For anyone doesn’t know the director or anything about him, short story: His 2 year old boy has congenital heart disease and his wife quit everything to be his full time care taker. He arranged this piece and FaceTimed her during this and we sang to her. If that’s not romantic I don’t know what is. #TakeNotesBoys 😂
He told us the story when he directed a county honors festival in my state. He was stopping us saying 'Give more raw emotion' 'Think of the love' 'This is written for her.' etc. The concert was beautiful.
Many thanks to you sir for your talent, hard work and commitment. 🙏 Do you still conduct? Do you take requests for future choir events? May I suggest or request the songs High Above The Seraphim and Nearer Still Nearer?
Thanks to whoever posted this. Now I will be able to relive this whenever I want in the future. Our director actually wrote this song for his wife and this was our choir’s first time performing it for her. I hope this song helped brighten your day.
I'm glad that there are people who post events like this because they are absolutely breathtaking and so beautiful to see and her and I'm literally about to cry this sounds so amazing. I hope to be a part of this amazing and wonderful once in a life time thing next year. ❤
Sometimes my phone will land on one of the practice tracks when it's on shuffle, and I still remember every word and harmony (except for Mount of Olives HOO BOY) but finding this was so, SO refreshing and honestly necessary for me; my self esteem as a performer has been lower than it's ever been recently... Being a part of such an extraordinary experience helped bring it back.
this is one thing about choir. i love how many people can sound like one. the astonishing sound of many as one is one thing tht only good choir groups can achieve and if they achieve it is spectacular. Love it. amazing. breathtaking.
This year was my second year at all state Colorado, and still this one song will live on forever in my memory. Thank you Dr. Caldwell for changing my life through this experience!
Two of my good friends were in this choir this year!! I had no clue it was them until I saw this video!! Thank you for recording this and giving me the chance to hear this gorgeous performance and a fun glimpse into a phenomenal tradition!! ❤️
This makes me miss my choir so much. We would take random trips around the school and randomly sing. Not as great as this masterpiece, but you can litteraly feel the love and passion linking them together (good singing always starts off with a good bond). They are absolutely beautiful.
I was just reading the comments while listening and honestly all the comments and the absolutely breath taking singing almost had me crying. This is so beautiful and I hope someday I can be apart of something like this ❤️❤️
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve heard in a long time. I’ve been having a tough month and hearing this somehow gives me hope. I guess everyone has with millions out of work. Thank you for sharing. If anyone knows where I can watch more of this group please let me know.
State is one of the best things to be apart of. You meet people just like you who love to sing as much as you do. And then everyone gets together like this every once in a while. It's amazing
Beautiful ❤️😍 and wow 😮😮😮😮 you all have spectacular voices that are as beautiful as the heavens . I love you all in the Colorado mixed choir you have made me smile 😊 on days I needed it most .
God this song is beautiful, and for whatever reason, it reminds me of band of brothers and the intro song, anyways, makes me get goosebumps every time I hear it
Christian Mundo we were surrounding the railings on every floor all the way to the ceiling. I was part of the bass section for this choir and we had a whole floor to ourselves and each ascending voice part had floors above us.
There’s one from years earlier. In Louisville students in town for the Kentucky State Choir sang THE STAR SPANGLED BANNER in the Hyatt where they were all staying.
Choirs of this magnitude are capable of seemingly impossible feats. 12 hours is quite a long time for a choir that already has such a unified dynamic and whose members can all read music. I was in an all state choir in both Idaho and there really is nothing that a choir like these guys CAN’T do.
I was in the women's group this year, and everyone went through at least 2 auditions to get to all state, and we were required to memorize 6 pieces of music in about 2 months. In the case of the women's group, we learned 2 Russian, 2 Latin, and 2 English pieces. It is a tedious process, but so so worth it, as you can see from this video. I loved all state so much! ❤
Vikki Wong honesty I didn’t really even mean to flex, It’s just that it was a group formed of 8 selected high school choirs in a place with stupid good acoustics. It’s the only thing I’ve done that’s like the video and hot damn I miss it. We’re y’all apart of that?

yes this was such an iconic moment, Dr. Caldwell was amazing!
wow that's incredibly moving, if performances in this resonant space didn't already make me cry
He told us the story when he directed a county honors festival in my state. He was stopping us saying 'Give more raw emotion' 'Think of the love' 'This is written for her.' etc. The concert was beautiful.

True story.
Is that a hotel? If so Imagine being a clueless guest and then all the sudden just like... Angelic singing
Just imagine being asleep at this time and being woken up to this 😂
@@mackenziemcgrath5484 "I'm not even mad, that's amazing!"
that kid kenzie I would love that actually
that kid kenzie lol have me thinking I died and woke up in heaven
Definitely a Twilight Zone moment. Just hearing angelic singing out of nowhere and thinking you'd died or something.
Conducting this group of young people was truly special!
I can’t imagine how surreal this must have been. A memorable performance no doubt!
Must be having a great time 🥰🥰🥰i just wish i was also present there🥰🥰🥰😭
My thanks to you! I remember singing with NC honors chorus. Miss it! Great job!!!$
I truly hope your son is doing alright bless you and your family ❤

Co Sch it did
Wow. Every time I listen to this, I tear up. It was such an honor to be a part of this choir. It's a memory I'll always cherish.

Oof dude Mount of Olives was a BEAST

Beautiful! Why can't I ever stay at a place that has this kind of entertainment?
I was just reading the comments while listening and honestly all the comments and the absolutely breath taking singing almost had me crying. This is so beautiful and I hope someday I can be apart of something like this ❤️❤️
The men really came for my throat @ the beginning😍
Makes me miss choir
Me too.....its been 50 yrs.....
So bad! So so bad! Lol
I get more tingles from this than asmr videos. Well done.
You know you got something good when even six months after posting, there's only 1 dislike.

Why cant my choir do amazing stuff like this
Gosh, all of these performances are just so beautiful
second level from the top, in the corner the camera is facing, yeah that’s where i am singing. MA!! HEY MA!!!! I’M FAMOUS!!!
This is the most beautiful thing I’ve heard in a long time. I’ve been having a tough month and hearing this somehow gives me hope. I guess everyone has with millions out of work. Thank you for sharing. If anyone knows where I can watch more of this group please let me know.
Yo... that was beautiful. I wish I could sing one of these one day. Except, I’d have to happen in Texas.

How could anyone dislike this masterpiece
yo this was posted on my birthday
2:48 is the golden moment for me. Such a lovely song :)
I already wanted to join choir as an elective at some point, but now I want to do it even more!
Wonderful velvet harmonies! Heavenly!
This is beautiful.
I didn't want to breathe it was too beautiful to hear anything else, even my breath!
God this song is beautiful, and for whatever reason, it reminds me of band of brothers and the intro song, anyways, makes me get goosebumps every time I hear it
Thank you for posting!!
Amazing hopefully me and my choir can do somthing like this in NYC
This made me happy
Wow.....That's really cool👍😭
Since we looooved...I have the strangest itch...
In this crazy complicated world this my friends is why we live. For just a couple minutes the world fades away
You guys did awesome!!! 😁
Sounds like Angel's singing Wow Chills again! ❤️
Dang! The ending though. 👍🏼
Are the singers in the railing or down in the lobby ?

Beautiful.
imagine how long they practiced for this...
We had only met each other 2 days before this so we had maybe 12 hours of practice at most

Imagine hearing a loud ass "Shut the fuck up I'm trying to fucking sleep here!" lmao
MY SISTERS UP THERE.....
Good god where is this?????
Downtown Denver, Colorado! it's the annual all state choir, all these kids audition from all over the state
Vikki Wong dude my college doesn’t have a choir and it genuinely upsets me being apart of this would be insane. Man I miss Carnegie Hall!
@@cjchaffins3299 u performed at Carnegie Hall? I can't even blame u for flexing that's amazing o_O
Vikki Wong honesty I didn’t really even mean to flex, It’s just that it was a group formed of 8 selected high school choirs in a place with stupid good acoustics. It’s the only thing I’ve done that’s like the video and hot damn I miss it. We’re y’all apart of that?
@@cjchaffins3299 uhmm I don't think we were. This is pretty much as epic as it gets for most regular choir kids here :+)
could someone please put this on spotify. as well as ubi caritas sang by them
If I was batman I would hire this all full time to just be at the front door when I walk in
I wish to god I had half the vocal talents of these singers. Unfortunately my singing talent is the equivalent of a coyote in a trash compactor
What's the name of this song
Imagine being one of the two people who disliked this
0:36 soprano is trying to be a director. 😂😂😂😂 always watch the Director. Otherwise, this was a fantastic job.
Whenever I enter the room
2 dislikes and its november. WOW
One dislike 😒
