I downloaded this version off of iTunes. It's the absolute best version I have ever heard. I sang it a few years ago in an all girls choir, but I really like the depth of sound that the males contribute.
Stephanie Nolan. This version is nice, but I don't think it's actually being conducted by Stephen Hatfield and nothing compares to versions conducted by him. The energy he brings to the stage is contagious and this song just really comes alive. When I was in high school, he was the guest conductor one year for the All Catholic High Schools Choral Festival in Seattle at Benaroya Hall (which has the most amazing accoustics). It was an experience I will never forget. Anyways, this recording has nice sound, but the super high energy is missing.
@@sunnyrainbowLTA @Jessica Anderson Hi, Jessica! I was actually singing this song while it was recorded live. Stephen Hatfield was conducting us at the time. It's too bad you don't feel the energy while you listen. The stage and audience was electric when we sang it. I still feel it listening now. It's a very happy memory :)
