- St. Olaf Choir "The Word Was God" by Rosephanye Powell; Christmas in Norway pbs.
Isaiah 10:27
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. - เพลง
The best version. Awesome. Articulated perfectly. You can feel the composers intent. Compound layers of the seminal phrase "In the beginning was the Word was with God, and the word was GOD. " The second section, men alone: was like a vocal gavel; absolute and unquestionable. Altos."all things were made"... Silken authority. Unity of phrasing. Rejoice Repeat, and listen again!
St. Olaf is beast this concert was the first i heard of them about 5 years ago on tv and my dad thought i was crazy for being awestruck and watching this long concert. It is so good glad i found them that night.
I'm so tired of sentimentality at Christmas, obscuring the mystery and power of the Word made flesh. This pieces captures the intensity, the excitement of the original evangel: Immanuel, God with us.
I was overwhelmed by the power of this recording. It opened my Christmas celebration to the perfection of God's plan.

Actually, the beginning of this selection is from the piece The Glory of the Father by Egil Hovland. I sang this with the CSU Long Beach chorus (under Frank Pooler) who premiered this work back in the 60s-70s. Interesting combination of these two pieces.
the altos were killing it at 1:00 !
Y'all betta sing! Don't make me get up out this bed! 🏃💨💨💨🙌🙏💃 HEY
Absolutely cracked it! Perfect timing and articulation. Excellent!
This is definitely the best recording of this I've heard
Magnificent!
Thank you for sharing this! It’s beautiful!!!
Absolutely gorgeous!!! thank you!!!
Such wonderful singing--as usual!
God is glorify
Alas; this recording is slightly mislabeled. It begins with the A section of The Glory of the Father by Egil Hovland. I am a fan of Dr. Anton Armstrong’s conducting as usual.
Regions chorus people start at 1:00
What was the opening section? I would like to order it. I found The Word Was God but not the opening
Anton used a segment of 'The Glory of the Father' by Egil Hovland before 'The Word Was God'.
"In the beginning was the worda and the worda waza witha God, and the worda waza God." I think Anton Armstrong gave them a performance note about pronouncing consonants, and they followed it just a bit too literally. Still, fantastic :)
Actually, the "uh" is written in the score.
It was written to be pronounced as it is
their sound bores me to tears. it's so limited in range and depth.
What do you mean? It's amazing!
Hold up! This piece absolutely cannot be shouted-it requires more sophistication than the hollering that people usually attempt when singing spirituals or other music by Black composers. I’ll say this; I generally prefer heavier timbres to lighter ones overall (think Russian Orthodox vs British boy choir) BUT the St. Olaf sound gives Dr. Rosephanye Powell’s piece a real clarity that it deserves. If you’re so horrified by that; than check out the Eastman School of Music recording of the same piece.
