- This is a Concert Highlights clip of the popular sacred song, The Holy City, I sang for a vespers with La Sierra University Church! This arrangement and this song is the title track for my NEW ALBUM RELEASE, "The Holy City". In this video, I perform the arrangement by James Nathaniel Holland with Dr. Elvin Rodríguez at the piano and I announce the release of my new album project.
My new album, "The Holy City", was recorded with the La Sierra University Department of Music as my college honors scholarship project. The album takes the listener on a journey through the period of music through the medium of sacred classical music. The album is supposed to be heard from the top down, as it starts at the oldest composition, to the newest compositions and arrangements. This body of work features the La Sierra University Orchestra, Chamber Singers, United Vocal Group, and many of the faculty. I hope you enjoy the album as much as I enjoyed working on it!
Thank you to La Sierra University Church, Pastor Dewald Kritzinger, and Paul Cardon for filming and working on this vespers with me! Thank you also to Sergio Leiva for producing this album and to Chris James for the mixing and mastering! Finally, thank you to La Sierra University for working on me on this album project!

I sang this solo in church about 50 years ago, and while I was not this good by any stretch. This video brings back a memory that was both incredible, and sad.
Beautiful song! Well done. Be glory to the King Jesus. He will surely return very soon.
What a wonderfully talented young man you are. This performance is just stunning.
Hallelujah n Bravo
I’m very impressed by this young glorious Tenor an instrument of rare beauty indeed. Bravo 👏
What a beautiful voice!
Fantastic. Praying for Israel and of course every hurting scared person in the middle east. This song and its text stays in my ❤.
Lyrics by Jeanette McDonald: thank you for a wonderful presentation!
This is about the NEW ETERNAL JERUSALEM in Rev. 21:2 which will be a part of the NEW HEAVENS AND THE NEW EARTH, lasting into ETERNITY.
Last night I lay a-sleeping
I dreamed a dream so fair,
I stood in old Jerusalem
Beside the temple there.
I heard the children singing,
And ever as they sang
I thought the voice of angels
From heaven in answer rang,
I thought the voice of angels
From heaven in answer rang.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
O How the angels sing!
Hosanna in the highest!
Hosanna to your King!
And then I saw my dream was changed,
The streets no longer rang.
Hushed were the glad Hosannas
No little children sang.
The sun grew dark with mystery,
The morn was cold and chill,
As the shadow of a cross arose
Upon a lonely hill,
As the shadow of a cross arose
Upon a lonely hill.
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
O How the angels sing!
Hosanna in the highest!
Hosanna to your King!
And once again the scene was changed,
NEW EARTH there seemed to be.
I saw the Holy City
Beside the tideless sea.
The light of God was on its streets,
The gates were open wide,
And all who would might enter,
And no one was denied.
No need of moon or stars by night,
Or sun to shine by day;
IT WAS THE NEW JERUSALEM
THAT WOULD NOT PASS AWAY! (2X)
Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
O How the angels sing!
Hosanna in the highest!
Hosanna FOREVERMORE! (2x)
Impeccable and very solemn.
What a fantastic voice! So expressive and strong❤️
Absolutely spellbinding! Your rendition of The Holy City spoke volumes of belief in Jesus and his mission to the people of God. Thank you so very much and every blessing to you and your music.
Anthony, I Thank God for the gifts and talents He has given you. May He continue to Bless your voice and May you always use it for His Honor and Glory. I can’t help remembering your grandparents Pr. & Mrs. Bolivar. How much they valued Good music. I know that if they could hear you today tears of Joy would stream down their cheeks and they would be very proud of you. Elvin, I also thank God for the gifts and talents he has given you. Thank you for that beautiful accompaniment on the piano. Beautiful team work. A Blessing to hear. God Bless you both🙏
Que lindo!!! Una alabanza que me gustaba escuchar desde niño. Anthony, Dios te siga bendiciendo, para escuchar más alabanzas a Dios. Y al pianista también, excelente! Saludos desde Panamá.
❤❤❤❤ Long live Jerusalem. God's Holy City ❤❤❤❤
Your enunciation is EXCELLENT!
Beautiful presentation.
A most beautiful arrangement and performance! Congratulations, my son! ❤️🌹
Beautiful
A really lovely performance Anthony! Thank you so much! I'm greatly looking forward to the album.
Beautiful. Thank you for ending on the triumphant high note. Thank you for the purity of just a piano accompaniment.
God has given you a glorious talent and we're thrilled that you are sharing it with the world. I still have goosebumps.
Another wonderful performance! Thank you for sharing your talent and wishing you every continued success and happiness.
CONGRATULATIONS BEAUTIFUL VOICE RING, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE NOTES CHANGED IN THE ACCOMPANIMENT AND ON THE MELODIC LINE. THAT CHANGES THE MEANING OF THE PHRASE !.
Beautiful !
What a voice bringing me comfort as my friend is dying .i wish
Soli Deo gloria
Doing what you love, and glorify God. Anthony, you're blessed! Sending lots of love here!
This is the greatest arrangement and expression of this song I have ever heard!
I’ve been listening to all different singers renditions of this glorious song. Jessye Norman I thought was impossible to match but this is magnificent. It’s so nice to have both male and female singers perform it.
I agree Anthony León is my favorite male vocalist and Jessye Norman might be my favorite female for this song.
Also have a listen to Richard Crooks and Jack Holcomb’s versions!! :)
Like how you felt it and song it so beautifully..Praise Our Creator of Heaven and Earth 👏👏👏👏👏😇
Excellent skills Mr. Musician 👏👏
¡Qué bendición para mí escuchar tu voz hermano! Gracias.
How beautiful and thank you all for this
HOSANNA HOSANNA
TOO HUMBLE
GRATEFUL
Incredible vocals and piano playing!
You have a beautiful voice and it is sheer joy listening to you sing. Thank you.
Stunningly beautiful.thank you 🙏🙏🙏
Super rendition of a much loved classic! Sung beautifully, with feeling, control and clarity.
I recall performing the Holy City at a singing competition back in my school days, and was overcome with nostalgia listening to you sing this piece.
Also, loved your rendition of He's got the whole world!
Best wishes and keep up the amazing singing!
An extremely refreshing tenor sound; I am totally impressed with your training, amazing talent and this great arrangement. You have an extremely bright future ahead and my prayer is that you go as far as you can. Thank you for sharing!! :)
Bravissimo Anthony, God has blessed you with an amazing voice. I hope your career goes from strength to strength and hopefully you will come to the UK in the near future so that we can see and hear you.
Que Dios te siga iga utilizando que hermoso la verdad escucharte me transporta aquel momento cuando veamos a nuestro Salvador regresar y llevarnos a habitar con él en la Nueva Jerusalén
Amen😢
AMÉEEEENNN!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Listening in 2022. Oh what a great job. Takes my mind way back to when I first heard this hymn in elementary school. The girl (a schoolmate) did a superb job. I remember it to this day. Thanks. PEACE to all. Merry 🎄🎅🌲🧑🎄🎄🤶

Hello brother,, my last name is Leon to, beautiful sounds and voice and personality blessings theLord and Blessing...
Wow! Powerful voice! Thank you for sharing.
As a long-time voice teacher and choral conductor, I am excited to hear a young talent like Anthony León. What a bright, resonant sound, honed to a magnificent performance. I heard him online do "On Wenlock Edge" by Vaughan Williams, while he was a student at New England Conservatory. Beautiful work!
What a beautiful voice
Very clean!!!
Absolutely perfect! What a voice!
LOVE this song. God has certainly blessed this young man.
One of the best arrangements. Such glorious musicality between these two gentlemen. I hope they both have remarkable careers.
What a beautiful voice and song. So beautiful I keep playing it over and over.
God is speaking.
Beautiful rendition
Beautiful voice, brilliant squillo 😊
I have been listening to many singers and choirs performing this song tonight. Yours is by far the best! Thank you for blessing us with your magnificent gift. God bless
Wao. Beatiful
What strength in that voice. Perfect voice for the message ❤❤❤❤😊
Wonderfully Done!
Now I know why the Hosanna during Mass stirs me.
Bravissimo!!
Well sung, you have a great voice, hope you know the One who song is about. The piano playing was excellent. 😊🇿🇦

BEAUTIFUL BEYOND WORDS
Magnificent. Thank you Kindly.
You are singlehandedly very vocally blessed!
❤Голос звучит симпотично .Браво оо.❤
Beautiful, intelligent interpretation, Anthony. Passionate & well phrased (this sacred song can be
challenging to sing), And, such a beautiful voice. You're new to me but I look forward to more.
You are so fit !!!
Perfect pitch, better than good resonance, a pleasure to watch and hear.
Anthony... you have a magnificent voice! Truly a talented instrument which God has given you. I implore you to ever use it to the glory of God. As a life-long musician myself: voice, piano and organ, I can recognize talent when I hear it. It is a shame your esteemed accompanist diminished this classic and miserably detracted from it by his playing in what is an otherwise truly beautiful piece!
Beautiful 🎉
That
Was
Awesome.
Superior
It's not a song it's a hymn
Loved n subscribed. From India.
