I have been a choir director for 40 years , and in my life ….I have never heard a more glorious sound ….absolute perfection ….heaven! Best vocal group ever . I’m in awe ….thank you for a moment of heaven here on earth .

[@user-qn6py4fb1b]

Это точно!

[@drewjamespatrick4054]

This is like a dream....similar to being back as a young-adult with friends in a choir or acapella group and you begin a vocalise that you do not want to end, because you somehow achieved a harmonic nirvana...No? Just me? Anyway, Stunning!

[@Irishsong22]

I feel this way all the time. Performing in music is so astounding and impermanent. The feeling is there, a group effort, and then once people stop making sound it's gone! It's so simple, but so beautiful to behold.

[@biggic2004]

I totally remember those moments.. It's when you think you don't want to wake from that dream...

[@derekalmquist1537]

I've been there. Understand exactly what you mean.

[@AndrewDean777]

Yes, Drew. But the Beauty that is the music does not ever cease. What happens is that singers and choirs make it suddenly present for our ears to hear, our hearts to feel, our links to meld with others around us. And when they stop singing, part of us knows that the magic is still there, but just less visible.

When i clicked on this video i died. I woke up in Heaven to the Voces of 8 Angels.

[@Ancestralwish]

This is what the grace of God sounds like.

[@2NY100]

We are but dust. Perfect for this Ash Wednesday

[@leif2660]

I love everything Voces8 releases but this particular piece has a special place in my heart. It touches the soul so deeply. A sense of peace and innocent beauty washes over me...thank you so much!

[@dima-dobro]

Вы счастливчики, раз вам было позволено это услышать)

[@peterg2026]

Can’t imagine how proud Jóhan would have been. This is truly majestic!!

[@patriciararick3245]

Rises and settles like a pile of dust. Absolutely lovely.

[@vladyats]

I thought the same

[@clarephillips8552]

There is no instrument more beautiful than the human voice.

[@eliseives9574]

I imagine this is what will greet me as I'm passing away.

[@phoneskill78]

My sentiments also!!" ❤❤❤

[@terrygreene1395]

I don’t want this to stop.

[@totoro123]

This is beautiful… it feels like the vocal equivalent of Barber’s Adagio for Strings

[@ravenwingstudio]

Ooh indeed. Totally beautiful. Huge fan. Can’t wait to see them live again after much too long locked indoors. Voces 8 are truly one of the very small number of things that have helped me keep sane (relatively) over the last 2 years.

[@joaquinalmeria1]

Just amazing. Wow. 2:48, absolutely WOW.

[@therealhaemony]

A gorgeous vocal tribute to a fantastic piece/composer. RIP Johann Johannsson.

[@katespalding2134]

I cannot express how totally stunning this is. Every nite, every phrase and raised eyebrow expresses an infinite amount. In all the current horror and inhumanity, this is a true oasis of beauty and serenity Thank you for being part of this world

[@katespalding2134]

I was writing this in the dark! Nite is supposed to be note!

[@robinhector]

Agree Kate , really so beautiful . And it is so helpfull when you know whose voice is adding to that perfection

[@TrebleWing]

While I feel I am utterly grasping at straws when I come to imagine what it took to create this, what it takes to perform it, and what it may take to reach such altitudes again in composition and performance, I know one thing is for sure; I'm so thankful. I'm just so incredibly thankful for being in this moment now, experiencing this second with all of you.

[@Mr.MoneyBags1]

Not a single word uttered yet so much communicated. Music truly is a magical medium. For the good of humanity, please sing Geistliches Lied Op. 30 by Brahms. The world needs it. I need it

[@JamieSantos]

Amen.........

[@8413Lucas]

I'm just in awe of the ineffable beauty that you are able to convey through your music, that's absolutely gorgeous.

[@ohmy5650]

🙏 Holy Lord 🙏 Talk about a 🎁! There's definitely an unfathomable gratitude my heart needs to express here. 💎

[@martin5504]

Can't listen without crying. There is something that touches me deeply in this performance.

[@rkynj756]

Dear Johann, the world misses you very much. Thanks VOCES8 for this wonderful arrangement.

[@roserichmond-nkosi9026]

From South Africa. Gracious Requiem Mass melody. Spectacular voices. Just tearing

[@ElliottG1995]

Earth to Earth.. Ashes to Ashes.. Dust to Dust… The way Voces8 deliver Johann’s pile of dust is just so bittersweet and just so perfect for a funeral; we die, we ascend into heaven whilst our bodies turn to dust… Thank you again Voces8. 🖤🖤🖤

[@skydrop8809]

It matters. It matters not. It matters naught, but. It matters naught, yet it matters so.

[@valerioangioletti8820]

Stupendi...straordinari...braviiiiiiiiiiiiii.

[@danyalzangeneh6244]

You guys have healed my soul in ways I cannot explain, it's like you had to be there... Thank you

[@juliangittings6423]

A pile of dust that is what we are and will be. Breathtaking music that reminds us of the brevity of our lives and how we need to make every moment matter.

[@JemDuckmanton]

This is utterly beautiful.

[@rg533able]

I never cease to be amazed by the choices and delivery of repertoire with Voces8 . Truly - thank you!

[@bethanykarnopp9508]

I am so very grateful for the gift you give. Thank you for contributing such wonderful energy with those around the world. May we all strive to spread such light.

[@m.j.r.dehaan1824]

This is singing at the best. Heavenly ! Thanks 🙏 for uploading at KZbin. With a warm musical greeting from Hoorn Nh. , 🇳🇱 Netherlands

[@justin.morgan71]

My favourite song from my favourite album by Johann. Love, love, love this….. Thank you beautiful people! Much love….

[@Hiddenkeymaster3]

The sound of this composition cannot be truly conveyed by my speakers, as the music is too inspiring and touching to be replicated by technology.

[@miamirabel]

Thank you so much for giving me so much joy listening to your almost otherworldly singing while going through a very challenging time. 🙏🏽✨❤️

[@LittleFiddlyBits]

Once again, Voces8 reduces me to tears. Absolutely beautiful.

[@PnnexD]

I have commented on this video before but I don't care :) It's just so utterly beautiful and striking, with the build-up and the calmness after the climax. This piece just touches something deep in my soul, it makes me cry so often and I don't know why.

[@jnoyes333]

yes...me too

[@jamiemorrison8434]

What a moving piece. I am just becoming aware of Voces8 and my life is better for it. This song is five minutes long with half of that just recovering from that insane climax. Bravo for an incredible performance and experience.

[@valeriechapman1612]

Voces8. - Johannsson: A Pile of Dust. (Arr, Rimmer) This stunning piece of Choral music has just blown me out of my comfort zone but in a terrific way. This choir are in no hurry to finish this emotionally beautiful piece of Choral Classic music. You could almost say it’s timeless because it’s so soothing to the soul as well as your heart ❤️ and mind too. What a delightful piece, of which, I wasn’t expecting to enjoy so much. Thank You to the Choir for performing this to perfection. Well Done All. Wonderful !!!

[@roserichmond-nkosi9026]

Greetings from South Africa. In preparation for the Holy week, I replayed song . I crumbled and cried uncontrollably from these heavenly voices. Oh Gracious Lord, forgive us our sins. We adore you profusely. Thank you Voces8 , be blessed

[@loicmaignan3298]

Am not normally a fan of VEVO videos, but this is outstanding.

[@ozzyg82]

I’m getting slight Saving Private Ryan/ slow mo war movie scene vibes. Lovely stuff as usual guys.

[@billbrockman779]

Like Hymn for the Fallen? I agree.

[@unwanted5681]

Too true

[@JackStevenson5045]

Nothing to say that I haven’t already said. Thanks so much for your work.

[@stookinthemiddle]

I started listening on my laptop speakers and had to stop a few moments in because I knew this deserved better. Ran and grabbed my high-end headphones are SO GLAD I did. Thank you voces8 for making my shitty day a lot brighter with your beautiful music.

[@kumarmangalampatravali660]

A beautiful vocal symphony.

[@emiliozaq2898]

Definitely outstanding. Everything is beautiful: music, singing and singers themselves. I'd rather prefer ties not bows, that's but a detail. The end result is heavenly.

[@valerioangioletti8820]

Fantastici professionisti in tutto esecuzioni straordinarie... Vi abbraccio..tuttiiiiii...grazieeee.

[@maxinejackson7075]

Such an unusual way of making music so that it can sink into your entire body without any instruments to distract the mind .

[@esme011]

I woke up to this playing at random on my IPad…what a blessing, so ethereal

[@danswansonguitar]

Wow, that climax from 2:28 to around the 3 minute mark is outstanding! Another Voces8 performance that outshines the original.

[@mosart7025]

So I'm working in Photoshop and random music is on autoplay. This angelic sound fills the air. Me: That's lovely. After a bit the high notes come in. Me: That's gorgeous! A few more minutes of beauteous serenity and peaceful exaltation Me: That's VOCES8!!! So I came here to check and it is! Thank you!
