I've sung this with an orchestra and chorus one time some years ago. But this rendition of it is simply stunning! Everything about it just rivets your attention and takes you on a journey through the entire song. The visuals were amazing! The directing was beautiful, the choir was a unified whole with incredible expressiveness, and the orchestra and soloists were perfection. Then there's the venue and lighting...! Wow! Just an amazing multi-sensory experience!
We did this concert over 50 years ago when I was in the choir at St. George's Episcopal Church in NYC. It was beautiful and I never forgot it. Charles Henderson was the music director at the time.
Truly wonderful. Glorious music; brilliant singing, by soloists and choir; stunning visuals: beautiful words. An emotional journey from darkness to the light of hope for a better world. Than you for posting this musical treasure.
I have watched this production several times and have always been touched by its beauty. But tonight, February 26 2022, I am watching this with tears in my eyes because of the current events in Ukraine and the dastardly invasion by Russian troops. Women fleeing to safety with their children while fathers and sons (and many women) stay behind to defend their beloved country. I can only imagine how many times the dirge for two veterans will be played out over the coming days. The poignant text by Walt Whitman is so there with what is happening today. May God truly grant the people of Ukraine peace.
I love the cadences in this music. It makes the piece come alive with excitement. Sorry so many of the people had to wear masks. I would like to see the interior of this church, but it doesnt seem to have a website.
outstanding and moving performance. If only this great work could be performed wherever there is conflict and inspire reflection and peace.

This was so beautifully done, I can almost imagine what was going through Vaughan Williams’ mind (and memories) as he composed this.
Outstanding and moving performance!!

Great stuff
Magnifico
Lindo demais!
How did the choir produce such a sound wearing masks
No me parece de recibo el vestido de la directora. Ni es una novia,ni un baile de gala
