Ne Irascaris Domine (Byrd) Ely Cathedral Choir  

Such heavenly sounds! The Lady Chapel has perfect acoustics for the music of Tallis, Byrd, Gibbons, etc., and if this piece doesn't bring you to tears, then you are hard of heart.

This is Magical. Everyone should have this beauty in their collection.

Such a beautiful sound! ❤

Cathedral music is so heavenly

Christianity has given us many good things, and this is one of them. SDG

The spirit soars to heaven! describes this performance.

During my four years spent up at King's, we attended daily services in the Lady Chapel. A beautiful location for a stunning work.

Ely is just so out standing in all its performances, so spiritual in every aspect, Thank you Dean and Chapter/Directors and Assistants of Music,and Choir.

Wonderful blending of voices . Ely Cathedral Choir is outstanding and my favourite performing these beautiful Byrd hymns .

The Lady Chapel. Beautiful. Spent many Sundays mornings in there as a border at KSE

I'd like to cross-post this beautifully-sung motet on my Channel, which is not monetised. Should there be any objection, I shall remove it immediately upon request. Best wishes.

Simply outstanding in every way ! And one cannot go wrong with a William Byrd composition...

This is what Dante's Purgatorio feels like.

Byrd would have been writing with places like this in mind - sacred buildings of the Catholic patrimony robbed in the bloody Protestant revolution. You can hear the depth of his grief in his treatment of the words "Zion is deserted; Jerusalem is desolate". Beautifully sung, but I can't help imagining how Byrd would feel about Anglicans singing it in the space they have overrun.

Wondering who the six mentally disturbed people are who gave this a down vote? More to be pitied than scorned.

Sin and unholy bloodshed do not belong to only one people. 8 MARCH 1782: THE GNADENHÜTTEN MASSACRE IN EASTERN OHIO (Tecumseh, ora pro nobis, AMEN) Colonial frontier warfare was a cycle of atrocities. The most notorious of these came late in the Revolution. To avenge murdered relatives, 160 Pennsylvania militia seized Gnadenhütten, a Moravian mission village of unarmed members of the Lenape tribe. After a vote, next morning the militia took tomahawk and knife to 28 men, 29 women, and 39 children. Knowing their fate, the Lenape had spent the night in prayer, and went to their death with hymns. As late as 1810, Tecumseh reminded his American foes of the slaughter of the trusting "Jesus Indians." Gnadenhütten, by the way, means "God's Protecting Grace." (Below: an Ohio state marker, and the memorial, located amidst reproductions of the cabins in which the Lenape had lived.) ~~ HerrDausch
