Sing, Be, Live, See This dark stormy hour The wind, it stirs The scorched Earth cries out in vain Oh war and power, you blind and blur The torn heart cries out in pain But music and singing have been my refuge And music and singing shall be my light A light of song, shining strong Hallelujah, Hallelujah Through darkness and pain and strife I'll sing, I'll be, live, see Peace
When my choir sang this song in high school, we were all so excited to perform it at our concert (because it's one of the most amazing songs we had ever done). But toward the beginning of the performance, our conductor's pants fell down and the audience laughed through the rest of the piece, and none of them remember the actual song at all. :(
I’m pretty sure it was amazing. Not the conductors pants, the song. I sang the same song at a school concert. I was in the soprano section (highest part) and I was bullied for it because apparently I was the lowest natural-voiced girl :-( but I still magaged to prove all them wrong when I did my solo performance... anyways, I wish I saw it. Love this song
absolutely lovely sopranos. usually in this song the sopranos ALWAYS overpower (bc sopranos are sopranos, we all know this) but YOU GUYS. wow. just gorgeous. your balance is fantastic.
I got to sing this my senior year. It is a truly unforgettable piece of music. My choir sang it with such mastery and grace that at our last performance of this song my director cried and we all did too. This song stands for all the things that music is.
omg this song. At the senior year of my high school years my varsity choir class sang all of our favorite songs during the year. This was also the last year my teacher was going to me teaching (so that he could pursue his doctorate), so right before we sang this song he said: "class, follow me" and took us to the stairway of our school. We all sang our hearts out, the stairway resonating our voices, and some tears shed. Right after the song we chanted our choir chant one last time. "Who's house? SMALL'S HOUSE!!" (Darren Smalls, if you somehow come across this, I thank you for being such a great teacher) ~Justin O.
For any moon valley kid in Phoenix, this was the most beautiful song and one of our last songs before quarantine. My favorite song to sing. This holds so many memories
this is one of the last “powerful” pieces my choir director did before she passed a 13 year battle with lung cancer when we did all state with other kids and a different director no one could understand why we were all in tears, she was so sick and lost that battle only 5 years later RIP “mom” 💜
we’re doing this this year in choir, it really hits different during corona. it’s unfortunate we can’t all sing together, but i think the message is made that more powerful due to the circumstances
My high school music program is having our choir and our Symphonic Wind Symphony (the highest level of band) play this together and it is one of my favorite pieces ever.
So i have a... complicated relation with this song. I absolutely long it, but in a choir once, we were going to sing it. We had SATB, so easy... we sing this SATB version, but nope. They changed it to a SSAA song and had us sing in falsetto. I have vivid memories of just having days where i couldn't sing it at all, including the concert. Still love the song, but it brings back those memories...
Hi can I repost this on instagram? I'll download it then post the video with the credits from you and the songwriter (which I believe is on the song title's itself). The title and the choir and the calm tune themeselves reminds me of what happen todays about Corona. Maybe it will help. Tell me if you would like to decline my answer on reply. With best regard, the song is serene and peace, giving a tranquil hearts to ones worriness.
If there's a choir that knows how to sing Pianissimo, it's this one! Very sensitively performed. A beautiful performance.
Completely agreed, CENTRAL ISLIP CONCERT CHOIR...!
My choir recently did a competition to this song check us out on Facebook restoration academy concert choir we did it in st.louis Missouri
Sing, Be, Live, See
This dark stormy hour
The wind, it stirs
The scorched Earth cries out in vain
Oh war and power, you blind and blur
The torn heart cries out in pain
But music and singing have been my refuge
And music and singing shall be my light
A light of song, shining strong
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Through darkness and pain and strife
I'll sing, I'll be, live, see
Peace
I'm doing this for kickoff before school
When we rehearse this in choir, it sends me chills

Dang that sucks

That sucks cause this is a ridiculously beautiful song and it should be remembered.

Also if any other TV south choir people see this I love you and miss you
Super happy to have been apart of this choir, brings back amazing memories.
When my choir sings this, they're not going to sound anything like this.
So proud that I got to be apart of this performance and group! Love and miss every single one of you💙

Any update right now?
I'm soprano and we have to sing this in class. I cried. So beautiful
last year my concert choir class sang this and we still talk about the song to this day. i’m so in love with it.
Omg... I’ve never missed high school till now. #OnceABuffaloAlwaysABuffalo
My choir is doing this right now and it's absolutely beautiful. Brilliant song!
i sang this my junior year and hearing this brings back so much memories 😢 i was an alto
Ugh, same!! Junior year fucking sucked but choir was the only period I loved. Singing this always made my day 100% better.
We never got to perform it but when we sang it in class it was so beautiful.
For any moon valley kid in Phoenix, this was the most beautiful song and one of our last songs before quarantine. My favorite song to sing. This holds so many memories
we had a "resing it" day for senior year. this one had us seniors balling.
choir class today had me a little emotional. This is a beautiful song and I’m excited and proud to sing it. it’s beautiful.
I remember singing this my freshman year of hs for state audition, it's been 3-4 years and I still love this song and the other songs I sung with it 💕
I love the song
this is one of the last “powerful” pieces my choir director did before she passed a 13 year battle with lung cancer when we did all state with other kids and a different director no one could understand why we were all in tears, she was so sick and lost that battle only 5 years later RIP “mom” 💜
sadly never had the chance to sing this beautiful piece because a tornado hit the same night as my concert :(
Abby Lambert omg I’m so sorry! I’m glad your ok tho xxx
That’s really unfortunate but it’s a little funny considering what this song was originally about
we’re doing this this year in choir, it really hits different during corona. it’s unfortunate we can’t all sing together, but i think the message is made that more powerful due to the circumstances
2:40 is my favorite part! I love this and we are auditioning for higher choirs with this song and everything about it is great
2:58 to 3:19 is mine. The chord change at 3:17 is freaky
My high school music program is having our choir and our Symphonic Wind Symphony (the highest level of band) play this together and it is one of my favorite pieces ever.
Corona virus really hit us hard didn’t it. We were gonna sing this piece to but guess that’s not happening.

I loved this song when I sang it for a choir concert
Some members of my choir cry when they sing this.
We are working on this song for chamber choir tryouts for next year already Falling in love with it
