Bravo 👏!! So incredibly well done (and I’m a stickler especially on this song since I performed it in 1982 Connecticut All-State Chorus and again at Yale Wolsey Hall). And so wonderfully conducted; broadly large and grand! Gave me chills like it should …sublime!! Thank You!!
It was around the same time for me. I fell in love with it then and, to this day, I'm still in love. I've instructed my wife that should I contract a terminal illness, a recording of it played by my bedside, will help my transition from flesh to eternal spirit.
This is absolutely beautiful. I sang this in College and loved doing it then, but this is SO well done it ought to be part of Orthodox Christian liturgical singing. Absolutely the best interpretation I could ever hope for with this piece. Bravo!!!
Absolutely divine....a beyond perfect performance of one of the greatest choral masterpieces!
Yes… it truly is!!
Superbably done. I was part of an ensemble 50 years ago and sang this. Admittedly, I am singing along with the video lol
I always told myself that if I was in a position of power, I would play this song to keep me in check.

Simply the best version of thos choral masterpiece on UA-cam. Bravo!
I also sang this about 50 years ago in high school choir. It is one of two choral pieces that I remember the most. So beautiful.

Same, my freshman year in college 1971- 1972 but was drafted into the army that summer.
I, too. Choose Something like a Star is another one for me.
Lovely! This is the perfect size group for this beautiful piece-it’s is executed perfectly, very well done!!!
😍👏🏾 beautiful from beginning to end!

Gottes Segen
The piano was a bit too loud but other than that, this was beautiful! We sang this when I was in college and it always brought forth tears and praise.
But helpful for an accompanist learning the piece and appreciating being able to hear it done well! :)
@@jilliemc Very true!
