I always knew that Josquin's music makes me cry!

[@jeanluccapri1538]

What voices, what clarity, what a way to express emotion! This unassuming group, is the best accapella assemble group I have ever heard in my experience. May the Lord grant me, to opportunity to meet this group in person. Dr.JL Capri

Hearing this one might finally believe that heaven exists!

[@The_Barefoot_Bass]

I am a barefoot bass singer too, so I deeply sympathize with Arnout Malfliet: it is the best way to ground!

[@sravanaastrid3749]

Magnifique

[@martynthorn850]

Fantastic, amazing singing from everyone. Arnout some incredible low bass notes, didn’t know you could go so low and still retain such beautiful pitch and tone, wonderful!

[@peterwynn4088]

that is a most intriguing and attractive sound

Beautifull

[@gerarddelpech9213]

Sans être inconditionnel de cet ensemble, je reconnais que ce que l'on perd en homogénéité permet de découvrir la singularité de chaque partie. Et dans cette oeuvre ce me semble parfaitement réussi et maitrisé. Et bravo d'oser explorer d'autres chemin.

[@johnandmarylouwilde7882]

hit the nail on the head

[@gids5352]

great Polyphony. Could I use some snippets in my non commercial podcast on late Medieval art?

[@jms2133]

La place de l’ornementation dans la musique sacrée était elle aussi importante ?... Jp Ouvrard avait déjà évoqué cette question dans son excellente étude sur Josquin.

[@stjacquesremi]

am I the only one who hears it at 6:10? "F.... me...." I mean, I know that's not what it's actually said, but still

[@yeah8598]

Lol XD but i think not because the piece is in a old renassaince french probally

[@bella-bee]

Do wish you hadnt!

[@eugeniopapini]

Fac, ut árdeat cor meum.... It is Latin, and not English. if you were more careful you wouldn't have said such nonsense. Stabat mater ..... is a song in Latin .... Sometimes I would like to see the face of those who write such things. What culture that ignorance that people without a soul. it is better if you listen something else you are an offense to art. I pity you

[@pjie2]

The actual line at that point is "Fac me tecum plangere". Full text here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stabat_Mater

[@stjacquesremi]

@@pjie2 thank you. I knew that. When I mishears, I went to look for the text to seek for understanding of where and how I misheard
