I have sung this many times in a very large and famous choir I used to belong to and this is precisely how this song should be performed. Every vowel, every consonant, every dynamic change, done to perfection. Bravo!
Yes you and I both LOL I grew up Church of Christ and our choirs/chorus sung everything acapella, I have always had a pretty decent singing range , so I would actually shock people because my speaking voice is a tenor but I used to sing bass and not only though, bass but I sung 2nd bass LOL (IDK ijs thas all just a nostalgic thought)
i live for that good 3 seconds of delay when the audience is stunned before they start clapping. thats when you know you did good
They did amazing. But the piece is over when the conductor put their hands down. So they were waiting for that.
Did well
The audience is waiting for the conductor to signal the end of the song by lowering his hands. The real way to know you've done good is an immediate standing ovation.
that high note and the crescendo at the end was perfectly beautiful it gave me chills great job
Love the conductor's expressions.
WOWW that soprano solo got meeee. everyone is soooo gooddd. role models.
I KNOW!!! But I'm SOOO mad at the camera person for not showing us who was singing it!!!
SAMEEEEEE
Found her!! 1:48 - center-left, long brown hair
@@whatihavetogive Still can't find her, they all have long brown hair!
@@bwolff7364 I think it's the one with lighter brown hair in curls
1:25 to the end; Chills, every time. Wow this is awesome.
One of my favorite choral pieces ever. They nailed it!
That chord gets me every time, instant chills.
The pronounciation here is what mr Hogan want it to be
loving that conductor’s energy, and the beautiful timbre of this choir :)
and the play with dynamics at the end is awesome
my God, i can’t wait to be a part of the choir program at UNT this fall 💚🥺🦅 #GoMeanGreen
Best version I've found
Listened to Northwestern sing on Sunday in Coventry Cathedral, England. They brought me to tears! THANK YOU 🙏🏼
Atlanta Boy Choir brought me here Blessings and Hugs 💜💜💜
You all sound absolutely amazing, the clarity is so lovely!
This is one of the closes to the original I have heard. Nicely done.
**closest**
Beautiful!! 👏👏👏♥️
This is beautiful...
Am I the only one who played this in my MIDDLE SCHOOL CHOIR?
me too and it was cheeks
@@7avxry7 LMAO
music is my blood and i’ll put my whole back into it but if somebody handed this to me to learn in middle school i would literally quit choir
That’s is ridiculous. I’m doing it for my High School Select Chorale. We’re one of the best in the eastern United States; performing at Carnegie Hall in June. We still struggled a bit to perfect this one!
Awesome! What great voices!
Perfect
Amazing! My high school madrigals is doing this and I have the soprano solo. Hopefully I can slay it like her!!
I bet you did
you got this!
Why are you assuming THEIR gender?
Fabulous!!!
De todas las versiones que he escuchado de este espiritual negro, esta es la más impactante de todas, por el volumen de la soprano que hace los agudos al cierre de la interpretación: fuerte, consistente y el vibrato no le quiebra la columna de aire. Y en cuanto al coro, una sonoridad absolutamente arrolladora.
Wow😍😍😍
I was gonna comment how I felt because this song was so fast but then I realized that I still had it on 1.25x speed 😂 this is amazing. I wish I was still in a choir so I could sing this
🤣🤣
👏
1:38 😭😭
OKKKKKKAY SLAY😱
Tenors falsetto on the F? Baritones under cover?
Oooooo exposed!
Do you have a free piece of this song?
Finally I hear the “T” in Battle and not a “D”
Nice one, but you should listen this from Bogazici Jazz Choir.
This is awesome? But why is the choir singing "the battle am in my hand"? Is that right?
Thats what theyre saying.
Стёпа Лапшин that's what's written in the music
That is the correct lyrics in the bass part in this particular piece
😍🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
1:06
UwU lol
Good attempt for a university choir. That soprano descant was superb but can't hide the weak tenor section, making it completely lacking of that "battle feel" to it. I'm quite certain this rendition was inspired by the University of Santo Tomas (UST) Singers from the Philippines who recorded this song from a live performance in a tour abroad in 1998 after winning the title "Choir of the World" for the first time in 1995. It's a somewhat "clean" rendition, though, which makes it sound decent overall.
margtril maybe the choir director had the tenors sing softer....I know that’s what the tenors has to do in my choir when we performed this
