I had the pleasure of doing overtones on this song. I was "the man" in choir for the next four years of high school just because I could overtone. It sounds so awesome!
I got to do overtones with Portland State's University Choir on this piece, it was a blast :D Your performance is much better than ours, really nice work :)
i must thank this song, for it taught me the true meaning of choral music, of singing. togetherness. my attitude prior to my performance of this song was that of standing out. i wanted to feel special when i sang, i wanted the song to be mine. now i know that it is not my song, nor is it the composer’s song, it is the audience’s. matching those vowels perfectly to create the overtones that most people don’t even acknowledge. singing the same note throughout an entire piece as a bass so the sopranos can soar. giving the listener an experience. that is music. thank you sarah hopkins.
We performed this in high school I still remember getting chills as we performed it on stage... it was so much fun to perform and still love listening to it!
I heard the Sonoran Desert Chorale perform this live recently, and I was amazed at how supernatural this piece is. Hopefully I will get to sing this sometime.
Very haunting and a fantastic inspiration for me when I wrote my book (chapters: the end of "Anomaly" and the beginning of "Nikki's Dream"). If my book ever becomes a movie then I would want this used for the appropriate scene.
Excellent lead overtoner on this - who is it? First time I heard Sarah she was overtoning along with cello - gorgeous! Check out some of my overtone songs (solo voice with guitar)
I still like the performance by Chanticleer best, but this is the next highest I've heard in quality and pacing. Other renditions I've heard sound like a high school glee club with too fast of a pace and a lack of smoothness. Nice job.

Bravo. Bravo. My god. I've never heard such a pure sound in all my life.

Hi, what is overtone?
Thank-you!

Sang this in high school and listened to MANY recordings since then, but these are the best overtones I've ever heard in this piece

Overtones were fantastic.... You have made my favorite list...

Absolutely stunning! Very nice overtones, nothing stood out; it was very smooth and blended. Very soothing. Well done!
This is wonderful
Instant favorite after I heard the Sygyt overtones at 4:00. Much love.
i sang this in choir years ago did the overtones and i can never stop listening to this song
Heard this for the first time in 'Boychoir', very moving if sentimental movie but transfixed by this amazing haunting sound
This is angel music
This is AMAZING. I remember singing it in the 1998 Nebraska All-State Choir. Phenomenal!
I'm singing this with my choir at the end of summer and I so excited! Hopefully I'll be doing the overtones (:
I want to do this again! It was so fun!
OMG so excited to start signing this piece.

What's your writer name
Edwin Teal.
Boychoir the movie brought me here :)
one of my favorite pieces
Heard the Biola University Choir do this yesterday at a choir festival. It was amazing live!
Heard a girls choir perform this is a high school competition, it blew me away, if you ever get the chance go hear this live.
This takes me back! Loved doing this piece.
We did this for the Opening Ceremony of the Pacific School Games back in 2000 here in Sydney.
Boychoir - the movie brought me here too😃
This is wonderful. My choir teacher showed us this and I had to look it up.
Amazing!:)
this sounds like the Halo theme a little to me, still amazing tho
The first part of the song sounds like the opening credits to a movie about a cursed artifact in a 30 million year old ancient Egyptian temple
nair nair nair nadula nair =3
Love it, sounds so cool. Lots of nair's :-)
We sang this in chorus this year but we didn’t sound half as amazing

Only bad thing about being the singer, you cant always do the best or your favorite part. But the end effect is stunning

Am I in Heaven?
@iheartTAPS thx! =D
I'm so confused but I love it
damn.
Almost reminds me of that song from hunterxhunter
Dirge from Dark Side, right?
this is an ancient arabian music right?
Australian aboriginal, from what I remember of the description from by chorus teacher.
