Beautifully performed and sang.
So beautiful! I am working on code for a project and this so incredibly wonderful to have along as a journey companion!
What a wonderful performance. It indeed gave a feeling of hope. Peace to all.+
This was a very nice performance which I enjoyed while working on a sewing project. I think this came together very well considering more than one group was involved. I learned this years ago with different English translation but found the spirit in this version as well. Thank you for posting it so many others could enjoy it!
Your performance has been inspirational as I have learnt the words and music, for a scheduled performance by our community choir, which sadly has been cancelled due to ongoing COVID19 restrictions.
From a musical standpoint, this was very beautifully done! I very much dislike the alternate English lyrics! What's wrong with the original English translation???
Right on!! I am singing along and finding them off with their words. I thought they must be using a different translation, but how disappointing it is to vary from the beloved translation that we all sang.
Sorry to say, that I cannot distinguish a single word, so the discussion regarding old or new English translation is irrelevant. For me, this is a major issue with American choruses. But the sound/tone in this recording is perfect as is the slower tempo.
🙏🙏🙏
I listened to a couple of other performances by more talented performers but really wanted to hear the performance in English.
It may be a "German Requiem", but the traditional English is so much more pleasing! IMHO
@@furlvr1961 Yes
Definitely. The Truth of the Scriptures, not the RC myths of ‘eternal hell’ and other non-Biblical made-up things. But it should definitely have stuck to and sung Brahms own choice of Scriptural verses and words.
@@margaretlavender9647 Oh I like that... another person who does not believe that Scripture teaches eternal hell. Sweet!
It's a nice performance, but, I prefer the other English version. Also, unfortunately, as having that many people in a chorale, the triumphant songster forgets about proper stance, holding your music high enough as to not be leaning forward like cows at a trough, and most importantly, to enunciate clearly or use proper diction techniques to add the ending of the words with the beginning of phrases. I remember in my alto section, the one elder singer, didn't have the stamina to hold phrasing or the note, but, always made sure she put that "T" or confound it, the "S" at the end of a word, and usually a beat behind.
So that is the reality of having singers who aren't professional, and frankly, my dear, don't even try to master singing etiquette, let alone, take a breath at the right time. They're standard is, it is what it is, and don't even try. either they have no pride in their singing or how they come across to the audience, let alone, what the poor conductor has to listen to.
Oh do stop with your - It’s a real blessing....A rare privilege, So thankful, So grateful etc etc, Americans do SO go over the top with their So precious, We are blessed etc etc
