I keep looping at 2:15 it’s giving me chills every time! Thank you for the experience, you’ve mad a fan of me you guys are amaizing! Hope to live it in real life someday :)
They're singing the names of famous composers (like Bach, Händel, Mozart etc). And there are also some other (mostly music-related) words used in the song. But I guess those are English.
There is not surprise than mising Offenbach or Schumann, but Verdi, Rossini or especially Brahms could been included :)) anyway, is not so easy to imitate a style of Johan Brahms. This music piece (could be named as a Madrigal in ancient terms) starts from JS Bach - anyway, JSB got a lot from so-called Italian Strict Polyphony - Palestrina, Baldassare, Gastoldi etc.
I wondered about Brahms. I was waiting for him and Ravel. Oh well, there are so many composers, I don't suppose they could have included them all. It would have been fun to hear something Stravinsky-like, too. I wasn't sure what was going on at the end. Perhaps you know?
@@wendyscott8425 i try to imagine how Stravinsky may sound singing a cappella😃 anyway Brahms as one of the most accomplished composers of Romanticism is not easy for Interpretation
@@kaulinissenis LOL! Me, too. Although there may be something in the Firebird they could sing instrumentally. The Rite of Spring? Not so much. :) I was a big Brahms fan in high school. Somehow it just spoke to my teenage angst. 😃
I found in RU-vid Kings Singers version of Nachwäche II - i a bit know these 5 Gesang für Mix Ch Op104 of Brahms and may say than the performance of Lepzig Radio Choir for me sounds better - more fits for style of Brahms and for style of Romanticism generally inc meaning of Lyrics of both Nachtwache. Anyway i did not seen yet a peformance of Francis Poulenc Timor et Tremor and Vinea mea Electa of Kings Singers - of course these pieces is not easy to perform and is not so easy to record - requires a special acoustoc conditions.
