Lets's take a moment to notice how expressive they are and how they smile instead of being poker faced. It really adds to the joy produced by this beautiful piece. It is never disappointing to hear this group. Such talented singers and beautiful people. Bravo! :)
One smart choir director I know pointed out that singing is a visual art. Maybe an oversimplification, but the visual aspect makes an impact on the listener. And when singers are physically and emotionally involved, not in a phony way, they sing better.
I used to join a choir: when you smile while singing high notes you are going to reach them better. Our director always told us to smile while singing and it sounds much better when you do it.
@@aderiancreature8464 mine told me that I needed to make my mouth as tall as I could ... I grew up in Texas though so I think she was trying to get the twang out of the sounds we were making
I've been in a lot of choirs and it's usually up to the director to teach and tell the participants that expressions are a must. I wish more directors would teach this. Otherwise it's up to each choral member to really feel the music and show expression.
Everyone praising the choir should know that it's the arranger and DIRECTOR that makes each performance a masterpiece. There are beautiful voices nearly everywhere. But it takes immense talent and skill to pick the right voices to sing together, then train them, then conduct them for each song, - the volume, the tempo, the pitch, the harmonies, the facial expressions, the movements. You can see that this director is a sort of genius and has this choir in the palm of his hand. Long may he live!
That shot from behind the choir... Oh, it brought tears to my eyes instantly - having stood there for many years and also in front of André and those audiences. Love it and miss it.
What a gift, to hold such a service to Life, to God(dess), to Earth and the Universe - to the Heart and the Essence of (Wo)Man. What a big and worthy "Thank You" for being and loving and achieving. What a Prayer. What a bath in frequencies. What an initiation to students - to give their all in life. What a blessing. Thank you, André - and choir. This truly points to and aims at the realm above us, where we are all hopefully headed - be it the next and better level for us to climb - or true heaven. And it tells us: Yes! We can go there! We belong there! Let's go! Together!
These angelic voices and heavenly arrangements open a higher world for all hearts that know. I am grateful beyond words for your joyous grace and repeating comfort. Thank you from Germany. I so much wished to be able to visit one of your concerts.
i am a fan of Stellenbosch choir, i hope that one day i sing with the Choir or my child joins this choir. Their song arrangements are so African and on point. Thumbs up for the arrangers
Every time I hear this choir on the radio I have to either park the car on the side of the road or move to the passenger seat. Somehow they pull strings in my heart, stings I didn't know I had. This is a beautiful rendition of the song. I'm amazed
Nawapenda sana. Mnapendeza. Mwanangu atasoma huko siku moja inshallah. Karibu Kenya hakuna matata. I loved how you did "Baba yetu" Keep going. Mnapendwa.
This group of youngsters is so talented. Up there with the very best choirs in the world. The sound and recording does not do justice to this amazing choir. They deserve better.
Choirs are a true example of what the world should be. Everyone across the Globe should learn to sing together in peace and harmony then there will be a good chance the world will truly be a more wonderful and more beautiful place to live 😊😊😊😊😇😇😇😇😍😍😍😍😍😍 Love From Canada ❤️❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Wow wow wow... i spechless to hear this!!!! Amazing, i proud proud!! Stellenbosch University Choir! Greeting from Indonesia..!! I love this choir, God Bless you all 😇😍😍
I first heard this choir while listening to Baba Yetu, and the choir blew me away with their singing and their mastery of Swahili. The full choir sang the solo parts. Amazing. Everything they sing is special and moving.
I don't know why but this made me cry. It's just so extremely beautiful and to see how they enjoy singing this is just everything. This choir is definitely the best I've ever heard and I'm so glad that I found them
It is so beautiful! Could you please help me to contact mr van der Merwe or another contact where I can buy this beautiful arrangement from? I conduct a choir in the Netherlands where we would so much like to perform this pacticular arrangement. Please contact me at marianvanloon@gmail.com Thank you so much
@@marianvanloon Sorry for the extremely late reply. André is now selling his arrangements. I will just make sure who you must contact. Will let you know ASAP.
I am sure the majority feels that way, but like you say politics is the main divider. And makes it seem that everybody hates each other. Wich is not the case.
Seriously guys, what are you made of? Angels? Whatever you sing turns into a golden buzzer worthy performance! Everyone gives it their all, including their soul. It gives me chills. Beautiful! If you are ever touring the West coast of USA, count on me to pay you my respect in person.
I came across this song as sung by your choir- wow oh wow--I now listen to all your songs-what talent-what good looking and wholesome people, I love your conductor. Thank you for this. I listen everyday and Mr Legend would be so proud of you all. Love and Blessings from England UK.
This choir is really good i salute the choir members and the conductor. John Legend himself will be very happy hearing this. Congratulations to you all. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
You have no idea of how much your music has affected me. Especially the song Say Something. What a radiant ray of hope you are all with your singing unifying the world as one, and reaching deep inside each individual to touch their personal drama. Thank you for your youth, your song, and your hope. Keep painting songs for us to hear.
Can imagine how the audience are feeling seeing this live. The goosebumps would be out of this world.
Just listening with earphones gives me those, to experience this live would be beyond incredible
I would legit cry
I've had the pleasure of watching many of their performances they are superb. And Andre's stage presence is something special.

That shot from behind the choir... Oh, it brought tears to my eyes instantly - having stood there for many years and also in front of André and those audiences. Love it and miss it.

On which radio station please?
Beautiful harmonies to listen to and watching the choir brings so much love and tears

@@marianvanloon Sorry for the extremely late reply. André is now selling his arrangements. I will just make sure who you must contact. Will let you know ASAP.
How proud must John Legend be to see his music performed this way. He probably never imagined !
politicians are dividing us😢 this country can be one the best in the world if only......
Look how beautiful is diversity😍
Amen
AMAZING, thank you for such a simple explanation
what country are you from?
I am sure the majority feels that way, but like you say politics is the main divider. And makes it seem that everybody hates each other. Wich is not the case.
@@jocelyncams1826 South Africa
This is so so amazing. Their dressing is lit😁😁😁. This is so natural no instruments. In deed the human voice is the most powerful instrument.
Such wonderful voice of the beautiful angels. Isn’t it a precious privilege of being able to listen the great performance?
Love it
To echo so many other comments, simply beautiful. As if the original of this song is not already masterful, absolutely love this
