VOCES8: Die Himmel erzählen die Ehre Gottes by Heinrich Schütz

[@AnnetteKern-t8l]

Ein wunderbares Vocalensemble, selten hört man eine solche Homogenität und feine Empfindung für die Musik von Schütz!

[@aknopf8173]

Ich bin auch sehr beeindruckt von ihrer Aussprache! Man könnte meinen, sie seien Muttersprachler ♥

[@supawels3627]

Diese Lockerheit trotz größter Vortrags-Disziplin fasziniert mich als ehemaligen Chorsänger. Denn die komplexe Polyphonie eines Heinrich Schütz erfordert höchste Konzentration. Und zum Glück kein Applaus!

[@cantusfirmusbecker7825]

Toll! Respekt! Bravissimo! Da ist "Feuer drin!"

[@alexh4436]

Wow they are on a roll.. It's getting to the point when the answer to the question, "What is your favorite V8 video?" is "The most recent."

[@micheled2069]

MAGNIFIQUE !!!

[@supawels3627]

So ein Wohl-Klang !

[@150drei]

unglaublich! großartig!

[@heinricheberhardt9887]

Immer wieder beeindruckend die Homogenität des Chorklanges und die hervorragende Textverständlichkieit.

[@robertkoch5022]

Da kann ich Ihnen nur zustimmen.Leider hält man wegen einer gewissen Werktreue an einem Übersetzungsfehler fest "Ihre Schmur.....".Das schmälert etwas die Wirkung der Darbietung.Man sollte sich nicht immer sklavisch an die Vorlage halten, wie es auch zur Marotte geworden ist Händels Messias in Deutschland englisch zu singen. Das ist sicher nicht im Sinne Händels, der auf Verständlichkeit für alle setzte.

[@Singetommy]

Ist das schön. Großartig

[@THyperon]

Wunderschön, so eine kleine Besetzung macht das Werk sehr "lebendig".

[@billybcgn25]

This grumpy, old fart of a Baptist just LOVES to hear such beautiful music. Thank you, Voces8, for such pure artistry.

[@TonyGiannamore]

Shout out to Katie and Chris for the best "just chilling" vibes while they wait for the next section to sing

[@SilentStorm27]

Ha ha, I was thinking the same ! Poor Katie and Chris with barely anything to sing :p

[@cyrilduce]

A gentle rocking, turn page with the six, Amen, exeunt.

[@oscargill423]

I now feel vindicated for giving choral parts half the piece rests now, thanks Schütz

[@angrypotato_fz]

Hahaha, spot on :D

[@seankayll9017]

I half expected one of them to produce a triangle at the end.

[@doriswoelfl368]

Ja, Schütz so vorzutragen, ist fantastisch. Wunderbar.🌴🌻

[@davetubervid]

I love Schutz's music, and even more after listening to this wonderful performance by the stunning Voces8

[@nadinemueller78]

Was für eine Dynamik und Energie ❤. Vielen Dank Heinrich Schütz und Voces 8. Hoffentlich sehen wir uns bald wieder in Deutschland 😊

[@AnthonyOzimic]

Molly Noon is a great addition to Voces8. Her tone and stage presence is outstanding.

[@DrewMureiko]

Is she single?😊

[@nedhorner]

@@DrewMureiko LOL!!!!

[@anneubbe]

So so so schöne Musik und so wunderbar gesungen.

[@majathomi3021]

Das ist einfach unbeschreiblich wunderbar ❤️. Ganz herzlich danke ich Ihnen.

Splendid.

[@dominiekschrijvers1424]

Absolutely amazing, both the genius of Schütz and this wonderful performance by Voces8!

[@hartwigbeland1719]

flottes tempo...sehr schön!

[@antoniobamoravi2280]

MAGNIFIQUE, une musique qui repose l’âme, âme tant éprouvée par les vicissitudes de notre humble vie, et heureusement la vie continue comme une espérance d'un avenir radieux sans dogmatisme religieux. Amen !

[@herminelorang8068]

Wunderbar, wie stets. Ich habe Sie in Tholey/Germany gesehen und gehört, Sie singen ohne erkennbaren Akzent, das ist Perfektionismus pur. DANKE!!!

[@Talisman0011]

Bonjour , Vous ne pourriez pas évoluer les uns sans les autres , c'est magique , je ne puis vous exprimer combien je suis enchanté chaque fois que je vous écoute ......parfois en boucle pour ne pas être séparé de ces voix miraculeuses ....Bravo à vous toutes et tous , Merci du fond du coeur.....

[@piernicofe2214]

Der Himmel auf Erden, wunderschön... 🙂

[@tobiasm2843]

Amen...Thank you so much...

[@stephaniedickes1461]

Am 8.9. werde ich sie wiedersehen bei Frankfurt, zuletzt im Juni in Nürnberg ♥️. Can‘t wait!!!! Such a beautiful Performance 🥰

[@helgasabine7184]

So wunderschön und perfekt!!! 😍 Ein Genuss für die Ohren und die Seele. Vielen Dank!! 🙏🏻

[@hellaschuenemann]

Ich habe es vor fast 50 Jahren im Schulchor gesungen, sicher nicht so perfekt wie hier. Der Text und die Melodie sind mir immer noch präsent. Eine Freude, es so zu hören.

[@marliesfleck7155]

Zauberhaft ❣ Gott segne euch 💙

[@JDDexter62]

Voces8 truly is in a class like no other. What truly elegant diction, intonation, and interpretation. Simply stunningly beautiful.

[@classicfan4683]

Wieder eine überwältigende Interpretation! Der rhythmische Schwung überzeugt ebenso wie die strahlende Reinheit der Akkorde!

[@graemeroberts2935]

Every voice is constantly clear and distinct yet in perfect harmony.

[@sabineschett6277]

Vielen Dank so schön ❣️ danke

[@bebongchu_atemkeng]

Such musical perfection, performed by the best in the world. I am happy to be alive in this time, to witness such beauty of song. Thank you, VOCES8.

[@deborahd3810]

Lovely way to begin my day… thank you for sharing your beautiful gifts

[@CaresinVerse]

I always get goosebumps when I hear VOCES8. The arrangements and the harmonies are incredibly beautiful! This just left me spellbound. I love VOCES8 so much!

[@chrst7346]

But you are aware that in just thar case this the arrangement and harmonies have already been made up some 400 years ago? 😀 good example that time does not matter a lot, when it comes to quality! and nevertheless it needs persons who can bring those miracles to live again! Always strikes me when I experience those kind of moments of perfect intertemporal connection!

[@kingdavidapple]

Jetzt und immerdar...! You did it again. Thanks & thanks.

[@martinrock289]

Absolut brilliant! Vielen Dank für`s Teilen und die Lyrics. Psalm 19, Heinrich Schütz, gesungen von VOCES8 ... eine wunderschöne Kombination.

[@fareast_de]

Wow, that´s what I call a masterpiece ! Heinrich Schütz, hervorragend interpretiert. 👍👍👍Greets from GER, U.

Geniale Acapella-Gruppe.

Ausgezeichnet! Perfect balance in the voices, and nice sensitive interpretation. Vielen Dank!

Ganz große Klasse. Einmalige Präsentation dieses großartigen und schweren Stücks!

[@lynholl]

Amazingly beautiful!!!🤗🥰❣💓🌺🌹🍀

[@ernstreichold9502]

Macht weiter so mit bekannten und beliebten Stücken. Prima eure tollen Stimmen. 😊

[@Karlimoor]

Beautiful, masterful singing. As a German I'm really impressed by your pronounciation and punctuation. Most choirs I sang in would not have done as good.

[@genauder]

So beautiful, emotionally multifacetted. Almost can't believe it.

[@richardscrimger3969]

Love the way y'all really seem to be enjoying yourselves amid the technical perfection!

[@herbyneubacher8395]

Grossartige Stimmen.

[@carolyndwyer8325]

I could listen to this all day and night. It’s so beautiful it makes me teary.

[@Nazdreg1]

Schütz really is amazing and so is this ensemble singing it with joy and energy instead of being too serene and reverential.

[@gugutkaG]

Das ist fantastisch!!!

[@herbyneubacher8395]

Fantastic voices and presented with feeling for the Schuetz time and declamation. Bravo

[@stephanbuchner639]

Wieder ein phantastisch vorgetragenes Stück. Voces8 bleibt eine meiner Lieblingsvokalensembles!

[@THyperon]

Now I'm waiting for "Herzlich lieb hab ich dich, o Herr", also Schütz.

[@ulrichlautenschlager8852]

I can't describe the beauty of this music together with a worshipping heart. I am most grateful for the amazing beauty accessible through love for God and love for music. Thank you Voces8. Greetings and blessings from Germany

[@hgk9903]

Amen!

[@AndreasR64]

Wonderful rendition, showing how powerful "old" music can be. You keep such a perfect balance between all the voices. And your pronunciation of German is flawless. Thank you for almost four minute of pure joy.

[@cojun1974]

Wow - one of my absolute favourite choir songs - done so perfectly, thank you! I have sung this a couple of times myself, but never did I hear remotely so much "order in the chaos" as in your recoding, really impressing! And to be true, your pronunciation is much clearer than what we in my German choirs ever achieved. :-) Thanks so much for sharing this and take care!

[@lynda.grace.14]

Indeed. This composition runs the risk of getting muddier in sound the more voices in each part. The singularity of the multiple voices here is what creates the magic. Of course, technical perfection doesn't do any harm.

[@callahanstudio]

This beautiful, spirited performance reminds us why Heinrich Schutz is on the short list of great German composers

[@afarmery]

I trust you mean 'shortlist' rather than 'short list'?

[@callahanstudio]

@@afarmery LOL! Yes, the full list of greats is extensive.

[@mcgitarz]

I am so grateful to see and hear these videos. Thank you! Ausgezeichnet !!

[@achenarmyst2156]

Simply gorgeous. 🙏

[@mooretuba]

Wow. What a watershed two weeks for Schütz! First this wonderful performance of SWV 386 followed on KZbin 9/1 with Calmus Ensemble’s awesome 5 part SWV 377! Both performances take the Master’s Chormusik to a new level. It’s about time more people are appreciating what a seminal composer Heinrich truly was. There was indeed music before Bach…

[@lucdeslauriers1021]

Hi from Québec, Canada! Mais quel ensemble brillant: digne du chœur des anges!

[@Northcountry1926]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@AnnaG121]

Stunningly beautiful.

[@neogoassara3482]

This is art: the composition and the persormance of this wonderful ensemble.

[@jedrzejandos2063]

wielkie podziękowania, to jest wspaniała uczta dla oczu i uszu, a zarazem jakże miła zabawa

[@EvelynCor]

Bravo and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE always keep (and add) a little bit of SCHÜTZ in your repertoire 🤩 It is well appreciated by numerous Schütz nerds 🤭👍

[@Diana-be4mj]

Seguramente, Los Ángeles del Cielo cantaron junto a ustedes 🙏🏻♥️Glory to God

[@BachForeveryone]

Now I know, how our choirmaster wanted to have it!

[@andrewmildinhall8210]

This is stunningly good. A performance like this really shows what a towering figure Schultz was. The greatest composer of his age

[@mooretuba]

And it’s largely because of über-excellent groups such as Voces8 and Calmus that Schütz is quickly becoming more “mainstream” to the classical music world! It’s high time he is taking his rightful place in the pantheon of the greatest German composers. Brahms would be the first to agree BTW…

[@jalapablocrypto]

Agree. Schutz was the greatest!

[@helmstan6538]

Excellent pronunciation, wow!

[@johnlucania9306]

I have not listened to you in a while, but I still like you!

[@fjo8674]

I guess this will be part of a songlist in heaven 🎶 ♥

[@carlosazambujayt]

Technically perfect, magnificent and very moving, as always.

[@cecielvanderzee2045]

If anything makes me happy, it is this!

[@michaelskelton8516]

A wonderful all round performance, musically, presentation, smiling faces and the setting.

[@nickgodwin3412]

Unfailing spirit and exhuberance! As ever a joy to listen to.

[@helgelk]

Sang this song back in the day when I was a soprano in a boys' choir. The score was a copy of a copy, and the text was in fraktur. I managed to decipher most of it, except the word "Hitz", so thank you for clearing up that 35-year-old mystery!

[@magnifyoparah2402]

Wow! What a memory ❤️

[@ingoknito4437]

Hej, Helge! Nice to read about your memories. I also sang the motet as a boy (like all the others from "Geistliche Chormusik 1648"). Many texts were incomprehensible to me as a German-speaking child, because not only the language images changed, but also the use of some words. "...und bleibt nichts vor ihrer Hitz' verborgen" means: "And nothing remains hidden from her heat" when speaking of the sun, which rises, orbits and sets at one end of the sky day by day. It is no coincidence that the music in this part (2:14) sounds for only a few moment like a clockwork, with the voices running at different speeds to indicate: The Lord reliably makes sure that the sun rises every day. Everyone feels their warmth. Brilliantly composed. (Imbued with a belief in something good. In a miserable time, during the Thirty Years' War and the plague, which also afflicted Dresden at the time.)

[@NeulichimKanal]

The human voice is an instrument God gave us as a gift. It ist obvious here. We should appreciate it.

[@kolias33]

I don't have enough ink in my inkwell, nor rhetorical capacity to describe my gratitude and feeling towards your singing.......! So, thanks, thanks, a million thanks!

[@nedhorner]

Breathtaking!!!!!!

[@agathavandoesburg7297]

What a heavenly sound. Absolutely spellbound through this beautiful piece. Thank you Voces 8 😊😇😇😇
