Ysgol Glanaethwy: O Fortuna - Last Choir Standing Final - BBC

[@amymcoffey]

This choir is amazing. There was so much intensity! I am in the Indianapolis Children's choir, and our conductor, Mr. Josh Pedde, showed us this video during rehersal, and said he hoped that this was the kind of intensity he was looking for when our choir performs this song at our halloween concert on Oct. 28. I only hope that our choir can have even a quarter of the intensity that this choir has. They're AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!

[@ew12ful]

My skin tingles every time i listen to this..........wow!!!

[@JunkInTheFrunk]

Anyone that has ever sang this song can tell you how hard it truly is! Plus they have to move!! ( Its EXTREMELY hard on the sopranos!) They did a wonderful job!

[@klubs9017]

For some reason this song makes me tingly in my head and prickly feeling all over my body.

[@potatoloverx3]

Came back for the demon-summoning girl and the version of Ashley Tisdale at 0:33.

[@imon0102]

everytime i hear a choir performance.. i cant help myself but i think i'm gonna cry.. because they are affected with the song.. and that is what choir is all about.. not just the notes, but the feelings too.. i'm a choir member too.. xoxoxo!

[@robertcullen6]

Still brings me to tears over a decade later.

[@jadenu2003]

I can touch heaven with the fingers when I hear it. GREAT YSGOL...

[@v2trotman]

This is very good - the male voice that comes through when they spread out is very strong and I think really lends depth to this piece!

[@rdoggg19]

This is one of the best compositions ever written. This piece can and does invok sooooo many emotions when you hear it.

[@gotobedandtickler]

A great piece, performed to perfection, each and everyone of them.

[@BlackSheeped]

My school choir did this song for sh*ts and giggles one year and it was an absolute blast. I love the way they're enunciating so those of us who have sung it before can follow along even if it's been a while.

[@TaraJordan]

This is a really moving rendition of this gorgeous piece. I have looked at other clips, even ones showing professionals singing it, and it's not nearly so powerful. Just great. Thanks for posting this!!

[@alialtin2382]

I'm Turkish. I don't know how to speak English. I use Google Translate. I'm not a musician and I don't know much about music. But I agree with one of your comments. Ysgol Glanaethwy group sings and interprets that fortuna piece best.

[@taylorw]

Apart from the audience intrusion, this is the most electric version of this piece I've found in YT. Orchestration doesn't overwhelm and the pace is perfect. Vitality of youth, or something... go Ysgol Glanaethwy...

[@craigeast3682]

I know exactly what you mean! Shivers,spikey hair AND even tears for me. AMAZING!

[@expat1250090]

Absolutely fantastic! All three choirs demonstrated a high standard and all three were worthy winners! Hope to hear more from Ysgol Glanaethwy in the future! The choir is young and has bags of potential! Well done to everyone who made it through to the final. PS Both Ysgol Glanaethwy and OMA made Wales proud! We truly are still the land of song! Let's keep up this marvellous Welsh tradition!

[@lizzybeeliv]

fantastic and brilliant, i'm usually a negative critic of choirs (including the ones i was in back in high school...)but i am genuinely impressed!! i'm only dissapointed that no choirs like this exist where i'm from.

[@annielimyz]

ambitious choice of song. and they nailed it.

[@ssaryanelite]

it is what it is, and it was beautiful. such a powerful song

[@vitranisuber]

that was good... america needs a show like that.

[@LightLy27]

The guys who posted the stuff about the girls and what seconds, i cracked up when i went back to watch it, thanks for showing us that. the choir sounds amazing, i wish they would have won LCS

[@luckyissexy]

gives u chills wen u hear they sing tht!

[@ThePhillyspade]

those tenors are sublime

[@MrDerWalt]

I love Carmina Burana from Carl Orff, this Oh fortuna is perfect.. Bravo to this choir, i played this now 5 times and it is better than good. Sorry for my poor english Der Walt from Antwerp.

[@limerickmeghan]

amazing that they can have those voices !!!!

[@Alyda251]

I love this song, I love this performance, I can listen to this all day and feel like everything I am doing is epic

[@Manuscrypt]

Yes, I really understand you. In fact I mean that frustration and other kinds of human´s suffer are generating a large part of human´s existence. But in the other site a nice moment´s in human life are in this way much more valuable. Gold wouldn´t be so valuable if it would grow everywhere. And you are trying to bring themost valuable thing - a knowledge. Thanks for it.

[@lolboyboy1]

this is the new definition of EPIC!!

[@Whiskitify]

Love It! Nothing beats a Big Choir!

[@BARMYPANTS]

written by Carl Orff- called 'O Fortuna' from the opera 'Carmina Burana'. The song itself is about the fickleness of fate, which is possibly why it builds up from almost a whisper to the incredible ending

[@AneDijitak]

I just can't help it, but... SALSA COOKIES! WINDMILL COOKIES! THEY GAVE YOU GOOONOOOREAAAA!!! THIS OCTOPUS! LETS GIVE HIM BOOTS! SEND HIM TO NOOORTH KOOOREAAA!!!

[@Timmy4Realz]

[@TheJohnGardiner]

Carmina has been a favourite of mine for more years than I care to remember and can I say to all you people performing, this is an excellent rendition. I wish you many happy years of singing.

[@ilon99]

Love this song THE BEST .. Great job

[@foxychich]

that was absolutely brillant!!!!

[@SkullakaAce]

Best version online.

[@KeiyarlaDraga]

I can tell you this if this were to air in America I would watch, if I have cable, more than American Idle, or shows similar to that.

[@Music4Worship]

Just to note to everyone: This isn't the full song. I am not critizing the way they sang the song, but rather the lyrics that they left out. These are the lyrics they left out: "Sors immanis, et inanis, rota tu volubilis, status malus, vana salus, seper disolubilis, obumbrata, et velata, michi qoque niteris, nunc per ludum, dorsum nudum, fero tui sceleris". If you are going to sing a song, SING THE WHOLE SONG!!!

[@laykasilviamillan2634]

Amazing, i have no words to describe this¡¡

[@MrDabronx2010]

I love these musics

[@tobirox]

our schools singing this. its obviously a great song and also even if your not professional its quite easy to sing and still sounds quite good. we're getting accompanied by an orchestra!

[@SnakeZero6]

THIS IS FANTASTIC VIDEO!

[@MrAndrewHowes]

how can you sing that with a SMILE ON YOUR FACE?

[@YragTrebor]

I love this song

[@townerblake]

That was totally badass!

[@1One2Three5Eight13]

Schlock fan, yes, but I did know the song before. I LOVE it and realised it had been too long since I saw Carmina Burana. Odd to have robots singing a beer commercial, no?

[@fadiabas]

I love you euroo I love this song its a great song feza

[@bubbaXzone]

everytime I listen to this I get goosebumps!

[@Kieranooo123]

[@rld1203]

[@ricardito85745]

Beautiful!!!

[@Saria516]

This is insanely good

[@taylorw]

Don't watch this video, listen to the music and ignore the clapping. This is a powerful version.

[@muslimchand]

i like 0.56 when everybody start to clap, just makes it sooooo exciting

[@bertbaxter72]

[@HorseJouster]

Fabulous job!! It was amazing.

[@iyaayas200]

[@Severino_official]

[@novicechef101]

[@diaries94]

amazing, our music teacher makes us sing it is great

[@Manuscrypt]

Thanks for your kindly answer.

[@pol79z]

классно обалденно завораживает

[@TheDragonandy]

excalibur. also check out Prelude to Parsifa, Siegfried's Funeral March from The Ring (best ever classical tune)

[@Paraselene_Tao]

This song was an awesome choice.

[@xelioth]

lol, exactly the reason I'm here. and yes, this WOULD be scary as all hell!

[@hikasota]

Wow... i lost words...

[@Akhaenda87]

oooooh the goosebumps!!!!!!!

[@kenahardy]

way to amazing to not have won. i have watched everyone and this was a better group by far.

[@darkflower2]

I know! She was totally in character and scary as hell! In a good way!

[@PropWhisperer]

Translation of the bit shown here: O Fortune, like the moon of ever changing state, you are always waxing or waning; hateful life now is brutal, now pampers our feelings with its game; poverty, power, it melts them like ice. The chance of prosperity and of virtue is not now mine; whether willing or not, a man is always liable for Fortune's service. At this hour without delay touch the strings! Because through luck she lays low the brave, all join with me in lamentation!

[@link0lover]

such a cool song

[@lovelywrld]

Brilliant for such a young choir, seriously brilliant. They were my favorite to win on this piece alone.

[@ringoramjet]

in the spirit it was written great

[@rsweetbelle1]

Wow I am impressed!

[@Itskelendriab]

Best version of this song I’ve ever heard, still gives me chills. I’m surprised the judges weren’t impressed

[@bodyandsoul24]

wow goosebumps

[@Linelmao]

when people who are in choruses like this, they make their mouths open into an o shape, so it's hard to smile.

[@kladblokje]

shivers over my skin =)

[@darkflower2]

Thanks! :-)

[@hydropete1948]

Of course they didn't ! This was a choir competition in front of a live audience and a judging panel . They are just that good !

[@akmaftarzas]

OMG i got goosebumps and it's the twelve times i'm watching.. they're just so great!!!!

[@Sircell77]

The amazing thing is how all of these are kids, not trained adult singers.

[@PropWhisperer]

This song sent shivers down my spine they did it so good.......They should have won

[@legolasnumberthree]

i think that these should have won, because heir most talented, they have the better choir and they also sang in three languages throughout the competition, latin, english and welsh. they were great!!

[@robokick]

YUMMM play this song to wow
