Im very happy with this reaction. But you havent seen the best of MADZ Circle of Life kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6eofGSPp96ffMk Watch their performance in 19th European Grand Prix kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5mQpIN8r56qeMk Their choir director is the first guy on the left

[@kevinanderson8558]

Can you also react to their impromptu/flash mob type performance of Izar Ederrak in the Abbey of Mont Saint Michel?You' ll get a glimpse of who the sopranos, altos,basses and tenors are. Here's the link: Izar Ederrak (The Beautiful Star)-- Philippine Madrigal Singers kzbin.info/www/bejne/bGS2p5yYrM2IhLc

[@AdlenDelMundo]

they set their formation like that so they make a surround sound effect. in every concert they are in a concave formation and singers are mixed so the sound would always stay in the center..watch their impromptu videos to see how they deliberately arrange their formations this link includes their history kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYHQaHiMqLhjrMk

Please react Billy Crawford track mv and brightlight Billy is one of the international performer way back and back up dancer of Michael Jackson. You see how he perform way back in Germany France and etc.

[@terminusadquem6981]

I've seen recent uploads of other Filipino choir winning in international choir competition. I hope you can react to those as well. I find that there was more dynamic in those than this performance. 😊

[@paddylodi1724]

The Philippine Madrigal Singers also called Madz started in the University of the Philippines (UPMS) and is the first ever choir to win the European Grand Prix for Choral Singing twice (1997,2007). They’ve been invited all over the world and they do concert tours almost every year (like this performance when they were requested to sing at that church but not the actual concert) and also perform as resident artist in the Cultural Center of the Philippines. I had the privilege to get to know them in a more personal level. They have a lot of good quality KZbin videos if you want to explore more of their angelic voices. They are arranged in SATB format and singing in a semi-circle. One of the members (perfect pitch) in the middle gives the pitch and with this arrangement, they can feel each others breathing, thus, they sing without a conductor. They are currently under the directorship of Mark Anthony Carpio who sits/stands at the right end of the circle. For them, the audience is the other half of the circle. If you guys want to listen to more of their songs, I suggest this song (they sing in multiple languages)- We Beheld Once Again The Stars “Rivedere le Stelle (Dante’s Inferno)- sung in Italian which is one of the 5 songs that they performed in the 2007 European Grand Prix. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/m6G3Y5eZZ99jpMU

[@paddylodi1724]

Standing in S-A-T-B gives a fuller sound because the audience hear them in all sides and angles. Also, note that the 4 at the middle T-S-B-A is the core group. If you are part of the group, it takes time, training and talent to reach the middle and be part of the core.

[@emmafajardo5735]

.

[@s.t.santos5928]

MADZ's rendition of Rivedere Le Stelle is the standard against which all other choirs should be measured. I thought it was out of this world.

[@booboy0421]

Just to correct, they are singing with a conductor. Mark Carpio is the conductor. However, it is the signature of MADZ where the conductor does not conduct like how we usually perceive a choir conductor. If you watch closely, Mark is moving. It is through his movements and eye contact where the cue is coming from.

[@gabrielefontanilla]

That is what ethereal is. I first heard them sing that song when I was in college. And it has made an impression on me. Truly magical

[@manoletteyanes6127]

their trademark is sitting down in a semi-circle with the conductor seated at the left end of the circle. The unusual formation was patterned from banquet style in the renaissance period where hosts and guests would gather around for merriment and sing-songs in a semi-circle formation before the the meal was served. Also, the alternating male female position is to achieve a surround sound and its Soprano, Tenor, Alto, Bass alternating to achieve a balanced surround sound and all members are top-rated soloists.

[@manoletteyanes6127]

and the group is known in the choral community as the MOST BEAUTIFUL SOUND ON EARTH. Also, the group is not limited to just the classical genre but a very diverse repertoire

That is their thing, Wale. Their conductor doesn't conduct in front of them during performances. So sick! I had the chance to train with them for a week. It is mind blowing! 😍🤯

[@GlossyJoyMiralles]

WOW! you're so lucky!

[@akosiamaya1954]

OMG! The MADZ!! World Famous. They won every single Grand Prix at prestigious chorale competitions all over the world. As a choir member myself years ago we look up to them in terms of discipline, perfection, performance. They sing in SATB format, semi-circle form with the person in the middle providing the pitch. One of my fav is their cover of 'The Coconut Nut'. It's hilarious but delivered perfectly the MADZ (short for Madrigals, UP Madrigals) way! Thank you for this reaction. It brings so much memories. 💙

[@baltazarmelchor451]

yong version ng Boscorale ng Don Bosco ng Coconut song ang pinaka best sa akin

[@OXDR2225]

They're the Choir of The University of the Philippines. They have won a number of International competitions. Their selection process is intensive as well, their training very disciplined and concise, their delivery... well, you said it..ethereal. How I know this? My cousin was a member from 1986-1989

[@baltazarmelchor451]

Noong una lang yon na UP pero ngayon ay marami nang naging member and current member ng Madrigal na hindi Alumni or student ng U.P. kaya na drop na yong UP sa pangalan ng Choir.

[@abenapoleon3473]

Eres tú was a hit 1973 pop song from the Basque group Mocedades who represented Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest, where they took 2nd place. It got airplay in the US market. The Philippine Madrigal Singers/MADZ are a world class choral group that competes and consistantly wins in international choral competitions. This particular performance is so moving it brings goosebumps and tears to the eyes with its pure vocal simplicity and beauty.

[@baltazarmelchor451]

Philippine Madrigal won the EGP(European Grand Prix) Choir Contest twice. Only Choirs who won in a EGP recognized International Choir Competition are qualified to join EGP, hence EGP is like the World Choir Olympic.

[@marohestella1224]

Our pride and joy when it comes to choral singing, they are the epitome of a group singers, to be a member is really hard auditions you have to go thru🇵🇭🇵🇭❤️❤️

[@xing_xoxo6205]

Wow this is so random but thank you for diving into the angelic chorales in the Philippines. Madrigals are like the creme of the creme in chorale, who started their journey from UP. The university also has great chorale like UP singing ambassadors and concert chorus to name a few, who like Madz have been bringing in awards and gaining international recognition. Hope you can check out Rhina Palma in her solo projects. She is a member of Madrigal, now a vocal coach too. Or, checkout The Nightingale composed of Rhina Palma and Bianca Lopez. Again, thank you for this.

[@angienatoyn]

The first choir in the world to win the European Grand Prix for Choral Singing twice. A national treasure. The fact that you reacted to them ... wow!

[@Spy359]

The director is joined with the group. The UP Madrigal Singers have chosen to form a U - shaped formation in all its performances. They've realized that it displays the best sound quality projection, when all sections combine. The ultimate result is clear, crisp, and powerfully angelic.

[@Yashi-yd4tm]

You have to watch Philippine chorals, theres a lot in YT, and lots of grand champions that Phils. Chorals had won. The Phil Madrigal singers are the long time winners of the country for many generations already. Phils always landed the top winner or grand champions in lots of global competitions. I am actually waiting for this moment that you guys Waleska and Efra able to hear the Philippines Chorals and Children choirs. More power on your channel. God bless.❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[@misschelle23]

I watched them live once when they performed on our province and that was an epic moment. It's like I wanted to cry after their concert. It's an experience I won't ever forget. Wale is right. It feels Ethereal. 😍❤️

[@kapeatbp]

I could listen to them all day. They are just amazing.

[@cathernando5327]

I will never forget the chills felt in my entire body when they sang the first chord the first time I saw them live in concert. I’ve had the privilege of seeing them directed by their founder and their current director. They truly are choral music royalty.

[@CassieKei]

I was a choir member before and Madz really is our idol. Even the podium (positioning of SATB), we got it from them. Usually, if you are an alto, you will be with them but in this, you'll be placed depending on your ranking during quartet exam. The middle quartet is usually the foundation and so on for the other quartet. I missed singing and listening to Madz. Nice reaction btw, one of my fav reactors here on yt.

[@romeohernandez2227]

Heavenly sound! I like what Efra preachin' "so much power in unity" By the way, their director is also a singer and he directs the choir through eye contact. React also to song THE COCONUT NUT by Madrigal singers, its fun and fantastic!

I like how you guys break down everything, give very insightful comments and have witty conversations. You're very entertaining to watch. And your also very respectful of each others opinion. It's good to see siblings who get along so well. And I also learned a lot from you. Your love and appreciation for music is very contagious. P.S.

They started as a university choir from my alma mater University of the Philippines and were known then as the UP Madrigal Singers. They've won multiple international competitions. They always compete sitting down in a semi circle. The Philippines is a known powerhouse in the choir world. Philippine songs arranged for the choir are also popular in the community.

The Philippine Madrigal Singers are the premier chorus of the Philippines. Multi awarded and world-wide acclaimed. Please react also to their performance in Indonesia, where they learned "Laskar Pelangi" in 2 days just to perform for the local audience. Thank you, love you both.

This is a prime example of the magic, majesty, grace, gratitude, and warmth one can feel listening or experiencing a good choir or an acapella group singing especially in a church where the atmosphere lends itself to opening your heart as well as excellent acoustics. It just bathes you in wondrous sounds and makes your heart feel warm and your soul full. Pls do react to more choirs and pls also check out an acapella group called Voctave. They have many videos here on KZbin from Disney medleys, to classic and jazz standards, to Christmas songs and even a soundtrack medley (recommend this one).

[@williamdelposo6376]

This is one of the very few performances that the Madrigals (or Madz) are singing standing up. They usually are sitting in a semicircle. The conductor and musical director - Mark Anthony Carpio - is singing with them, positioned at the left-most. The way they are arranged is not the usual for choirs where sopranos are grouped together and so forth. Every 4 members you see standing (or sitting) close to each other function as a complete unit composed of a soprano, a base, an alto (or counter tenor), and a tenor.

[@dinbee4611]

Oh wow surprised you reacted to this chorale group. They are one of my favorites and considered one of the best in the world.

The Philippine Madrigal Singers is the Philippines' premiere chorale group. They tour worldwide and usually perform live without mic and only rely on the room's acoustics. Watching them live is truly a unique spiritual experience. < Recognized by the UNESCO as Artists for Peace for “putting their fame and influence to promote cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue and a culture of peace,” the Philippine Madrigal Singers is one of the most awarded choral groups in the world, having consistently won all top prizes in major choral competitions, including the Grand Prix in the recently concluded 64th Concurso Internazionale di Guido d’ Arezzo last August 2016 in Arezzo, Italy.
