Amen! I always feel like pure tone without excessive vibrato feels more like worship rather than performance and self agrandization. Focus on the Giver, not the gift and certainly not self. All glory to God!!!
@laurascott605 vibrato is needed to soar over large orchestras and choruses in 19th operas it is sparingly employed in sacred music . If you eliminate it 100% it can make a woman sound like a boy chorister ..it is the larynxes way of avoiding strain . So a little is good
Thank you so much for uploading this. When I think I've already heard absolute perfection from Sissel, there is always something more ... unbelieveable.
Ave, ave verum Corpus Natum de Maria Virgine Vere passum, immolatum En cruce pro homine Cujus latus perforatum Fluxit aqua et sanguine Esto nobis praegustatum Mortis en examinar In mortis en examinar
Lyrics ============== Hail, true Body, born of the Virgin Mary, who having truly suffered, was sacrificed on the cross for mankind, whose pierced side flowed with water and blood: May it be for us a foretaste [of the Heavenly banquet] in the trial of death.
