Madz sing Riveder le Stelle @ EGP

We Beheld Once Again the Stars (Riveder le Stelle) by Z. Randall Stroope.
The fourth song of the Philippine Madrigal Singers at the European Grand Prix.

[@user-rz9eq1cd7s]

After nearly 17 years, i'm still listening to this tirelessly...it's April 20, 2024 now. ❤

[@pauljacobenriquez]

Anyone brought here by Madz 2007’s reunion concert last December 30, 2023? ❤

[@Noomanaut]

When I was a freshman in high school (2004) I was part of the choir that debuted this piece under Stroope's direction. This is wonderful! I love the interpretation. Just wanted to share how much I liked it. Brought back great memories.

[@southernsky9731]

It's nice how music gets people to together after all these years.. no matter what race you are let me tell yall we are all are one with GOD..

[@rvfb]

MADZ's selection of this song piece was the 'tour de force' of their performance. It had everything the judges would want to hear from the 'pianos' to the 'fortes' requiring a double choir, yet the ensemble was only about 20 people. I wouldn't be surprised if the judges were silently stunned by their powerful rendition. Kaya nga double champion sila and they are now feared by other competitors. A tough act to follow especially for incoming new MADZ members. Kudos and more power to MADZ...

[@RichardHannay]

I wish the video included the clapping at the end 'cuz this is clearly the decisive performance of the night...

[@RichardHannay]

Simply ethereal and transcending... It's like hearing the angels calling out to you...

[@s.t.santos5928]

This could arguably be the best ever performance of a choir, a standard by which to measure all other choir performances in the world. Surreal!

[@junilconstantino5709]

I agree!

[@benp3485]

100% agreed, standard set too high by this choir

[@ericthranduillvargaspenafl4011]

For me, its not arguably, but rather, inarguably the best 😊 without a doubt, they are the best ❤

[@reginstravels]

I agree

[@elainelat8067]

This must be what being in heaven would be like if you were surrounded by angels singing.

[@sentimentaljournable]

The fortissimo at 6:45 until 7:25 is well sustained...how marvelous and out of this world!

[@drewgievan]

The best part is at 6:44 when their voices soared to an amazing fortissimo.. incredible voices.. the sopranos are so good!

[@sentimentaljournable]

And they sustained this for about 40 seconds! Amazing! Heavenly!

[@khaoz07]

I wish this batch had more videos of performances back then... I think they’re the best.

[@ferdinandleano4153]

Plug your earphones from 6:44 until the end ! Im a choir enthusiast but I never had these incredible goose bumps every time hear them (Madz) sing this masterpeice Riveder le Stelle The composer will refer you to this performance as a the world standard! Hundreds of renditions were made but this 2007 European Grand Prix champion is incomparable. A very complex and hard piece to pull but they made it so effortless and they sang from heart which makes one cry

[@zprwn]

This 2007 grand prix's really great. Vesna Children Choir, Taipei Chamber Choir and Philippine Madrigal Singers showed an excellent singing. They're all worth to become a champion. But Mads with this song, a masterpiece, not only shows ultimate difficulty in singing but also a beauty. They deserve the winning.

[@santopapi1615]

Watching this masterpiece again in December 2022, because this choral performance is still second to none for me.

[@kjjayt]

I feel the same way too! I've been listening to this recording since the results of the competition were released in 2007. I miss this batch of the Madz.

[@TheHolisticSoul]

I make it a point that I listen to this everyday along with their other winning songs at the 2007 EGP. Heavenly sound! Perfect!!!

[@donnelram]

Watching in 2020 ❤️

[@McDarylMateo]

This song interpretation of Madz never fails to bring me to a higher ground. Beautiful. Always beautiful.

[@rylecustodio9775]

Pagkatapos niyong pakingan to, tignan niyo kung nakatapak pa kayo sa lupa, baka mamaya nakalutang na pala kayuuu. Anggaling. :)) XDD

[@shineth7]

So clean, sharp, precise, flawless, accurate! The Philippines is so blessed to have these singing angels, the Phil MADZ. We're proud of you!

[@breyvbienfu2728]

2021... I love coming here every time and whenever I feel out of sorts, listening to this never fails to bring peace and calmness into my soul...

[@BlueMusical]

When I first heard this, goosebumps suffused my entire body and I proceeded to rape the replay button. Then I read the lyrics and the story. I went to listen to it again and couldn't stop crying. "It is a story about Dante, the Pilgrim, and his trials and tribulations as he journeyed from the Inferno (hell), on to Purgatory, and finally to Paradiso (heaven). His travel is full of danger and adventure, but he is absolutely dedicated to reaching "the supreme light" (Paradiso)."

[@restyangeles1959]

2020 anyone?

[@leif_1733]

Present!

[@brownasianity]

here

[@imeldavillena1362]

2021

[@junilconstantino9067]

This is the best chorale piece ever written together with Pater Noster.

[@fr1424]

Thats so last year

[@rolches]

grabe, i started listening to this song when i was in my 2nd year in high school, ngayong 1st yr college na ako, hindi pa rin nakakasawang pakinggan tong kanta na to, cguro kahit matanda na ako hindi pa rin ako magsasawang pakinggan ito!

[@alshamir]

Watching again in 2019❤️ never fails to keep me in tears❤️

[@jericomaon1472]

Me too 😭😭😭

[@topetdaquioag1833]

Likewise

[@topetdaquioag1833]

i love watching Madz sing.. all other (non-Madz) versions of Riveder Le Stelle were always lacking the human touch. I am watching this again now at 08 Sep 2019 . :D

[@juanpaoloignacio3972]

Best batch of basses! Enrico, Melvir, Philip and Marvin!

[@md2rn2np2broadcaster]

Eni's one of our choir conductors in NYC! Sang with Marvin while visiting his family in NYC, too! Choral Cheers!

[@md2rn2np2broadcaster]

Don't forget Mark's fave bass Jo-Honey

[@hajukara2303]

@@md2rn2np2broadcaster how did you know that sir johoney is marks fav? just curious haha

[@manyelo02]

Rest sir JH’s soul 😢

[@angeloc.7400]

It's 2023 and I keep coming back to this

[@MrKennethPaolo]

Ma la notte risurge Oramai e da partir Che tutto veduto Ritornar! Vexilla Regis prodeunt inferni! Ma la notte risurge Salimmo su, tanto ch’i’ vidi De le cose belle che porta Ciel, per un pertugio tondo. Quindi uscimmo a riveder le stelle But soon it will be night and we must rise to the stars. Now is the time to depart this place for we have seen and experienced it all. Keep moving! Return to paradise. The wings of hell’s monarch are heard nearby. We must leave quickly, but soon it will be night. I climbed toward paradise with no thought of looking back. I passed through a small opening and finally saw heaven and the supreme light and beheld once again the stars.

[@ferdinandleano4153]

its 2022 and this wonderful piece needs to be played around the world

[@herofb07]

wow ! i wish stroope could work with this group....... i loved it when stroop worked with the national choir......its really great to get insight from him and how he sees the music.....

[@jargarbo]

I first heard them when I was at ccp but, I was a member of a string ensemble that time. They made me realise where I should be. Now, I'm part of a prestigious choir. And I'm thankful that They made me hear such wonderful music. Thank you Madz! Shout out kay ate bianca na lab na lab ko whoo!

[@malignantquiapo]
