Okay, I sang this back in high school choir and had completely forgotten its existence. Then it comes up on this playlist. And suddenly I remember EVERY SINGLE DANG LINE/HARMONY/CUTOFF. Human brain = weirdness
I LOVE that you love specific parts. All of it is wonderful..but certain parts give me shivers. That very last note that slides into major just does me in.
I sang this piece in Paris in 1980 with the University Chorale of Boston College at Les Invalides. When we hit that final chord, the Parisians went absolutely apeshit and would not stop shouting and clapping until we sang the entire piece all over again. It's so simple, yet so powerful -- this group in this video does an OUTSTANDING job with it!
It's my last year. My mixed chorus just sang this last week for the final performance. I did the Alto part as well. I think this was the only song I enjoyed doing. Don't want it to be over lol
I sang this 21yrs ago with my vocal class in a choir competition and still remember all the words and soprano part to this very day. It's a song that definitely stays with you. lol
I hope that everyone who sings this spiritual does so with the voice of those who originally sang it, remembering the reasons. Not just to use this song for the glory of their own talent and vocalbeauty. It would be easy to do so, but we must remember whose voices this was for. ✝️ ❤ 🙏
That. Was. Amazing. We are singing this in my high school's concert choir and this is the most beautiful rendition. It's very well done rhythmically and the dynamics are beautifully executed. Thank you for your time in singing this piece. Absolutely gorgeous.
I sang this piece 20 years ago as a freshman in my HS choral ensemble. It's 2019 and I haven't heard or sang it since back then and I still remember the entire bass part. I dont know why i looked it up. I was just thinking about it and i figured id give it a shot and just look it up. It is One of the greatest, most emotional pieces of choral music to sing as a large group choir. Its a roller coaster of emotional, passionate ups and downs....And that harmony at the end, tho!!! In a large choir it feels like you are literally in a tunnel of sound, I'll never forget it. I'm in tears singing it with the video.
I heard a men's Glee club sing this back in the 60's. One of my little brothers just lost his wife today, so I searched for this song. Thank you to all the members of this choir, the conductor and instrumentalists. You all did a fantastic job! The passion with which this was sung brought many tears to my eyes, as was meet.
I randomly remembered this awhile trying to sleep at 10:30 at night and got out of bed and sorted through all of my old playlists to find this absolute masterpiece. This is the only version I’ll listen to 🔥🔥🔥
First piece I ever sang with a really good choir. State sectional choir as a high school sophomore. I remember, at the first practice, hearing that final note and looking in awe at my buddy next to me. We couldn't believe such a sound was possible. Wonderful performance here, thanks.
This performance gave me goosebumps!!!! That rarely happens!!!? From the scores of MPA I'm going to give this a superior!!! Congrats my fellow choir members
The tenor section is strong,Very Distinguishable. I love the Strong ending on this song. Our high school varsity choir is doing this, and I gotta say this is one of my favorite Varsity songs we've done so far... Joshua High School if you were wondering, our director is Mr. Stephen Johnson, an all around great teacher.
That last note made my hairs stand on end. Makes me miss our high school's old choir. They were half the size of this one, but equal in comparison in how brilliant they were. Unfortunately, we have even gotten smaller, but we pull through. JOIN CHOIR! It's worth it.
I dedicate this to Mrs Lilly Kay Placek Grehan, may you sing beautiful songs/hymns in heaven. I will love and think of you always. I remember when you were choir director and this hymn is forever in my soul. Thank you so very much for teaching me the love of our lords words. You are now forever free of pain and have long lasting peace. You are now with GOD.
I didn’t even sing this song, the other choir in my high school did. And it was phenomenal then. Such a beautiful song. And beautifully performed. Makes me cry every time. Such meaning and love and energy in this song.
You guys have such amazing tenors..and love the song. I listened to this song for aver four years and the last chord still gives me goosebumps. Great job!
used to sing it faster but darker back in the old days. but come to think of it. it is a song of hope!!! imagine meeting God and your loved ones in heaven! it's joy unspeakable! faster, slower, darker, brighter...if someone gets touched, it has served its purpose :) cheers.
This is amazing! I absolutely loved this performance. Everyone did an awesome job. Especially the young men. I sung this piece in choir back in high school. Spirituals were our choir's specialty. You all definitely captured the point of this song. Awesome job!
I'm getting goosebumps everywhere!!!! I just love this piece!!! I'm recommending this piece to my choir director and seeing if my choir can sing this on our choir tour:D
I remember singing tenor in this song with my choir a year ago. It felt so amazing to bring this beautiful piece to life and I always wish I can have the chance to sing it again. Though this group does a much slower tempo than what I'm used to hearing, they really do the song justice. I still got a lot of goosebumps and my eyes are actually now irritated from all the tears it caused me to shed. Very well done!
We're singing this in my school choir for an upcoming festival, and though it is hard as heck to sing, it is a beautiful piece! Thank you for posting such a wonderful rendition of this song!
Sang this with family members and friends as the premiere performance of the East Bay Chorus of RI back in the 70s...our performance hall was the first church built in Rhode Island, still being used today...and it is still one of my favorite spirituals to remember and enjoy. This is such a brilliant rendition...touching, strong, convincing! Our Choir director emeritus...Chuck Mello...would be all tingles over the execution!!
This is bringing back memories from high school choir... at a PUBLIC school too (it was in 1997). We sang this song, and at about the same tempo too. We sang several other spirituals as well, including "Ain't Got Time To Die". You guys did a great job singing, and thank you for sharing it on youtube! God bless you guys!
My choir is learning this for contest and I’m so fricking excited. We played this recording and class and every single person’s jaw just dropped. We’re all so pumped
I went to my church camp for music week, and we learned this song, and our director had us watch this video so we would know how its suppose to go, I love this song
Actually, I really do like this interpretation of this piece. This tempo is perfect. Most choirs tend to speed it up and then have issues with trying to shove dynamics into it. Beautiful bass section.
As a choir director, I am perplexed at all the negative comments regarding this presentation. This is their interpretation. It's art. As longs as the notes, dynamics, intonation etc. are correct it's all good. Some of you people are in too deep.
I cant say how amazing this performance is. My choir did this song and I think you guys pretty much owned every part of this song. Post more songs like this
Okay, Most of you here sang or going to sing this in choir give a like if you are one of us choir students
No, I'm a German SCHÜLER
Currently singing it 👍
we are playing this in orchestra 😊
we're "learning" it right now; but we were handed it in november and i already have it memorized.
This is probably one of the most perfect runs of this song that I've ever heard. That was STELLAR
+acensionSUCKS u should hear Acappella and then talk about STELLAR.
Definitely agree!
Too slow!
Yes it's perfect.
i heard one of my colleges best choirs sing it and i cried and everyone was like
WHATS WRONG
From Kenya,We sang this song in the Music Festivals 2018,and we were position 3 in the whole country,man Still remember my Bass role
Okay, I sang this back in high school choir and had completely forgotten its existence. Then it comes up on this playlist. And suddenly I remember EVERY SINGLE DANG LINE/HARMONY/CUTOFF. Human brain = weirdness
Yep, that happens to me too!

I did not. I did see the middle school choir perform this while I was performing for the elementary choir. This was in 2004 at the Kennedy Center!
Me
Because it’s a great!
My Favorite part of this song is when the bass says "no more weeping" and the ending part going to the second time around ❤ .. just beautiful
I LOVE that you love specific parts. All of it is wonderful..but certain parts give me shivers. That very last note that slides into major just does me in.
Okay, I mean I like the whole song I just love them parts sooooo yea😁😁

Who are they? What school?
I am a tenor voice and learnt this song today. That last chord is just magical... Its so poweful
I sang this in high school and I've been singing it so much lately! Even after 4 years I still know the alto part
this year for me UIL :D very hard
So did I. Sends chills doesn't it. I wanted to see if the Swedish Radio Choir ever did this but these people are pretty good.
Megan Boulden the whole time I was singing the alto part along with it. I sang this in high school as well
It's my last year. My mixed chorus just sang this last week for the final performance. I did the Alto part as well. I think this was the only song I enjoyed doing. Don't want it to be over lol

This was posted 14 years ago…14 years later you have me as a freshman to sing this piece with this chorale this spring 😊
same here
I sang this song like there was no tomorrow in 1990, at PLES. Brings back good memories.
I randomly remembered this awhile trying to sleep at 10:30 at night and got out of bed and sorted through all of my old playlists to find this absolute masterpiece. This is the only version I’ll listen to 🔥🔥🔥
Amen!! It takes complete faith in the existence of a light bandwidth that we cannot see at this time as mere mortals.
I'm high school students in japan and I am impressed by this song!!!
I will sing this song in course festival !!
First piece I ever sang with a really good choir. State sectional choir as a high school sophomore. I remember, at the first practice, hearing that final note and looking in awe at my buddy next to me. We couldn't believe such a sound was possible. Wonderful performance here, thanks.
Highly agree 💯 a masterpiece 👏

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. I love that the voice parts are physically staggered over the risers.
Love the dramatic changes in dynamics. Very well performed!!!
Stunning. simply stunning.
This is bringing back memories from high school choir... at a PUBLIC school too (it was in 1997). We sang this song, and at about the same tempo too. We sang several other spirituals as well, including "Ain't Got Time To Die".

Sang this in both high school and college .... one of my all time favorite choir pieces!
i love this song! our school choir did this song last year. its so awesome!
Excellent. I agree that the tenors are wonderfully strong and clear.
The sound and video quality here are simply superb! Would that all CZcams videos met this standard. A truly amazing performance!
So beautifully on pitch. The dynamics gave me the chills! My high school is doing this now... this is just an inspiration.
I love this song. Everytime I hear it I always smile. I can't wait to do this for a song in the 8th grade MMS choir.
Wonderful choir! And nice recording too- you can't capture that sound without a great recording setup! Fantastic singing and direction!
i had to sing this song for TMEA all region choir last year and it was one of my favorite pieces i’ve ever sang. such a good song 😍
FINALLY! An interpretation that I consider correct. Correct tempo, correct great dynamics. Thank you! Great work Director and Choir!
I went to my church camp for music week, and we learned this song, and our director had us watch this video so we would know how its suppose to go, I love this song
I am in love with this song. I’m singing this at school in choir rn and we sound bomb asf
Comin' from a metal song, I heard THIS... very inspiring, thank you very much!
beautiful!!
and wonderful!!
Beautiful - The setting is Camelback Bible Church, Paradise Valley, AZ - one of the greatest acoustics for singing in the country.
Thank you- I wondered where. Who are they?
Just great. Love it
Man, I'm sorry I haven't heard of these guys sooner. So incredibly good.
Beautiful rendition I miss the choir in MVC we sang this before.
Absolutely amazing.
My choir is singing this for district contest! I've been rendered speechless by this though, so my director is gonna have to find another soprano lol
Oh man, do I love this song!!! Especially the ending. I got goosebumps.:-)
The chorus majors in my hs sang this recently and boy you have to hear it in real life to have the full experience. It was beautiful. Great video
XCELENT. Breathtaking! Thk u for the video.
Actually, I really do like this interpretation of this piece. This tempo is perfect. Most choirs tend to speed it up and then have issues with trying to shove dynamics into it. Beautiful bass section.
Wow..I remember we sang it back in highskul for music festivals..was just wow.
Led by our choir teacher Mr. Evans Mbinji
As a choir director, I am perplexed at all the negative comments regarding this presentation. This is their interpretation. It's art. As longs as the notes, dynamics, intonation etc. are correct it's all good. Some of you people are in too deep.
We did this song last year in choir and here I am still listening.
Absolutely love this song
beautiful sound! very clear!
You deserve all the praise you have received. My goodness 29 pages 167.000 listens.
Proud of you.

YES!! The choir gets more animated and expressive right then, and it adds soooo much to the song. Amazing what facial expression can do!
Magnificent interpretation !!!

This brings back so many memories of the old Nashville Youth Chorus when Edwina Epps directed this song.
this sounds alot better than the one i just listened to... GREAT JOB!!!!!! we sang this song at the fall concert in 2008. its a beautiful song!!!
I sang this in my high school choir and gosh it brings back some good memories☺️
Excellent tempo to start off with...A little more soul (feeling) to CAPTURE the trueness of the piece. BEAUTIFUL sound and excellent Harmony
