Have listened to a multitude of choirs singing this beautiful version of Ave Maria but an all male choir is something else. Absolutely magnificent

Wonderful!!!!

[@reneehorsman1234]

One of my absolute favorites, and so beautifully sung.

[@loganpeters102]

Absolutely gorgeous, I fell in love with this song ever since my high school men's chorus started working on this piece. The ending on this never fails to make me tear up

[@MATTYandMUSIC]

Your basses are SPECTACULAR. What a gorgeous rendition from a gorgeous ensemble! Bravo!

[@yordankaacosta2849]

Absolutely fantastic you rendition!!!!! Thanks!!!! Best, best rendition EVER!!!!!

[@timothylong880]

Wow!! Beautiful!!! Not to mention that beautiful organ!!!

[@prototropo]

Wow--incredible performance! This work is just transcendently beautiful anyway, but without some care it can sound too casual. It's one of the sacred music compositions that commands reverence, even with its jazz-inspired harmonies. The tightly clustered tensions in the melody resolve into the tonic just as compactly. Biebl proves how important a command of counterpoint is for any serious composer. The approach of a finis at 5:23 is inescapably heartbreaking, especially in the genius, languid use of IV9, but impossibly reassuring as well. I'm emotionally spent but grateful after listening to such a wonderful ensemble do justice to this work. Thank you so much!

So Beautiful!y done. Perfect pitch, tone quality....

[@divey6303]

Thanks for the nice birthday present Matt. One of my absolute favorites.

[@thanemcewen6737]

Gorgeous, wonderful balance. I love the arrangement. Great Job!

[@jimmcelhone5238]

I've seen dozens and dozens of recordings and listened to the song countless times, and this is the first performance I've found that can rival that of Chanticleer. Absolute bravo, gentlemen! The final note should have been carried an extra couple seconds for a stronger, more emphatic finish, but otherwise felt flawless. Thank you so much for your performance!

[@scottmathews3777]

Very lovely. Exemplary clarity and balance. I'd never heard of this ensemble before, but I will be sure to check them out now.

Beautiful space (I really want to hear that organ break loose)--does anyone know where this is?

David Hoadley Wayzata, Mn....this group seldom performs with Organ accompaniment.

@@maestroz25 Oh, I get that, but it's hard to see all those pipes and not want to come back for an organ recital. I have been at that church and had the slightest inkling that's where it was. Thanks for confirming!!
