I've seen Revelations once, years ago. It remains one of the most memorable dance performances I have ever seen. It's wonderful to see excerpts available on TH-cam.

A masterpiece thankful I saw them when they came to my town.

What’s the name of this version? There’s a very similar almost identical version with a woman singing instead

[@lorenzacoleman9210]

This is the original song. Jamison changed it when she was director. I like this one better.
