    I was a part of this choir. I have still not been able to even process this experience to South Africa. It was beyond mind blowing. Is is one that I will cherish forever and will never forget.

      Robert T Gibson Music I sang this with my college choir two years ago and it has been a song that I cherish to this day. Even as I’m listening to you guys sing it in South Africa, I’m literally getting goosebumps of the passion, the emotion and the meaning you are portraying as you sing. God bless and peace be with you, my friend ✌🏻🙏🏻❤️

      @Robert T Gibson Music great to find some connections here. I performed your version of "Amazing Grace" earlier this year at TMEA All-State Choir (tenor-bass). And now I find u here singing one of my favorite choral songs I have discovered. 👏👏👏

    A pure, raw naked representation of the emotional sorrow and despair a father feels at losing a son. Whether one is religious or not, this piece does not draw at the heartstrings; it shatters them. Such a beautiful, performance. Thank you.

    Stunning. Stunning. You got it all just right -- enough power, the crystal high soprano. All of it. Right up there with Stellenbosch and Tuks Camerata. And you sang it with obvious love and respect for its African roots. That is a critical part of performing this miraculously beautiful piece of music. But, you have to tell us how it felt to sing the most beautiful piece of choral music ever written.
