My brother-in-law, an Irish tenor, sang this at my wedding 56 years ago. It was absolutely glorious. Our choir, in which my husband and I sang, sang this many times. All glory to Him Who sits on the throne! ❤️

Wunderbar! Diese Stimmen, das Orchester, einfach grossartig! Das muss man sich immer wieder anhören!

Gounod found the right way to glorify God through his Sanctus of that Saint Cecilia mass. Great work and great performance. 👏👏👏👍👍👍

From crime-ridden South Africa, this music makes life worthwhile in these very difficult and stressful times. Thank you.

Absolutely sublime, played frequently by my companion and I and subsequently, as my goodbye, at his recent cremation.

I love it in the ending of nosferatu, one of the best films of all time, simply beautiful

This really does help to ease the pain of losing a life partner. I lost mine 3 1/2 years ago and THIS is my 'go to' for a chance to reflect on and appreciate what I had while listening to Gunoud's incomparable music! BRAVI and thank you!

This is one of the best videos of its kind on Youtube, the performance is magnificent, the sound is well balanced, and the video recording is tops, I'm surprised that number of views is not greater. Thank all who had a part in the production.

St Cecelia is the Patron Saint of Musicians, Poets, and the Blind. I am losing my sight. I appreciate this performance.

*Sanctus* by Charles Gounod from Mass of St Cécilia performed at Dresden Frauenkirche.

Check out the architecture, magnificent. The Church was given a Baroque finishing. You can see the glory of God manifesting in arts. Beautiful! Beautiful!! Beautiful!!!

J'aime beaucoup ce sanctus. Et ce qui est touchant c'est de voir la joie des gens qui sont dehors, magie de la musique.

[margretsehestedt]

Großartig und ergreifend und tröstend. Diese Musik schenkt mir immer wieder Gottvertauen und Zuversicht in den nächsten Tag 😊

#rehearsal #sanctus #gounod
So beautiful and so clear. Yes, it is well performed, well sung, and as equally crucial, well recorded. How else would we hear it, if the recording were not well done, which is greatly appreciated?

As this piece is often performed around Christmas, there are many church choirs and oratorio societies that will view this piece in the future. I will let the listeners know a secret. Since it's very expensive to hire an orchestra to rehearse with, many of us choristers use YouTube videos, such as this one, to rehearse with. Then we hire a band for the dress rehearsal or just for the performance only. I know this because groups I have sung with have been doing it this way for as long as videos existed on YouTube. Previously we used to use cassettes (oh my, what are those? said all the kids.)

Since this video has only been up for 10 months or so, and most concerts have been canceled this year (2020), I hope this video will get many views in the future. (It's also because you stuck to the choral score as far as I am concerned.) I plan to recommend it for rehearsals whenever we reschedule Sanctus.
