Ne Irascaris Domine (Byrd) Ely Cathedral Choir

[@LynneMezzo]

Such heavenly sounds! The Lady Chapel has perfect acoustics for the music of Tallis, Byrd, Gibbons, etc., and if this piece doesn't bring you to tears, then you are hard of heart.

Wonderful blending of voices . Ely Cathedral Choir is outstanding and my favourite performing these beautiful Byrd hymns .

Thank you! I will be honoured to watch them! I have been listening to your wonderful sacred choral treasures - all these heavenly, majestic and miraculous songs - for quite a while and I have been utterly absorbed into them. The Lord God will honour you all abundantly! I am one of your fans and I would like to support your ministry in any possible way.

During my four years spent up at King's, we attended daily services in the Lady Chapel. A beautiful location for a stunning work.

The Lady Chapel. Beautiful. Spent many Sundays mornings in there as a border at KSE

[@pulchralutetia]

Christianity has given us many good things, and this is one of them. SDG

Proud to have an association with guys that can put out music of this level.

[@pravoslavn]

Simply outstanding in every way ! And one cannot go wrong with a William Byrd composition...

[@AntPDC]

I'd like to cross-post this beautifully-sung motet on my Channel, which is not monetised. Should there be any objection, I shall remove it immediately upon request. Best wishes.

This is what Dante's Purgatorio feels like.

Sin and unholy bloodshed do not belong to only one people. 8 MARCH 1782: THE GNADENHÜTTEN MASSACRE IN EASTERN OHIO (Tecumseh, ora pro nobis, AMEN) Colonial frontier warfare was a cycle of atrocities. The most notorious of these came late in the Revolution. To avenge murdered relatives, 160 Pennsylvania militia seized Gnadenhütten, a Moravian mission village of unarmed members of the Lenape tribe. After a vote, next morning the militia took tomahawk and knife to 28 men, 29 women, and 39 children. Knowing their fate, the Lenape had spent the night in prayer, and went to their death with hymns. As late as 1810, Tecumseh reminded his American foes of the slaughter of the trusting "Jesus Indians." Gnadenhütten, by the way, means "God's Protecting Grace." (Below: an Ohio state marker, and the memorial, located amidst reproductions of the cabins in which the Lenape had lived.) ~~ HerrDausch

Wondering who the six mentally disturbed people are who gave this a down vote? More to be pitied than scorned.

[@johnbrazier6503]

Byrd would have been writing with places like this in mind - sacred buildings of the Catholic patrimony robbed in the bloody Protestant revolution. You can hear the depth of his grief in his treatment of the words "Zion is deserted; Jerusalem is desolate". Beautifully sung, but I can't help imagining how Byrd would feel about Anglicans singing it in the space they have overrun.

[@borneodayak479]

Byrd would be proud because as you correctly put it " beautifully sung" regardless of the denomination

[@organisten]

boys or girls; not boys and girls. Sadly so many cannot hear the difference. But for those that can... spoilt.

[@gillesmathivet4288]

Fully agreed!
