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.

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

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.

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 ❤

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!

Voices8 dans toute sa splendeur, qui n'est jamais ostentatoire, aucun effet inutile, juste une pureté dont la (apparente!!!) simplicité touche au plus profond du coeur.

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🎶.

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

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

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!

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

Heute war ich in Stuttgart (Deutschland) im Konzert. Qualität fast besser als in den Aufnahmen, unglaubliche Präsenz und echte Freude in den Gesichtern und in dem überwältigenden Stimmklang! Welcher Nuancenreichtum! Und jedes Lied mündet in eine so dichte Stille. Musik kommt aus der Stille, das habe ich richtig gespürt. Und so sympathische Menschen! Danke!

Superklare Stimmen in fantastischer Abstimmung....

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

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.

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'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.

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

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

I want this at my funeral.

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

"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!

Amazing! Thank you!

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!

Das ist einfach unglaublich!

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

DANKE, so schön und kraftvoll

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

So beautiful

so sublime and I find them inspirational whatever my musical need is Thank you for giving me such therapy .

I remembered my father, who went home on 2022 June 6th... Edit 2024 May 5th: And the "KZfaq" gave me this music again now, 3h15 AM. Edit 2024 August 20th: And the "YT" has given me this music, a lot of times, around 3 AM.

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.

pure angelic!

as always, simply unbelievable

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

just beautiful. very peaceful and inspiring

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. 🤩

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

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

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!

Eerie resonances and harmonies! Superb musicians.

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.

Wonderful choir and melody!

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

Absolutely marvelous. Thank you so much

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

The last chord was pure magic !!!❤

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

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

Musicians like Voces8 are a god''s gift to mankind

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

So lovely. Thank you, VOCES8!

Ovo je nevjerojatno!!! Kakva izvedba! Ovo treba slušati svaki dan za meditaciju i inspiraciju. Sve pohvale izvođačima!!!

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

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

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

Beautiful singing techique, tone, dynamic changes and emotional investment... Loved listening to you! And I'm normally not so enthusiastic about a lot of singrrs, since I graduated wit a B.S. in music education, and for a short while , I was a semi-professional paid singer in NYC. Brava!

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

Super!!

My favorite accapella choir! 😊

Blown away! I'm speechless!

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

Soul comforting indeed

Exquisite.

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

Absolutely beautiful, so tenderly sung . Perfect. Thank you.❤

Perfection ! Impossible ! Totally stunning ! The tears are flowing......... Thank you so much.

I WANT THIS PLAYED AT MY FUNERAL!

This is like a light, out of the better world, where I want to stay, when my time has come.

Soooo beautiful 💗 Now I know what will be played at my funeral thankyou 🙏 😊 💫

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

Sopranos like a boy, B E A U T I F U L without words

Ich bin so froh, dass es Euch gibt! In diesen oft düsteren Tagen seid ihr die Hoffnung bringende Sonne am Horizont

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

I just love you guys and gals... heavenly. Thanks for the gifts you give us.

So beautiful-I used to hum this melody to my babies to help them sleep. Thanks for the memories Voces8❤️

Wonderful. pleased to see the boys have found a decent tailor at last

I had not heard this song before. What a simple yet lovely song. Well done VOCES8.

What a joy to listen to these angelic voices. So very soothing amongst the tragedies of today's universe

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

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!

Pure bliss 🌷⚘🌷❗

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.

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

Blessed be the saints and the music that uplifts their eternal memory in our hearts

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

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.

Stunning. Thank you.

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

Woah that was one of the most beautiful and incredibly moving pieces of music that I have listened to

Quelle merveille et quelle force dans ces circonstances! Merci infiniment une fois de plus. Si vous pouviez revenir au festival de Sacrée Musique à Saint Raphaël comme l'an dernier!

You have outdone yourselves again !

Heavenly. Thank you.

Going Home Dvorak sung by VOCES8 Superb!!! Proficiaat!!!

Yet again a Gold Standard example of how to preform these works!!! Amazing job by all the soloists as well! Perfect blend and connection to the rest of the group. When we would pull a choral piece to preform for Chamber the first question Always was whether Voces8 had done it and then we should listen to it to see how it should sound.

Seldom have I been so moved. It really touched me. Thank you. Truly.

Lucky enough to see them live at Weber Hall, College of St Scholastica, Duluth, MN. Simply breathtaking. Amazing what 8 voices can produce.

To think we're some of the first 1k people to hear this beautiful music ❤

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