CWU Chamber Choir: Gjeilo - "Sanctus"

I believe the melody can only come from heaven. Unearthly beauty and harmony.

Wonderful Sounding Choir!❤

Bravo!

I've heard several recordings of this song--some more recent, some recorded with the latest recording equipment, some in grand performance spaces--and THIS is still my favorite performance, by far. Just exquisite.

I'm going to CWU next year, but this year as a senior, my chamber choir is getting invited to sing with CWU's choir and I'm so excited😭

Pure beauty!

Stunning. This music reminds me of how beautiful human beings can be. They sound like literal angels

Beautiful!

What a lot of rot; a load of sentimental, derivative claptrap!

UWU

Who downed this, 20 ? Lol

J'adore Ola Gjeilo ! ! ! Mais , alors , le " Sanctus " par le C.W.U. ,waouuuuuuuuuuuu ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Superb, inspiring, moving, just fantastic! Thank you, Ola Gjeilo, thank you The Central Washington University Choir, and Gary Weidenaar!

I am so impressed by what seems like a fantastic relationship between the director and choir. They seem so in tune and sensitive to each other in direction and response, which really contributes to the overwhelming success of this performance. So beautiful.

Lovely....need to hear more bass but that could be mic placement

This performance inspired me to have a change of heart and turn my life around. Thank you, CWU. Ad maiorem Dei gloriam!

I feel so spiritual and so deeply moved by this group of angels singing. What talent. I’m swept away into another realm. It’s almost like an out of body experience when you listen. Well composed and performed. Thank you all for this gift.

Wow angels 😍😍😍

Wonderful balance between parts, fine diction, intonation, and an uncommon arrangement very well performed! I just found this splendid choir. It is not easy to locate an above average choir director who can form such a sound year after year. Congratulations and God Bless.

Oh my gosh I’m singing this for all state and I’m only in 8th gradeeee

So powerful, stunning and gripping

really exited.Superb.God bless you

My 5 and 3 year old Grandchildren think you are angels singing and Love this song.

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of music to have ever been written! It moves me every time I listen to it! This choir and conductor have reached places with this piece. Well done to all involved!

Excellent!!

Splendido....ma peccato per la pronuncia....

Perfect <3

Magnificent sound!!!!

after all these years i still come back to this performance. it's unmatched.

They really nailed this one. Very nice! Wonderful control on those difficult chords!

Common error in most acapella vocal groups, putting the basses in the back and letting the sopranos sing too loudly. The whole harmony needs to be inverted in order to balance properly. Higher frequency sounds are more audible than lower frequency sounds. Therefore more power needs to be put forth by the low register and less power by the upper register. Enhancing the bass foundation and minimizing the volume of the sopranos will send chills down your spine when you get the balance right. Anybody can sing the right notes, but balancing the harmony will put you in a class above the rest.

still coming back for this is the absolutely most beautifully perfect recording of this master piece!

where can I get a music piece of this song?

so beautiful

Bravo, Gary - this is a really lovely performance!

Totally blown away!

I can feel a true mind which can lead me to the Heaven when they sing this piece. Thank you so much.

Splendide; une prouesse vocale et artistique. Bravo et merci !

In addition to the fabulous vocal talent, the uniformity, simplicity, and sharpness in the attire is striking. i like the fact that each woman is wearing the same pearl necklace. And that no one in the coir stands out in particular. Very few choirs aver achieve this appearance of "oneness". Congrats!

p.s The overtones are chilling (in a good way).

Waw !

Brian skux yune

Sublime, simplemente sublime.

The musical blend and dynamics is heavenly.The sopranos certainly take center stage in this particular arrangement.

That soprano in the corner sticks out so much on the high notes -_- blend a little maybe

😢😢😢 so beautiful!

This makes me believe in God

Magnificent

y'all are so bright
