A performance by these young singers, 7 years ago now. I hope each one of them will continue to draw on the beauty of music through their lives. Thank you to the conductor and, above all, to Morten Lauridsen, not forgetting the poet James Agee
This is a wonderful performance of what has become one of my favorite short choral works. What a treat to have Dr. Lauridsen at the piano.
I Love how Morten Lauridsen avails himself to the young and new so they can absorb his superb sense of time and all the other beautiful gifts he has to offer. He draws a beautiful performance from those who are in his presence. An amazing gentle-Man. You learn More from the BEST.
What a wonderful sound this high school choir is able to produce. I am in awe of your talent!
What a privilege to have lauridsen himself at the piano
The singing is superb for a High School choir. Mighty impressive, I say. God bless these talented young people and the conductor and pianist.
Great to hear this wonderful piece accompanied by its composer. Other conductors observe his tempo!
Accompanists take note! That is the composer himself at the piano, emulate what he does.
you probably dont give a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times you can watch all of the latest series on Instaflixxer. Have been watching with my brother for the last days =)
@Jadiel Ethan Yea, been using Instaflixxer for since november myself =)
My choir sang this beautiful song, and it is glorious and Morten Lauridson
most well put together sounding high school choir I've ever heard
Love Morten!! Have met him and have sung his masterpieces!!
Our Darling Sparky went to her Rainbow Bridge yesterday 🥲😻🌈
16 beautiful years with her and she surely must’ve sent us this beautiful hymn of praise I just heard on the radio 😢❤️🙏
So sorry about your Sparky. Nothing is harder. wish you peace
This is a wonderful choir.
Goosebumps. Every.Single.Time. Thank you.
🇩🇪 ganz wunderbar, ausgezeichnet und excellent! Bravo!
Braviiiiii!!!!👏💌
I love the fact that the choir are singing 'scrambled'! It makes for a much more cohesive sound, instead of having blocks of different voices. I love singing 'scrambled'! Beautiful interpretation and no music!
@@robertssje Perhaps you should ask the various very competent and knowlegeable conductors our choir has had over the years.
I much prefer singing “scrambled “ and think it produces a more blended sound
@@robertssjeI’m a credentialed CA music teacher and it would benefit you to consider how you speak with others virtually. Do your own research about how standing arrangements affect choral tone. Begin with Dr. Charlene Archibeque.
I'd love to know what reasons are there for having separately grouped parts. It's obviously easy to train that way, and people will sing more confidently if they hear those next to them singing the same thing, but that's psychological.
Yes, I agree. My church choir in Hartford, CT. sang "scrambled", as you call it. At first I found it a challenge, but grew to prefer it, as I had all parts close by, and could more effectively hear and strive for a more balanced whole, than when singing in sections in various choral societies. Also it encouraged greater independence, rather than on relying slavishly on one's neighbors for, pitch, tempo, etc. Good discipline!
So lovely a performance of this lovely piece.
Is wonderful so much feeling in this work.
This was absolutely gorgeous!!!!
Learning this at the moment with a male voice choir. Tough but rewarding.
Sure On This Shining Night
Sure on this shining night
Of star made shadows round,
Kindness must watch for me
This side the ground.
The late year lies down the north.
All is healed, all is health.
High summer holds the earth.
Hearts all whole.
Sure on this shining night I weep for wonder wand'ring far
alone
Of shadows on the stars.

This touches so deep beyond words
I've heard several recorded versions of this piece, but I find the performance by these young singers especially moving.
Beautifully presented.
Bravissimo
very good..well done..from a pro singer in Auckland
Why is this video so quiet? You have to turn the volume all the way up!
Superb! Congratulations!
piano's too loud.
