I agree. This is rhythmically insanely tight. Listening to the do their ding's in the beginning is amazing because it sounds so structured, despite how fast they are singing. The SMMC version is good, to be fair, but this one is astounding.
There is a reason why the group is called the Philippine madrigal singers. It is because the group is singing in the "madrigal" style, a style of singing that originated during the renaissance period. The Madrigal, a polyphonic and challenging musical style popular during the Renaissance period where singers and guests would gather around the table during a banquet to sight-sing and make music together. This served as the inspiration for their unique style of singing - singing seated in a semicircle without a conductor. The group is specially trained on singing without a conductor and they have to rely on sound vibrations. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madrigal
Sana mga ganitong tunog o kanta ginamit nila sa EGP 2017 sagayan, pamugun, gapas, kuyo nu tebulul sarap kaya pakinggan tunog ng salita natin. Love you MADZ!
i really love the smmc version but because the song is about a hunter's chase for a bird, the faster paced version although it's not as aesthetically pleasing to the ears seems to give more of the hunting vibe
Are they humans? My goodness! This is incredible, needless to say, their interpretation surpasses my idea of this song. Considering the intonation, modulation, precision, pronunciation, and execution of each phrasing, it's almost perfect!
