I've never heard a choir so perfectly in sync with one another. The blend, the shape, the dynamics; it all happens as one voice. It's breathtaking

At 63 it seems I learn something new nearly every day that I wish I had learned earlier in my life: like how easily something as beautiful as this presentation can bring tears to my eyes. O Magnum Magnificent!

[@davidisherwood]

I've grown to love the repertoire and musicianship of this brilliant choir. So, again, thank you for something so beautiful on an overcast Saturday afternoon.

[@GerryWhite48]

A wonderful version of a beautiful piece of music. The choir is quite magnificent.

Must be what music sounds like in heaven.

Mr. Gjeilo did write this one. He is a terrific composer. His Sunrise Mass is absolutely gorgeous, particularly the last movement, "The Gound", which can be heard here in KZbin.

[@sklausklaus7995]

Esecuzione perfetta,massima fusione delle voci in una armonia celestiale, solo pochi cori riescono in questo difficile compito e voi ci siete riusciti in pieno bravissimi!!!!

[@AndLynGie]

Just sang this for Christmas. So beautiful! We had a cello rather than a violin, which I think was more soulful. Though I think this choir has us beat for the purity of the sound.

Meraviglioso 🎉
