Tarquinio Merula: Hor ch'è tempo di dormire; Voices of Music with Jennifer Ellis Kampani

[@VoicesofMusic]

This is just amazing.

[@c.g.marseille4510]

yes, dit is extreem mooi, de muziek en de zang, de klanken, en bovenal de tekst van het lied/gedicht

[@c.g.marseille4510]

I was looking for but did not found, who knows de name of the poet of this beautiful poem ?

[@WolfyGreen]

The hypnotic alternation of the two bass notes evokes the rising and falling breathing of the sleeping son; while the meditation of his mother expands through the bitterness of death towards a different order of hope. It is a marvelously moving depiction of a universal maternal affection - thank you for uploading.

[@VoicesofMusic]

You are very welcome!

[@ChrisBreemer]

Great comment, thanks !

[@c.g.marseille4510]

Thanks Wolfy for your words , it's true you say

[@tatalito]

a "perfect definition" , Wolfy

[@wjue]

Sublime ! Je ne cesse de revenir écouter cette interprétation !

[@jgcaesar4]

Mesmerizing.

[@TheDRACOMUNDI]

Beautiful.....

[@robertlanghammer]

Music like this will be known and loved tomorrow, next week, in a year and in the centuries that will come long after we have gone. And such excellent and moving interpretations like your work does not only help to bring such outstanding music to a whole new generation of listeners here on KZbin but is simply a great pleasure to watch and listen.

[@tatalito]

really amazing...I'm wordless..

[@concentusxl]

Questa ninna nanna è costruita sopra un basso di sole due note... incredibile ! Maria culla il piccolo Gesù presagendo la sua fine dolorosa sulla croce. Pura poesia di parole e di suoni. Greetings from Italy.

[@micheleprisco7769]

Non avevo capito fosse dedicata a Gesù. Pensavo che fosse il destino comune di tutta l'umanità.

[@kittichord]

Breathtaking singing; the continuo group demonstrates a flawless artistry.

[@gianfrancoorienti8739]

Meraviglioso. Brava Jennifer wonderful Ensemble.

[@jacklisiecki2389]

Wow! Sung with great emotion that is conveyed to the listener. An outstanding performance. Brava!

[@ChrisBreemer]

This is almost painfully beautiful... Such depth achieved with only a few notes and the simplest of means. Repetitive yet mesmerizing. Light years away from the senseless poppy drivel that is nowadays most people's idea of music. A most wonderful performance from all, especially the singer with her perfectly suited and pitched voice. Thanks so much for this !

[@c.g.marseille4510]

Many many thanks, ook Lawrens Rosenwald voor de vertaling !

[@danielperroni3884]

Maravilhosa Soprano-Dramático. belíssima voz..! Amazing Dramatic Soprano, beautiful voice..!

[@maejmettler]

Beautiful

[@kristenrosales2919]

This is hauntingly beautiful melody. I am transfixed to this song.

[@daviddelmonte9669]

Beautiful!

[@VoicesofMusic]

Thank you!

[@danielwaitzman2118]

Ineffably gorgeous!

[@MichelBruin76]

Un répertoire que j'ai découvert avec Montserrat Figueras et que je retrouve dans cette interprétation sublime de Jennifer Ellis Kampani

[@lessismore5]

This song brings tears to my eyes and chills in my inner being.

[@VoicesofMusic]

Same

[@ericgodfrey9484]

A mesmerizing piece in a stunning performance. My wife and I watched/listened in awe.

[@VoicesofMusic]

Thanks so much!

[@jblazar]

I just did a search for other performances of this on KZbin. None come even close to Jennifer's tear-inducingly beautiful performance. I was at the Palo Alto performance and must say the acoustics in this recording at the SF venue are better, but both are fantastic. The insistent repetitive bass line on the viol, theorbo and organ are perfect accompaniment. This solo is one of the best I can remember ever hearing. Bravo!!!!

[@VoicesofMusic]

Thanks Bill, I'm so glad we recorded it. And it is all one take....

Jennifer, That was so beautiful !

[@elodieadams68]

I am in awe of what this period of Christianity could inspire to a musician. Absolutely in awe.

[@youtito9472]

Braviii

[@AndreaMariaArias]

Your performance is celestial. This is pure art!

[@diegoteruel7069]

Heartbreaking, unbeatable and wonderful interpretation of the music of Tarquinio merula, sublime musician of the venetian school and with a superb text!😍😍

[@VoicesofMusic]

:)

[@M.R.A.11811]

The end makes me almost cry. Maravilhoso.

[@MMilhazesDanca]

It is so beautiful !! Waves of a deep love !!!

[@brightstar4702]

Grazie!

[@ИринаМорозова-ф3у]

Очень впечатлило это произведение! Тонкое исполнение! Прекрасно! Благодарю за запись!

[@davidmatcham3415]

Unbelievably beautiful singing!Love it.

[@caioviana]

incrível. Não canso de ouvir.

[@alvaromunoz934]

beautiful, thanks!!!!

[@davidbellugi]

A magnificent performance!

[@USQFoodie]

Beautiful Indeed. The late Monserrat Figueras has recorded an equally haunting version. I believe I heard her perform it with Jordi Savall and Hesperion XX in Geneva or Neuchatel in the 90s.

[@haimlute]

Pure beauty!!!

[@melisandedebussy]

esto es el cielo, que maravilla!

[@listenerJW]

The best of the new year. Lovely voice and interpretation - wonderful ensemble with the theorbo, viol and gentle baroque organ

[@AndreFelipeJunqueiradeSouza]

Wonderful voice, nice performance, great sound and ambience! Thanks a lot.

[@OBATET]

Excellent! Sublime!

[@doctorfate77]

Stunning, Jenny.

[@QuillClassics]

Beautiful once again!

[@VoicesofMusic]

A nice piece for your ensemble~!

[@QuillClassics]

Hmmm ...

[@467ABBA]

Solo queda cerrar los ojos y dejar que el lamento llegue a lo más profundo del corazón

[@ИринаМорозова-ф3у]

Очень талантливая и артистичная певица! Удивительное впечатление!

[@spuddyl9938]

Beautiful. I missed you guys.

[@sueleeks9243]

What a discovery - Merula's music and this stunning voice.

[@VoicesofMusic]

Agree!

[@SantiagoGarcia-od5gr]

Magnífica, magistral melodía. Una poderosa voz.

[@kkiijjii]

日本語しか理解できないですが、心が救われる歌です

[@Eleuthero5]

Jennifer Ellis Kampani's voice is a slice of heaven. I think she also sang in "Su la setra amorosa" by Jordi Savall's group.

[@VoicesofMusic]

Jennifer Ellis Kampani's voice is a slice of heaven indeed :) Jordi Savall's "Su la cetra" was sung by Montserrat Figueras, may she rest in peace.

[@nutapete2011]

Another great work. BRAVO

[@caronovellezealandes]

Superb! A wonderful work and one I will listen to many times.

[@jblazar]

I just figured out how to use my big screen smart TV to watch KZbin videos. What an amazing performance! No matter how many times I watch it, I'm moved.

[@wb6kuw]

How do you do it?

[@jblazar]

Jeff DeMarco My remote has an 'Internet" button. From there, I can select KZbin and enter 'Voices of Music' and then select this video.

[@VoicesofMusic]

@jblazar KZbin has pretty good quality :)

[@waelatef347]

رائع

[@arleteaguerra]

Maravilhoso!!

[@_NeveahWatson]

Mother's love......... ❤

[@Fell_Wanderer]

its hard not to switch off once you start listening..

[@AlessioAndres]

The sound of Merula is wow

[@VoicesofMusic]

Agree!

[@archiecook55]

My professor in my music theory class showed this to my class!

[@VoicesofMusic]

Fabulous.

en wat een schitterend gedicht, in het Engels en in de vertaling van Lawrence Rosenwald

[@NoNo-vy3dg]

What language is this? I want to say Italian but I know so little about European languages that I don't even know what it is.

[@VoicesofMusic]

17th century Italian.

[@NoNo-vy3dg]

Thank you
