The Eco 💞😂what a heavenly sound

[@davidensminger9483]

...the setting and number of voices may represent the original presentation. Very moving. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

In the beautiful Ladye Chapel of Ely Cathedral. I have been privileged to be in that lovely edifice in my only trip to Britain..... Exquisite sound and surroundings.....

[@edwardhart5466]

Yes very moving indeed, Ely uplifts the spirit towards Heavens very door. Thank you Ely Choir directors of music and organists

[@joshuakampamba9061]

I really love this motet. Can't get enough 😍👍🇿🇲🇿🇲they performed I so perfectly

[@Huineng10]

In my youth I sang in a church choir. We sang this piece too, but I have to hand it to you - this is utterly beautiful. Thankyou so much.

[@Chittaranjanworks]

Beautifully done, Ely Cathedral choir. One of the best performances I have heard. My Church Choir will be performing it this September 3rd. Looking forward to singing it. God Bless you for your uplifting music.

[@meridithlee6286]

Lovely timeless setting and music. Delighted to hear them.

[@vasiliskardasis8642]

The sublime sound of faith, devotion and belief, fills my heart with serenity and humility. I long to be enveloped by its grandness ! Sound so reverend!

[@hudsonbailey674]

One of my favorite Tallis hymns and sung by a choir with rich talent due to its conductor.

[@outlookesp]

...nothing to do with the conductor!

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

‘If he love me’ is an anthem or motet, not a hymn. The singing is representative of the Anglican cathedral choral tradition which is arguably the finest in the world, so this type of performance is typical of what you would hear in any Church of England cathedral, large church or chapel anywhere in England.

Wonderful acoustics in the lady chapel Truly a very porta coeli

[@doubledee9675]

Glorious, and oh, so moving.

[@asaaraaloi2750]

Heavenly voice

[@joelcrow]

Love the reverb you get in a huge empty cathedral

[@DannyEastVillage]

actually, that's the Lady Chapel.

[@WWR38]

Excellent, very moving.

This is perfection.

[@Ely-Cathedral]

Thank you!

[@vasiliskardasis8642]

I am moved by sheer beauty of voices, words, direction and Ely Cathedral..another beauty...Man’s gift to us all.

[@valerioangioletti8820]

Fantastici sublimi.

[@Gilfanon-2]

Gorgeous!

[@kylehancock1458]

How wonderful that this choir and their church community allows a female director.

[@gaggymott9159]

Why?

[@DaveDexterMusic]

Because religion can be, almost is by default, a sexist pile of shit so this is a step forward

[@ransomcoates546]

The gender of the director is not of importance. The singing is.

[@DaveDexterMusic]

The fact that you had to mention it means it still is important and noteworthy

[@outlookesp]

With only eight in the group they don`t need a conductor.

[@chrismalone5325]

One downvoting lamer didn't like the color red... or something..... ;)

[@burizaemon9305]

Interesting....the director is a female/ woman..

[@dleimkuehler]

Ditector should be male.

[@corner559]

And you should shut up.

[@vasiliskardasis8642]

David Leimkuehler Tell me one good reason why? How could that Devine sound be in any way more beautiful ? You’re being square and stuffy. Be generous & step down a tread or two !

[@doubledee9675]

Indeed, why?

[@janesmith9024]

As Tallis worked for English Queens Mary (who gave him a lease on a manor in Kent) and Elizabeth I I doubt he had much of a problem with women in leadership roles - we were in charge of the country for decades in the 1500s
