J'ai découvert l' "Ave Verum Corpus " de Byrd par un beau soir de décembre 2004, dans la sublime interprétation des King's Singers. Je m'en souviens encore car je ne m'en suis jamais remis : Je considère cette partition comme rien de moins que le Mont Everest de la musique, tant l'harmonie en est parfaite et concorde de façon éblouissante avec le texte, laissant transparaitre la profondeur intense de la foi catholique de William Byrd. J'en ai entendu des dizaines d'"interprétations différentes, que j'ai toutes trouvées inférieures à celle des King's Singers. J'ai transmis l'amour de ce morceau à mon fils, qui l'a ainsi fait chanter lors de sa messe de mariage en août 2021, par un choeur constitué pour l'occasion, et cependant fait de chanteurs tous remarquables. Aujourd'hui, je découvre cette interprétation de l'ensemble ZENE et, pour la première fois, j'ai le sentiment qu'elle vaut celle des King's Singers, c'est pourquoi je me sens obligé de vous adresser mes plus vives félicitations. Quand nous ferez-vous le plaisir d'un "Sicut Cervus" de Palestrina ? Merci en tout cas pour votre sublime "Ave Verum"...

I greatly appreciate the basses' and tenors' contagious looks of intensity and profound joy the whole time they sing this piece! The power of those altos and the sweetness of the sopranos, as well! Props to all 9 of you, this is a truly heavenly and prayerful rendition of such a precious piece of sacred polyphony.

Exactly! This has caught my attention as well. It's as if, for a few minutes, they forgot the camera and sang as if there was only that piece of music in the universe. Beautiful. Also, kudos to the recording engineer for the perfect balance between voices and the exact dose of reverb.
@lapdawg602 жыл бұрын
I cry EVERY time I hear this piece, but I especially am pierced at 4:18 when the sopranos keep that note going before the "amen." It kills me every. single. time.

it's sad that you say dreaded. this kind of attitude has perpetuated a straight-tone, homogenized sterility in choral music today. there are very few choirs now that know how to effectively use vibrato. perfectly blended sounds get BORING after a while. somehow the anglican boychoir sound became the standard for all of choral music lately and it's to its detriment. choirs like BYU Voces 8 Chanticleer Kings Singers and this ensemble do ONLY straight tone. Choirs even sing music from the Orthodox and Russian traditions like anglican boychoirs despite its historical inaccuracy.

Quand la voix arrive à un tel niveau d'unité, de plasticité, d'harmonie par l'écoute mutuelle, j'oublie toute contingence terrestre. Peu d'oeuvre instrumentale me procure cette effet de transcendance du quotidien dans la perfection. Je ne connaissais pas cet ensemble, j'admire la fusion et la maitrise à laquelle ils sont parvenus...et le travail que cela doit représenter. Bravo et merci

This is the most beautiful and best performances of this masterpiece I have ever heard. And I have sung it in an excellent church choir, but we were not quite THAT good. This choir;s tone quality is stunning and incredibly lovely -- so pure and beautiful. And the tempi were perfect for this size of group and the space they were performing in, and the conductor held tge ends of the major sections for just the right amount of time, and had the perfect length of breaks between section. I wojld never have even heard of this group if Yourtube had not put this video as one of the suggested videos after I watched the Gesualdo Six perform Byrd's "Miserere mei". Thank you, Byrd Ensemnble!

Agree completely. I first started singing this in high school concert choir. Then, in our community choir which went to Europe in the late '70's (I'm old). This piece has always been one of my favorites from that, or frankly, ANY era. Truly God-inspired writing, IMO. This is about as perfect as it gets.

Miserere mei. Amen.[5] Hail, true Body, born of the Virgin Mary, having truly suffered, sacrificed on the cross for mankind, from whose pierced side water and blood flowed: Be for us a foretaste [of the Heavenly banquet] in the trial of death!

Lovely rendition. I had the privilage of performing this piece in choir, at that time, doing the tenor lines. Loved the production too. It cracked me up though, seeing the folks turn the music pages, as if they were "reading" them. That whole choir knows this beautiful song & their part deep into their cells. That was fine showmanship. What is real was their tuning into the nuances of the choir director (who is brilliant btw). The choir was tuned into him like a radar. Lovely to hear & watch. Bravo!
