I love how the sopranos sing that high note almost casually... It gives a very different feel to the piece. Also, every time the tenors sing the "Hallelujah"... Very relaxed.. 😍 The best interpretation IMO.
I show this clip to my choirs to demonstrate focus and attitude. So often, choirs are either focused OR active. This is a great combination of the two.
Every time I hear or sing the end of this piece, I think of a workshop my choir did with Brainard. I still chuckle when I remember him galloping back and forth across the stage, arms a-flailin', in full preacher-on-fire mode, trying to teach us the timing of the back and forth with the high G's. "Then WHY? A-every, He deLIVered, YES he did! YES! Delivered Daniel from the LION! Oh yes, Oh tell me WHY? a-every, he deLIVered... Fun time. And we never sang the end wrong again after that
I can do a technical analysis too, but instead, let me say this performance leaves me breathless. It has everything that this wonderful and very demanding setting by the immensely gifted Moses Hogan calls for. In addition, I challenge any group anywhere to sing with more spirit and confidence that the well prepared Nathanal Dett Chorale. This group, this conductor, and this performance deserves my highest praise. I say "Well done".
I am used to this song being sung by quartets and not a choir so for me to have this kind of execution and performance is of the highest order. Well done as well.
This performance of Didn't My Lord was incredible. I loved.. LOVED the dynamic phrasing!!! I hope I can convince my professor to allow us to learn this piece next semester!!
I would find you here saying that. My ears aren't so tuned that I can tell if something is flat just by listening and relating it to my past experiences with the piece. Oh, and I know someone in this video! Go Jamie Hillman!
It is just dependent upon the arrangement, but in the original first arrangement (not the original composition), the "Hallelujah" was attributed to the soprano.
This is most certainly gospel music. The classical undertone is slightly more forward in this song, but that does not remove it from the list of gospel pieces.
@Jubel06 What are you saying? Have you ever heard a Moses Hogan arrangement of an uptempo spiritual? Go get a CD of the Moses Hogan Chorale and listen. Let's also discuss vocal technique that was taught in 1930 and 2010...Its a different style of teaching now.
@CharlieBladeRemus I looked, but couldn't find it... i think you can get it on iTunes... i have the CD and the DVD of their concert with that tune on the program...
when we sang this song in school i passed out and smacked my face on the piano
My face is red and I’m lightheaded by the end every time
So what was the message from above?
I hope you were okay.
🤣
This is really the most memorable song I sang in school in the 90s.

DOPE
This man is truly blessed with talent. I am sure he is making music with the angels now. RIP.
If you mean the people in the video, we’re all still alive and well. 🎉

This is ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.....!
I love it 🥰 this choir sang clearly so I can understand the song so I can practice it with my choir too!! may his soul r.i.p 💔

It's a lively and a very authentic presentation of the song. It lifts you up. This group is amazing and they sure have there own style.

Gotta love Moses Hogan. Love the style of his arrangements
A virtuoso performance, one of the best I've ever witnessed in my life! I'll be looking for their CDs!
It's the Moses Hogan arrangement of Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel. It's widely available at music stores and online.
as a choral director, i 100% agree with you. It had the same effect on me as it did with any other version of the song.
bravissssssiiiiiiiimi
Cool!
singin this for christmas concert
I would find you here saying that.
My ears aren't so tuned that I can tell if something is flat just by listening and relating it to my past experiences with the piece.
Oh, and I know someone in this video! Go Jamie Hillman!
I'll sum it up in three words: FLAT FLAT FLAT!!!
But the deeper question is, are we all listening to the same performance???
😍😍😍
Great
Impressive.
we jus did this for a concert :) pownage!
1:32 - did anybody else notice that guy is not in some of the other shots? :/
I get to solo this. Hellyes.
Love it can't get enough.
It is just dependent upon the arrangement, but in the original first arrangement (not the original composition), the "Hallelujah" was attributed to the soprano.
I love this!!! What year was this recorded?💙💙💙💙💙💙🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶💙💙💙💙💙💙
we song this song in chior at lee high BR LA
If you were still interested, its by Moses Hogan! look for that on whatever choral music website you use
Starting at 2:18 my absolute favorite part of the song!
the cortette is singing so WIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is most certainly gospel music. The classical undertone is slightly more forward in this song, but that does not remove it from the list of gospel pieces.
Those tenors are John Lindsay-Botten (the 'big' tenor), Justin Bacchus, Bramwell Pemberton, and Jamie Hillman.
Wooohu

I'm singing that song for choir
So tight! God bless Moses Hogan
Also why is everyone in this so hot
Me and my choirmates still LOL at 1:46 when that blonde and the girl beside her start grinding like they're in the club LMAO
Remarkable work. Whether there are notes of this work? Help to find please.
@musicalifer why yes! Isn't it fashionable? Took me about as long to put it on as it took you to think of that snappy comeback.
@CharlieBladeRemus I looked, but couldn't find it... i think you can get it on iTunes... i have the CD and the DVD of their concert with that tune on the program...
