Cannot gett enough of this, and it's such a treat to read along. (Or even sing ).

I've been hunting for this for years and years. Last heard it on the BBC as sung by the Choir of Kings College, Cambridge over 15 years ago. All over the archives and all over youtube. I thought it might have been my imagination that I had ever heard it all. I watched every sacred music based programme in case it cropped up. And I stumbled across this completely by accident. In a youtube play list that the bots put together. Thank you very much. Duly saved.

What exact time? You may just be mishearing the words being sung.

That recap at 1:40 on "Hosanna in the highest places." gets me. Every. Single. Time. Heck, I'm a tenor and when the basses and alti sing it I just go "SING IT AGAIN!!!!!!"

There are indeed several versions of this piece floating around. I sang one in college (about 20 years ago - yikes!) which I think was 4-part only (or possibly 4-part with divisis, my memory is fuzzy on that detail) where the score had NO time signature at all, just the notes/rhythms, and longer periods of rest were indicated as beats of rest. I am a bass, so we would have had 40-something beats of rest at the very beginning, and I think 30-something beats before the Hosanna comes back at the end. And this was back before listening to it on YouTube to get it in our ear was a thing, so we just had to count those rests REALLY well!

What is this tendency to sing everything with the same pulsation (this is the third morphthing video I've listened to this morning.
What is this tendency to replace 4/4 time signature with 2/2?

Are you sure it's not a computer singing this?

Edward Thornbury

This is mensural music - they used a different notation system! It's before common practice, where 4/4 means the quarter note gets the pulse.

This is mensural music (pre-baroque) - not common practice music where 4/4 means quarter note to the pulse!!

All the scores are from cpdl.org, I don't have time to proof read every score but I am sure it would be greatly appreciated if you can post the errors you have found on the page for this piece which should hopefully be corrected at somepoint.

It's Hosanna in the highest heavens.

ow ok i miss hear it all i know is hallelujah, but i have more concern in 1:10 i hear a high note from soprano Im not sure.but the said lyrics is "Name of the Lord" before Peace in heav'n. i watch the lyrics but i see its in the Alto 2 part but why is it. it hear's he or she sing's it in high note? is it Soprano 1 who sing's it or the Alto 2

I think the other lyrics of this song is wrong its because i hear some lyrics Hallelujah but there's no Hallelujah word on this song is this the right lyrics of this, please make a clear of it. I love the song and the piece !

I thought so too... but... still WONDERFUL!

Lumisatmi

You are correct in that the singing does not match the score around 1:10, it seems there are a few different versions of this piece floating around. But I think you misheard the "hallelujah".

Fraulein Marie Caroline

if the Alto 2 sings it why is it they sing's it in high but it is only LA alto Note or A4 flat and its also flat ! why is it?

Fraulein Marie Caroline

I think its not wrong, I think it was done by their Conductor he change's a little something on the piece of the song sheet..... some conductor doing this, they change something to add It's beauty of the Song!!

Fraulein Marie Caroline

but Gladly they sing's it nice but not nice but almost wonderful The lyrics Name of the lord has added its more Harmonious when they sing it in high note its more praising the Name of the Lord !! the final comment its : I'm already Speech less !! ^_^

RML Bobby D

Brilliant - spotted an error(?) by the Tenors at 0050 "Israel" sang to dotted crotchet / quaver. Only noticed as I was singing along! Will look at the rest now....................Best Wishes.

Just a heads up to all my fellow Soprano 1s, at 0:58, in mesure 29, the Db was sung as a D natural. It was sung correctly in 30!
This is a crucial accidental to get right, in order to establish the modulation.
