This is the best rendition of this piece I’ve heard. Balanced and beautiful. I love what the first sopranos do at the end!
REX! So great to hear your voice again! I can't believe how much older we are than BYU Singers now!!! But it just sounded right having your voice with their sound. Ah, memories! Too bad TH-cam wasn't a thing "back in our day."
GOOSEBUMPS. Bravi Tutti!
My high school choir is doing this song for Baccalaureate and Graduation. My director played this is class yesterday and the entire choir started sobbing. Thank you for this.
I may or may not be on like my 60th view of this. Brought me to tears yesterday when I found this. What a phenomenal rendition. Just perfection!
Rex’s voice is a national treasure. ❤️
Recognized the brilliance of that Baritone voice of Rex's before I even looked up and the classic smirk confirmed it. Could listen to this piece all day. Hearing and seeing Rex with Singers again brings back some awesome memories! Except both Rex and Dr. Crane had more hair atop their noggins in those memories. Time flies. 😏
soloist's voice is gorgeous!
oh! haha. It's rex! I cast him in something about 20 years ago! lol. always loved that voice!
I have watched this several times over the last few days. Choir is fantastic and blends beautifully. The soloist has a brilliant tambre and sings very smoothly. Congrats on a great performance!
Singing this at my college right now and I am in love with it
Best rendition i have heard so far ❤
My highschool choir class sang this during Graduation, been on my mind since. It's truly a beautiful song
It’s my favorite new song sung by my favorite (and hopefully future) collegiate choir, composed by one of my favorite composers. Truly a gift of a song.
Fingers crossed!
Dr. Crane, what you've done with Singers is truly incredible! I wish I could come back to BYU to be in a group like this. Truly stellar music making!
This was performed by my brother's school chamber singers on his graduation day, and it was phenomenal. The young men and women of his class were extraordinarily talented, making that performance easily the best part of the ceremony.
LOVE! Thanks for lift today!
So incredibly beautiful!
I first heard this song this past week at the concert given by the Lakeshore Chorale in Kohler WI. What a beautiful song. I love this version as well! So beautiful!
A beautiful rendition!
I cannot imagine how good this sounded live if it sounded like this over TH-cam.
I heard this fabulous performance live and went home and bought a recording of it (from Meet Me On the Mountain album which is a bit more bluegrass style) and we’ve decided that at my husband’s funeral (which sadly won’t be too far in the future as he has a degenerative brain disease) we will play the recording as his casket is wheeled out of the chapel and we will encourage those present to dance and move to the music. He’ll be on his way! Unless, of course, the BYU Singers are available to come perform it live. We are in Utah County, BYU grads and big choir fans.
I can’t wait to sing this with my choir
I love this!
It’s just amazing, beautiful tone with soul!
Beautiful and spirited! I loved it!
Beautiful!
My men's choir is currently rehearsing a TTBB arrangement. (I suspect it'll be our closing number...to maximize its effect on the audience).
I did this with my choir for graduation last year. We thought it was kind of funny that it sounds like it's about death
If you look at many of the African-American spirituals that we have access to now, you'll find that many have to do with death and life after death. That comes out of slavery and the deep wish for a better life than the one they were subjected to.
Shawn kirchner's website has a very interesting explanation for how this song came about, I recommend reading it. He was inspired by a dangerous intersection he walked across every day to get to work.
❤❤❤❤❤
That’s my old violin teacher
Love the violin.
