What I like about this song is that it starts out with two parts and then during the middle, it splits into three. I sang this in my high school choir. It's such a BEAUTIFUL song. These ladies did an EXCELLENT job.
I sang this with choir at music camp. I went on to sing as a solo for contest, and again during our spring concert. To this day, it's one of my favorites. So beautiful.
@@saysikern8180 Yes, but it's from the big sex poem part of the bible "the song of songs." Some of the imagery is ...odd. Would you compare someone's breasts to fawns? Or eyes to doves? It's quiet reasonably interpreted racially today ... but in the text it's more ... cinderella-y with the "love"'s mean brother's making her go work outside to work their lands making her darker than other girls. A modern racial allegory make sense today ... but it's possible that in it's time the working outside and becoming darker than the other girls would have been understood literally rather than figuratively and a sign that "my love" wasn't wealthy or has been through hard times. For much of history across many cultures the preference for fairer skin occurred WITHIN an ethnic group ... and was also related to class. A lot of the hard work was done outside in the sun which would have tanned and damaged the skin of labourers ... while the wealthy sat in the shade (notice that in white westerner culture tanned skin isn't fashionable until most work is inside and tans mean vacation!). Her lover, my beloved, in the poem is described as light-skinned, with dark curly hair with eyes "as doves" ... and with the trappings of wealth. So very cinderella-y.
I sang this at Mars Hill Choral clinic in 1990 😢 it was my favorite then and this melted my heart ladies !❤Beautiful music!
I sang this years ago in HS choir and never ever stop listening to this song. One of my favorites. Wonderful job.

Performed this piece this last fall, as part of my college's SSAA choir. Very well done.
I sang this in high school for IMEA. Loved it then, love it now. Lovely
Sang this in 1993 and it has haunted me ever since
Currently singing in a middle school choir. Love it
I'm singing this this year for Woman's Choir. It's a slightly different arrangement, from this; regardless, it's a beautiful song!
Emily McKinnon same, fellow phan

Is that Lacrecia Campbell directing?
..and then you find out it's about interracial sex :-)
it’s ab someone acknowledging that they are still beautiful with darker skin

Nice song. Work on diction and unification. Could barely hear the words. And there was like no dynamic movement lol
Leah FS I think it’s just cause the quality of the camera also it’s not a show choir lol although they could work on their facial expressions
Performed this all over the world in a n boychoir. As well as the. ACDA . They did their best. Not so good
If the boy choir was professional, then it can't be compared to a college choir. Also, this is a weird song choice for males, even if they are boys.
