VOCES8: Ubi Caritas by Ola Gjeilo

[@avogrid296]

I don't know which is more gorgeous -- your harmonies or your unison. Perfection is rare in this world, but this is it.

[@avanterdo]

Latin is not perfect...it sounds like French speaking English or the other way, a bit odd...Da vero!

[@Waldlaeufer70]

Every country has its own rules on how to pronounce Latin in singing. Imho there is nothing odd about this.

[@aidananderson8535]

@@avanterdo There is a right and a wrong way to mispronounce latin

[@infour44]

In these ‘troubled times’ music and performances like these are the balm, comfort and hope of our days; reminders of how beautiful harmony is and how discord can be so ugly.

[@andrewelliott1939]

But I would stress that it's not JUST the music; it's to whom the music is orientated - our eternal God. He is the balm, the comfort and the solution to our troubled times.

[@ankejansen791]

@@andrewelliott1939 You don't need to believe in any god to find comfort, hope and peace in these beautiful voices.

[@landbodyscape4124]

Indeed! We dont need to believe to God, to find comfort hope and peace in this gorgeous music. But, in fact, it depends on the circumstances we get in and the troubles we face. Sometimes, the music is not enough. And God, is not there to believe in Him, but to run to Him, to find rest.

[@andrewelliott1939]

@@ankejansen791 And yet the words and music are expressions of and inspired by a relationship with God.

[@infour44]

And yet even here posters wish to squabble. Be quiet, calm, still and just listen.

Citation from the text: "And may we love each other with a sincere heart". Wonderful music and wonderful VOCES8.

[@CaresinVerse]

I am lifted to a higher place when I hear VOCES8 and this is as wonderful as harmony and beautiful voices could ever be. What a gift to hear, especially in these trying times we are living in. Thank you VOCES8 for the gifts you bring to us all.

[@staffanolofsson8201]

And thank you Caresin for your gift to comment this wonderful music.

Thank you for your reply in French , my first language. I am descended from French Canadians. :Like you, I thoroughly enjoy this music. Please stay safe and take care. 🥰😀

I got to see this group live in Alexandria, Louisiana, USA. It was a life-changing experience. We were less than 15 feet from the stage for a 2 hour concert with a meet-and-greet afterwards and it really could not have been any better.

[@cpjds1]

Awesome! I am seeing them next week in Portland, OR with my widowed mother and we both can’t wait to experience them live.

[@donyvette3496]

Hope you have a delightful time! I am jealous:-)​@@cpjds1

Holy Mo! Lucky you. This is what life is about (among other things, but largely, this).

[@GeorgiannaMartin]

What a blessing ❤

[@peachykeen16]

Found you guys when I was in high school and have been hooked ever since. I'm now a professional singer. God bless you all

[@grahamfjlaws6108]

Three female and five male voices is I think the most satisfying make up of Voces8 to date, with Barney's incredible countertenor as the pivot. We make sure we see them each year in the UK. Their rendition of "London by night" with this lineup is not to be missed.

[@friedchipmunk]

Their performance of this piece has been my alarm clock song for many, many years. I highly recommend it be yours too if you want to wake up to a choir of angels!

[@LindeW]

Voces8 has one disadvantage: once you heard them perform a piece you won’t like any other version

[@donnaterkildsen830]

I feel like I am ascending to Heaven listening to this!

[@Springy49]

[@briancrowle6290]

Not for the first time, I'm lost in admiration listening to VOCES8. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you! ❤

[@portalrene2485]

spot on

[@renunair4316]

“Where charity and love are, there God is” ❤ This song and the harmony 🤌 It pierces down to my soul with a sweet painful yearning but also a filling sense of calm! Such a beautiful duality🥲

[@renunair4316]

English Translation: Where charity and love are, God is there. Love of Christ has gathered us into one. Let us rejoice in Him and be glad. Let us fear, and let us love the living God. And from a sincere heart let us love one. Where charity and love are, God is there. At the same time, therefore, are gathered into one: Lest we be divided in mind, let us beware. Let evil impulses stop, let controversy cease. And in the midst of us be Christ our God. Where charity and love are, God is there. At the same time we see that with the saints also, Thy face in glory, O Christ our God: The joy that is immense and good, Unto the World without end. Amen.

[@renunair4316]

Never more has this prayer been more relevant than TODAY🙏

[@earlhunt8164]

Voces8, you are by far my favorite choral ensemble for liturgical music. Thank you for the beauty and charism you bring to you work. I will continue to share these videos with others and hope for the day I may see you perform in person. God bless you all.

[@cetterus]

Beautiful phrasing, very tasteful cadenza and rhythm oscillations, sibilants, dynamic and timbar executed in immaculate balance and with ease- this is what people colloquially understand as "angelic" or "ethereal". Masterfully done, it was a pleasure to listen. This is art. Thank you.

[@LittleFiddlyBits]

One of my favorite sacred pieces, performed flawlessly as always. Exquisite.

[@cantilene7744]

L’une des plus belles pièces polyphoniques de tous les temps…. Et quelle magistrale interprétation !! Les voix si justes, l’émotion si sensible, la prise de son si exacte et la prise de vue, la lumière… tout est parfait ! Tout! Wahou!

[@mcgitarz]

Thank you all for this moment of bliss.

[@clauscanstein]

I‘ve sung this masterpiece of choral composition myself and know it very well. Hearing it in such perfection makes my day. Intonation, interpretation, musical expression in an extraordinary performance. Thanks, guys! And not to mention the sound engineer bringing it to life for us hearing it not live but online ;-)

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

Yes, more and more I’m feeling Voces 8 is one of THE great choral interpreters of our time. The blending!

[@ggillaspy]

I VERY much enjoyed it as well....though as an amateur.

[@schwanananana]

Finally!! I have sung this numerous times in different choirs, and conducted it in my own one and every time it got me goosebumbs. So nice to hear it from Voces8 too!!
