In Memoriam, from the soundtrack of Les Choristes

This song has one of the most beautiful countermelodies I’ve heard. More and more these days I wish I’d been part of a children’s chorus when I was young.

There is also an a cappella version that I would love to perform at some point…

The entire score of this movie (composed by Bruno Coulais) is just lovely.

Sicut Cervus from Palestrina (1525-1594)

choralphilia

From wikipedia:

Palestrina left hundreds of compositions, including 105 masses, 68 offertories, at least 140 madrigals and more than 300 motets. In addition, there are at least 72 hymns, 35 magnificats, 11 litanies, and four or five sets oflamentations.[2] His attitude toward madrigals was somewhat enigmatic: whereas in the preface to his collection ofCanticum canticorum (Song of Songs) motets (1584) he renounced the setting of profane texts, only two years later he was back in print with Book II of his secular madrigals (some of these being among the finest compositions in the medium).[2] He published just two collections of madrigals with profane texts, one in 1555 and another in 1586.[2] The other two collections were spiritual madrigals, a genre beloved by the proponents of the Counter-Reformation.[2]

Can you hit this note?

Decca Records is on the hunt for someone who can sing a low E, nearly three octaves below middle C.

Since our instruments are in our bodies we will often feel like they are really who we are. If we sing poorly then we are a bad person. It takes a lot of rewiring of the circuits to understand that we are not our voices.
