Greatest of all American songs imo
That violin gets me every time. You can feel the emotion in it.
I really like how the kentucky accent comes through, droppin' the g and givin' that ah sound to the y. Very fine.
Yes, there's something about "born to dah..." that really touches your heart.
This is the best version of this that I've ever heard. So moving. Thank you for sharing.
I love how they sing directly in correlation to the notes. A bit unhinged at the end as if they all didn't know when to fade out, but still amazing.
Is there some way to sing that doesn't involve "singing directly in correlation to the notes"? I thought that was the point of notes.
Or are you referring to "Singing the notes", where they sing "fa so la", etc? That's traditional in Shape Note singing. It wouldn't be the same without it. That's at least half the reason we still use the old system (the other is that if just works really well, a lot easier for beginners).
@@justforever96 I was referring to singing directly without a bunch of "extra" attached to it if you know what I mean. If you hear other choir renditions the music is lost in attempts to make it "modern according to todays standards".
@@justforever96 i think he meant they didnt do any unnecessary embellishment
Are they singing solfege under? Lol that’s really cool
Cool, never wondered what Idumea would sound like with only males, but I'm glad I heard it. Not sure it's an improvement (it's those shrill altos and trebles that give you the goosebumps after all), but it's good.
Well, Iduema asks a good question where men go after death. But apparently "All Dogs Go to Heaven". Never better to be in a Dog eat Dog world then.
Awesome much?
