did this piece in the 2011 NYSSSA group in New York Ferdonia. we were all crying at this point

because after that song, we wud b saying goodbye to eachother. after a wonderful month of getting to kno such wonderful and talented people. this song is so beautiful and brought us all together as one.

i love this song so much, i was in the 2011 regional chorus festival in PA, im from springfield PA so districts 11 and 12 and we did this song, so beautiful!

I did this my senior year in high school and my director would have been furious if we took that many breaths!!!! And there were definately places where it should have been mp-mf and not f. like when the sopranos join the tenors...waaay too loud. and the ending was extreamly painful to listen to!!!! There were only 3 of us singing the C and it was enough sound to balance the rest of the choir. there were too many in this choir and it sounded like a few couldn't support the C well enough.

O.o wow i remember singing this song i cant remember how long ago it was though :( but it was really pretty when the choir i used to be in sang it :)

Beautiful performance and awe inspiring. I wish our concert choir had this type of sound, its been a difficult piece to memorize.

This would be so so much more beautiful if the entire song were legato. the breathing after every phrase really kills the beauty. my school's choir is doing this and our director has us hold every note for its proper value, staggering our breaths.

this was the worst allstate song ever.

This piece is so beautiful, my band almost played it but we decided on Irish Tune instead :(

Wow! Thank you. Our choir is preparing to sing this song on the 13th. This is really a help to see just how it's preformed.

I'm glad it helped. Good luck on your performance! It really is a fun piece.

I would agree, super job, especially from the bass clef. one of the better vids on youtube.

[ladysnapey]

Thank  you! Thank you very much.

Super job by the men of the chorus. However the sopranos were ill advised to take that optional high C at the end. That was pretty painful, especially since the rest of it was so nice.
