Stabat Mater - Windborne - Mont-Saint-Michel 

The bell rang right after.....and from their reaction this was not planned, it felt Divine!

An amazing performance - it was meant to be.

BTW the news guards came during the song but didn't stop them because they found the song great.

The fact that they did this just "off the cuff" is incredible. That's what blessed talent looks like.

@@Verlicchi There is singing and then there is Singing. This was appropriate Singing, suitable for the location. From what I read the guard had tears in his eyes while listening

Wasn't that perfect? It kinda cracked us up :)

Wow, thank you so much for sharing that. We are honored that our music has touched so many people so deeply

Softness is not a weakness. It can exist alongside being grown, and being a man. I am glad you found joy in softness.

mmmm what a beautiful image. Than you!

Exactly how I feel!

Thanks for finding us here too!

Thank you! We definitely feel like a conduit for something bigger than us singing in such an incredible space like that

*Ancestors

Definitely meant ancestors I'm sure... that takes on a WHOLE different meaning otherwise

The mistake didn’t even bother me, I’d have no better way of saying it! They’re so special

Thank you so much! There is so much incredible Corsican music out there--as the other commenter noted, A Filetta is an amazing group to check out, as well as Tavagna (our Corsican music teacher Jean-Etienne Langianni sings with them).

Well, you can try Tenebrae Choir :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-H3v9unphfi0.html Or my favourite Slovak soprano accompanied by an oboe: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aQsVxuRR2EU.html Or Stabat Mater by two metal sopranos... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nhtOORYTGx8.html

I was BALLING 😭

It's the room and of course it's a polyphony so it's always beautiful!

Thank you for listening! 🎶💗

@@WindborneSingers I'm just wondering if you'd like this version :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nhtOORYTGx8.html Have you ever heard of them? :)

I thought i was the only one crying from its beauty..i feel ya

i cried too haha this is so beautiful❤❤❤❤

i feel you, it was overwhelming me.

I thought I was alone being so moved by this since hearing it a few weeks ago. It is still playing in my head . Stunning. ❤

In a lot of ways, it *is* the sound of another time--this is a traditional setting of the Stabat Mater text from the village of Nebbiu in southern Corsica. Corsican polyphonic singing dates back hundreds of years, and it definitely feels like being a conduit for something ancient to sing it. If you're interested, check out the Corsican groups Tavagna and A Filetta

Couldn’t have worded it better myself

We adore Corsican music! Thank you for listening!

The grieving Mother stood weeping beside the cross where her Son was hanging Through her weeping soul, compassionate and grieving, a sword passed. When my body dies, grant that to my soul is given the glory of paradise. Amen

Thank you

This song humbles me everytime I come across it. Thank you for this.

Thank you thank you for the lyrics and the translation. Thank you!

Brother. Do know that in the Christian world, Allah loves you, and wants you to be a part of his glory. Be blessed and welcome to join.

There is ONE Creator..... And you will ONLY get to him via CHRIST, the son of the ONE CREATOR.

@@AshleighFrith​​⁠​​⁠relax. be not afraid. allah is god. god is allah. i mean this quite literally. bear with me for a second. islam, judaism, and christianity formed from the same monotheistic root - this means that this person follows your god, but believes in different customs and background surrounding him. muslims believe in prophets, you believe in a son of god, and catholics believe in priests; but all of you believe in the same god. there's more. (you brought it up.) even if it _was_ a fundamentally different god, why do you cast judgment? the lord gave us all free will, the freedom to choose, the beauty of a complex mind, the divinity of a complex world. god knew you in the womb. does god lack the power to create a people unable to question him? was god's promise after the great flood meaningless? are we god's greatest failure? you invoked jesus. what did jesus preach? jesus of nazareth was a simple, unassuming man. he was an artisan, maybe a carpenter or a stonemason. he was very charismatic and very opinionated. people liked him and agreed with him. and he liked being liked. no one had to earn the wine and fish he shared. the sick, the poor, and the sinners did not have to earn his respect and friendship. the needy did not need to earn his protection from predatory lending practices. he preached inclusivity, advocacy, and justice. and most notably, jesus of nazareth was executed for treason. for radicalizing the people. for preaching the word of god. jesus died for his belief in the freedom of religion. is this person damned? does jesus damn this person? christians found meaning in jesus's death. they believe his death brought them salvation, that he died for our sins. if someone can be damned as a nonbeliever, what happened to jesus's sacrifice? what happened to the salvation? did mary, whose agony is described in the song in this video, have to watch her son perish for no reason? did he die for you in vain? let he who is without sin cast the first stone. what do you think jesus would think seeing you pass judgment? was this respectful of his teachings? was his unconditional acceptance a mistake in your eyes? are you more wise than jesus of nazareth? now, this is just a personal belief. the third commandment: thou shalt not take the lord's name in vain. the ninth commandment: thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. i don't believe saying stuff like "oh my god!" is using his name in vain. we call to god when we're frightened, angry, or excited. this demonstrates our fondness for his divinity. we like him. that's a reason, and so it's not in vain. i believe invoking his name to oppose his teachings is using his name in vain. i believe it is to bear false witness. i believe what you said here goes against the core tenets of the religion you preached in the first place, and i believe you owe this person an apology. i believe you can change, and you will be forgiven - if not by this person or by me, then by jesus, who was tortured for you AND for the person you spoke to. and most of all, i believe it would be cool to see some of jesus's woodwork. i wonder if he was good at it. happy pride!

Thank you so much. The voice and harmony singing can be so powerful!

I would have to say this absolutely., word for word!!!

We are always astounded by how powerful the human voice can be, especially raised in harmony with others. Thank you for listening!

I love your comment ❤

Wow, thank you for sharing that! We are honored to be part of that experience for you

Thank you for sharing that story💛 Our hearts go out to you for your loss

@@WindborneSingers Thank you.

people have been making music together since creation. it's one of the first things we did and it's one of the things all cultures have in common. we all sing together, wear hats, love our babies, and make bread. i believe music connects us on a primal level. the composer is invoked when they sing. the architect who built the temple to carry sound to the heavens is invoked when they sing. and i believe that your mom is invoked by your love of music. in that way, she's never fully gone, is she? i'm sorry for your loss.

Thank YOU for listening!

Same

Thank you so much. Please share far and wide!

One day we will look behind us. Watch french forgotten local culture... And cry.

C’est un moment de paix. Comment si vous pouvais parler à nôtre Dieux.

Us too!!

Try this from Corsica too ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-FU-wBJ4r3f0.html

@@capudiovu2a665 you also know Tavagna, no? We love their music as well, and studied Corsican singing with Jean-Etienne Langianni. His composition Missa per in Tempi Novi is one of our favorite pieces of sacred music (though we mostly sing secular paghjella)

@@WindborneSingersNow all you have to do is learn our language! I take this answer to advise you the books of dorothy carrington on Corsica. This would inspire even more your singing which is already very beautiful. Forza.

@@capudiovu2a665 thank you!

Yes!

Sounds like there are some polyphonic notes eg 1:46

That’s the angel’s notes. When polyphonic singing is ‘just right’ and the acoustics just right, you get notes that weren’t sung by human voice. It’s an amazing experience.

@@Cabingirlandrandomcrap absolutely agree

Us too! It was breathtaking to sing in that space...

Thank you so much, glad you found your way here for the full song

@@WindborneSingers Thank you for bringing such beautiful music to life, you're amazing please continue to make such beautiful music!!

Thank you!

YEEEEES it will be soooo good in a campaign 💗

@@timmyandchloepnw8122 hubby thought so too! He won’t give any spoilers though 🙃

@@emilycoomer7197 that’s awesome!

Nice, I love that

One day, we’ll be able to sing together in incredible spaces like this again!

THANK YOU! We feel the love

Words like “haunting” come to mind. As others have said, it’s like we’re in an ancient time and place here with you. Incredible.

Thank you so much. It's an honor for us to share this music

Superb

Thank you for listening 🎶
