The University of Utah Singers perform "I'm Gonna Sing 'Til the Spirit Moves in My Heart" by Moses Hogan, live in concert on May 22, 2009 in Knight's Hall (Brežice Castle) in Brežice, Slovenia, under the direction of Dr. Brady Allred.
Soloists: Adam Griffiths, David Martin, Will Perkins & Andy Maughan
1:57-2:09 lawd I can't get enough of that part ♥♥!!
I'm singing this song with my choir, and I am singing the soprano obligato part, the higher one that hits the high C, it's so fun(: you all sang it beautifully
I'm singing the obligato as well :P 5 years late but better late than never
This is the most amazing version of the song ever heard.
The very nature of gospel music is free and moved by the spirit. We believe that Mr. Hogan would've enjoyed this as much as our audiences all over the world did and would not be nearly as worried about a few different notes/rhythms or our skin color as so many commentors on UA-cam are. Music (especially gospel/spiritual music) is about so much more. This was a very heart felt performance and we feel the original message/feeling of the piece was delivered, even with a few "unnecessary" changes.
By far the best group to sing this
This choir did a fantastic job generally speaking. I like the opening solo's. Conductor's drive me crazy changing the ethos and mournful quality of the ending. That makes this piece unique and makes the simplicity of Moses' Hogan's ending stand out among concert spirituals. I suggest conductor's think about scoring their own arrangement as opposed to changing someone else's.
Genius writing on the part of moses hogan! He was so very good at painting a picture musically within the text as it is so evident on the phrase "cant you feel it moving" and how the upper parts dp malismatic passages painting the picture of wind blowing like the spirit.JUST GENIUS I TELL YOU! and it was exhibited well with this fine choir!
One of my favorite choral songs. I'm not religious, but I still think it's awesome music.
The third and fourth soloists gave me chills
Three things I wanna say:
1) I sang this during my freshman year of college, and it was so much fun! Great piece!
2) That same year our college went on a music tour (band went with the choir). The band hadn't heard this piece before, but after they did hear it they raved about it. They thought "Oh my Jesus" sounded like "Oh my Cheez-Its"... and one band member went so far as to buy a box of Cheez-Its and have the kids on the band bus sing about the Cheez-Its to this song. IT WAS HILARIOUS!!!
3) Is it just me, or did the lady with the short red hair on the bottom left side of the right block of people wake up when the choir started the "Shout" verse? Take a look (2:11).
Again, great piece :)
This literally brought me to tears on twice in a row. Excellently done.
Excellent job! I love the tenor solos!
I’ll never forget this piece in college choir. So fun to sing in concert 😊😢
turnup sopranos LOVE IT
The third soloist gave me chills. Straight up INCREDIBLE!
2 people must have missed the like button on this video because it is absolutely >>>BRILLIANT!!!!!
This was a pretty good rendition of the song. I'd never heard it sung quite like this.
Ps: Solo-soprano-singer-lady did really good on those high notes!!! Those particular notes, if not approached correctly, could cause one's voice to crack and go out for a couple days; but she did really great.
I just don't have words to describe it! Wonderful! My spirit moved inside of me!
My chior is performing this song for the spring concert and our choir intructor showed the choir this video today at the end of class, I fangirl'd at the guys in the begining and then I kinda cried at the end. Well, not really cried, but tears came out. Haha. It was powerful and full of emotion. >.< amazing interpretation!
Very often I have seen choirs that sing this song to technical too “clean” sounding. You all did this justice. The enunciations were great. You all have soul!
YOURE LEGENDARIAS
the solos were very good! alot of variety that i havent heard from this choir in other "gospel" songs that have been done and recorded!!
@MillieAzure
And as a sop. 1 who has sung this, I can say that it is incredibly hard to blend when singing a Bb or a C above the staff. The only "improvable" thing I noticed was the sfp attack at the end. This choir's performance was fantastic.
@ninabean100 right! It's supposed to be a jazzy "I'm gonna sing till my Jesus" then the basses are supposed to sing "till He comes" while the choir hums
yeah it's too "English" for me
Very nice!
I love this song so much :)
One of my favorite songs to this day, I performed it in Athens GA with the GMEA All-State men's choir when I was in high school
This was absolutely beautiful!
Do Not be a silent witness of the Lord Jesus! Shout it from the rooftops if needed for He is coming Soon for His own! BE A WITNESS! Talk the talk AND WALK THE WALK!
I love that. We always need people to remind us of stuff like that. Thank you.
@MillieAzure I LOVED IT, i overlook their lack of movement, but that's how most abroad (by abroad i mean england, europe, area, where most classical singers come from) people sing.
Placed 2nd at a Feis recently with this song. Such a great SATB tune.
OMG i love the improvisation! great tenors ;)
i love this recording!!!
Like "Amazing Grace," any variation gives me pause, but oh how beautiful it was! I think Brother Moses would have been pleased and I am sure happy to know that Jesus was proclaimed in Slovenia. Well Done!
Chills. All I can say.
I got chills. Absolutely amazing.
very awesome
Omigoodness! This was a wonderful rendition. Thank you so much for sharing with us. We're singing this on Sunday and I hope we do as well. And, yes, it DID move my heart.
im lovin' it
CHILLS!!!!!!
amazing!!!!! great job!!!!
First off I want to say that the choir did an amazing job. Point #1 no one can speak for Moses Hogan because first off he is deceased and therefore no one knows what he might of said about them having changes added to this piece. Point#2 Stop riding them and appreciate them. I don't understand why people have so much negative things to say all the time. The defintion of a spiritual is pertaining to the spirit or soul. Gospel is a form of spiritual music rooted in the solo and responsive church.
I was trained by Mr. Hogan and have two aunts that were in the original Chorale as well. I have to disagree. I think that the ending was very much in keeping with his other arrangements and the overall style that he has become famous for. While I prefer the original arrangement (especially on "sing till-my-Jesus" of the last line)- I do not feel that this was so far off as to deserve the criticism shown on this page.
We will agree to disagree.
Very Interesting rendition of this piece...
Bellissima e bravissimi!!
Very nicely done! I do not know the original. This was wonderful and very felt by the Spirit!
Prachtige uitvoering. Proficiat!
@Joe: I think one of the reasons endings on spirituals tend to be big is because it's often a finale, and they want to end with a "wow."
great tenors!
yeah thats the same thing I was saying But I do LOVE this song !
Reminds me of my days as a Fisk Jubilee Singers!!!!!!!
Maestro is doing a fine job in UfU!
This is awesome!!
Interesting interpretation of the piece!
brilliant!
The Best...
i realy loved it
hats off !!!! wow
I Applied to this college just because of this music program.
nossaaaaaa. é de arrepia!😱😍
fantástico
Wow that ending is completely different from what I've seen/sung. It was pretty cool, I have to admit.
The soloist
Loved the beginning, that was a nice touch. The ending kinda threw me off a bit, but I can't knock on the fact that the song as a whole sounded great.
impresionante
0:36 that man has a set of pipes
I love the changes I bet Moses Hogan would like them too
No he would not have. Moses wrote what he wanted sung.
That bass tho
A M A Z I N G
@kiosumiutaki im so with you on that!!!!!
the 3rd soloist nails the dynamics oh so fckin well :D
Our teacher says not to make T consonants stand out and it makes no sense to me. Does anyone else find it weird?
@italiangirl789 The conductor can interoperate the song however he wants.
@italiangirl789 the end is not completely different. They just did a variation on it.. They same the same lyrics, just a couple different notes.
WOW. That's all i can say.
My choir will be singing this piece at Six flags come April
Wow loved everything but the two “solos” that’s not in a he music. My voice teacher always would say “you don’t have to add to Handel he had a clue” and so did Moses Hogan.
@EditaNight No that's the tempo. Jus cuz you did it slow dont mean thats how its done.
share this amazing star paul brandt with your fans and Be a HAITI Bound go 2 haiti this fall with JUST AS I IM Tour
@italiangirl789 they changed 5 notes and added a soprano to the end.
nice basses.
Yes, why do You ask? ;)
eveytime i hear this i spaz lol
@666malian exactly. me too :)
The feeeeeeeels.
no offense but I think that the ending is EPIC - way better than yours (judging from what I saw here on UA-cam) but I'd drop that solo from the ending - just the escalade and then finish on the final chord.
2:29 oh snap.
@dimensionalharmony10 That's the written tempo, actually. My choir recently started working on this song.
The soprano really wasn't that bad, and in fact did a great job for the highness of those notes.
Also, if you didn't like the way those soloists did the intro, you'd hate the way Hogan's choir sings his other works.
(And one more thing: "the tenors and sopranos need jesus." Because apparently jesus is the only thing that could make this choir sound better to you. Ha.)
Nice song.. how to get song music book..
great song!
but i think it would be better if the last part (obligato?) sang by one person only
This is wonderful. What's the tempo on this?
I wish the bass's solo after the first verse moved a little more. It was very monodynamic. With this song, the spirit needs to move, so how is the spirit going to mover is the words dont? Hypothetically speaking.
The original ending is rather subdued, and would be a perfect segue into another more hushed Moses Hogan setting, say, Lord I Want To Be A Christian. These changes to the ending are great for a concert closer, and I like them for that reason. The comments suggesting these changes don't "fit" the style (too "white?") are the same arguments I have heard about Hogan's settings: that they are more concert arrangements than the original style of spirituals a century ago. It's a matter of taste.
Overall, it sounds good but the original had a certain texture or mood that I prefer.
UGH COMPUTER!!!! Let me hear this louder >:(
1:38
Clackamas A choir
1:30
@MyoclonicSlug: What are You talking about? I hope that it was a joke. As example i'm a atheist too and i clicked green button ;) It's just good made song for me, not prayer or something of this kind.
so therefore, there is no difference.
I don't remember the honorable Moses Hogan writing this in the beginning, but I'm pretty sure he would approve but professionally would've left that out
not his type of style
i also had the honor of being conducted under him
I thought the same thing.... but it does say its written for a small group of men....lol but that ending though in the trio..... O____o
Interesting - I deem it slightly too fast. =)
Wonderful. Recording sucks, though. Needs better recording software.
This version is not by Moses Hogan. I was honored of being in the presence of Moses Hogan and he would roll over in his grave right now if he heard this grotesque version of his song. i actually sang this song with the LA All-State choir under his conduction. I don't thin he'd appreciate the changes this chorale made.
I agree with Maxwell, and I'm so sick of people claiming to know what this or that dead composer would or would not have approved of, from Bach to Hogan. If you didn't like this interpretation, fine, keep scrolling, but I think what would REALLY make Moses Hogan "roll over in his grave" is knowing that people like you who were "in his presence once" are making such bold assumptions and judgements on his behalf. The beginning and end are a little different than what is written but the song itself is ABOUT singing the way the spirit moves you to and the spirit of the piece is completely intact! I'll tell you what Moses Hogan would've loved, and that's the way this performance of his music thrilled and moved hundreds and hundreds of audience members in the 8 different countries it was performed in live and hundreds of thousands here on UA-cam as well. I was in this choir and it was an audience favorite all over Eastern Europe and everywhere we toured that month! Oh and an international panel of judges agreed because we won an international competition as well. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, just make sure it's YOUR opinion you're sharing and not someone who is dead who you don't know and who hasn't given you power of attorney to speak for them. Also, "conduction" is only a real word when talking about Physics.
Too bad you simpleminded asshats don't know what good music is anyways, oh and conduction is not the only word used in physics....Im so sick of all these grammar nazi's who takes life on youtube way too serisouly. sorry i offended all you Hillart and Trump supporters up in this bitch. Scroll past my comments if you don't oike them, don't have to call me an asshole fuckwads
and i'm going to add this piece performed (no offense to any of the talented chorale members) is still a piece of shit and can do better. Yeah this is just music to appreciate but it's also to criticize. So suck it
I really don't understand why this went from a simple disagreement about a musical interpretation to nasty name calling, foul language slinging and even bringing politics into the mix! I was not rude at all! You would do well to learn to have disagreements in a civilized manner. This kind of response is a sign of immaturity. I'm sorry I corrected your word. That was unnecessary. But I stand by my comment. It's absolutely fine that you don't like this video and felt like saying so, but don't speak for Moses Hogan, and if you think you can do so much better, LET'S SEE IT! Where are YOUR amazing videos!? Or are you one of the many millions of UA-camrs who, instead of putting in the time, effort, expense and showing the kind of vulnerability it takes to produce and put their art out there for the whole world to judge, just spends their time criticizing what other artists post instead?
David Lacap Are you kidding? Composers don't make their songs the way they are and expect people to sing it 100% exactly the way it's written. The creativity that was produced and the way they slightly made it their own would make Hogan more than happy that his beautiful work was sang so wonderfully. You spoke of others taking UA-cam seriously but you did exactly the same. Even when you said that they should have scrolled on, you should have just went on about your day without commenting something so rude
