My younger son sang this in a select high school choir. Your Dad's creation is one of the finest choral arrangements that I know of. You can be very proud of your Dad.
I just have to say this is wonderful to hear... I was part of the original choir who sang this- Guy Forbes was my professor!! Every time I hear it, I think of Vespers 2007... I don't think it had even been published by that point! I am glad to hear you all love this song as much as I do!!
This is the most beautiful version I could find. I'm singing this in Carnegie Hall this weekend with my choir. I hope we can do this song justice. Guy Forbes is a wonderful man for this creation
this is one of the songs that made me cry so much. our chamber choir did this song and I was amazed how they expressed so much in this. This inspired me to join this choir and I gotta say...I am greatly honored to be part of the chamber family :)
I remember practicing this, and the moment my whole choir got it all the way through was amazing. It was so quiet after we finished, we all just looked at each other and smiled.
My choir is singing this song. We have had it for a week and a half, and we have it on words and preformed is, not completed, at a combined concert we do with the middle schoolers. I can wait to sing it perfected
I honestly did not know this was a choir song until now I thought it was just a band piece. Cause we played it for allstate but this was absolutely beautiful
Gorgeous! My high school chorus used this recording as a basis for what we should sound like a few years back. At the actual concert, the guys messed it up we messed it up :0( But my dream is to become a choral director and do this song with my chorus one day :0)
@SaraBodzin Hey! I went to Millikin!! I was there! (Probably not at the show, but at the school! :) You guys sound amazing!! Is this chamber? or U Choir?
well it needs speed control because this is not really a song that does entirely to much speeding up and slowing down and the last thing is use the "power of up"

The high note always gets me.... so pretty:D. We did this for our chorus and we all enjoyed it.
Sang this song about a zillion times with my choir. but enjoyed it more every time we sang :)
My choir is singing this song for our 2021 Christmas Concert. A beautiful and challenging piece! Gave me goosebumps! 💙
me too but 2022! being a soprano 1 in this song makes this so much more fun!

Hearing this piece makes me happy that I sing in choir at Millikin. Always fun to have Forbes as a choir teacher. :D
