hard to believe it has been 65 years since I was attending Concordia and first heard the choir at Concordia under Paul J. Their quality is still perfection...
The tone of the choir was consistently good in all sections, there was real warmth in the singing and a real togetherness . The balance was excellent. A job well done.
Magnificent; beautiful; moving; heartfelt . . . oh how I love this choir, this leader, these wonderful musicians . . .
I really like the old hymn "Tenting on The Old Campground". It has so much spiritual meaning in it for today... Soon we will be done "tenting" and fighting and go Home with our Lord forever. I wish the volume was a bit louder though.
Exquisite. So moving.
I miss this so much!
Amen.
I so love the Concordia Choir and Rene Clausen. What a wonderful performance! Reminds me of college in Alfred Skoog's choral program. Thanks for such a wonderful gift, choir and Dr. Clausen.
Got to hear the choir 3/5/13 in Plano, TX. Flawless!
Definitely my favorite set of their tour! So beautiful and heartwarming :) Proud to be a cobber!
I really enjoyed this performance. Great job!
Amazing work
"Tenting on the Old Campground" is a favorite. I had a difficult time hearing the words though, they are too faint.... Otherwise, a very nice performance.
Revelation 6
1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see.
2 And I saw and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
3 And when he had opened the second seal,
I heard the second beast say, Come and see.
4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.
5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo, a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.
6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny, and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.
7 And when he had opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth beast say, Come and see.
8 And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.
9 And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:
10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, Holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellow servants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.
12 And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo there was a great earthquake; the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
13 And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken from a mighty wind.
14 And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
16 And said unto the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:
17 For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
