This incredible music can communicate the Word of GOD better than any Sermon can. After listening to this many times consecutively i want to sit silently think about how to be a better human being. OR ,to lighten the mood a bit, as someone else said ,"if this ain't played at my funeral I'm not going !"

I know you're in heaven know, Kuya Gino. Thank you for leaving us a lovely and memorable arrangement of this beautiful song.

“The great mystery” is the translated Latin, I believe. This song is potently meaningful to me, because the man (my choir director) who introduced it to me lost his wife to cancer when she was only in her 40s.. and he was such a good teacher, that I’ve kept in touch for almost 20 yrs. The song is about the great mystery of the afterlife.. and I sent him this song after his wife died to hopefully give him comfort, as I was going through very hard times when he introduced the song to me and it’s still the most gorgeous piece of music ever written imo.

Hello po, pwede po makahingi ng instrumental po?🥺

Frickin incredible. You guys are the best in the world

Huhu I'm crying! How can I get the score?

This must be what the Heavenly Choir sounds like❤

I love this song so much. Makes me cry every single time. Amazing rendition also by the Philippine Madrigal Singers. 🤍

One of the jury even said the most beautiful sound on earth

In Memoriam Fernando Cortés Domènech (1949-2023) Rest In Peace.

This execution is really unique in its colour, dynamics and spiritual devotion to the performance. The choir is fascinatingly ballanced, and there is no more convincing rendition of this particular composition so far in my opinion. If M. Lauridsen had written only this one choir piece, it would be enough for the entire human world. Such choice of musical means to create such an outstanding musical product comes only when the inspiration of its author meets the moment of his higher intuitive insight in the truth telling us who we are and what our limits might be...

Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam

I am dedicating this hymn to Byron McGilvray and Bob Fox, two of the finest singers I have sung for and with, both Robert Shaw alumni. We celebrated Bob’s life this past weekend at Christ Church, Winnetka, IL, where Bob was bass section leader of our wonderful choir. We will be in Boston singing at Trinity Church a week from this coming Saturday. John Robertson

I am heartbroken to hear that you are experencing this glory in a time of such horrific loss. But then,,,I know what this music is to me, and I rejoice that you have allowed your heart to honor the love between a parent and child. Bless you.

Hands up to every Madrigal who ever loved singing this ❤

Hello Sir, Do you have an SATB arrangement on this? Because its really Beautiful <3

What a clarity and beauty!

I can feel some sadness when listening to this. Like when you los someone who was very important to you, you two were so close and had a strong bond (sibling, partner or best friend). It was.like the two of you were inseperatable, but then the other person passes away and you feel like you will never be yourself again and that you'll be broken for life. But then time passes, years pass and you start to heal from this loss. The person you loved will never come back, but YOU'RE still here. And you realize that you can actually feel peaceful and happy again and live with the fact that you will always miss this person, but it's possible to move on and be happy on your own.

The wind ensemble arrangement is better

Angels from heaven singing...... So beautiful

This brings peace to my soul.

The storms of life may shake our ground, a greater peace still dwells in our hearts. The dreams we build may fall apart, A deeper hope still runs in our hearts. Fear no harm, we are ruled by a far greater love, a far greater love Who would have known life would be such a mystery? For the world is yearning still and our hearts keep burning. We dare to believe there's something greater than our hearts We're never alone. All else may go wrong, still will there be a love far greater than our hearts

This is awesome! ❤

Simply stunning. I hadn't heard of it until the other day; it's on the song list for a concert by The Sixteen, a fantastic choir here in the UK. Very much looking forward to hearing it sung live in a few weeks, in December 2023.

The first time I ever heard this was at a live concert and I literally had tears of joy running down my cheek by the end. I simply could not comprehend the sheer beauty of the sound I was experiencing.

Absolutely sublime

Its like hearing the voices of million souls in purgatory asking for salvation. Nakakakilabot ang rendition ng Madz

I am unable to ascertain exactly what this Choir and Mr. Lauridsen intended, but they have jointly succeeded in making me tear up.

Awesome thanks

Beautiful worship, awesome hymnal, thanks for sharing the music.

hindi ko na ito masyadong naririnig sa churuch

I love this piece. I know it well. I can recall watching the premier of a Tavener violin concertto at the Barbican. In the interval there was a choir singing this piece next to the bar. The closed environment with the crunchy chords and polyphony melted my heart and I was in tears by the end of the interval. There's not one thing I don't like about this piece- just perfect.

BEAUTIFUL!❤

sang a version of this in swing choir my senior year in high school. it's always been a favorite of mine because of that. ❤❤

❤❤❤

Bless you. Amen ❤❤❤

Never gets old! Thank you GP. Eleria and Maestro Ryan Cayabyab! Three Choirs singing as one voice! Japan, Philippines and Singapore. We are all part of this wonderful change, let’s make it a better world one day at a time.

i really love this song 🥰🥰🥰

If everything is perfect in heaven, that means all music will be perfect. That means - some songs will receive a (considerable) bump upon entering into the kingdom. I imagine this song will sound pretty much the same as it does here on earth. It’s just pure perfection.

This is an extremely difficult hymn since the balance can easily get thrown.This was done excellent!!

One of my wife's favorite Catholic mass songs.

Good day Sir! This is Paul, a member of a church choir in our parish. I would like to ask where we could acquire a copy of this piece in SATB. Since we could not find a copy of it. We were able to somehow, transcribed it. Although we have been singing it for quite some time now. However, I'm very much certain that we've missed some. Hoping that this will reach you.

I graduated from Xavier University, which is a Jesuit university. This song is always on my phone. I'd love to hear them sing "I love the Lord" or "In him alone."

Originally from Bukas Palad Ministry (Philippines).

🐐s!! ❤️❤️

This music is holy. (Whether we are religious or not, we can all agree that this song transcends SOMETHING!) Having this come on my playlist at a quiet moment was so beautiful.

I want to dedicate this to my paternal great grandparents, all though I never met you. You are the reason I am here. Thank you for your dedication during difficult times in the past, may you be rest in eternal peace.
