It is impressive when someone can not only sing soprano, alto, tenor, and bass, but sing them all well too

[@lassebrynildsen7814]

The bass in this songs is actually a tenor.

[@lenkafilipova2461]

I also can sing all parts....

[@medicatedmayo]

@@lassebrynildsen7814 as a choral singer, and someone who’s performed this piece, respectfully, it isn’t a tenor part

[@BLAQGIRL100]

I am crying....what gives you the RIGHT to be so EXQUISITE??? 👀

[@alphabetiris4094]

This is my man. My fucking man. He does all my tracks for chorus and damn well. He has saved me so much pain over the years bro you don't even get it, he has done tracks for every song I've ever done for advanced choir

[@samphibious1]

This is nothing short of the most incredible multitrack I've ever heard.

[@epitropakisroman549]

Sublime. Quand j'écoute, je me dis qu'il existe bien des clés qui ouvrent nos âmes.

[@D00bbymaus]

This is such a simple video and yet it is part of the best content in the whole youtube world

[@classicfan4683]

Spoken from the heart...

[@pamelamccall5653]

Agreed. Exquisite

[@samuelklimas9454]

The Chamber choir for my school is doing this piece. And might I say, WOW! Your tone is one of the richest I have ever heard. Not to mention your head voice is just as powerful as your chest. I'm a tenor as well, and this just makes me want to be better.

[@millennial8441]

Man, you made distinction between soprano and alto colour (timbre) in these female parts. Outstanding! Gifted guy.

[@FelixSR]

I'm speechless

[@robertcollin5750]

What a stunning musical tour de force! Thank you Matthew! And thank you to Ola Gjeilo for the music of this old prayer forever modern!

[@sheelamoore6463]

So beautifully sung.

[@andrewplantgollum8689]

YES.......Matthew Curtis, Tenor has performed around the world with internationally recognized choral ensemble such as Chanticleer, San Francisco Symphony Chorus, Philharmonia Baroque, American Bach Soloists, and the Rose Ensemble. He founded Choral Tracks in 2012 to provide singers and choirs with the tools to revolutionize the way they learn music. Matthew has also worked with composers from over 20 countries to bring their new music to life

[@Zooboo1]

Matthew I really believe that no one knows how really difficult this is to arrange and yet sing. When I was a young boy in 1956, Fr. Cushing headed our boys choir and he accomplished half of what you have done. We were amazed at his octaves not nearly as spot on as you. You are truly blessed, but you already know that.

[@treesarecool12345678]

He didn’t arrange it. And the sound it mastered quite heavily most likely using Melodyne to correct the pitch.

[@Basubasu821]

This is one of the few videos on youtube, that has my complete attention when I watch it. This is very beautiful, and engaging.

[@kellymoore9301]

OH! I stumbled upon this quite by accident but I am now a HUGE fan.

[@Triairius]

Gotta love Ola Gjeilo

[@ramonesteban6103]

I'm a neophyte in sacred music, in spite of it this music moves my emotions, transports me, excites me, inspires me and helps me to continue on my way...music the only universal language that surpasses all borders and barriers. Heartfelt thanks Matthew

[@alexolife]

Wow, so clean and tight. I can hear the subtleties in the arrangement so much better than on a choir recording. Gorgeous, and excellent performance.

[@jonathanpartin9833]

Still the best version I've heard of this piece. Bravo.

[@IzzyManDude]

Used the audio for Tenor and Bass while I was still in Choir during my Junior year (20-21). My Junior year and my most of my classes, of course, including Choir at home on a computer.

[@emmersluvsu1294]

our school choir is doing this for heritage and this was absolutely beautiful! I teared up

[@saxonando5839]

Congrats from the Canary Islands! I´ve rehearsed and performed this piece several times with my actual choir, and it´s one of most moving songs I´ve ever sung. Keep doing this kind of works for us, the real choir music lovers!! Thanks a lot... P.D. I´ll be really pleased if you and everyone who watch this video listen some performances from my choir: Camerata Lacunensis. Thanks

[@alhall6162]

My school is singing this and I think we sound really good. This is my favourite song and I absolutely adore your voice!

[@waynerose7]

[@Just-Another-Baritone]

This was too good. I am not joking when I say I was brought to tears. Absolutely beautiful and for a second I thought this was autotuned. The tone and clarity of your voice is astounding and I wish I could sing that beautiful tenor line without having my passaggio get in the way. At any rate, I loved this so much, I cannot wait to see what else you put out!

[@chrvi3]

This is one of the most beautiful a capella multitracks I've ever found on KZbin. :-) Just beautiful...
