The Power of Together - Choir Sounds

avatar

( EN / DE ) The idea for this post seemed very simple. As one of over 4 billion people on this earth, I watched at least part of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral on TV on Monday.
I liked the singing during the entrance into Westminster Abbey so much, again and again I am surprised how much I like this "sound". So the plan for this #threetunestuesday was to find three beautiful choir songs and report about them.

Die Idee zu diesem Post schien sehr einfach. Als einer von über 4 Milliarden Menschen auf dieser Erde habe ich am Montag zumindest teilweise das Begrägnis von Königin Elizabeth II im Fernsehen gesehen.
Der Gesang beim Einzug in die Westminster Abbey gefiel mir so gut, immer wieder bin ich überrascht, wie sehr ich diesen "Sound" mag. Also war der Plan für diesen #threetunestuesday sich drei schöne Chor Songs zu suchen und darüber zu berichten.

Well, dear @ablaze this won't be a conventional #ttt though, because with 3 songs this topic is rather impossible. In fact, I spent the entire Tuesday evening to lose myself in thousands of YouTube titles, so much there is to find and listen to.
Nun, lieber @ablaze das wird aber kein herkömmlicher #ttt werden, denn mit 3 Songs ist dieses Thema wohl eher nicht zu schaffen. Tatsächlich habe ich den gesamten Dienstag Abend damit verbracht, mich in tausenden von YouTube Titeln zu verlieren, so viel gibt es dazu zu finden und zu hören.

The Westminster Abbey song sounded something like this:

Monjes del Monasterio de San Benito - Santa Cecilia

I find these two classical monk and nun chants very soothing, somehow enlightening and simply beautiful.

Monjes del Monasterio de San Benito – Salmo 117

Very fascinating are the acoustics in the big churches, see what a wonderful sound is created with only 4 voices and where the microphones were placed for this recording.
Sehr faszinierend ist die Akkustik in den großen Kirchen, seht einmal welch wunderbarer Sound mit nur 4 Stimmen entsteht und wo die Mikrophone für diese Aufnahme aufgestellt wurden.

Or in the next song (Hallelujah, original by Leonhard Cohen), the structure is very interesting. It starts with two voices and a small female choir. Then with each verse two more male voices are added and with time the full sound of the choir develops.
So many different voices that add up to the big picture.

Oder beim nächsten Song (Halleluja, Original von Leonhard Cohen) ist der Aufbau sehr interessant. Es startet mit zwei Stimmen und einem kleinen Frauen Chor. Dann kommen bei jeder Strophe zwei weitere Männer Stimmen hinzu und mit der Zeit entwickelt sich der volle Klang des Chors.
So viele unterschiedliche Stimmen, die in der Summe das große Ganze ausmachen.

Monjes del Monasterio de San Benito - Halleluja

Then of course there are countless more modern variations of the old traditional monk and choir chants and in fact I also found a lot of meditation music with this theme, which was not known to me so far, so the first from the next two tunes, it is probably not to everyone's taste. But I hope you will like the second one, a Stairway To Heaven (Led Zeppelin) Cover
Dann gibt es natürlich unzählige moderner gestaltete Varianten der alten, traditionellen Mönchs und Chor Gesänge, hier zwei schöne Beispiele und tatsächlich habe ich auch sehr viel Meditations Musik mit diesem Thema gefunden, was mir bisher so nicht bekannt war, und das erste der beiden nächsten Stück ist wahrscheinlich nicht jedermanns Geschmack. Aber ich hoffe das zweite wird euch gefallen, ein Stairway To Heaven (Led Zeppelin) Cover.

Dan Gibson’s Solitudes - Kyrie Eleison

Gregorian - Stairway To Heaven



So much for my little excursion into the world of Christian church choral singing. Last but not least I found 3 good tunes for the ThreeTunesTuesday fitting to the topic choir!
Soweit also mein kleiner Exkurs in die welt der christlich kirchlichen Chorgesänge. Zuguterletzt habe ich doch noch 3 gute Tunes für den ThreeTunesTuesday passend zum Thema Chor gefunden!

TUNE 1

The classic, right? Enigma, who somehow made this sound common and presentable.

Enigma - Sadeness

TUNE 2

A song that made movie history with a great movie! 1492 - Conquest of Paradise

Vangelis - Conquest of Paradise

TUNE 3

When I discovered this video, I realized how much our European world has changed and evolved since these medieval choral songs were first heard.
Unimaginable to see such scenes a few decades ago, isn't it? But we have made it. We are free to express ourselves as we are and what we want. Women and men alike. It's good to remind ourselves that this wasn't the case not so long ago.
But we have left serfdom and oppression behind us. We have achieved values that we can appreciate and protect more.

Als ich dieses Video entdeckte wurde mir bewusst, wie sehr sich unsere europäische Welt verändert und entwickelt hat, seit diese mittelalterlichen Chor Gesänge zum ersten mal erklangen.
Unvorstellbar, solche Szenen vor ein paar Jahrzehnten zu sehen, oder? Doch wir haben es geschafft. Wir sind frei uns so auszudrücken, wie wir sind und was wir wollen. Frauen und Männer gleichermaßen. Das darf man sich gerne mal wieder bewusst machen, dass dies vor gar nicht allzu langer Zeit nicht so war.
Aber wir haben Leibeigenschaft und Unterdrückung hinter uns gelassen. Werte erreicht, die wir gerne mehr schätzen und schützen dürfen.

ERA - Ameno



Dear ones, this was a slightly different ThreeTunesTuesday, isn't it? I hope you enjoyed this little excursion into other sound worlds :-) Yours, B.

Ja ihr Lieben, das war ein etwas anderer ThreeTunesTuesday. Ich hoffe dennoch, euch hat der kleine Ausflug in andere Klang Welten gefallen.

And if you want to hear more now, you can go on a 4 hour meditation adventure! ;-) I didnt try myself by now, only listened a little bit, but I was very surprised when I saw the view numbers of this and similar videos on YouTube, didnt think they have so many listeners.
Und wer jetzt noch gerne mehr hören will, der kann sich ja auf ein 4 stündiges Meditations Abenteuer einlassen. Ich habe es selbst noch nicht ausprobiert, nur kurz hineingehört, ich war aber sehr verwundert, als ich die Aufruf Zahlen dieses und ähnlicher Videos gesehen habe, hätte mir nicht gedacht, dass diese so viele Zuhörer haben.

Gorgeous music. If I had to pick a number one favorite song it would be Hallelujah. These are all beautiful pieces of music.

When I first played your initial choir songs at the top, I was thinking, you can get some good choir songs but I always start humming Enigma or the awesome Ameno. I was then laughing and happy when you chose them as your selections. 😂❤️

No not old :-) it was a lot of things going on during the hive fest so you deserved a little rest :-) I think when we were younger we took more time off because it was easier to do.
Also only watched parts if the ceremony in Westminster Abbey and later the long walk to the castle.

Ah, very good this will be something a little different for sure.

Enigma -- Woah, not what I was expecting, love the beats with the choir music, the fusion works really well for me and really like the originality of it.. Thos pipe instruments that kick in around 1:30 are great and even my dog was looking around for where they were coming from..

Vangelis - Conquest of Paradise -- I can see a triumphant army or the like marching in victory, home after a war against evil which the won with this music as the backdrop. Very Game of Thrones-esque..

ERA - Ameno -- powerful, possibly my fav of the three, between this and the first one, really powerful stuff
