♫♫ This song has a powerful meaning behind it and fit this point in time as well. On December 14, 2012 a tragedy shook our nation as a gunman raided an elementary school in CT and killed 20 children and 7 adults. Why would someone do this you ask? We may never know, but God is in control and He knows all things. Our hearts and prayers go out to these familes for their lost. Please share this video that it may touch their hearts and bring you comfort....thank you ♫♫
Thanks for watching and see you all in the next one!
Everyone saying his range is fake your wrong. I'm part of a mixed vocal choir and there are two men in my choir that have a bigger vocal range than I do and I am a serprano. They are wider because they can sing base and it is beautiful. Its not fake its talent you guys. Haters will see someone walk on water and say its because they can't swim. Quit being haters. This guy is talented.
let's be honest here it's a great version of the song but he's not actually dropping the low note like that I've watched him sing with Max Q he can hit low notes but he's not dropping the bomb on these notes like that I don't care what anyone says.
btw it's Soprano and Bass if you're going to talk about choir at least know how to spell the names of each section
you guys aren't getting the point. it doesn't matter if he computerized any of it. it's that it sounds amazing and beautiful and the parts together sound great and that it for a memorial of our beloved children
He's the real deal! I saw him in concert last night. Simply AMAZING voice!
As a classically trained singer, do not disrespect the art of being able to do good mixing. What is a travesty is when we see masterful mixing and producing and that person receives no credit. What is also a travesty is when the mixing supercedes the musicality of the song in an inappropriate context. This is a good example of that.
I'd never heard this song up until a few days ago and was so moved to listened to many versions and to research its author. In the words, I hear what might be spoken by any child, in any land, of any faith that is subject to the reasons this song was written. My first thought was of a Palestinian child...
As a Christian, I know Jesus doesn't discriminate cries for help---not by anyone and especially not by any child.
I love that sforzando at the "silence in their shattered world" part. Amazing
I come back to this when I'm down. Oddly, it lightens me. Wholly.
For everyone saying that this is fake, please watch the third slide as he sings. He shows you his bass drop in his expressions. As a soprano in choir I can tell exactly which slide is hitting what note. It's not fake, get your act straight and maybe listen to the song and hear the meaning before you judge. Amen
As a bass, there ain't no way in hell a person can hit that note with that amount of clarity and lightness it's simply not possible. I'm not saying it's not possible to have an expansive range, but the quality of the sound is not realistic.
@@lionsmaine1238 lmao same, I'm a bass and people can hit that note but you can hear the roboty sound in the voice lmao, plus I've sang this song I know what its supposed to sound like, but shes a soprano so she knows the bass voice.
I am discovering Rhett 9 yrs after this went on UA-cam. Rare for such a low bass and wide range with this endearing vocal tone in someone this young(?). Glad I stumbled upon it and I subscribed.
Oh god... I sang this song in high school and my teacher recommended this video to help us understand what the four part harmony was supposes to sound like. I saved it to my watch later, and YEARS later, I found it again. Both the message behind the song, the message the singer wanted to convey, and the nostalgia... I DIDN'T NEED TO CRY TODAY, I PROMISE.
Dude. Your bass voice makes me jealous. Regardless, very beautiful and well done.

I came to this video because I was thinking about doing a multitrack of it. And I must say your bass is just...wow. Amazing man.
Outstanding! I like the slower pace of this piece. This young man clearly put his heart and soul into every note. God bless
you.
Sang this in SC All State Choir in 2005 as a Bass 2, but three years prior I sang the Tenor 1 before my voice changed. This is my favorite song to sing as a Bass 2 as I really get to show off my low range.
I scored a 231 out of 235 that year in All State auditions which was good for #1 in the entire state and #1 in Bass. Second place was a girl who sang Soprano 1 from my Honors Chorale at Seneca High School under Mrs. Reichenbach.
I am going to join a local choir I haven't sang in a choir since I was a senior in high school in 2006. I'm going to sing this song.
yes I did drop the bass here and there, just because it sounded good and I heard it that way in a couple recordings
The warmness of his voice gives me chills every time. If you don't get chills from listening to this piece then you're doing something wrong
I'm a former member of the Vocal Majority (13 times world champion men's chorus in the barbershop society) so I feel honored to say that this is the finest vocal blend I've ever heard in a multitrack. Keep up the EXCELLENT work!!!
I remember singing this song in High school. I loved it then and when I hear it now coming from a beautiful voice such as yours, it makes me smile with a tear in my eye.
Apparently a bunch of people that watched this video has never heard of vibrato... it's not computerized or auto tuned at all. The richness in all ranges of his voice provide the vibrating and buzz you hear. If you are into the music industry or you know anything about singing, then just listen to each part. Tenor 1, Tenor 2, Baritone, and Bass 2. They all sound completely normal, but them being put together is what makes that rich and vibrating sound, that's why it's called a quartet, for four different parts. So quit saying that he faked it or put tunes in. Even if it's not his voice, it's still someone else's, and that doesn't make it computerized.
I know what vibrato is. I use mine a lot in my symphonic choir. But, I also know when I hear Optimus Prime shit a low note.
+SJ Eagle It sounds great though!
+SJ Eagle And I know when I'm addressing one person, or a just people as a whole.
+SJ Eagle Yes it does! And I wasn't talking about you in general, I said some people.
+SJ Eagle But really the important thing is the lyrics and not really as much the actual voice. The song itself has a very powerful and strong meaning.
I play it to help sing my boys to bed, and they told me it makes them think of their brother who died as an infant before they were born. I am happy they think of him often. Thanks
Currently singing this for choir and I love this so much aaaaaaa
I am so glad I found this. Such a beautiful tribute to the innocents who were lost to someone else's hatred.
My sons and I listen to this beautiful song every night before bed. Thank you for singing and recording it. Your awesome!! Austin 6 tomorrow and Jasper 7
I love this song. I sang it in High School (1997). Originally written in context to the Sudanese civil war (if I remember correctly), your rendition is very heart felt and appropriate in context of Sandy Hook. Well done!
Beautiful job, Rhett. And now praying for the children in The Ukraine.
Rhett!! That is sooooo amazing!! And I love that you kept the Serbian line in it!! Outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!
This song is just plain amazing, thank you for sharing your god given gifts. It has really helped me in my spiritual journey.
After seeing the photo of the small syrian boy this song has been on my heart. Absolutely lovely.
We did this song last year in choir. So beautiful and meaningful. Thank you for uploading. Truly one of the best versions I have heard. I really hope you are discovered and make it out there. Something this beautiful should be shared.
My high school's chamber choir did this song this and it was absolutely beautiful! Good job at putting this together! Keep up all the hard work!
we just sang this song for choir and this song has so much power behind it. I love the way you did this. Good job!
We sang this in high school in the early 2000's. This is one of the best renditions I have heard. Great job.
Same here. In my men's choir class as a Freshman in 2003 and again in All State SSAATTBB when I was a junior in 2005. I absolutely love this song and his rendition of When I'm Love as we sang that too in All State.
The emotion of this piece makes it hard to sing, this rendition by one young man with a big heart is beautiful. Let us now remember also the children of Ukraine and all others suffering in a world full of mans' greed and hate.
Rhett, such a toughing & moving tribute, I’m sure many be speechless, when they hear this. Pure love & beauty. Thank You: for the time you took to put this together.
That was lovely, Rhett..as usual. Don't worry about the bass line. It all sounds wonderful and I hope it helps the bereaved families.
Gentleman. Allow me to inform you. This song was actually written For the serbian war that took place some years ago. The composer was a small ensemble director at the time, but in his experiences he noticed the horror and sadness of the children. Having seen some of them shot and even burned. This song is a tribute to those children of the Serbian war. Where the Connecticut is more than fitting for this arrangement. What lies behind is something all its own.
This is beautiful, I sang this is my choir as an SSATB but I also sang the first tenor as a girl hahaha, that was interesting. But anyway, this is very well done. Thank you for sharing.
Whatever any of these crazies are saying about fake/not fake, it really doesn't matter. It's a beautiful work of art. I love Kurt Bestor's compositions, and I also love your artistic interpretation of his work. Period. Well done, my friend, and God bless.
So beautiful; your vocal range is nearly unbelievable. Thank you for the very appropriate choices of Scripture at the beginning!
My goodness this made me cry....Such a beautiful song..well done....thank you for posting....my prayers and thoughts to Newtown CT...
Absolutely astonishing brother! You have lifted my soul today. This brought tears to my eyes and heart. Keep it up man!
Chills! Very nicely done, sir. I like the slower tempo compared to other versions I’ve heard. You’ve also taken creative liberty and made it your own, so I do not join my friends in the comment section calling it “too computery.” This is perfection and very creative.
What a beautiful rendition of such a moving song! I am so impressed with not only your perfect timing, but your outstanding harmonies that seem to flow effortlessly from you. Well done! This is now one of my go-to versions when I want to hear Prayer of the Children. Thanks so much for making this available to us all!
Phenomenal! One of the best performances of this piece I have ever heard. Bravo!
Anyone who complains about the "auto tune" sound of this rendition seriously needs to hear the original track. It's pretty accurate to the original. This song sounded auto-tune-ish before auto tune was even a "thing". That doesn't take away from the powerful message. I have always loved this song. It's very impressive in person.
What an awesome performance of this very beautiful song.👍🏽👏🏽
So. Accurate. Best cover i've seen by now... great voice!!
Excellent harmonics. My spine tingles when listening to this. I stumbled on this while searching for acapella selections. For being a "New Age" fan, I am surprised how I missed this piece when Kurt Bestor released it on one of his albums years ago. Thank you for posting your talented rendition and helping me discover another fine piece of ear and emotional pleasing music.
this is so sad how many shooting there are yearly, please I'm begging you to please pray for this to stop, these poor children and adults were insistent
Tremendous range. And real feeling in your singing. Excellent performance!
agreed
sang this in choir, great rendition
My name is Martin Smallwood. In 2005 I was the highest scoring singer auditioning for SC All State SSAATTBB choir. Not only was I the number 1 bass in the state, I was the number one singer out of all who auditioned in the state of SC. That was the most proud day of my life. I scored 233 out of 235 possible points, the next closest student to my score was Soprano 1 Samantha Hall, she had 227 out of 235 points. I do not know if my score was the highest ever for a SC All State Choir auditioner, but in my 4 years of High School I never saw anyone score over 230 points until I did. If you don't believe me, call or email Diane McFarland at Seneca High School in Seneca, SC.
I sang the Tenor 1 and Bass 2 parts of this song and I have just as wide of a vocal range as Rhett. Again, ask Diane McFarland if you do not believe me.
What I'm getting at, is it is very possible to have a range this wide. Is it commonplace? By all means no, but it's possible...
That doesn't change the fact that the bass in this song sounds fake as hell, and having an extensive range yourself you should know that having this amount of clarity at such a low part of your range is simply not possible.
I can't believe it's been 10 years
Thank you for such a beautiful rendition. All voices are perfectly clear and in tune.
Absolutely beautiful. This was always one of my favorite songs from choir and you performed it very nicely.
We did this song in our high school, sweet memories
One of the greatest, most meaningful multitracks I have ever heard. Well done.
Omg its December 21st this song is 7 years ollllllllllld
The most perfect version of this song i have ever heard!
Absolutely beautiful and moving! Thank you.
How can someone not like this. This is an amazing rendition of this song!
Its good to know us Bass singers arent as dead as some of us might think. Well done man!
oh my goodness. I love this, you have done a fantastic job. your intonation is astounding. I really like how you snuck in those octave drops for the bass part. and the dynamics, were perfect to say the least. well done
i was lucky enough to sing this with my youth chorus and i loved it then but listening to this you made me cry :') thank you for uploading this
I love this song
and I would love it if you put each individual separate part on UA-cam as well PLEASE
I read up on it. He was a missionary in Serbia. During the NATO bombings a hospital was struck in Belgrade and he wrote this song for the kids that died. Very powerful indeed
Oh my... that full bass tone. my knees are gettin' weak. Mercy
this is chillingly beautiful
thanks so much
Kurt bestor is an lds right and he is the one who made this song....awesome
So beautiful, made me cry on the way to work lol. Listening to this on repeat for a few days.
2:11 BASS 💯💯💯
This was incredible and made me cry. Very well done, I love that you didn't resort to faking the bass.
I sang this song in 1996 in the AZ all-state choir under the direction of Dr. Weston Noble my sophomore year in high school. It was on copies of the original hand-written sheet music written by Kurt Bestor. This was before Warner Brothers bought the rights to it. It was originally written as a tribute to the bombing of the children's hospital in Bosnia. It was the most amazing experience in my life, and inspired me to become a high school choir teacher. Rhett, you have done an amazing job recording this piece, as well as all your others! On a side note, what software do you use to make these videos, because I would like to do this kind of thing as well. -Tony (the Leading Tone)
Beautiful
Very Emotional. You achieved your purpose as a tribute and them some!! Beautifully done.
That bass doe ^
You are just amazing, I'm speechless *o* To me, the more bass, the better x)
JUST BEAUTIFUL, BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES. THANKS!!!
Absolutely beautiful! I do some similar stuff as well, and know how much time goes into it! I also appreciate the way you are unashamed to present the Gospel to people through your songs. Keep it up, Rhett!
My choir sang this for contest last year right after the shootings I Florida
such a beautiful song. 😢
Wow, what a range!
Rhett, this is perhaps the most simultaneously beautiful and sad music I have heard in years. Strikingly fine singing! Thank you for keeping “Jesus” in the lyrics. Someone wanted to hear you demonstrate your bass range and they are not alone. May I recommend: “Peace Like a River Blackwood Brothers” on You Tube? You may be the only one alive that is both as smooth and low as the great Bill Lyles.
Hence. The line of Serbian text
It took training, but my range has increased to this and then some so I can honestly say it's very possible for this to be real
It is a beautiful piece as we are doing this for a concert but this is obviously put corrected. You can tell. The pitches sound computerized
actually, that's just what happens when you harmonize to your own voice multiple times
Eyes wet... can't type :' (
This is exquisite.
great song and voice tnx
crazy how i gotta sing this song and now in honor of the shooting in Uvdale. just makes me sick to my stomach that these are little innocent kids
My lord. Do you edit your range to get that low? It's so rich and warm.
That was amazing. That is all I can say.
You are incredibly talented Rhett..i subscribed after watching this one
I found it on musicnotes(dotcom)
i believe he put it there because this song was written in response to the Serbian War. i'm not quite sure though
It was in the sheet music, didn't even know it was Serbian or why the arranger put it in there
The song was originally written for children who were suffering during the Yugoslav Wars
Stunning to hear!
wow, this is amazing...i almost cried
That was beautiful and moving.
you are really good man. you could go somewhere with that.
i sang this song in kenosha wisconsins choralfest in 2010
I know this is gonna be random af, but for some reason, this reminds of "Tubthumper" by Chumbawamba. Idk i can just see this becoming a dance/rock song
What a beautiful tribute! Thank you!
Sang this song in my choir....I thought I sang bass.....I don't.
Not to knock you,but I really would love a natural recording of it... I did a recording which was my very first multitrack I attempted.. Wouldn't mind learning the other parts better and re-recording at some point... Props for attempting an amazing piece, though!
