- The Coppell High School Varsity Men's Chorus sings at the Heritage Festival in London. The competition was held in the beautiful concert hall of the Royal Academy of Music. Kevin did an amazing job with the solo and the guys were awesome! They were the only group to get a standing ovation in the competition.

I sang this song in a 4 -part boys' choir way back in 1958 during my secondary school in King's College, Hong Kong. We won the annual school competition. It is still a nostalgic memory of the old days in British colonial Hong Kong.
This is 11 years old now but you dudes rocked it! Reminds me of my days in HS choir fun times!
Upon further review. It is simply unbelievable that this is a high school choir. From what planet did that soloist get those solid, manly baritone notes into the same voice with that beautiful tenor range? I hope he's a professional by now.
This is absolutely beautiful 💯🤲🏾
I was in the CHS/SJA choir in high school (very recently), and am glad to say that they’re still performing this song very well to this day!
*3 years later*
still the best version here on CZcams
Still is
got struck in the heart... solo, basses, harmonies, direction of the choir... wonderfull ! !!
this choir director is mine now!! love her to death..so amazing. wonderful as always Mrs.West;)
just wow. this is well done on all levels, and i mean arrangement, soloist, basses, tenors, the balance of everyone combined, quality of singing, interpretation, dynamics, everything. it's such a dychotomy with the faces so young, amazing

0:38 someone put on headphones and tell me what low note did that bass hit god damn and not to mention the tenor solo sounds god almighty
It’s an F2 to a G2, Which is pretty low for a choral song.
Boundary F#2, the dude who sang it was a beast. He made All-State Mixed choir twice as a Bass II. He's probably singing opera now.
I sang this for mens day..and it still stands in my soul to this day.
Still the Best Best Version
Everrrrrrrr
Listen to those basses beastin'. This is awesome and I'm SO happy to find this version. Heard too many jazzy/gospel version that just don't have the impact this does. Who is the composer?
Check Moses Hogan
It's louis armstrong
It is an old slave song.
@@feliciaharris553 you're right!! I know the basic history of spirituals and I think that is another reason they are so impactful now. "Tell old Pharoah let my people go." It's a powerful message.
We sung this song a lot when I was a child. Especially growing up in the AME Church, it was a staple before the 80s.
This is how this song is supposed to sound. This is the proper way.
I just wanna say -- I've been listening to various recordings of this on CZcams, incl Louis Armstrong and Paul Robeson -- which I very, very much like. Friends from Coppell -- this is my favorite!
This chorus and this arrangement (including piano) have done a marvelous job of capturing the spirit of this piece. This IS a dark song- just read the words! This is NOT a toe-tapper- this is a lament. Livelier? 102?? Bite your tongue!!
Director (please tell us who you are!), chorus, Kevin, pianist- Thanx to all of you for giving this to us all.
Absolutely gorgeous! My choir is learning this song now and I must say that you guys were simply incredible. And the soloist has a tremendous voice.
I am plesantly surprised that these young men sound this good they are excellent. A High School Choir i now know that there is still hope for our youth
@rootedinfaith3 - This arrangement is by Moses Hogan. It can be purchased from most choral sheet music outets online. It was arranged in TTBB.
they snapped !!! I throughly enjoyed this bass gang !
Amazingly great, I'm learning this in choir. That soloist was great.
best version here on youtube
Traffix88 You haven’t listened to the Moses Hogan singers then, lol.
Wow...what a performance. They all have such beautiful singing, and the tone and timing of the entire song is flawless! Truely a form of art :)
I'm so glad I got to see this in person.
I'm still moved when I listen to it, I remember sitting in the pews stunned.
men's varsity chorus from Coppell High School in Coppell TX. We were performing at a festival in London.
I'm in love with the soloist

*hugs you all* Great solo. I just LOVE this song and you all did a wonderful job with it!!
Kudos to the conductor. Very interesting and musical interpretation. Soloist---You go, boy!
WOW, this is a high school choir?
The basses and the soloist are particularly impressive. And the sound is very clean. I don't hear a lot of noise or bad notes, except one in the piano near the middle of the piece. Good sforzando and pianissimo.
Wow, what voices and what presence! Great job and great video.
i got chills :)
That was really good!! Especially the soloist, he was great!
Kevin! You have a magnificent voice. I hope you have done something with that voice after this video. Beautiful voices in the choir! Congratulations to your choir director.
Yo, the soloist in this piece was freakin sick b! Well done boys.

Great.. Solo is very nice and all is wonderful.
Wow! I really enjoyed this! I was pleasantly surprised and would of never guessed this was high school choir. Man you all should post more videos.

Well done. Superior.
That was inspiring
I’m an alto, and I for some reason didn’t realize how different the song sounded with guys in it (treble choir) so when I started singing along I 1.) sound weird cause I was higher and 2.) they sing it differently then we’re doing it at my middle school.
oh wow, thats good. You're very talented, i watched the prayer video...and its true, you do have great range.
I love Men's chorus' cuz i was in them Go Tenors!!
I'm so impressed.
Cant believe you're a HS-Choir.
Yes it is
The video is amazing,
but it was just...awe inspiring for those who were there in person. My school was there watching you perform after us,
and we were at the banquet,
though I could have sworn your school got the gold, but I much have been mistaken.
We got the Spirit of London award that time around,
I only wish we were going back next year.
=]
Is this arrangement available?
Im pleased thy lord over all the David dude
there were a LOT of good things here, #1 is getting that many teenage boys working as a group!
When I was a freshman in high school 33 years ago we had more than 14 boys in the choir................a few years later the choir director retired due to bad health I went to a concert that his replacement was leading. There were 8 boys in the choir vs. more than 25 girls.
Girls just like singing in high school more than boys do.
r5t6y12 In my school (Currently a senior in highschool) We have a classroom full of 26 male students and in the women's portion of the class about 30. Us in the male group usually get along WAY more than the female students. (Drama ETC.) Also in different classes.
High school? Damn! that kid sure has a strong clean baritone voice.
Kevin is awesome
Im doing this with HCYC next saturday :') I love this so much (Y)
so pretty it made me cry. ;0
@HindsightPOV
whats does the skin color and body size have to do with voice?
so pretty.
According to the score, there is no indication whether it has to be a tenor or bass soloist. When Moses Hogan recorded it (Moses Hogan Choral Series 2002 double cd), he used a bass soloist with the soloist using his falsetto on the high, soft parts. The use of the treble clef was to avoid ledger lines.
Coppell, TX
WOW!! Impressive!z But they donhave nothing on ybchoirvwhen we did this. Lol. And that soloist delivered!!! He's an amazing vocalist!!!
My school right now has 41 boys in a all boys choir and 15 in advanced choir for high-school
Wow
Sounds way better than the choir I’m in lol
Nice.
