VOCES8: Momentary (Choral Version) - Ólafur Arnalds

[@musicloveunity]

This is so beautiful. My mother and I shared the taste for this type of classical music. Music for big churches❤

[@cclsjhieber]

Who needs words when Voces8 is there with ooh.

[@1earflapping]

I hope VOCES8 explores some more wordless compositions. There's a bunch of good ones to choose from, from composers like Lully, Rameau, Fauré, Ravel, Stravinsky, Rachmaninoff, Villa-Lobos, and some jazz. And film scores.

[@emncaity]

Nobody, that's who.

[@williamstachour4019]

Don’t forget the ah. They’ve got a pretty mean ah as well.

[@katec3896]

Oh man, I would love more wordless film scores from them

[@WoodlandAsh]

I once heard it said that: “if art decorates space, then music decorates time” and listening to this piece whilst currently enduring the agony of losing someone I love really does bring this into perspective.

[@philipthomey7884]

So sorry.

[@GONZAL3ZTHUND3R]

I had a hard day of teaching. Hearing this again, reminds me of why I love teaching music 😭 definitely had a good cry

[@grahamsenior9338]

Perfection. Faultless. I have been performing Chorally for 59 years and your performances never fail to move my old soul. I hope you realise how much you are enhancing my lifes experience

[@ejvaudt67]

Haunting, yet elegant. I could put that on reset and listen all day.

[@pattiday431]

Just have to listen several times a week. It's one of Voces 8's most sublime.

[@tylerleswing]

Amen

[@daveymjohnson]

Quite possibly the most powerful emotion provoking 2 minuets 44 seconds I've ever heard.

[@katespalding2134]

They really immerse themselves into the music and feel every sound, every resonance and every harmony. Sublime as ever I so love this group xx

[@ulrichhobler8755]

Voces8: a definition of beauty and perfection!

[@caf0101931]

We need a 1-hour loop or even better, a 100-hour loop of this incredible song.

[@chadh9457]

Is there a 10 hour version? Or an eternal version? My soul was laid down, and rested for a good 2 minutes and 44 seconds. Sublime.

[@ryananderson845]

Right click on the pause/play button on the video, then click "Loop". I gotchu bro!

[@sussexsurrey]

It’s stunning. They also did Arnald’s Partial and Nyepi tracks equally well

[@mechi001]

Amen.

[@caf0101931]

Couldn't agree more, Chad. Eternal version, please. 😇

Wow. Tears in my eyes. That might be the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.

[@tienmiechen7689]

No need for words, just plenty of feels... emotions... it makes one dive deep into the inner recesses of one's heart and soul. Thank you, Voces8, for bringing Olafur's arrangement to life.

[@HaliPuppeh]

Simply EXQUISITE, as always. I was a choral singer for years, now I'm a composer primarily, and your performances always find a way to touch a special part of my soul. Thank you.

[@ryananderson845]

This is so beautiful. I can't stop listening to it. Ólafur Arnalds and VOCES8, it's just too good.

[@a1ar127]

I’ve listened to many Voces8 presentations on KZbin and continue to be amazed not only by the talents of the singers but by the sound editors that can capture, mix, and make each video so complete.

[@nigelhobday6891]

One of the most beautiful pieces I've ever heard

[@brina8cliffs]

Beautiful! 🇧🇷

[@ScottyTownsend91]

For me this song encapsulates humanity at its core. The imbalance of all things that comes with the good and bad of human beings. Every note and instrument played creates this masterpiece that shows the cries of humanity needing a savior that will free them of their own imperfect ways. Separately all elements are just notes that stand out in singular fashion but together they create this perfect understanding that there is not one element without the other. chaos order misery peace good bad love left right up down backwards forwards past present future hate life death. Too much of anything alone is bad for you. But together it’s what makes us human. Sung in a glorious harmonious sound I don’t think we’ll fully understand but is nonetheless pleasing to our ears. This song always brings tears to my eyes because I see both the extinction of humanity as well as hope for humanity as well. It’s bitter sweet.

Beautiful! I would love to watch and hear you sing Ave Maris Stella, if possible, please. It's my favourite piece to hear in your voices. Here in Brazil acapella/classical music is not very appreciated and it isn't part of our culture, unfortunately. There are a few orchestras around, but we have to look for people like you on the internet if we want to hear something different like this. Thank you for being such a wonderful source of inspiration. Keep doing the amazing work!
