I remember watching in the background in awe of the women's emsemble as they sang this. I remember being too touched to be jealous of their raw talent. Now I'm a part of the women's ensemble, after getting them to notice me, singing beside the same girls who inspired me to shine. And this is the song that did it.
Im and alto 2 i knowit is very hard, i was just pointnig out what i heard, i said it was very good, defintilly the best version ive heard on you tube so far.
also, theres definatelu a different aura that comes from just the ssaa rather than satb. i for one love the satb version, and am looking for a ttbb version, but this is a beatiful piece nonetheless.
@patmayonnaise very true , though it is nice to get a different feel of this song the version with tenors and bases does have more depth while this version feels light the whole way through
this song sounds alot better with bass and tenor in it, i was a bass in my whole high school choir and we did this as an alumni 2 years after i graduated and i fell in love with it.
At my school we are performing this song in are choir 1 group of sopranos 1 group altos 1 group teners and 1 group basses it sucks. well it sucks the way we have to sing it.
We sang this song in class the morning that my mom and i found my brother who committed suicide in his room . Before, it was a beautiful song, but now it means so much more.
Haha. YES. I crack up when the sopranos groan at a measly A below middle C. I'm like, "Ahh. Comfort range." I ADORE singing those chesty Gs and Fs below middle C. Heaven, lol. :)
@kifke3001 Me too! I am also singing this in my choir right now. Absolutely one of the most beautiful songs I have ever sang in any choir. It really makes my heart soar when I get to sing it with my choir. It's just one of those songs.
For my fall choir concert, this song was sang in memory of one of our alumni. Lee had graduated in 2006. He died on September 21st. RIP Lee. You'll always be in my heart.
I've personally sang this piece, and I have to say that the choir that sang this one was phenomenal. Not a single part stood out. Such blend, such warmth in the altos, such light sopranos! Absolutely beautiful. I actually sang a SATB version, and I have now fallen in love with the SSAA version. Lovely!
I sang this with a women's choir a few years ago and I never forgot it...I loved this song and I still do! And I actually like the female version better than the guys and gals version.
This choir is wonderful. My advanced women's choir is doing this for contest. I can't wait.

Yeah... I do agree that it is lacking without a men's chorus. However I'm a basso profundo and am biased (: It was very well done with women here.
