Update! My mens ttbb choir, just performed this piece at the norwegian national choir competition. Judges loved the piece, so thanks to you, we got 2nd place!!
I had the privilege of performing this piece for 2021. Yesterday was the last time I got to perform this piece. Thank you for creating this amazing work of art.
I was so fortunate to hear this music, live. Your music, the MEN ensemble and Les Green transported me to a wonderful place, and I'm so grateful to have experienced it. You are a wonder Mr. Untersheher. (I shook your hand afterward when you were on stage talking to Les and I was on the main floor. Made my trip back to Silverton much shorter and more pleasant. :)
I heard Male Ensemble Northwest sing this live at this weekend at the Willamette Master Chorus concert in Salem. GREAT arrangement. It was even better live.
This score (and more!) is available at There are accompanied and unaccompanied versions. Here is the direct link for the accompanied version: www.reginaldunterseher.com/the-steady-ligh/
I am so glad you like it! The score is on my web site, which UA-cam won't let me link directly. It is reginaldunterseher(dot)com. Male Ensemble Northwest has recorded it, and that new album is due out any day. You can find them at menorthwest(dot)org
Love this piece!!!!!! Me and some boys from my school, Dillard center for the arts, is planning to do this piece.... wow i love how all the notes come together and the movements aswell^_^
Glorious. The time signature changes flow easily with the text. And . . . I love anything with a Picardy Third - especially with that C# - G# open 5th in the bass. When sung properly, that will make the floor shake! Excellent work!!
You can find the score at reginaldunterseher.com/the-steady-ligh/ and there will be a new recording available for purchase soon, made by Male Ensemble Northwest.
@@jazzmusictheorist tenors are usually C3 and above. Baritones are between F2 and G2 while basses are from E2 or D2 and up. Voice type isn't measured by how low you can go but rather how resonant and rich the note and tone is. Just because someone can go to an E2, doesn't mean that they're a bass, it's all about resonance and quality of the note. I'm a barritone because I can sing from an Eb2 up to a G4, but Im placed under baritones because the nicer tone of my voice lies between the G2 and E4. Even though I classify as "bass" and "tenor", my voice is more baritone simply because that's where my richest tone lies. Nicholas over here has a low range, but the nicer tone of his voice probably lies in his upper register, which is why he's classified as a tenor and not a bass, despite singing lower than what a bass usually sings. A basso profundo is a bass that can sing anything below a low C2 with resonance and tone. They sing their notes as easily as a bass would a G2. I strongly urge you to find out where your true tone resides since most of us guys technically fall under baritones since it's the most common voice type for men.
may I ask which library do you ise? I mean because of the text. Not all libraries allow the use of text. Is very well done! Not only the composition itself but the recording/production.

Wow. Choir director in Iowa here. Definitely going to be trying this with my guys in the group. Such a beautiful song, and wonderful text. Thank you.
The overtone at the end was subtle but amazing
We are singing this in choir :). I showed it to my choir director and she fell in love with the piece!
i adore the parallel movement in this - the chords are so stunning and the resolving passages work so well! beautiful!

This is lovely. Where can it be bought?
That low C# just gives me the chills.....as a bass myself I wish I could go down that low but unfortunately I can only go down to a low E
Going down to a low E makes you a Bass? I'm considered a Baritone/Tenor 2 for my rage. (D2 - G4)
@@nicholas19karr The low E is normal for a bass.....anything lower is considered basso profundo
@@jazzmusictheorist well, I don't know a lot about vocal ranges, but I guess.
