Well done with the grid layout! This sort of video is where I like to send people who are new to Spem in alium -- being able to see how the voices come in and out really helps people appreciate (in a way that just listening or even following the massive written score doesn't) how impressive Tallis's achievement is.
Thanks! Seemed like such a simple and obvious way of presenting it, had no idea how cool and effective it would turn out. There's something very affecting about seeing the singers passing the lines one to the next - particularly in the humilitatem after the first respice.
I’ve just listened to this for the first time in two years, it’s brought tears to my eyes again both from the beauty of the piece but also the memory of the hardship those of us struggling with loneliness had to deal with. As an absolute amateur I’m so proud to have been part of this and can’t thank Harry enough for involving me. I found it very challenging at the time but, as a consequence, have embraced a whole new life of singing up here in the Lake District. Forever grateful!
I can't tell you how moving I find this, seeing everyone up close in their own homes, as just individuals caught up in something much bigger than themselves - and making something absolutely stupendous out of it. Thank you.
Incredible resonance of sound and purity of voices - one closes one’s eyes and one is immediately transported to Magdalen college chapel ... as we hope one day to reopen them and to be greeted with those sweet sights and sounds again
I've been in love with this piece since the first time I heard it in the late '70s. I wasn't prepared to like this particular performance because of the virtual aspect but this was excellent. What is really fantastic is being able to "see" each voice come in and have a visual of how intricate the writing is. This has to be a wonderful tool for anyone learning this piece. Very well done!
Outstanding even on computer speakers where any type of modulation is unavailable. I believe Thomas Tallis would not only be amazed, but in addition, I believe he would take pride in this version of his marvelous work. With the dumbing down of religious services today, perhaps this could be an entry for many who are disillusioned to the great vocal works of Monteverdi and Palestrina. As William Faulkner stated in accepting the Nobel Prize. "The past is never dead. It's not even past."
wonderful project! well executed. I would like to use a portion of this in my ongoing podcast video. please let me know if you object. glad to send a link.
I cried my soul out when listening to this video - not the most perfect rendition, in the whole world but I find it heartfelt and heartwrenching at the same time.
@@joydarling314 My favourite is the one by the King's Singers. I know, I know, it's not totally man-made but it's perfect under any respect - and the singing IS real.
This is stunning and sublime. Where can I learn more about this project? I think I want to write about it!!!!!! It's blown my mind. I was at Purcell's Tercentenary celebration at Westminster thanks to my first Producer who was one of the singers. This is insanely beautiful. Asa technologist I wrote it off before I even watched it. I am glad, SO SO glad I did. Thank you so much.
Мэри и Джосф говорят, что равиндра и раджу были женат на красных бдительных женщинах, так что библейский закон, когда равиндра и раджу наслаждаются красными бдительными женщинами, так что эти женщины - жены
