My highschool chamber choir sang this. They hated how hard it was but it sounded amazing lol.

[@Ladida386]

It really does sound amazing. 😍

[@Alpacallama135]

We just started learning it and damn it’s really high

[@aditiyabcdexyz]

ikr it's really hard

[@AshPlayz-uw4qc]

Our chamber choir is singing it rn wow

[@melkimelki9503]

Bali Child & Teens Choir perform this amazing song last month..and now this song become their a "must" song 😊❤

[@barpe4514]

We started studying it in my choir. After a year of Online or outside rehearsals I heard it the first time indoors and almost started crying. The harmonies, the nolody, they touched something inside me, as cheesy as it may sound 😂 it really got me emotional and I'm glad I can continue listening to this song all night Their performance was absolutely amazing

[@keisimusic]

What a beautiful performance. I have to give a shout out to the incredible altos 🤍

[@antoinettehalberstadt7530]

"Pulchra est" = It is beautiful. And isn't it just! As a Canadian who is occasionally treated to experiencing the Northern Lights, I tell you this sounds just like how the Northern Lights feel and look.

[@naramadom]

Dear, it isn't really about nothern lights.. But probably you must know by now. 😏

[@juliakwiatkowski647]

When I first heard the song and new nothing about it, I assumed from the title it must have been a new song about the northern lights. However, it is actually a passage from Song of Songs and the first line translated is: "Thou art beautiful, O my love, sweet and beautiful daughter of Jerusalem."

[@julietawse6024]

If it moves one's soul like the ethereal Northern Lights can do, then who is anyone to say it has to be otherwise.

[@TheKevinRico19]

@@naramadomFrom my understanding, Ola Gjeilo composed this after experiencing the Northern Lights one time. So although it’s not directly about the phenomenon, it still plays into it

[@francolupo23]

It's so amazing to see people sing Ola's pieces all over the planet. He has planted his vision into people's hearts everywhere.

[@christinaherwartz2915]

Okay if I'll ever be able to perform this I or sing like this for one day I can proudly say I've reached one of my lifegoals.

[@RichardASK]

That was just wonderful. To my shame, I had never heard of Ola Gjeilo, but I certainly have now. Those young choristers were superb. Very, very well done.

[@annekathrinesonnichsen]

Stunning performance! I just started singing the soprano voice today, and when i sang the first sentence, i felt so at peace. Great piece!

[@rmturati9078]

The best version I've heard! I'm overwhelmed!!!

[@tchat2004]

I've got to learn it for next week, my choir gives a concert in a church and it's a last minute thing. So thank you so much, I'm gonna listen to it again and again until i've memorized it perfectly!

[@tchat2004]

@@hannahreynolds7611 Judge by yourself! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rZimn6auocuNqNE at 24:00 Not so bad I think :)

[@wisegurugirl]

OMG! This piece is by far so hard to be a last minute thing. But if you were experienced, I guess with hard work individual and in group, you nailed it. If you wish, tell us how did it ended up!

[@InfiniToast1]

Which vocal part were you?

[@tchat2004]

Soprano! ​@@InfiniToast1

[@tchat2004]

​@@wisegurugirl, well, i think we Nailed it, but yes we were an ulmost professional choir, it was just hard work!

[@horacioandresdomenicucci9518]

Que belleza de obra!!! La estamos preparando en mi coro de Bahia Blanca, Argentina. Felicitaciones para el coro Australiano.

[@brianSalem541]

Œuvre magistrale sublimement interprétée !

[@empanada65]

Flashing back to when I performed this song. I completely forgot I even did it until the bass part just started appearing in my head

[@martincorsiglia8322]

Hermosa interpretación

[@ukaszm2007]

Delicious performance :)

[@troubleatmill1]

Absolutely brilliant just stunning.

[@Luca-gj9xn]

You are very good and Gjeilo is a truly genius! My choir sang "The Rose" and "Days of Beauty" with new arrangements, both adapting for mixed choir, with male and female voices and making spectacular videos! We were able to reach the same Gjeilo who was thrilled. Write this in the search: you will surely like them! Corale Novarmonia - Days of Beauty (O. Gjeilo) SATB Choir Corale Novarmonia - The Rose (O.

Wow

[@胡紫明]

Can someone teach me the pronunciation of this song? I am Chinese. We are learning this work, but the language problem is not easy to solve.

[@vickyrodriguezbrum9960]

Did you solve the problem? I can try to help, but I dont know how to do it here on KZbin. But if you know, tell me and we can try to solve it!

[@Felistrocity]

I'm probably too late but.... Pool-craw ess ah-mee-cah may-ah, soo-ah-vees eht deh-coh-rah fee-lee-ah Yeh-roo-sah-lehm. Eht-deh-coh-rah see-coot Yeh-roo-sah-lehm. .......i forgot the rest of the words but I've done this work before. Latin has pure vowels. O is oh, E is eh, A is ah, U is oo, I is ee. J is typically pronounced as a Y, and there are only a couple instances in this particular work where the C is pronounced with a ch sound, such as when the word Fecerunt comes up. That's feh-cheh-roont. Other than that, roll or flip your R's, and qui is pronounced differently depending on director preference. Kwee or Key. I'd stick with Kwee for that one though.

[@ianbarnes997]

@@Felistrocity "u" in latin isn't quite "oo" or "uh" but somewhere in between. also "may?" There should never be the "y" dipthong in a word like "mea." It's pronounced meh-ah. But otherwise nice job I'm just being super picky. Too many Americans think "me" in latin is "may" etc.

[@Felistrocity]

@@ianbarnes997 yeah, you're being EXTREMELY picky. Glad you realize that. Also it's "think" not "thing". But that's just me being super picky.

[@SamMooredwhofan42130601]

Do u need the Lyrics? Or the title?

IS that rumble traffic, outside, or trains?

[@lawrencehodge7085]

its a great version...but the second part....in Ab?? Kinda clever! (Y)

You know what I hear in it? I hear small parts of the game " Halo "

Sopranos on point.

[@naharemet8284]

How was this recorded?

[@glibbergloop]

I think with microphones and cameras

[@oldgoody1]

Very competently I would say.
