That's not a tenor, that's a soprano.... I have never heard a tenor voice so beautiful. I'm sitting here with tears rolling down my face. This is the first time I have ever heard them and I'm so sad I haven't until now. Just speechless.
I am in tears. In 1995, on a tour with the Old Dominion University concert choir, we were all gathered as a group in the stairwell of the National Cathedral in DC. On a whim, we struck up this piece which was in our repertoire. It was ethereal, perfect and a spiritual experience, and hearing this version, sung with this perfection, takes me back there. It was one of the most spiritual experiences of my life. Thank you Chanticleer for this........
TEARS! I first heard this version in highschool when my choir teacher had our guys sing it and all of us ladies were JELLYY and in tears... you guys this will always be the best version... and you guys KILLED IT!
Too much reverb for me. The original's sound was more focused, and the soprano solo was totally unexpected. This arrangement is longer with 3 soprano solos. Both versions are brilliant, new singers, new recording technology, different venue...
I was in the choir that first sang Jim Erb's "Shenandoah" (from mimeographed pages!) in 1971. This is the most beautiful performance of it that I've heard, and I think Jim would have liked the additions to his original arrangement.
O M G!!!! CHIC, ELEGANT, TIMELESS, EXQUISITE, CHANTICLEER… I don’t know what it is about this song that touches me so much throughout my life… especially at low points. I remember hearing this on the rolling credits sang a cappella after watching a Civil War movie decades ago and it left me without words, which is a difficult thing to do. Again today I had it on my mind to try to find who this group was that sang the a cappella version on that soundtrack which I did not find. However, while listening to versions of Shenandoah ,which were sung cappella, there were many that were great until I heard CHANTICLEER. I was so unbelievably touched by their beautiful understated presentation which many times is most powerful…and then they begin…THOSE VOICES…I had tears in my eyes listening while they showcase the unbelievable range presented so effortlessly. I’m so grateful for your talent and the uncomplicated way you present it allowing the thoughtful arrangement to be enjoyed without distraction. BRING IT ON!!
So I’m a fan of BYU football, which just scheduled a game with the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. What’s a Chanticleer? Google led me here 🤣. Amazing sound 😁.
Chanticleer is a name used to refer to a rooster (that they don't know the name of or that doesn't have a name)...in the same way that people say Reynard for a fox, Pepi LePeu for a skunk, or Fido for a dog
This arrangement is actually comprised of two arrangements. The section from 1:57 onwards is from The LG Choral Series arr. James Erb. Not sure where the first part is from though.

My favorite a cappella piece of all time!
Still makes me cry, every time I hear it.
3:44 Adam is enjoying that suspension almost as much as us!
Beautifully sung!

Just perfect dynamics and control. Truly masterful.
Lovely! You gentlemen sound like one instrument, played by the same person. Lovely! 👏👏👏
This is exactly what I needed in 2020. Thank you
Sublime! Still makes me cry.
Heavenly sung...so beautiful.
Gotta LOVE resonant spaces

A beautiful song of longing brakes my heart.

spectacular
Perfection. Bravissimo!
My goodness. Goosebumps over and over!
Stunningly elegant and magnificent.
Just previewing. I'm seeing them live tomorrow evening. So looking forward to it!
no idea why I couldn't find this video for 5 months. seriously
nice
Dr. Erb's arrangement is the best. If you're so inclined, check out the performance of it in the ending credits of Oliver Stone's movie "Nixon."
What a beautiful rendition of this classic song. Where was it recorded?
Craneway Pavillion, Richmond, CA
@@winstontharp1840 Many thanks!
The dissonance in 1:41 is so memorable
No way that little guy opening up like that...wow

Put us in, coach!! Thanks for watching and for your words!
My team lost to the Chanticleers 🤦♂️. Guess they are multi-talented 🤣.

Mister jigglypuff at the beginning is just amazing
Anyone know where I can get sheet music ? 😩😭❤️❤️❤️

What happened with the original crew? Most of the current singers are new
At least three of them have been with Chanticleer for 15 years. Andy Berry is the newest member, in his third year. See their website and the bios.
1:32 is so pretty
The one person who disliked is a nerd
In all reality, this is an acapella video from a niche group. The ones who liked are in fact nerds. (myself included) the dislike is just a dick
I miss Eric..
I think it is great the group includes an Asian and an African American.
Ummm why wouldn't they? Entry is based on merit only!!!! Nothing else!!!!!
So sad thats what you take from this.
i stumbled upon a cd. for some reason not much of a fun
