Our high school choir (Grossmont High School, El Cajon, CA; Don Hubler, director) performed this during my senior year (1970-71). It was the single toughest number we attempted during my 2 1/2 years in choir, and I love it dearly.
I performed this at USDAN in 1981. It has been a very long time since I've heard this. Brings back a lot of memories and love the music. I believe I have the recording on cassette somewhere. Funny, there are parts we did not do, but the majority of the piece is there on this recording.
So glad I found this. I performed this with the University of Florida Concert Chorus in the 1980's. It's been running around in my head for the last few weeks, so I finally had to find it and hear it. This is the best performance I've come across.
So did I! UFChorus from 1982 - 1986. Loved this piece and always remember Dr Gribsby and amazing accompanist named Randy who played the very difficult piano part!! I sang it again at Peabody Conservatory and again years later with USC in Los Angeles. Love it and never tire of it and a recording is hard to find!!
And based on the name Amy, I bet we knew each other. Won’t do full names on YT, but If you are the Amy I think you are then know that I still describe your voice as uncommonly beautiful! It was memorable.
Good singing with nice enunciation, but as often happens with this piece the choir loses the battle of the bands with the brass. Could be the problem is with the recording method, but it's more than likely the composer's overblown writing for this type of ensemble.
Performed this at Western Michigan University in 1986 or 1987. A great work that is becoming lost like so many classic choral works. Being replaced by mediocre, culturally diverse choral music, especially in our college and professional music programs.
Ive been looking for this!!!
What a wonderful musical discovery...thanks for sharing 👍
Wish they listed the brass players.

I'm delighted to have found this! I performed it in community college a million years ago (late 70's maybe?) and loved it. Hard to find a recording.
Best performance of this I've heard. Definitely a piece that should be done more often.
