VOCES8: Goin' Home by Antonin Dvorak 

Is this even real? It seems too celestial for the current state of earth. Thank you, VOCES8. ♥

This is without doubt the most beautiful performance of Goin’ Home I’ve ever heard. Dvorak would be so proud of you all. Thank you!

My dad's favourite. He said it reminded him of all his soldier mates who were killed in ww2. They were going home. Miss you, dad ❤

My dad sang this at his grandmother’s funeral. I know I’ll sing it at his one day. And I hope someone will sing me home at my own.

In a world filled with darkness and cruelty there are these eight beautiful voices bringing joy to the world. Dvorak and I loved it.

I just heard Voces8 last night in concert near DC (11/5/23). I was afraid that in person they might not sound as good as they do in recorded sessions. But, I am happy to say that they are more impressive in live performance. Even though they must have been tired after their USA tour, as this was their last stop, they stayed around afterwards and were (seemingly) happy to sign autographs and chat a bit. What a talented and delightful group.

Transcendent rendition of this classic. Bravissimo! Being a good ways into my eighth decade, I'm finding that it's easier to 'go home' for a while, by just resting as awareness.. Thank you Dearhearts of Voces8!

Sometimes it seems surreal that such a choir as VOCES8 could be. I am always mesmerized by their voices, both in solos and in harmony. And this piece was simply breathtaking. Bravo, as always, VOCES8🎶.

The uniqueness of each human voice gets me! Mollie then Andrea each different, each perfect. A precious gift for these days.

Dad passed away last week. He's gone home to my mother, his darling Annie! 💜

Amidst all the gloom that surrounds us we find there is hope and joy. The glory of the human voice comes through and refreshes our souls

I am at a COMPLETE loss of words. I am sitting here in TEARS. FANTASTIC performance!

Super!!

I've always loved this music from Dvorak's New World Symphony...who doesn't ? But this is the first time I've ever heard it vocalised as a choral piece. Simply amazing as always, VOCES8.

Our parish recently lost a 101 year old lady who ran every event for decades. I’ve been going to this parish for only 2 months and I’ve only spoken to her once. But her passing has affected me so much. Thank you for assuring me that she’s gone home and that she’s close by.

"Going Home" has burrowed itself into my heart since hearing it in the movie "Paradise Road ", starring Glen Close. My husband and I play it each night before closing our eyes for sleep. And then, I discovered VOCES 8... which we also play each night ...imagine my joy just now, hearing my very favorite group singing..."Going Home!" Thank you, VOCES 8!

Floating harmonies, angelic voices, lots of emphasis - that's the unrivalled ensemble Voces8! I love it!❤

Sang this in a choir once , the emotions all came back while listening. Thank you!

I remembered my father, who went home on 2022 June 6th... Edit 2024 May 5th: And the "RU-vid" gave me this music again now, 3h15 AM.

I first learned this song as part of a handbell choir when I was in middle school. I've always loved it since then. This acapella arrangement is lovely and the performance - spectacular as is usual for you!

Ich kannte diesen Satz bisher nur aus der 9. Sinfonie von Dvorak. So etwas Phantastisches habe ich noch nie in einer A-Capella Version gehört. Thank you for your solo Molly, and thank you Voces8 ! 🥰

I agree wholeheartedly with the many beautiful comments and find this group a sacred practice in my day. Thank you!

as always, simply unbelievable

They definitely do seem to float above the surface of the earth, defying gravity with their incredibly beautiful music. A joy to listen to.

Still haven't listened to the whole thing, keep repeating the beautiful "oh-oh-oh" the bari passes to the tenor 🙈, then that crisp bright chord. Can't wait for the rest. Excellent arrangements as always. 🤩

New World Symphony is my absolute favorite composition ever created. Who better to sing it - each one of your voices are examples of heavenly perfection.

Děkuji za nádherné provedení skladby od jednoho z našich nejlepších hudebních skladatelů Antonína Dvořáka! Pozdrav z České republiky!

From Dvoraks 9:th Symphonie. So simple and beautiful arrangment, sung by eight angels!

AH, the harmonies from 1:40 to 1:50 are so heavenly. Tears and chills. Thank you, Voces 8!

О, как это прекрасно! Эти голоса сливаются в одну волну чистого прохладного воздуха!

I've just arrived at my 8th decade and only recently come across Voices 8 . I thought Their Elgar edition of Nimrod could not be matched in excellence but I accept their Going home up holds their brilliance ! Thank you ,one of these is going to be heard at my passing.

Piped this tune at my gran's funeral. It's such a simple tune, but always a joy to play.

So beautiful

pure angelic!

I want this at my funeral.

The bass singer at the end is amazing!! Actually all incredible singers!!

Stunning in its simple perfection…as always with this fantabulous group.

Having been lucky to make the experience myself, singing in several ensembles of different sizes, I can say, that what you can really feel when hearing such a brilliant octet is that „neural cloud“ in which they are (and have to be!) when performing! It’s a truly deep reaching, intimate experience, that makes clear, why music - and especially singing - has the power to heal!! With hugely respect and heartfelted regards from Wiesbaden/🇩🇪 Martin

Soul comforting indeed

There aro no words that can adequately describe just how beautiful and restful this is......

Oh My. Such beautiful lyrics performed by VOCES8 to touch the soul. Thank you.

Lovely to hear Mollys voice solo. Gorgeous. And very different than her soprano mate!

Truly outstanding, there are a handful of compositions that are not of this planet!!!! 😌😌😌😌😌😌

Exquisite.

The last chord was pure magic !!!❤

Dvorak was quite prescient; BRING THEM HOME!😢😢😢😢

A touchjng arrangement and performance that would be suitable for a future memorial concert honoring the great Maestra Patricia Burda Janeckova.

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your gifts. The University of North Texas students and staff loved hosting you all last Thursday!

Fabulous harmonies. It also looks like they enjoy themselves. Nice looking German town too.

I think Life is wonderful ćause we can hear this beautiful Music. Itś heartbreaking.

Wundervoll, diese neue Aufnahme! Vor ca. 4 Wochen habe ich diese acht Juwelen des Chorgesangs für mich entdeckt und kann es kaum verstehen, dass dieser außergewöhnliche Musikgenuss so lange an mir vorbeigehen konnte. Verzaubert von der Reinheit Ihrer Stimmen und der kraftvollen Fülle des Klanges bedauere ich es so sehr, bisher für keines Ihrer Konzerte in Deutschland oder in den für mich zugänglichen Nachbarländern Karten bekommen zu können. Verzaubern Sie uns bitte weiter!

Stunning. Thank you.

The recording and presentation of this classic by VOCES8 is awe inspiring and gives this humble yet powerful song the exposure it truly deserves. Bravo VOCES8 for your undertaking. A masterpiece for all who listen and appreciate the power and subtleties of this song/hymn. . Lyrics by William Arms Fisher, a student of Anton Dvorak. The melody is the Largo portion of Dvorak's New World Symphony #9, and has been used frequently at funerals and other solemn events. Goin' Home (1922) Goin' home, goin' home, I'm a goin' home; Quiet-like, some still day, I'm jes' goin' home. It's not far, jes' close by, Through an open door; Work all done, care laid by, Goin' to fear no more. Mother's there 'spectin' me, Father's waitin' too; Lots o' folk gather'd there, All the friends I knew, All the friends I knew. Home, I'm goin' home! Nothin lost, all's gain, No more fret nor pain, No more stumblin' on the way, No more longin' for the day, Goin' to roam no more! Mornin' star lights the way, Res'less dream all done; Shadows gone, break o' day, Real life jes' begun. There's no break, there's no end, Jes' a livin' on; Wide awake, with a smile Goin' on and on. Goin' home, goin' home, I'm jes' goin' home, goin' home, goin' home, goin' home!

Just listened to VOCES8 Fauré Requiem & then this came up as a selection. Two wonderful performances. Thank you.

Largo from New world Symphony, last Dvorak symphony, even though written and firstly done in USA, performs the composer' s love to our beautiful country. I think that his first thoughts sounded heavenly like this.

Wow! Thank you.

Heavenly. Thank you.

So lovely. Thank you, VOCES8!

Absolutely marvelous. Thank you so much

So beautiful! ❤

YES I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH

Amazing! Thank you!

Blown away! I'm speechless!

Eerie resonances and harmonies! Superb musicians.

I had tears streaming down my face by the end of this piece. MAGNIFICENT!

Wonderful as always. Thx

Absolutely wonderful🙏thank you

This is beautiful.

There are no words to describe this group. Heard them live in Naples FL last year. Never have I heard such vocal perfection.

Saw them in concert -- their music is very celestial. They sing many types of music and they are good at all of them!

I WANT THIS PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL!

Absolutely lovely.

Pure bliss 🌷⚘🌷❗

You have outdone yourselves again !

Divine beauty! Almost unreal... Bravo Voces 8!!!

Thank you 🙏

That has to be one of the saddest, yet greatest sounds of all. Thank you.

Thank you so much to Voces 8 for this beautiful rendition of this song. Goin' Home has such special meaning for me because it was the song my aunt chose to be sung at her funeral before she passed. It has been several years but she is still missed, and hopefully she is home now.

Maravilloso ❤... Gracias VOCES8

Wonderful choir and melody!

DANKE, so schön und kraftvoll

Superb voice blend. My eyes tear. Thank you.
