World O World by Jacob Collier - MAS Vocal Ensemble

[@HarringtonTribal]

I keep zooming to see if this video matches the singers because it just sounds WAY to perfect. So glad to say that it's real and amazing. Great expressive dynamics, nearly perfect intonation and BRAVA to those sopranos and their high "Ds" at the end of the piece. Congratulations!!

Jacob speaks of his love of choral music, and how a lot of that came from old English church buildings. And here you are singing this in a beautiful church building, outworking this masterpiece in its natural setting 😊 Sang with such incredible beauty and control. Amazing 👏

[@mathiasbergmann5453]

This has to be one of the best recordings I've ever heard of this piece. Congrats to you all!!!

[@masvocal2765]

Thanks for listening❤

The guy in the grey shirt in the audience at 5:42 is the best part. Dude took his glasses off to listen better

He is crying, like me now 🥺

OMG!! What did I just hear! Speechless, Shocked & that was LIVE!!! Standing Ovation from here as well. Superb rendition!!!!

[@masvocal2765]

Thank you so much!! We will be sharing your comments with our students. 🤍

[@SueleMarieSarpong]

Wow! This is one of my favourite choral works. I’ve listed to it countless times with the Aeolians of Oakwood and the Jason Max Ferdinand Singers. But I must say your version is completely otherworldly and divine. Thank you so much, this is my new favourite version!

[@masvocal2765]

Thank you so much. Your comment means lots.

[@DanielBarberMusic]

Absolutely gorgeous. This has become one of my favorite choral pieces ever and you did it beautifully. And soo satisfying to see the immediate audience response. I'd have leapt to my feel as well!

[@jamessouthcombe4749]

Amazing! Great dynamic range - particularly at the end...

[@mrwilliy]

Hello, choir! I can’t get enough of your rendition-it’s truly stunning what you’ve chosen to do with your youth. The sensitivity, the impeccable technique, the harmony in every detail, the way the bass stands out (so rare among choirs), the powerful sopranos, and the fluidity in each singer’s movements… I’m completely enchanted, drawn in by all of you. You’ve gained a fan here in Brazil, and I sincerely hope more people discover your talent and that you achieve all the success you deserve (which is always the result of hard work and dedication). Huge compliments to the conductor-precise and inspiring, drawing out the very best in you live! PS: I'm a bass too. lololololol

This is so impressive and moving! How is it even possible to sing this? Congratulations from Belgium!! (and an awful lot of respect for every single choir member and the choir director! Loved the differences in dynamics as well!)

KZbin keeps giving me new performances of this to listen to and I keep clicking. The altos are coming through a bit louder on this recording - and the basses less, probably due to the distance in the room. But it sounds like a terrific performance. Just wish I could find 40-odd people to sing it with.

[@masvocal2765]

Glad you enjoyed it!!

[@bt719]

I'm sorry are these youth? They handle dynamics like they're on a volume slider---alllll together, and their blend is unreal. This is wonderful.

[@Trombo1979]

Wow, stunning performance 😮. Really great choir!!! Is that a Concert? Why are there so few listeners?

[@masvocal2765]

This was at the 2024 Florida American Choral Director’s Association conference a couple weeks back. Conference attendees choose between conference concerts and clinics to attend. Our full program is also on our KZbin page. Thank you for listening. ❤❤

[@luitmeinen1902]

Beautiful! After Jacob posted his score video I briefly considered suggesting this for my choir but I assumed it would be to hard. You guys nailed it though! Edit: just realized you are the group that performed with him, that makes sense haha

[@masvocal2765]

Your students can do it!! 💪🎶

[@luitmeinen1902]

@@masvocal2765 Thanks! I didn't mean *my* choir though, just the choir I am in 😅 I think we might try ❤ (human heart) first though, that seems like a better entry-Jacob Collier song, I'm assuming this one is for really high level choirs, right?

[@masvocal2765]

@@luitmeinen1902Human Heart is pretty great!! Cindy sang it on SNL with Jacob and Coldplay. It is easier

[@MartinErb]

MAS Vocal Ensemble, extraordinary for any choir and for a high school choir, incredible! Have to ask. Is this from the original or the 'simplified' score?

[@masvocal2765]

Original!! 🤪
