I am so fortunate to sing for Dr. Ames here at Belmont University, in his Belmont Chorale. This is my first semester and we will be singing this song under his direction this weekend in Atlanta... today was the first time for me to hear the song (as I sang) and I could not help but weep. Never have I been a part of something so emotional, I could see and feel his passion as he directed us. God has blessed me so much to end up with such a Godly man to learn from.
I had the honor of being under Dr. Ames at the All state community college choir conference my freshmen year of college. That song touched everyone in our choir due to the fact of why that song was written. Dr. Ames has touched many people with this beautiful song!
i just sang this song (second tenor) for a memorial service of our church choir pianist for at least 10 years, she was a very special lady, and it just made perfect sense, fell in love with the song and will always remember her
I sang this 1st semester. I fell in love with it. The vocals are amazing and the Oh God, my God part is so breath taking. Cudos to the composer of this piece. It really touched me. =)
i just sang this song last night at all county chorus and this was my FAVORITE!!! i just love to listen to how will everyone's voices bland together and just listen to the message of the song....
were singing this at marshill honor's audition choir and the part where it says light it was beautiful the soprano's at the top were there but soft with out covering everyone else. i loved you guy's this is da best ive seen here on youtube you guy's are amazing
We sang this today at a concert of a choir made up of high school students all over the district. It's so beautiful I can't even come up with words haha
Yay! We're about to sing this song in choir. I'm going to be a positive person and not act like I know everything; that was very beautiful. I wish I was there.
This is very well done. When Dr. Ames conducted us it was a hair slower, but this is about what it should be. One can't sing this with the needed emotion if one isn't making it about their own situation... from the heart. Beautiful. Lux aeterna... lux aeterna...
Well, there couldn't be a better ending to the piece. With the title being "In Remembrance", the ending makes perfect sense. I can say that if any choir had ended there, I would have seen the piece as unfinished. The "Lord.. Mercy" part of the song is a final request to grant peace and eternal rest to those that have passed. The entire meaning of the song is packed into those last lines. Those last phrases packed with their chords effectively finish the song beautifully and convey its meaning.
Good performance, better than some of the others on TH-cam We sang this at the ACDA Western Division convention in Tucson earlier this year. Dr. Ames himself honored us as our director. Though the song is beautiful to hear, there is nothing quite like being a part of it.
My Director has met and shared stories of her meeting with a lot of the magnificent composers and if I remember correctly, she was actually at this concert. We sang this, although we did very well, not as extraordinary as this.
@bitesizedfan10 That's the marked tempo of the piece!! I'm performing it in choir right now. It seems a little slow to me too, but you want to do what the composer wanted!
@maddydancer777 Which All State Chorus were you in? The High School All State Chorus for South Dakota did this, and I sang bass. Any chance you were there in Aberdeen?
