VOCES8: I Was Glad by Henry Purcell

TEXT
I was glad when they said unto me: We will go into the house of the Lord.
For thither the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord: to testify unto Israel,
For there is the seat of judgement: even the seat of the house of David.
O pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy walls: and plenteousness within thy palaces.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. Amen

Purcell died in 1695, but here we are in 2023 and these words are still true - “O pray for the peace of Jerusalem”
-
I am glad for Voces8 that’s for sure

O pray for the peace of Jerusalem ...and all over the world!

The intonation of the ladies around 0:11-:013 is just incredible. I mean, it's all incredible but you can hear overtones and their dynamics match absolutely perfectly. And that last chord sounds like an organ. What a joy it must be to sing in a group like this, I couldn't even imagine. Bravo as always!

Glorious...a perfect prayer for peace for our now times.

Such timing, harmony and presentation, wonderful performance warmed up a cold start to the day. 😊

Bravi! I had the pleasure of hearing VOCES8 in Chicago a few weeks ago, and was awed by their pure brightness. If you have the chance to hear them perform, for goodness sake, go!
-
Glorious and stunning ! Thank you so much for bringing so much joy and happiness into this world.

Was finally able to attend a VOCES8 performance in person (The Plains, VA, USA). Absolutely incredible even with the occasional passing train interrupting the performance. 😂 I read a post once where someone said they can't possibly sound that good without it being enhanced. Yes, they can and do. Amazing!

First music I listened to while still in bed this morning. It was like having a row of the most beautiful songbirds serenading me on my bedroom window perch. Heavenly! ❤🎵🕊

This was truly incredible. I particularly loved how each unique voice was allowed to flow in and out and then blend perfectly when required! Not an easy thing to do at all!
