Y’all sang that! Impeccable rhythm and syncopation. Crisp, clear enunciation, and impressive dynamic execution. Adolphus Hailatork has created choral works which should be rendered by every choir, because of its challenges with cross voicing, technicalities, and exercises in tonality and control. Maestro Hailatork’s music is written and inspired by the heart and soul, and every music should sing it as such, not just as a piece of music. Bravo! 👏🏽👏🏽🎶🎶
I will support HBCU's till the end! Without them our musical history and traditions will be a thing of the past. Well done Dr Hayward!! NSU much respect. Your Brother Across the Pond HU 00"
Beautiful setting of Psalm 117--gorgeous phrasing, lovely dynamics, good diction--you can understand EVERY word--and it sounds like the harmonies split into five or more parts throughout the anthem. Praise the Lord for beautiful choral singing that highlights what trained voices can do!
Well, in response to "dapor06" and "RNathiel Dett", I find that while both choirs are of HBCUs, they hae similar yet different focuses. Morgan, because of its history under Dr. Carter, focuses more on show-stopping with a full-bodied, more operatic sound. While Norfolk has the ability to do it, I find that they have more versatility to perform music from ALL musical periods, from Renaissance to 20th/21st century. From conversations with MSU member Colin Lett, MUS'd have much problems with that.
DAPro06 To be certain I do know my choirs from Howard, Hampton, Morehouse, Kentucky State, Fisk, Tuskegee, and more. Nathan though and eccentric was fantastic and did a lot for the image of all Black Choirs. But the Morgan Choir projected a gospel image for the most part and was not accepted by the choral community at large. It is what another reviewer referred to. I hope you can accept an opposing opinion or allow me to have one. They have gotten a little quiet since the death of Carter

This is beautiful and all the different skin shades are so cool. And such dignified faces.

Wow. That NSU Choir is the bomb! Morgan Who?

Nice. But Shout For Joy will always be the greatest gift from Hailstork. Followed by "God of Glory Thunders" and "Break Forth".
