  • I had to sing the first soprano in this song when I was in Glee (Chorus basically) at Clemson University, SC. It was my favorite song of the collection we performed. :)

  • Woo Alto 1's ? :P

  • I was in this, what a fun group of ladies we had!

  • The sop ones sound really tight, I would know b'cos I'm in a choir and I am a sop 1. And the vowels are not deep enough, so you guys are not blending properly. Anyway, good try(:

  • Vowels are quite rough and sopranos need alot of work ps MORE alto

  • It's good but it's too slow, we sing it more vivid. :)

    and also 1 sopranos are NOT good?

  • Gorgeous song...whitacre is amazing

  • beautiful sound....vowels are spread, high notes sounded kind of forced and through the throat, but over all incredible job, i love listening to this. very good job. keep singing!

  • this is my fav song of all time! especially since the Soprano 1s go really REALLY high

  • @OHLiVEUHisAHMAZiNG GO SOPRANOS!!!!!! We can break glasses!

  • i love love love this; was one of my most favorite songs to sing while in Women's Choire

  • Absolutely gorgeous. This piece is phenominal, and very difficult. Excellent job.

  • singing this for chior and i love it! go Eric whitacre!!!

  • i have to sing this in choir...its my type of song and everything. awsume

  • Just performed this piece today... NJ Region 1 Women's Chorus =]

    NJ Regions/All-State ftw! xD

  • I wass in thaat!! haha

  • ERIC WHITACRE!!!!!!!

  • oooo i got goosebumps throughout the entire piece. very nice job!

  • right now where learning this for chior and its pretty intence...i love it:)

  • heckkk yeahhhh texas pwnz!!!

  • This is a wonderful piece... very difficult to learn and have all the chords go together right. You all did a wonderful job with this piece.

  • ummm ya'll sound young. they didnt sound young this year!

  • ALRIGHT ALTO 2's!!!!!!!!

  • WOOT WOOT!! I MADE TEXAS ALL-STATE!!

  • omg i was in thisssssss

    such a good group, an amazing expirienceee!!

    does anyone else have videos of us??

  • WOOT WOOT ALTO 2'S!!!!

    Hitting F's like nothing!!!!

    YAY New York!!!!

  • oh wow,

    the vowels really were spread.

    it's good at parts, but I find it hard to believe that this is a state level choir.

    where are the dynamics?

  • They had dynamics... i have the music in hand now as i am typing and they followed right along as James joyce and Eric Whitacre wrote.

  • go texas region 19! and soprano 1's :)

    but sadly our womens choir didnt do this song for region, i was in mixed :) 16th chair haha barely made it! the whole dorchester canticles is amazing :)......and freshman rule!

  • choir nerds!! :)

  • Woo Texas Region 17 Soprano 1's!!

    we OWNED this song at Region a few weeks ago.

    :D

  • we sang that this year at all region, i <3'd it..unfortunately i only made the women's and not the mixed, since they take the top 16 and i got 18th, therefore i will not be moving on...but its ok, i have 3 more tries! i'm a freshman..and soprano 1's are the bomb btw! :)

  • soprano 1's are amazing

  • Woo Go Region 14 (Texas)

    Soprano 1's are better!!!

    I made first chair at District, Zone A.

    I made State last year. 6th chair

    And about the song, it was a little slower than I would have taken it. I can barely hear the piano, and nice English Horn! Alot of spread sounds too. Otherwise a great performance!!

  • Region auditions are next weekend with this song! I'm so excited/nervous. Region 14! (Texas) Go Alto 2s!

  • WOO-HOO ALTO 2'S!!! [Texas, Region 8!]

    Our region auditions were in September! All-State auditions are in January! I'm also excited/nervous lol

    Good luck!

  • I'm so nervous. I'm auditioning this weekend. Woo! Cantate Domino is a beast!

  • my choir is doing this song for our christmas concert

    SOPRANO 2!!! we're the REAL WOMEN!

    altos are the brutes, and soprano 1s are divas

  • i'm guessing you have sutherland... i do too. and yes we are the real women

  • omg, me too =] lol. The second I read the  Real Women comment I knew it had to be someone from Advanced Women's :] <3

  • Haha. i'm in advanced womens too :)

    lol just saying.

    go suth.

  • look, I appreciate your comments but please keep them nice and/or constructive. We worked very hard to get into this choir and worked even harder for the concert so please respect that.

  • I love this song.

    I can't wait till our region auditions. We're not doing this one, but I remember singing this learning it during the summer. Its such a beautiful song.

    -Soprano 1 bby! =]

  • @renthead1989 There's nothing wrong with constructive criticism to keep in mind for the future to give you an even better sound. I would be grateful for it. It doesn't mean you didn't work hard and it isn't already beautiful, but there is always room for improvement.

  • i tried out for region today in texas and oh my god

    i totally bombed this song.

    right now im anxiously waiting for the results to show.

    ALTO II :D.

    (p.s. D11-31)

  • What region are you in? I'm Region 3 and our girls did Alleluia instead of this.

  • Soprano two :)

  • texas SOPRANO 1!!! ....yeah bitches!!! ha ha made it through district, region should be interesting :)good luck to everybody else

  • Florida...Woot Woot Soprano 1!

  • Soprano II represent!

  • texas soprano dos ;)

  • my select women's ensemble is doing this for solo/ensemble. soprano 2!!!

  • soprano 2!

    what what?

  • hmm...this group doesn't really give this song the justice it deserves. vowels and such...but the song itself. ooooooh. *chill* creepy goodness. yay Texas All-State! Here I come!

  • Say whatever makes you feel better

  • I'm not even signing this for All-State (I'm a guy), but I still *love* it! I'm kind of teaching myself the piano part, but it's really k-razy lol.

  • Well I personaly sucked becase I didn't make texas all-state Soprano 2's ALL THE WAY!!!

  • ohh we are doing this song in our bella voce. we've only learned up to calling at grey moon rise. but im a soprano 1 and im soo excited, its such a beautiful song. (:

  • im learning the song too and it sounds great. it doesnt sound too abrupt for the style and it doesnt sound harsh at all.... oh and its a big help too.

  • My woman's advanced choir is doing this piece for our first concert of our school year.

    I'm so proud to consider myself a soprano for this piece especially.♥

    So far from what we've learned it's been magnificently beautiful.

    Our stopping point so far is at "Grey moon rise" before the piano stops.

  • The Texas All-State Women's Choir is singing this piece this year at TMEA. But no offense, but this choir does not sound like "all-state" quality - more like region or district. I love this piece, but I just wasn't feeling it.

  • I agree. I was too unfortunate to get to sing in the Texas All-State Choir because of my conflicts, but my friend is. The piano part of this song is just crazy.

  • I am singing this for the texas state choir auditions

  • OMG YOU ARE, TOO!??!??!?!

    SO AM I!!! How exciting! This is probably the best song in all 9 songs. I love it. I sing Alto and it's so much fun, I love the lowest note... Even though I'm the only Alto 1 who can hit it. xD

  • I'm so happy we are learning this piece this year for the TMEA all state choir. It is so beautiful.

  • thats true I have friend all over the country (millitary brat) and I have a friend thats done a piece like 3 times

  • go UTSA choir camp. in 4 days we sounded better than this . sorry ladies but texas is great

    HEY BURRITO!

  • Hey you went to the UTSA choir camp?? So did I! what voice part are you?

  • I did alto 1 but I have a huge range I go from soprano 1 to tenor 1 ( tenor is not only for men ok ladies )

  • Nice, Im a soprano 1! So youre definitely going to try alto 1 this year or what voice part are you trying out on?

  • alto 1 . I'm not gonna change the part I already know and be behind. choir camp would have been a waist. I'm gonna do dona nobis pacem

  • cool, i wonder how the competition is going to be this year...

  • soprano 2

  • wow! yeah you're right. this definately can NOT be texas!!!

  • I just got back from the Lamar All State Choir camp and our girls sounded like this

  • This song was amazing, sung by the girls at choir camp. I envy them.
