Okay, I sang this back in high school choir and had completely forgotten its existence. Then it comes up on this playlist. And suddenly I remember EVERY SINGLE DANG LINE/HARMONY/CUTOFF. Human brain = weirdness
I LOVE that you love specific parts. All of it is wonderful..but certain parts give me shivers. That very last note that slides into major just does me in.
It's my last year. My mixed chorus just sang this last week for the final performance. I did the Alto part as well. I think this was the only song I enjoyed doing. Don't want it to be over lol
I sang this 21yrs ago with my vocal class in a choir competition and still remember all the words and soprano part to this very day. It's a song that definitely stays with you. lol
I sang this piece in Paris in 1980 with the University Chorale of Boston College at Les Invalides. When we hit that final chord, the Parisians went absolutely apeshit and would not stop shouting and clapping until we sang the entire piece all over again. It's so simple, yet so powerful -- this group in this video does an OUTSTANDING job with it!
I sang this piece 20 years ago as a freshman in my HS choral ensemble. It's 2019 and I haven't heard or sang it since back then and I still remember the entire bass part. I dont know why i looked it up. I was just thinking about it and i figured id give it a shot and just look it up. It is One of the greatest, most emotional pieces of choral music to sing as a large group choir. Its a roller coaster of emotional, passionate ups and downs....And that harmony at the end, tho!!! In a large choir it feels like you are literally in a tunnel of sound, I'll never forget it. I'm in tears singing it with the video.
I hope that everyone who sings this spiritual does so with the voice of those who originally sang it, remembering the reasons. Not just to use this song for the glory of their own talent and vocalbeauty. It would be easy to do so, but we must remember whose voices this was for. ✝️ ❤ 🙏
That. Was. Amazing. We are singing this in my high school's concert choir and this is the most beautiful rendition. It's very well done rhythmically and the dynamics are beautifully executed. Thank you for your time in singing this piece. Absolutely gorgeous.
I randomly remembered this awhile trying to sleep at 10:30 at night and got out of bed and sorted through all of my old playlists to find this absolute masterpiece. This is the only version I’ll listen to 🔥🔥🔥
First piece I ever sang with a really good choir. State sectional choir as a high school sophomore. I remember, at the first practice, hearing that final note and looking in awe at my buddy next to me. We couldn't believe such a sound was possible. Wonderful performance here, thanks.
I heard a men's Glee club sing this back in the 60's. One of my little brothers just lost his wife today, so I searched for this song. Thank you to all the members of this choir, the conductor and instrumentalists. You all did a fantastic job! The passion with which this was sung brought many tears to my eyes, as was meet.
This performance gave me goosebumps!!!! That rarely happens!!!? From the scores of MPA I'm going to give this a superior!!! Congrats my fellow choir members
The tenor section is strong,Very Distinguishable. I love the Strong ending on this song. Our high school varsity choir is doing this, and I gotta say this is one of my favorite Varsity songs we've done so far... Joshua High School if you were wondering, our director is Mr. Stephen Johnson, an all around great teacher.
That last note made my hairs stand on end. Makes me miss our high school's old choir. They were half the size of this one, but equal in comparison in how brilliant they were. Unfortunately, we have even gotten smaller, but we pull through. JOIN CHOIR! It's worth it.
You guys have such amazing tenors..and love the song. I listened to this song for aver four years and the last chord still gives me goosebumps. Great job!
This is amazing! I absolutely loved this performance. Everyone did an awesome job. Especially the young men. I sung this piece in choir back in high school. Spirituals were our choir's specialty. You all definitely captured the point of this song. Awesome job!
I dedicate this to Mrs Lilly Kay Placek Grehan, may you sing beautiful songs/hymns in heaven. I will love and think of you always. I remember when you were choir director and this hymn is forever in my soul. Thank you so very much for teaching me the love of our lords words. You are now forever free of pain and have long lasting peace. You are now with GOD.
I didn’t even sing this song, the other choir in my high school did. And it was phenomenal then. Such a beautiful song. And beautifully performed. Makes me cry every time. Such meaning and love and energy in this song.
We're singing this in my school choir for an upcoming festival, and though it is hard as heck to sing, it is a beautiful piece! Thank you for posting such a wonderful rendition of this song!
I'm getting goosebumps everywhere!!!! I just love this piece!!! I'm recommending this piece to my choir director and seeing if my choir can sing this on our choir tour:D
used to sing it faster but darker back in the old days. but come to think of it. it is a song of hope!!! imagine meeting God and your loved ones in heaven! it's joy unspeakable! faster, slower, darker, brighter...if someone gets touched, it has served its purpose :) cheers.
Sang this with family members and friends as the premiere performance of the East Bay Chorus of RI back in the 70s...our performance hall was the first church built in Rhode Island, still being used today...and it is still one of my favorite spirituals to remember and enjoy. This is such a brilliant rendition...touching, strong, convincing! Our Choir director emeritus...Chuck Mello...would be all tingles over the execution!!
I remember singing tenor in this song with my choir a year ago. It felt so amazing to bring this beautiful piece to life and I always wish I can have the chance to sing it again. Though this group does a much slower tempo than what I'm used to hearing, they really do the song justice. I still got a lot of goosebumps and my eyes are actually now irritated from all the tears it caused me to shed. Very well done!
Actually, I really do like this interpretation of this piece. This tempo is perfect. Most choirs tend to speed it up and then have issues with trying to shove dynamics into it. Beautiful bass section.
This is bringing back memories from high school choir... at a PUBLIC school too (it was in 1997). We sang this song, and at about the same tempo too. We sang several other spirituals as well, including "Ain't Got Time To Die". You guys did a great job singing, and thank you for sharing it on youtube! God bless you guys!
My choir is learning this for contest and I’m so fricking excited. We played this recording and class and every single person’s jaw just dropped. We’re all so pumped
I cant say how amazing this performance is. My choir did this song and I think you guys pretty much owned every part of this song. Post more songs like this
I went to my church camp for music week, and we learned this song, and our director had us watch this video so we would know how its suppose to go, I love this song
I am not sure I've ever heard this piece performed at this tempo, but... you do such a good job with every little detail that the tempo works! Just shows that if care is taken to capture all of the nuances and a committed performance,anything can be made to work. Very nice singing.
Okay, Most of you here sang or going to sing this in choir give a like if you are one of us choir students
No, I'm a German SCHÜLER
Currently singing it 👍
we are playing this in orchestra 😊
we're "learning" it right now; but we were handed it in november and i already have it memorized.
This is probably one of the most perfect runs of this song that I've ever heard. That was STELLAR
+acensionSUCKS u should hear Acappella and then talk about STELLAR.
Definitely agree!
Too slow!
Yes it's perfect.
i heard one of my colleges best choirs sing it and i cried and everyone was like
WHATS WRONG
From Kenya,We sang this song in the Music Festivals 2018,and we were position 3 in the whole country,man Still remember my Bass role
Okay, I sang this back in high school choir and had completely forgotten its existence. Then it comes up on this playlist. And suddenly I remember EVERY SINGLE DANG LINE/HARMONY/CUTOFF. Human brain = weirdness
Yep, that happens to me too!

My Favorite part of this song is when the bass says "no more weeping" and the ending part going to the second time around ❤ .. just beautiful
I LOVE that you love specific parts. All of it is wonderful..but certain parts give me shivers. That very last note that slides into major just does me in.
Okay, I mean I like the whole song I just love them parts sooooo yea😁😁
I sang this in high school and I've been singing it so much lately! Even after 4 years I still know the alto part
this year for me UIL :D very hard
So did I. Sends chills doesn't it. I wanted to see if the Swedish Radio Choir ever did this but these people are pretty good.
Megan Boulden the whole time I was singing the alto part along with it. I sang this in high school as well
It's my last year. My mixed chorus just sang this last week for the final performance. I did the Alto part as well. I think this was the only song I enjoyed doing. Don't want it to be over lol

I live for that last chord...

Felicity Roche 😂😂😂😂
Quinn Pineiro is your name actually Quinn because that's amazing
Felicity Roche yes it is. It was supposed to be Q from star trek but I like it either way
me too me too 😍😍😍😭😭😭
how many people have sang this for choir😂😂😂😂
METU Choir (1998-2001)
RN
I did not. I did see the middle school choir perform this while I was performing for the elementary choir. This was in 2004 at the Kennedy Center!
Me
Because it’s a great!
Still one of my favorite songs I've ever done in a choir. So powerful.

This was posted 14 years ago…14 years later you have me as a freshman to sing this piece with this chorale this spring 😊
same here
Amen!! It takes complete faith in the existence of a light bandwidth that we cannot see at this time as mere mortals.
I sang this song like there was no tomorrow in 1990, at PLES. Brings back good memories.
Learned this arrangement in high school over 30 years ago. Was moved to tears hearing this rendition. Beautiful performance!!!
自由曲でこれになって最初は英語で
まともな合唱にならんだろと思ったけどこの動画を見たらやる気が湧いてきた…
こんなふうにじゃないけど、迫力出るように歌いたいな
very nicely done, beautiful song!

I sang this back in high school over 20 years ago! I still remember the tenor and bass parts 🙌🏾
I am a tenor voice and learnt this song today. That last chord is just magical... Its so poweful
Actually, I really do like this interpretation of this piece. This tempo is perfect. Most choirs tend to speed it up and then have issues with trying to shove dynamics into it. Beautiful bass section.
I been rehearsing this shit so much with my school chorus that it was stuck in my head so I just had to listen to it
Lune same😕

Incredible. Absolutely incredible. I love that the voice parts are physically staggered over the risers.
saw them live last year, had chills the entire concert. it was unbelievable!
My choir is learning this for contest and I’m so fricking excited. We played this recording and class and every single person’s jaw just dropped. We’re all so pumped
your version is the best I've heard. I am looking forward to our version, we will sing with the men's choir to 100 years anniversary of our church
Beautiful! ! Great job!
Beautiful - The setting is Camelback Bible Church, Paradise Valley, AZ - one of the greatest acoustics for singing in the country.
Thank you- I wondered where. Who are they?
The sound and video quality here are simply superb! Would that all UA-cam videos met this standard. A truly amazing performance!
Excellent. I agree that the tenors are wonderfully strong and clear.
Beautiful and heartfelt performance!
my choir just got introduced to this song today! I adore this song, it gives me chills
Love the dramatic changes in dynamics. Very well performed!!!
one of the best song that I loved..
thank's TMCChorale GB y'all
i love this song! our school choir did this song last year. its so awesome!
So beautifully on pitch. The dynamics gave me the chills! My high school is doing this now... this is just an inspiration.
Sang this in both high school and college .... one of my all time favorite choir pieces!
i had to sing this song for TMEA all region choir last year and it was one of my favorite pieces i’ve ever sang. such a good song 😍
Stunning. simply stunning.
I am in love with this song. I’m singing this at school in choir rn and we sound bomb asf
FINALLY! An interpretation that I consider correct. Correct tempo, correct great dynamics. Thank you! Great work Director and Choir!
I love this song. Everytime I hear it I always smile. I can't wait to do this for a song in the 8th grade MMS choir.
Excellent! Outstanding! Beautiful!
I'm so glad my choir is singing this song
My choir is singing this for district contest! I've been rendered speechless by this though, so my director is gonna have to find another soprano lol
この前の合唱コンで先輩が歌ってた！
そのクラス金賞だった！
Wonderful choir! And nice recording too- you can't capture that sound without a great recording setup! Fantastic singing and direction!
身内が地区の合唱コンクールで聴いたという「ズンダビニワンダビニ」の正体が十年以上の時を経てやっと分かった
めっちゃかっこいいし、上手い団体が歌わないとダメな曲だな
Comin' from a metal song, I heard THIS... very inspiring, thank you very much!
I personally thought it was too slow but the good thing about that is that it lets everyone blend better and not feel so rushed too.
Man, I'm sorry I haven't heard of these guys sooner. So incredibly good.
I cant say how amazing this performance is. My choir did this song and I think you guys pretty much owned every part of this song. Post more songs like this

YES!! The choir gets more animated and expressive right then, and it adds soooo much to the song. Amazing what facial expression can do!
beautiful sound! very clear!
The chorus majors in my hs sang this recently and boy you have to hear it in real life to have the full experience. It was beautiful. Great video
Amazing . . . ! ! ! Regards from Montevideo, Uruguay, South America.
I am not sure I've ever heard this piece performed at this tempo, but... you do such a good job with every little detail that the tempo works! Just shows that if care is taken to capture all of the nuances and a committed performance,anything can be made to work. Very nice singing.
Magnificent interpretation !!!
beautiful!!
and wonderful!!
We were practicing this piece in high school concert choir when news of the WTC attack reached us 20 years ago today.
this sounds alot better than the one i just listened to... GREAT JOB!!!!!! we sang this song at the fall concert in 2008. its a beautiful song!!!
You deserve all the praise you have received. My goodness 29 pages 167.000 listens.

That's true. Only we really feel it.❤
I sang this my senior year of high school. Great song.
That video was wonderful. I love that song so much. Our choir did that song too! :)
We did this song last year in choir and here I am still listening.
XCELENT. Breathtaking! Thk u for the video.
I sang this in my high school choir and gosh it brings back some good memories☺️
Very powerful indeed. Hello there. At my high school we are learning this piece by piece. It's not too difficult but still a great song!
