VOCES8 announces Lyyra: When the Earth Stands Still by Don Macdonald

[@alisalavine1052]

Wow. A real contralto. Stunning. As an older chorale singer, I really appreciate that there are so many young voices entering the choir world. There really isn't anything more beautiful than a blend of of human voices, singing in harmony and breathing at the same time.

[@spicychickenboba]

She can also sing as a soprano

[@spmoran4703]

I am a Contralto. We are not heard enough

[@richardseewald4739]

Six women living their dreams. So very beautiful.

[@1pootle]

Oh My... I just can't even bring together the words I want to convey listening to this for the first time. I have waited so long to hear this kind of ensemble.. this kind of resonance.. this level of spiritual vocal depth. It's like layers of ancestors.. related or spiritual.. Mothers, Grandmothers, Great Aunties, Great Great Grandmothers, Sisters.. it's like they all shift through the ages and meet in one place.. coming together to eat and share and love one another.. then they start to sing.. from the silent walls... they begin.. and they raise the vibration of the whole world around them.. and heal the ancestral wounds of time. Lyyra.. welcome!!!!! 🤗🙏🌺💚🌟👋🙌🌈🌷

[@nat51168]

this is a great comment; thank you for sharing this way of seeing this, it has really resonated

[@1pootle]

​@@nat51168You are very welcome.. 🙏

[@michaelpatterson5811]

VOCES8 on ice! Lyrical & Exceptional. With all those key elements that Barnaby has developed so superbly - no vibrato; space; listening to each other; never straining; clear diction and enunciation; and always perfect balance . . . simply, just musicality. Bravo, and all my wishes to you all, Lyyra! Michael xx

[@michaelfoxbrass]

Timelessly universal and ethereal, but also urgently personal and confessional lyrics sung by angelic voices.

[@jimmyjewel65]

Stunning and Angelic........Beautiful Organic reality of who we are ....music direct from the Devine architect that created us all.....Pure Soul music .....Bravo !!!

[@taysain6144]

That low register is FEEDING OMG

[@jamesthornock8214]

Deborah is incredible isn't she?

[@anthonyhumphrey3333]

Their alto 2/3 is lovely! She has wonderful warmth and fullness

[@M0odyBlue]

Beautiful!! I love how you are developing these artists and championing choral music. In this time of over produced, auto tuned, and pitch corrected vocals, your music is a beacon of joy, as we are able to feel the emotion in your voices. Bravo, VOCES8 and I look forward to hearing more from Lyyra.

[@sylviegrupe5057]

Bravo!

[@brittensmusic2692]

Beautiful... ethereal.. wonderful... more.. encore!

[@mcgitarz]

My goodness! Everything Voces8 touches turns to pure gold. This is absolutely beautiful! Can’t wait for the next one!

[@jamesthornock8214]

True, and also it was a ton of work to set up

[@owlley]

Truly beautiful blend.. ethereal and pinpoint accuracy. Wishing you all the best for all that is to come

[@cathcort1]

Another beautiful ensemble...can't wait for more.

[@pinparasol]

Wonderful ! I can hardly detach myself from this exquisite musical moment. Still filled with the magic of this song. Going back to everyday business requires some effort. :-)

[@ankegrund4174]

Tolle Stimmen. Wunderbar aufeinander abgestimmt. ❤

[@leonhenderson9856]

Thank you for the new addition to your group. You all are among the best music on the internet. Words cannot explain the beauty of this groups harmony. I thank GOD that I can find music like this in my lifetime. Again THANK YOU!

[@moneymarty1]

Stunning, wonderful, etherial have all been taken. Let me add "BREATHTAKING" to the fold. Nothing short of the standard set by Voces8.

[@keithball6749]

Every voice distinct, every note perfect, harmonics utterly thrilling.

[@areo2412]

A beautiful new ensemble ❤can’t wait to see more vlogs 👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️

[@williamphilpot2093]

There is something organic about this performance. The group performs as a single instrument. The spooky parallel motion between the top soprano and low alto adds to the mood. The song simply breathes. Lovely!

[@piusinfanger9578]

Einfach nur schön, beeindruckend wie gut und gefühlvoll das gesungen ist. Freue mich auf weitere Aufnahmen.🤗

[@xabulidema9454]

Hoffentlich nicht nur Aufnahmen! Liebe Lyyra-Damen, ihr seid willkommen auch in Europa.

[@billklemm7284]

I think the most amazing bit here is their clarity with the almost whisper-like pianissimo. It creates so much space for the crescendos. Angelic.

[@marcoanello4409]

Being able to create music this way is talent - being able to whiteness these colors is a gift 🥰! Thank you for being as gifted and sharing it with us 🤩

[@petervandewoestijne9371]
