Such a haunting and beautiful song. I heard this over 40 years ago at a women’s choral concert. It has been with me ever since. Thanks for posting this.
We sang this in '95 at Redford High School in Detroit. Our school has since been demolished and turned into a Meijer store. I remember our choir recording a professional cassette tape in the auditorium. There was a blind man on the audio setup. He captured us in our full glory, a bunch of black kids that loved music through and through. I still have that tape to this day! Other songs included: "Ladies And Ye Youthful Lovers", "Oh Shenandoah", "Siyahamba", "Locuste Iste" and "All My Trials".
This was one of my favorite songs we performed for my high school choir back in 1983-84. I felt my heart calm as soon as I heard the piano intro. Choir was like daily therapy.
Our Concert Choir sang this at competitions in the early to mid 90s and earned a Superior. This rendition is the closest I could find to what we performed. Ironically, my husband just deployed this week and now this song constantly haunts me. Phenomenal job on this piece!
I sang this version in my high school women's choir and state competition. Senior year 2004. Still one of my favorites along with Nigra Sum and Cantate
My mom used to sing this as a lullaby, over 6 decades ago. . . thank you for the smiles and tears of this gentle stroll down Memory Lane.
I heard my high school choir sing this in 1963. I cry every time I hear this haunting arrangement.
