The solo violin part in the background is just heart-shatteringly beautiful... I love it so much.

[@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401]

It does add to that Angelic dimension....

[@kf9as]

My favorite movement of this magnificent work! When I hear or sing this piece, I can't help but envision a choir of angels appearing in the sky, singing praises to God, then slowly fading away back into Heaven leaving me with a feeling of, "just... wow!"

[@trishka1966]

Thank you for putting the music to this; I sang the alto part with my mother for a church concert and it is wonderful to sing it again and remember that wonderful time!

[@rayfluke9525]

All two notes??

[@MrEjidorie]

This is the best version of Faure`s Sanctus which I`ve heard so far.

[@sarahhearn-vonfoerster7401]

Just beautiful...such an unearthly blend of voices! I always loved directing choirs in this inspiring Faure opus!

[@peregrinusmmvii7384]

Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus; Dominus Deus Sabbaoth; Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria Tua. Hosanna in excelsis. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis.

We’re doing this song in our all county select chorus, im a soprano in my schools chorus, yet they organized us by district, so I’m a tenor. It’s different, but this is such a beautiful piece!

[@swagstorm9629]

Actually. It’s just lazy organization. Like I said, they organized us by district. Me and the other person doing the select chorus are both pretty dedicated sopranos, and we’ve both never been assigned to a tenor. Luckily, the notes weren’t too out of range.

[@caroldavis6928]

Beautiful.

[@Brewster3098]

I feel sorry for the altos who only get one word on one note at the very end 2:27

[@wwemario12345]

Henry Brewster haha lamfo right. Oh well I feel sorry for everyone else who doesn’t get any note in IV

[@paulaflynn4497]

Actually not trying to be rude they're actually singing most of the song

[@newsies_obsessed8486]

In my school we have to sing the Sopranos part except for the first "Osana in excel sis" it's way too high for us.

[@xielianandhuacheng-myotp2077]

The altos in my school sing both tenor and soprano and altos.... if they don’t have a part that is

[@annlamoureux2173]

Thank you! I'm an alto and I hate that! Also we don't get much in "In Paradisium." I love the work, however. We were going to sing it next Sunday-now it's cancelled, like so much else.

[@TheBillbee]

Beautiful

Endeavour season 1 home episode bought me here

[@sjaakenjokeppbroere9983]

Mooi

[@auspicious99]

sublime, as always

[@jv04jm]

@MrEjidorie I couldn't agree with you more! I love the inclusion of the organ at the Hosannas! :)

[@louisblomfield7334]

this should be the music played at every ascension if i went up id sure love it to be to this

[@piabridge7202]

thanks for uploading this

[@preposterous3637]

The violin part

[@xtracheeez]

A children's choir is the best way to get the soprano line perfect. Brilliant idea.

[@wwemario12345]

If you want to advertise this piece. Show them this movement. This to me was the male feature. Great stuff

[@reynadejesus9349]

I sang this last night at Carnegie Hall.

[@xFaithxCAN]

beautiful

[@afroscot12]

Which St. Mary's this? Is it the Episcopal or the Metropolitan?

[@joejocas8748]

This Piece sounds both Holy and Romantic for me.

CANTANDO EL SANCTUS DE GABRIEL URBAIN FAÙRÈ Y MIRANDO LAS PARTITURAS--

[@tessgregory987]

Well, it was very good, but the sopranos were atiny bit flat at the end. And some notes weren't held for long enough. Oh, and the latin pronounciation of 'in' is 'een'. Someone needs to tell the choir this.

[@organ444]

+Tess Gregory I'll be sure to tell Edinburgh RC Cathedral organist Simon Neminski that you have so many helpful criticisms to relay to his world-class choir. Unless this was sung by the Anglican Cathedral choir in which case they'll just have to struggle on without your advice.

[@tessgregory987]

Thanks - I hope Simon Neminski really does find my comments useful. Loads of choirs have struggled on without my advice, which is why there are so many bad ones around. Oh, well. I can't be everywhere at once.

[@organ444]

+Tess Gregory Haha, I suppose the most efficient way to reach out is through the power of KZbin, on seven year old videos, in which all the trebles' voices will have broken by now!

[@cspencer6891]

Tess Gregory obviousness you have hearing issues. They did sing een.

[@crysiscore2051]

@@organ444 What a beautiful takedown of a pompous ass!

Redoutable à chanter... Notre chef de choeur s'est arraché les cheveux!!!
