It gets me every time. We learned this piece in one day and had it memorized by that night for the performance.We worked hard to get those key changes down!
I did this song for my chorus concert and in my opinion, I didn’t like cutting the “wading through muddy waters” part short. I feel like it deserves to be long and to let the first harmonies of the song ring through the audience’s ears.
Was a bit disappointed...sounded a bit flat. Don't get me wrong it was still good! But with an choir THAT size...I was expecting the rafters to be raised! Good job still though!
I’m not going to say they did bad because they didn’t. It’s just sad to know nobody’s ancestors in the choir fought for salvation then they changed the song up a lot.
Why didn't they just sing the entire song in the correct key... she sang the first 2 lines an octave higher and then switched to the correct key... what was the purpose of that? You would get more of a dramatic effect with the contrasting keys... that was a dumb idea!!!
Y’all couldn’t find two black soloists instead? Y’all really gave a descendant of a slave master the solo to a song about slavery? Whoever thought that was a good idea deserves to go to HELL.
@@abidabichan the song is about BLACK SLAVES finding freedom in the USA. I don’t need to know what her background is. She’s not black. She shouldn’t be singing. Now get tf out of my mentions yeast yettie.
Seriously, that's the worst rendition I've ever heard of this great song. It's hard to believe that's a college or high school chorus....That standing ovation was laughable. Sorry. Just terrible.
@@Incogn3gr0e thats a complete whole different generation. You blame the people who were responsible from that generation. Not the entire race, generation’s to generations. Thats just plain hate and racism. Being racist to a black=Being racist to a white person is not different
I think it isn't as good because they chose to take it so high. The subject matter is somber/dark that calls for a low tone. I don't know if they are lacking males to give it that base. The contrast of the high lead singer to the deep base of the choir etc is what makes the song sound so gripping imo. But they're kids so who really cares?
@@joshuaraj3572 finding it insensitive is not the same as blaming them for slavery. What is wrong with you? If your grandfather raped my grandmother and killed my father, I know that's not you and not your fault. But if you go around singing songs written about my grandmother, knowing your grandfather got away with it, you're still a jerk. It doesn't mean you did it. It does make you a jerk. There are ways to do it without being a jerk, but that takes more planning than "nice sounding song. Lets do it. if we put a black girl on first we should be good". Current Americans are all responsible for our past and future legacy, which includes good and bad things. That's all Americans. Just like if you get grandpa's inheritance you also get grandpa's debts, if you want to live with America's blessings, you must live with America's sins. But the fact remains, nearly all the people actively standing in the way of basic changes to end the universal systemic racism that is happening today, right now, happen to have some similarities. Any blame going around is for that. Not slavery. Forget slavery, just deal with the wrongs happening today.
“As the stars fill up the sky.” Truly sent chills, such good work. It was so beautiful to listen to.

@@dolorescheatom1663 how?????
Why the mask while singing tho?
This was while COVID was still sweeping through TN, especially Nashville. Just a safety thing😊
Was a bit disappointed...sounded a bit flat. Don't get me wrong it was still good! But with an choir THAT size...I was expecting the rafters to be raised! Good job still though!
It was flat
Nahhh . This was funny
Deveriam cantar sem essas máscaras na cara que não se canta com isso não isso estraga a música.

And would you know that? Maybe the white ones didn’t but the black ones sure did!
@@PamRam228 yeah maybe
It was dry, no seasoning.
KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KOE SO BRANCO KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

lol what if the girl was like of hispanic or swedish descent? you have know idea who that girl is 😂

@@BT5PavedTheWay lmao you’re the one that labeled her a “descendant of a slave master” so stop trying to make yourself sound any better💀😂
@@abidabichan who said I was trying to be better? I live to be a menace to you yeast yettie demons.
damn did you know that being white doesnt mean youre a descendant of a slave master
Seriously, that's the worst rendition I've ever heard of this great song. It's hard to believe that's a college or high school chorus....That standing ovation was laughable. Sorry. Just terrible.
It’s the worst bc why are WHITE people singing a song that’s about enslaved Africans escaping off the plantation! This pissed me off.
