The Royal Wedding - Ubi Caritas et Amor (HD) (29 April 2011)

[@ioche_au]

Dat bass line.... Hot dayum. This is, harmonically, one of the most difficult pieces I've ever had to perform. Definitely makes you doubt your ear a bit. Kudos to these men for making it sound so effortless and beautiful!

[@joshuakampamba9061]

They sang the song in the best version ever. Love this 💕 it was a brand of magic

[@joshuakampamba9061]

It was my favorite part of the day honestly. Perfectly sang ❤❤🇿🇲

[@lauren9004]

Exactly!

[@joshuakampamba9061]

Here again to appreciate how wonderful and heavenly that sounded❤🇿🇲 Brilliantly

[@alikeness]

This was such a moving piece, performed perfectly. I can't begin to describe how incredible I felt just watching it all happening. It's beauty like this, radiating from the wonderful people in our wonderful world, that makes me feel in love with life and with God. I will never forget witnessing this moment.

[@AlyJeanB]

I can't even imagine what it would've sounded like in that cathedral. The acoustics had to have been amazing. What a great moment!

[@ruthlopezguillen5635]

Amazing! Minute 3:14; is an authentic medieval print. I love it!

[@musicrocksmysoul96]

We sang this in the All State Reading Choir, but I had no idea this was done at the royal wedding! Such an amazing piece too, it doesn't surprise me at all.

[@arizonaviewer63]

this peace of music is what i've been looking for! thanks for posting it. this is what my last walk in life would sound like

[@jakestuf]

This is so beautiful, the whole service was lovely. Glory to God!

[@MattHillGooglePlus]

It's one of the most amazing experiences you can ever have. I've been fortunate enough to do it several times and it's life altering.

[@arianaalioth]

I was almost silently sobbing on my knees at this ....this ....this...holy work of art. I love Gregorian chants. But this had my mouth hanging open. And when they showed the shot of the Prince and Princess back in position at the alter I did cry. I hope they have the love to stand the test of time. Their choice of music says they do.

[@lauren9004]

Amazing

[@jonhi1]

The Harmonies in both pieces of music Paul Mealor and Durufle are utterly Gorgeous! I was taken from the very first note...WONDERFUL

[@PaulMealor]

So nice to see people still enjoying this. Please do visit my profile where I've posted more of my music including another performance of Ubi Caritas. Paul Mealor

[@calebtheactor]

i fell in love with this one! harmonies are heavenly

[@vexx34ify]

Amazon.com already has the CD of all the music recorded at the Wedding. I put in my order today.

[@sparksfly44]

thank you so much...beautiful rendition.

[@YTisit]

Really, truly mind blowing. Thank you

[@dyamarick]

@PaulMealor Sir, I could not get enough of this piece at the time of the wedding. Revisiting it again, again I am taken up into the heavenlies. Tomorrow I will be teaching on Psalm 133 regarding Christian unity. We will play your interpretation and read the English translation of Ubi Caritas et Amor. Thanks for being a blessing through your work.

[@daviddifiore]

thanks for this wonderful composition and for showing us how to do it right!

[@arianaalioth]

@PaulMealor Dr. Mealor, speaking as a musician, this piece of music is the only piece of music that comes close to describing the mysteriousness of the intimacy I had with someone one time, with my indisputable other half. It is hauntingly beautiful. I even bought the SATB print of it to secure in the most honored place in my lifetime collection of music. You, sir, are truly good. Highest Regards. -Valerie Roeder, RN, BSN

[@caswells]

Spine tingling piece of music that will live on forever

[@SimonWAtack]

This is truly the music of all Heaven's creation. Perfect and beautiful.

[@musicallytalented2]

paul mealor is my music composition lecturer at the university of aberdeen in Scotland :D so proud of him

[@rlstorey]

Thank you so much for sharing. Good for my soul. ~respect~

[@TheParis121]

chilling & very moving absolutely beautiful piece of music that will touch my life forever x to the charming prince and his beautiful princess thank you for a special day x

[@vexx34ify]

I keep hearing these harmonies in my head, and all I want is to continue to sit still and listen to them. I don't know music theory so can't understand what is happening in the harmonies. People who've been dead and then returned to life, tell of having heard In the other dimension music beautiful beyond description. I wonder if it sounds like this? I shall keep looking for info about Paul Mealor. He must be a very special person. If anyone knows him, please convey my respects.

[@cholland454]

What were those two feeling as this music surrounded them at the altar? Chills.

[@phutureancient]

Totally transfixed when I herd this... glad I found it.

[@TheGloriafra]

Excellent, I loved it.

[@FireAndIce1991]

They did a phenomenal job at singing this

[@TheParis121]

emotionally spellbounding

[@MajorAlenko]

3:36 that little kid, with that heavenly voice, just speechless, I'm an atheist but this song moved me, so beautiful, just perfect.

[@shortbutsweet89]

@MikeTV199 me too, i was mesmerised by it all, it just makes you so proud of Britain :)

[@arianaalioth]

4 people don't know a thing about gorgeous haunting beauty

[@SpearMinti]

So beautiful

[@j12334567]

Fantastic!

[@arianaalioth]

@PaulMealor Honestly...this is a holy work of art. Even moreso than anything painted by Michaelangelo in the Sistine Chapel.

[@ilovebeinagirl]

This music is so beautiful, but that annoying clacking of the photographer's camera that starts at 2:22 when the duke and duchess get up just ruins it.

[@perosterberg]

wonderful

[@Corvussimo]

avivagabriel, the melody associated with the "ubi caritas" text comes from Mediaeval times; probably somewhere between the 4th and 10th Centuries. It may even predate that. Durufle's harmonization of the melody is probably the most well-known. And I agree, Mealor's piece was hauntingly gorgeous, and in my thinking the high point of the entire service.

[@rfrancis8459]

Just magnificent

[@grimeyb0i]

beautiful

[@chantalbernard2]

@jabaris this is available on itunes - there is a whole royal wedding song group

[@arianaalioth]

Late this August, I hope my ....other half....comes over to visit me, and when we finally give in to making beautiful love together, i'm going to make sure this plays at some point. If it played over and over for 3 hours it would be so ........ [speechless]...he makes me speechless.... he is surely the first and last, he is surely my other half, I am surely his slave in God forever; I was, I am, and I always will be...

[@TheAntzh]

Still together?

[@FabulousCooki]

@jabaris Just looked, its on Itunes, the royal wedding - the offical album :)

[@awkwardbarry]

@Toujourmike It is moving, but it's just so slight it looks like the frame remains the same. Look at the kid at the bottom left hand corner; he gradually disappears.

[@vexx34ify]

@BuckeyefanHill33 Yes it is a live recording of the Wedding. Check the cd's page on Amazon.com and scroll down for the contents. Search "Royal wedding".

[@arianaalioth]

@StillLifeWithMangoes They were taking pictures of the resonance.

[@AMDpc067]

What magic

[@SavedSMVElove]

How wonderful! This is a beautiful arrangement. I've sung the arrangement by Durufle. I wonder who wrote this arrangement.

[@mynamesSpartacus]

If I could listen to my soul it would sound like this

[@dyamarick]

@jonhi1 I have heard other renditions here on KZbin. Is this a particular version of the Abbey? I would really like understand who is responsible for this amazing interpretation.

[@dyamarick]

@AllThisLovex So touched by your comments. Could there be anything more reverent, more worshipful.

[@SubaybayUlat]

I agree, really entrancing. But, just a correction, this is not a Gregorian Chant. A Gregorian chant is Monophonic, meaning it doesn't have harmonics.

[@CalmBefore6]

bro, the download links aren't working anymore. the youtube download quality really sucks, can you help me out here?

[@AloisBTrancy]

The Links died... could you please upload them again? Please

[@jabaris]

where can I get this for my Ipod any clues out there

[@dyamarick]

@mynamesSpartacus This is fall to the ground on my face beautiful.

[@simplyshama]

Can we still download this file? The link has expired

[@dyamarick]

@TheParis121 Amen.

[@walleyewinder23]

I would DIE to sing there.

[@Lagerfanny-g7e]

Well that’s stupid

[@cforever88slls3103]

Anybody knows if this is sung in English ubi caritas et amor

[@darjabednarik6534]

It's latin, not english. Here's the lyrics and translation if you wanted one: Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor. Exsultemus, et in ipso jucundemur. Timeamus, et amemus Deum vivum. Et ex corde diligamus nos sincero. Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Simul ergo cum in unum congregamur: Ne nos mente dividamur, caveamus. Cessent iurgia maligna, cessent lites. Et in medio nostri sit Christus Deus. Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est. Simul quoque cum beatis videamus, Glorianter vultum tuum, Christe Deus: Gaudium quod est immensum, atque probum, Saecula per infinita saeculorum. Amen. Where charity and love are, God is there. Christ's love has gathered us into one. Let us rejoice and be pleased in Him. Let us fear, and let us love the living God. And may we love each other with a sincere heart. Where charity and love are, God is there. As we are gathered into one body, Beware, lest we be divided in mind. Let evil impulses stop, let controversy cease, And may Christ our God be in our midst. Where charity and love are, God is there. And may we with the saints also, See Thy face in glory, O Christ our God: The joy that is immense and good, Unto the ages through infinite ages. Amen.

[@robertanavarns]

Bellissimo brano, bella esecuzione

[@danwasfreakinhere]

This is what Heaven sounds like.

[@8311TT]

Listen to the version played at Sophie & Edward's wedding. I preferred it immensely. Much more uplifting & melodious. This is too dour.

[@PaulMealor]

@jabaris I'm just about to release a new recording of this music. Pop over to my profile to find out more

[@arianaalioth]
