such an ensemble is all about. Not the profit from the venue, not the outfit or the color of the bow tie, but the joy of music. This is a wonderful post!

[@robsavant5954]

I sing bass in our choir and when you are singing this you will feel goose pimples on your cheeks, cant explain it. God loves us.

[@mbkierqw]

Walter Savage Landor said, "Music is God's gift to man, the only art of Heaven given to earth, the only art of earth we take to Heaven." The sound is Heavenly! It inspires Peace and Joy every time I listen to it....which is often. Thank you for sharing your gifts and lifting humanity to Heaven.

[@vwsmusic]

Indeed; per Baha'u'llah: "We, verily, have made music as a ladder for your souls, a means whereby they may be lifted up unto the realm on high..."

[@caroleclinton9055]

I’ve have listened to this so many times. Our Chorale sang the mixed voices arrangement so I got to sing it. It’s so incredibly beautiful…ethereal.

[@claudiosonego]

Per me uno dei momenti migliori dell'essere un corista è cantare per noi stessi: dopo un concerto, o durante una cena cantare solo per noi stessi, solo per il piacere di cantare insieme. Quando guardo questo video rivivo le emozioni di quei momenti. Ricordo interi concerti riproposti intorno ad una tavola, con un bicchiere di vino in mano, ma solo per noi coristi, per il nostro piacere di cantare come un'unica voce. In più, questo video ha il pregio di farci ascoltare un notevole interpretazione, intima e sentita. Grazie

[@MusicHavenSG]

Turn up your Subwoofers for the Deep Bass Voicing especially for that final C Chord after completing the Plagal Cadence!

[@garrettr3644]

gosh. I desperately miss singing in choirs...

[@miriambucholtz9315]

Me, too.

[@vwsmusic]

So, what would it take for you to do that again?

[@JewelBlueIbanez]

Two years later, where choir singing is banned because of COVID-19, I concur.

[@garrettr3644]

@@vwsmusic I can happily report that 4 years, I have finally joined another choir ☺️

[@speck8135]

Staying perfectly on key together! and knowing their parts by memory, without looking down at music, just singing together this gorgeous piece -- sheer joy!

[@cantussings]

Thanks 🥰

[@jimkeefe9202]

I wish I could have been there to hear that.

[@tylerhoward2615]

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

[@BigMoneysLife]

I get chills listening to this!

[@MikeKobb]

Best. Bar. Ever.

[@pilgrimelona3041]

+Mike Kobb , yes, best bar, best bar experience!

[@noahhan6592]

This is my favorite song of all time EVER! And to hear my two favorite male ensembles come together and sing it in perfect harmony is so moving and inspiring! Franz Biebl was a GENIUS! Thank You So Much!

[@valeriesmith5780]

Always a favorite.

[@JTSmithMarketing]

I've come back and watched this quite a few times. I love the idea of being in a random place, with a ton of talent, and blowing the bystanders away.

[@gita3088]

What I wouldn't have given to be there to hear that.

[@BigMoneysLife]

This song was BEAUTIFULLY done by both groups! It's a shame they didn't all just form one huge group, because listen to how GOOD they all sound together!

[@fernandolehmann2113]

and the pub has been purificated by the power of the holy spirit. hahahaha

[@serendipity816]

The best two ensembles singing my favorite piece... together! I would have pooped my pants if I were there. Gentlemen, you rock.

[@johnhunter1198]

Talk about phrasing across the bar line.

[@RobbieLambertsinfoman]

OK, you win. Well played...

[@StephenBarlock]

This is hands down the best of all the version of this piece of music, I have ever heard. It is the informal setting that helped make this piece shine, as you guys just killed it. Yeah there was a stumble or two, but they are easily overlooked and is what really makes this so great. I keep coming back to this over and over, wanting more. Unreal. Bravo!

[@BigMoneysLife]

If there was a stumble or two, I didn't hear it. I absolutely LOVE this!

[@mrquartetman]

Great ring on that last chord. Just shows what beer can do.

[@fionadyball1593]

They love singing this. Just joyful.

[@christinebennett-soprano2064]

A very beautiful piece of music rendered with expertise, with musicality and with joy - and where people wouldn't expect to hear it. Fantastic!

[@SrKAtaide]

Glorious.

[@mitchhare1936]

Thank you for singing! This informal setting presents music at its purest art form. Just beautiful. Did I say thank you?

[@Jenifer.flute20]

I dont even remember the piece because it was easily a decade ago, but the college chamber ensemble I was in sang for the people at an end of semester gathering at a restaurant, and it was one of the sweetest, in every sense of the term, moments of my musical life.

[@elizabethwilcox8006]

Thats singing, and in such a holy place!! Marvellous!

[@sttommore]

The piece won't get a better treatment from a bunch of bar patrons ever.

[@pilgrimelona3041]

We've been sharing this on Facebook, with awe and gratefulness. Thank you for sharing your God-given gift of music with the world! You make it a brighter place. You surely brighten up a bar!

[@affectionatelyyours]

I have always loved this piece!! What an amazing treat to see the best of the best perform it!!!

[@blackyforest]

Fantastic, greetings from Germany

[@annw1506]

So beautiful.

[@jacksgirl23]

Wow! ❤️

[@andymadrid5626]

Incredible, love it, Keep posting !

[@Alieaz]

Wonderful :)

[@KeudellMarga]

Chicos, la próxima ves que se junten a tomar unas cervezas y a cantar , me avisan? ES broma, estoy muy lejos... les aseguro que iría con todo placer a compartir su música.

[@mstam6797]

Beautiful. ❤, Thank you.

[@jjr8364]

... and then a drunk came up waving a $5 saying "Now sing something good like Sweet Caroline."

[@delightschwartz195]

or worse yet - "Free Bird". Thank the Almighty that didn't happen.

3:56 when u tell your mate to hit the low C xD

[@elainegmorrison]

Love this!

[@caja42]

Amazing!

[@naturlichich218]

4:08 Look at the guy in the red pullover. He's looking directly into the camera. His eyes look like the ones of a shapeshifter. Go call the Winchesters

[@fredreindljr1996]

This was amazing!

[@tanyadixon8708]

serious outstandingness!! Singing isn't about being "gay"; singing is about being crazily gifted, and downright awesomely TALENTED! THEI OWN IT!!

[@miriambucholtz9315]

I know what you mean. I was never one to make a lot of friends when I was in school but when I had a chance to sing even the relentless bullying stopped for a while.

[@bobock2]

The best bar none!!

[@jumpforj0y107]

Best video on the internet

[@norwegianwarhound451]

I so miss that!

[@GpD79]

Holy shit... I totally went to college with one of those guys. Great job Paul Rudoi! Glad to see you're still living the dream :-)

[@theresep7386]

That's from Heaven

[@billyt4996]

The overtones popping out in this recording 😮

[@snailpaceracing3658]

good to see people drinking and singing.......

[@davidpickett31]

Wow, my karaoke DJ does not have this piece in his book /s

When the pub has better acoustics than your church does.

Make a joyful noise

[@Chris-jh3tg]

I can't like it too many times...

[@GettingItDone]

The overtones on the final chord are ridiculous

[@jamesohare4440]

What happens is the booze takes them flat.

[@michaeldoyle6702]

Something sweet and pure about the relations between gay men.

[@SarumChoirmaster]

IN A BAR! Profane. As a senior nationally known and gay professional musician, violist, composer, choirmaster and organist, I will be burning your recordings that I once purchased and will never again support either of your two supposedly professional ensembles. Guys, singing a sacred piece of music in a bar is grossly out of place, inconsiderate, thoughtless and unprofessional; especially while holding drinks in your hands too!

[@Wizardofgosz]

Seriously? Fucking get over yourself. There is no inappropriate place to perform such inspiring music.

[@Wizardofgosz]

I am laughing out loud at your arrogance! :-)

[@Wizardofgosz]

Ego much?

[@Wizardofgosz]

Why don't you start naming all of the cool people you know, now, too, to prove to us your credentials!

[@Wizardofgosz]

I know JS Bach and he totes would not approve of this!
