Nicely done! My dad was a Navy veteran of the Korean conflict. I miss him. Thank you for such a touching rendition of the Navy Hymn...and, The Battle Hymn of the Republic...
The penultimate version of The Chorale... that's saying a lot. There are so many versions of KCC /Bruffy conducting, but this piece: balanced and pristine, beautiful in ways only God can utter.
Love them both. I think Heinlein had a "space" verse "for those in peril" in one of his books. THe Battle Hymn of the Republic chokes me a little and I'm British. Dixie is a jolly tune, but there is simply no comparison.
It does truly sound as if it was properly in tune. The Wilhousky BHOTR does have some interesting notes for contrast - you may be picking up on those... Reference PDF: southhollandmasterchorale.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Battle-Hymn-of-the-Republic.pdf
I WAS THERE THAT NIGHT SITTIG UP IN THE balcony
Thanks for sharing, from a US Navy veteran and former acapella chorus member.
My tears have returned to port.
A stunning & memorable performance of this beautiful song.
Beautiful blending of voices. Amen.👍🙏👏

Heard Battle Hymn a thousand times but it still gets me every time!
especially the good arrangements, like this one! ...I have heard a few that border on treason.(IMO)

The Navy Hymn is a British song/hymn although I expect most Americans wouldn't know that
The Navy Hymn has got to be their most repeated piece, can probably sing in their sleep.
Was sung at JFK’s funeral
Is that piano tuned? I'm not a musician but it doesn't sound right. Probably just me.

I think the mic on this recording device is overwhelmed. Given the venue, I would expect the instrument to be well cared for.
