Beautifully done! Sound is exemplary.
Ascolta Signore, questo canto giunge al Cielo💖🙏🏻🙏🏻
Congratulations, Mr. Simpson! Bravo!
Bravo!
So well done! Beautiful.
Here is another superlative choir and choral sound. Well done! Keep up the high standard. There are many choral groups and directors who will be aided by listening to you. I must say that Texas is well represented with wonderful choirs.
Muito lindo. Inesquecível
What a splendid, evocative work! It reminded me of a piece by Béla Bartók ((one practically unknown even by Bartok aficionados) for women's chorus and chamber ensemble that included a Lullaby, a poignant, unison melody set against tart harmonies that reflected the composer's efforts to reimagine ancient Magyar folk songs.
Divino arreglo!!! ❤❤❤
Beautifully sung!! Intonation is perfect.
I lovè this chior music its so relaxing. I also have gregorian chant cds i like to listen at half blast on my car stereo 😅. Ill have to lo9k for these choiral music selections too. I like the Russian version of these songs too played on Soviet sub movies.
Perfect! 😃
Thank you for featuring this lovely piece!
THIS is the most sacred music I have ever heard or have been blessed to sing under Dr. Donald H. RIPPLINGER. What a sacred event to bring us closer to HIM.
It is what it has to be, absolutely superb and accurate
Exquisitely celestial, uniquely beautiful.
Oh my gosh, I’m so happy I found this piece. What a beautiful piece!
Powerful! So glad to hear this!
I love the relaxed pacing. It really immerses you.
I am so excited about performing this work in a few weeks time! Bob wrote the original version for two choirs in Birmingham UK, one of them was my Youth Choir. I absolutely LOVE your recording of this work!
Chilcott is a genius!
Still my very favorite version of this. Thank you and hope you are all still singing and well. ❤
Beautiful 😍
Greg sounds so good here!!
Great seeing the choir clap their hands as they sing this song.
Beautiful. I love harmony. Check out "A Pilgrim's Song" if you want to hear one that's easy to understand. czcams.com/video/JzwlxFlDaUo/video.html
What a beautiful music with beautiful renditions ❤❤❤😊
sublime
I drove four hours with my daughters to come hear this concert…and it was worth every minute. This ensemble truly embodied the message in this piece. Thank you for sharing this important that we will shall overcome. ~RTG

Excellent arrangement, it it possible to purchase this arrangement for band and choir?
Why?
What makes you ask why?
Do you understand the history of this song? If you would you would also ask yourself why they chose to sing it @@80sglory
Am I the only one who used this video for All Region practice
Well executed 😇❤
Nice ❤
Glorious sound ❤
Интересно, они понимают о чем поют ?!

だんだん歌の意味が分かってきた。いい歌だね!
It is good to sing gently and quietly like this and I love moderate words. Wonderful!!
Just the perfect antidote for the hot summer days in Orlando! Thank you.
Wow!!!❤❤❤
Beyond beautiful! Your second recording of this exquisite Billy Joel ballad is even more emotive, if that’s possible, than your last version. Thanks for changing the male soloist to a Tenor voice. This singer’s vocals blended so very nicely with the song’s message. The choir’s harmony is so well matched as to sound like one melodic voice. This performance convinces me to put hearing your group perform live on to my bucket list. One day….
This is beautifully performed. Thank you so much for sharing your artistry.
BEST VERSION!
A stunning version of one of Billy Joel's most unrecognized masterpieces. The emotion of the song is palpable when the full choir sings. Choir members are masters at singing so emotionally with one voice. Maybe because Joel is a tenor, the solo part by a bass seemed miscast for this song. An outstanding singer, for sure, a lighter and higher male voice would better complement the emotional intensity of the choir. Thank you for recording this contemporary classic.
Semplicemente fantastico meraviglia pura..meritate l..olimpo degli dei.
