same here, and im pissed about it :)))) this song is almost entirely solo and leaves the rest of the choir singing "doo" most of the time. it doesnt help at all that its a musical piece, and a recent one at that (meaning that we will be heavily compared to the original), and was written to be heard and performed as a solo with instrumentation, not an a cappella group. might work for a tiny show choir, but definitely not a choir of hundreds of high schoolers. (also rest of the repertoire is garbage too, arrangers went into way too much detail trying to shoehorn in grace notes, unnatural rhythms, aimless melodies, and much more. theres even a gregorian chant part out of nowhere so we can sound like a cult in the middle of our concert :)))) no clue what the clinician was thinking but i already dont like her; just needed to vent lol)
Robotic Phsycotic I think you’re in the same choir as me lol. I feel the same exact way about everything you said!!!! The song and the repertoire is terrible. Makes me not want to be in the choir anymore. It’s all too simple for such a prestigious choir.

I get to sing this beauty for All State choir this year! So excited!
We re doing this for my senior women’s choir 👍🏽

Beautiful song. Although, I couldn't hear the beautiful harmony within. Mostly just heard sopranos overpowering everyone else.
