- Do Not Stand At My Grave and Weep by the Montgomery High School mixed chorale under the direction of Heather Orr. A somber yet beautiful song that exemplifies the vocal tonality and amazing accompanist of the group
This song is… just. wow. Last time it was preformed (by another choir), a little girl had died in a car crash right outside their school. They learned that their performance was in the same church just 2 hours after the little girl’s memorial service. Today was supposed to be a friend’s memorial service (before it was moved to Wednesday). We are preforming this song today for honor choir.
Also once a lady had to play the piano for it only a few months after she watched her husband tragically die then she slipped and shattered her elbow.
This song has meaning. It has the most incredible, magical timing. I’m in awe.
My choir is singing this song next week for our Fall Concert. My choir director is dedicating it to two of his students who died last year in two different car accidents.
Good luck!
I'm singing this with my choir, and after the Connecticut shooting, this song had meaning. We all broke down crying after the song was over. RIP
Good luck! Have fun Kim!
I sang this with my choir during my first year of college. I almost cried while we sang it...
and that made me weep.
My choir class(7th & 8th grade) is sing this song its absolutely gorgeous i am glad my teacher picked it out for us... The choir that sung this is what we hope to sound like..It was great \
My middle school choir is singing this and When we first heard it some of us started crying. Beautiful song.
Truly beautiful. Nothing like a choir to make you cry
I love this version of the song! Especially by your choir its so seamless and beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
This is one of my audition songs for a large choir in my area, and the other day in my choir class, we talked about the meaning of it, read aloud the words, and listened to it with our eyes closed, and over half of us (including the boys) started crying
Side note: that wasn't even our first time hearing it and we had been singing it for about a week before this and we still managed to sob over it
You're auditioning for All-West too😂
ayy good luck you guys !!
Mora Kenton Official Bailey, did u guys make it, i sang this song for all state in texas
Another update: I'm currently going through the loss of someone important to me, and I requested that audio of this choir singing this song be played at the funeral.
This is absolutely stunning. Really. I sang this with my High School choir a few years ago, and I just fell in love with it, but have not been able to find a recording of it until now! The composer did a wonderfull job with the piece, and you all interpreted it with the utmost sensitivity and care. Thank you for this fantastic music. =)
my beloved dog of 13 years died to day
Syndal Smith I cried when I read your words
What a beautiful version ...... Thank you for sharing this beautiful song ...
I'm in a thing called beginnings for school, and you have to try out for it, i made it. This is one of the songs that we are singing. We only have 5 altos 2 base 2 tenors and 5 sopranos in it and we sound really good, But after hearing this i now know how to sound good, you can hear very well brought out diction and the right breathing! The sopranos high parts are so beautiful, the piano playing was beautiful too!
My choir is singing this on October 5th at our Fall Concert! I’m so excited to sing this, I’m an Alto 1 this year! I was a Soprano 1 last year and I never completely understood how beautiful the Alto part was until I became one :)
I'm singing this song at an All-Regional Competition on 10|23|2010.(: I love this song. The piece is amazing.'
This is truly an amazing sound from a high school ensemble. Very expressive. I felt it with the singers. Bravo.

If our lives cause the earth's destruction, or to die. Mother earth's voice would probably pre tell us all something like this for us not to stand or expect to be within the void of space where she once cradled us for life. Mother earth is not within the grave within the heavens, she is within the flows of the rest of the planet's and stars being. Within their airs, flowers, and trees. Do not stand at her grave of empty presence, and weep, she will not be there, but she did not die. She lives as sustenance for the rest of her sisters, brothers, mothers, and fathers as earthen souls as planet's own children but now as not her own. Yes, her babes may cry out for her but she will no longer be there to listen close, from whence they once beckoned within. She now listens within her children that survived.
May I ask what edition they have of this? I want it lol
This makes my heart beat! So inspiring! Could you send me the file? :]
and... there's something about harvest insted of "the sunlight on ripened grain" i think, isn't it.
@aJollszProduction That's so weird! I had to sing that at All Region on the same day!
@baggie211 Sorry, I meant a copy of the recording. I already have the sheet music.
Beautiful and perfect. This is a high school? Very nice. I am a middle school choir director and I'm going to do the SSA arrangement with them this coming year. Can you email me a copy?
