This is by far the best rendition of this arrangement. I cry every time I listen to it.
A love for a woman that could never be. A heart broken that could never heal.
We live in a
Fallen World
we song this in high school .. its been almost 40 years.... .. it just came into my mind and i had to hear it. it was so beautiful and touching then.. and still beautiful now.
I miss my high school choir so much 😢❤
I miss mine, too 😢
Me too 😢
The UNT Music department is recognized internationally as one of the best, especially the Jazz Band ensemble....their performances are always moving and beautiful.......I am proud to be an alumnus.....
Years ago, I worked for a local cable company in southern California and we videotaped a choral concert by a prominent high school in the area. They performed this song as part of their show. It is the one song that has stuck with me since then. Simply beautiful.
One of the “cleanest” performances and interpretation of this work. Simply exemplary.
Beautifully performed. My favorite arrangement; you can almost see the water flowing.
You can hear the river rolling
I sang the exact same arrangement in a choir over years, and even if it was a pain to study, it sounded so good our conductor regularly shed tears during rehearsals and concerts.
Play this at my funeral and ill wake up and shed a tear
😂😂😂 I love this
pro trick : you can watch movies on Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies these days.
@Edwin Zaid Yup, I have been watching on flixzone for years myself :D
@Edwin Zaid yea, I have been using Flixzone for since december myself :)
@Edwin Zaid yup, have been using Flixzone for since december myself =)
My wife and I sang this in choir in 1973 at State. We came in third, but we felt we won! Absolutely beautiful arrangement! ❤❤
I sang this same version in high school at a music festival. Funny how you can remember something so vividly from 1992 or 1993....
Same. Class of '92 here.
I sang it at a festival 10 years earlier. Love this arrangement!
Same I sang this in high school
all of bass singers know that sometimes notes are more important than words and these guys get that😂
I love this song and this rendition is beautifully preformed. My love of this song comes from my own history with it when I was a young man and a member of the Massachusetts All State Choir. We performed it in Boston Symphony Hall to a full house in the spring of 1970.
We are singing this in our choir class and just hearing us all harmonize for the first time is so beautiful
If you were trying to make us cry, mission accomplished- in the most beautiful and uplifting way possible.
i remember singing this my freshman year of high school. this song is truly a masterpiece and one of the top songs I have ever sang in my long choir career by far.
I’ve played this song in numerous ensembles throughout my high school and college careers. It’s my very favorite song and I sang it to my daughter as a lullaby every night when she was a baby. This brings back so many memories and makes me weepy. Beautiful performance.
i was only in choir for one year in high school so i could go on the choir trip and i am not a good vocalist. but we performed this and i really loved it. 15 years later, it knocks my 7 month old son to sleep every time 🙂
Your blend is astounding. Great voices. A wonderful piece of music. Thank you.
Absolutely astonishing!!!What a peace and what a choir. Southern Brazil hugs for all of you.
I wanna tell the universe that they should all listen to your voice right now ❤️
This song takes me back to my a capella choir at Red Mountain High. Such wonderful memories ❤
Discovered this song after losing someone close and it was and still is my go to solace ! So beautifully performed and damn near perfect! Bless this lot !🙏
I remember singing this exact piece freshman year. It really took me back
This song single-handedly made me drive 11 hours to Virginia and embark on a 3 day hike in Shenandoah park
I feel the same way! Thankfully, after many years far distant, I live a bit closer now. Definitely on the near term list for a trip. I will put on headphones and listen to this gorgeous performance while standing at the banks.
that's really cool
I loved hearing that!
We were supposed to sing this for our choir concert in the spring, before it was cancelled for COVID. just being a bit nostalgic :) (also this is absolutely lovely)
Quelle magnifique interprétation! Une pièce beaucoup plus difficile à chanter qu'elle n'en a l'air, mais ici rendue à la perfection et avec la fluidité d'une rivière qui coule son chemin... Merci!
This has been one of my favorite songs. It never fails to leave me boo hooin. Every time.
Beautiful! I have always loved this song. Remember singing this piece in high school ❤
It is a most haunting piece of music. As an Englishman , who has never been to America. This sums-up to me the birth of of a young vibrant nation that; inspite of its faults, contributes so much to the world . I do have an affinity to America. More so , then Europe. Then I did live in England during WW2....
The unison at the end = exquisite
I first heard this James Erb arrangement in a recording/video of the Choir of the West made at Pacific Lutheran University in the 1960s. It is stunningly beautiful. The UNTC choir performs it perfectly. Thank you.
Beautiful, just how I remembered it when i was in choir!
Very nice. I sang this song years ago with a male choire :)
This song goes hard
Perfection. My HS select choir rehearsed this song many many times, but never got it polished enough for performance. I've been looking for an arrangement close to the one we tried to sing and this is it. Finally, after 22 long years, my searching is done. Thank you so much.
It saddens me that these songs are not taught as much as they used to be
My favorite song, sung SO beautifully. Thank you!
So blended
What a beautiful arrangement, wonderful singers too.
beautiful
Beautiful!!!
Superb performance of this great American song
Hauntingly ❤️💕❤️ Beautiful
The superior arrangement! All others pale in comparison. I remember choking back tears while performing this in my HS choir.
Awesome! Simply Beautiful!
Sang this exact arrangement with the Keene (NH) High School a cappella choir under the great Jean Nelson. Never forgot it.
This is most excellent in so many ways! Thanks!
This is very softly amazing 🙏🎼💖
Beautiful harmony...

My favorite song I've ever sung with a choir

I always love hearing this song.
Love this performance!!
I too cherish singing this in choir back in high school… ❤
The University of North Texas Choir tributes the souls we have cherished and the souls we may soon come to know.
Brilliant job! This brings back so many memories from High school! 👏 👏
Beautiful just beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful!! I love this piece. Not sure what year it was but one of the choirs I sang in did this piece as SAA. Absolutely gorgeous music from this choir...and A Cappella!! Bravo!!!
Beautiful performance! Beautiful,
Absolutely beautiful
Stunning. Absolutely one of my favorite pieces:)
Beautiful--perfect restraint.
A beautiful rendition of this and a stunning performance! I would love to have the lyrics of this one. This piece is unique in that you rarely hear the same lyrics. If someone would be so kind as to print the lyrics I would be most grateful. Excellent work, Univerisity of North Texas A Cappella Choir and Director Hightower!!! Most excellent indeed!!
So wonderful.
🎼💕Nec to song 🥰shenando💕🎼
This makes me think about the music auditions that I’ve had to do which almost always have this song
We used to sing this in high school chorus
Gorgeous performance.
Love this arrangement the one and the only one
This is the best shanedoah I've ever heard. ❤️
This is how it's done......
Did this song in high school, both in Iowa City and at International School (Hamburg) honor choir in London, way back in the 80s. Beautiful, beautiful version. Thank you for the nostalgia.
WELL DONE!!!!
I will always choose Shenandoah for its' simplicity and beauty.
Perfect!
¡Qué barbaridad! Realmente fabuloso.
Beautiful! Magnificent!
Lovely!

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
아름다워
This reminds me of a great cowboy movie I saw when I was a child…. But I just can’t recall the name…
We did this in school.
😭😭😭❤️🔥
this is exactly what I came for
O shenandoah 😔
I was practicing this song and had a really loud voice crack, never recovered btw
1:30
🥰
question. when a choir sings like this, is there any rhyme or reason concerning who stands next to whom?
"Texans always move them". Robert E Lee
Very beautiful, but the consonants could definitely have used more attention in the beginning.
