@chipsandsalsa506 This text is absolutely religious, but coming from a music educator myself, it is almost impossible to pick songs for public schools that are entirely free of religious ties. It is not that your teacher is trying to make you believe everything that the song is saying, but rather that by singing a variety of music, including sacred music, will ultimately give you the most well-rounded music education.
@CharlieBladeRemus I looked, but couldn't find it... i think you can get it on iTunes... i have the CD and the DVD of their concert with that tune on the program...
moses hogan,,, never met him but i got to sing with brian stratton but this just doesnt feel like moses hogan songs i know and i learned from people who knew him its just to white for me they just dont feel it and ive sang raw mic no mic on stage in the street this just aint it but it still sounds good i want the altos to give a little more power and the sopranos to quit straining but what do i know im just a farm boy
I like the build on the call and response on "deliver daniel from the..oh yes he did" something wasn't quite locking for me with the trio and at 2:38 she was flat..
The Bible says God's ways are beyond complete human understanding. You should read the book of Job in the Old Testament. Job and his friends explore many issues like the question you asked, and God's response is mind blowing.
Very interesting interpretation... I think it's more dance like.... I have the recording of this spiritual performed by his Chorale; that was more intense/dramatic and faster tempo! I liked that performance... Well... He was an arranger, thus, it was up to him to interpret his own arrangements the way he wanted...
I`m a conductor for a mixed choir in Norway. I would very much like to have this great arrangement of this song. Is there some place I can order this sheet?
@ingunnsolem I usually buy music @ JWPepper[dot]com. Sheetmusicplus[dot]com might be another option... I guess these companies ship to Europe.... Is there any local sheet music dealer in Norway?
@MrChoirfan Hi! Thank you for answearing. I found the sheet on Sheetmusic plus. I use thid site often, but I could`t find that arrangement in a seperately sheet, just together in a collected sheetbook of several negro spirituals. So I am just waiting for that sheet book, I look forward to it a lot.
Hi, I am conductor of one Church choir in Belgrade, and I would really like if someone could send me sheet of this composition. I have some arrangements but they are not as much that good es this one. Please help me...
It's always great when an effort is made to bring the music of Moses Hogan, and especially the often-unknown Negro Spirituals, to the masses. For that, I applaud this group.
I simply do not like the styling and interpretation. It is not necessary to sway as if singing a midtempo gospel song.
There is this stench of "Negro Spirituals, by the cast of Glee" which is unwelcome.
This song is of a biblical proportion. It requires urgency, passion, and drama... not cute, bubbly, airy, pop.
@PAboi00: As a matter of fact, I do know music, furthermore I know Moses Hogan music. This was a travesty. A watered down version for a mediocre choir who's members couldn't sing the song as written. So they used this remedial version and tried to pass it off as original. I'm sure Moses Hogan turned in his grave from this faulty rendition. Human ears should never be subjected to this tawdry, flimsy and soggy attempt at music. In closing, a spiritual, should have spirit! This lacked that!
@preslaysa614 I feel that when you say that this song lacked spirit, it is more because you (and me for that matter) are unaccustomed to seeing this KIND of spirit on this kind of song. I agree that this rendition of the song is atypical for Moses Hogan Music; his music was written for classical choruses, and yet there is something admirable about what they do. I guarantee Hogan is not turning in his grave; he had an administrative say in the running of this choir, and approved of them.
Absolutely amazing! The connection between the conductor and the singers is what every choir should aspire to. The feeling of singing in this type of choir is truly unique, something that I believe everyone should experience.
All you haters clearly lack the skill and talent to make much judgment. That was BRILLIANT I TELL YOU! I do think the Black Sop is Anika Noni Rose: look her up if you don't know who she is. I'll tell you this She is popping hard and taking charge. Honey she done Broadway, films, musical, cartoons, extc... She DID THAT!
I'm going to have to agree with what others are saying, they didn't do justice to this song. I don't feel that moses hogan would like it either. The Sop. was off BADLY!!! They do not need to do this song again.
1) When Moses was alive he was on the advisory board for this group, he knew what his songs sounded like as sung by them and he approved.
2) This is the raw sound recording for a music video of the same song that was filmed by Bravo TV. The produced version sounds much better, and if any of you haters out there heard your own voice in raw, recorded by hanging choir mics from a live performance, you wouldn't sound have as good.
First; I just want to say: this is an excellently sang version. It is however markedly different from the way these spirituals were originally sung. The way Fisk Jubilee Singers & Wings Over Jordan sang the spirituals is more obscure and growing more obscure. The vocal timbre's, the feel, the conviction, the commanding presence of that chorale sound cannot be recreated.
@Jubel06 What are you saying? Have you ever heard a Moses Hogan arrangement of an uptempo spiritual? Go get a CD of the Moses Hogan Chorale and listen. Let's also discuss vocal technique that was taught in 1930 and 2010...Its a different style of teaching now.
@preslaysa614 Yes. It's called "interpretation". It's very popular in choral music. I know, they should really sing all spirituals the same way, don't you agree? >:)
I show this clip to my choirs to demonstrate focus and attitude. So often, choirs are either focused OR active. This is a great combination of the two.
This interpretation is genius. And I think it's really rich of some of you to say that you've done better when, firstly, you don't know what you sound like yourself when you are performing and, secondly, these guys are a professional, payed choir. Stop hating and enjoy the music for what it is.
I do not like this version at all. its actually funny! I have sung this before and agree with TrevBroadway that its like smacking the composer when doing it like this. I hated that sopranos high note at the end, very out of tune and ugly!
Das beste was ich seit Jahren gehört habe. Die Interpretation des Liedes ist Moses Hogan sowas von gelungen !! Ich bekomme Gänsehaut, wenn ich dieses Video sehe. Gott sei ihm gnädig. Im Himmel spielt er bestimmt die erste Geige ;-)
This is a dumb argument. They sounded hella legit. And I'd love to listen to your choir sing, crazyblackman421, if you'd be so good as to direct me to some videos.
It's not a dumb argument at all. You probably think it's dumb because you have nothing to add...so there. And my choir has some vidoes on here I believe.
For all you people who gave my comment a thumbs down...YOU'RE STUPID and must not have too much musical insight. Okay yeah there were times when they sounded okay but for the most part of the song they sounded eight muthafuckin' way of crazy. And I don't know what that director was doing but it obviously wasn't directing. It looked more like interpetive dancing or something.
And you don't even know what college choir I'm in. So maybe you need to hear us and then listen to this mess again and you'll see what I'm talking about.
i listened to your bang my sister kentucky state choir..you guys are horrid...your choirs vibrato creates enough false dissonance to make a person with perfect pitch go deaf
this is an interesting interpretation of this piece. it sort of reminded me of a male accapella group with the sort of style this group took on. i liked how it brought some pop aspects. very cool and creative.
only critisism is that the tennors were a bit flat in a few places. other then that amazing dynamics and blend!
I think this excellent , I am so glad to see a group singing Spirituals, Two things I did noticed that bothered me, 1. I didn't see any mention of Moses Hogan ( the Arranger) and 2. the ending the sop. 1 (part of the trio) was a little flat on Ever-ry - actually the entire group went flat. Other than that - I Loved it !
They are spreading the vowels, sopranos very bad. This isn't a pop song so quit singing it that way. The sopranos act like they are copying britney spears.
You would be right if this song was written anywhere in Europe. However, this song's basis is in Negro Spirituals, in common people, so using common, slightly more spread vowels is completely appropriate.
They are a tad flat, this is true, but it is NOT for ANY reason because they use too much vibrato. That is an opinion i'd expect from a white tower scholar who insists on controlling every bit of the voice: that's why people who sing with straight tones never have a career past about 30, their voice is shot. They were flat because they were attempting to emulate a style appropriate to spirituals, which can involve coming from below in moderation.
Really? I love the way the tenors executed "Hallelujah"..by it being a negro spiritual I thought it added a different texture.
It's funny you commented on that because we sang this in our university choir and i was just thinking that our director would have NEVER let us get away with that "Hallelujah" lol
It is just dependent upon the arrangement, but in the original first arrangement (not the original composition), the "Hallelujah" was attributed to the soprano.
I'm a South Korean. My family have stayed in B.C. Canada for 1 year. Watching TV, I came across this awesome song. Hastily videotaped a little part of this song. Today I replayed the tape. Still it was stunning. I searched on U-tube. I found exactly the same video. How can I have my own Asian version music viedo DVD? Until get 1, still I can enjoy on u-tube!
this was so good! i love this song especially this arrangement

this is an interesting interpretation of this piece. it sort of reminded me of a male accapella group with the sort of style this group took on. i liked how it brought some pop aspects. very cool and creative.
only critisism is that the tennors were a bit flat in a few places. other then that amazing dynamics and blend!

Not to mention that they are from Toronto, Canada, not that that has anything to do with their voices.

I think this excellent , I am so glad to see a group singing Spirituals, Two things I did noticed that bothered me, 1. I didn't see any mention of Moses Hogan ( the Arranger) and 2. the ending the sop. 1 (part of the trio) was a little flat on Ever-ry - actually the entire group went flat. Other than that - I Loved it !

It's a lively and a very authentic presentation of the song. It lifts you up. This group is amazing and they sure have there own style.

They are spreading the vowels, sopranos very bad. This isn't a pop song so quit singing it that way. The sopranos act like they are copying britney spears.

Each choir has its own set way of singing...haha. And I honestly think it sounds better this way, lots more emotion in the music

are you judging based on the rules of classical european music or the tradition of the american negro spirituals ?

It was good, jus bad diction. And singing on wrong vowels...sorry.
shawtrumpet08 2 years ago
You would be right if this song was written anywhere in Europe. However, this song's basis is in Negro Spirituals, in common people, so using common, slightly more spread vowels is completely appropriate.

don't like the sopranos after 2.30....out of tune because they have so much vibrato

There is so much wrong with this statement.....
They are a tad flat, this is true, but it is NOT for ANY reason because they use too much vibrato. That is an opinion i'd expect from a white tower scholar who insists on controlling every bit of the voice: that's why people who sing with straight tones never have a career past about 30, their voice is shot. They were flat because they were attempting to emulate a style appropriate to spirituals, which can involve coming from below in moderation.

wow! this is nice!
tenors: i think this could have been better if you executed the "Hallelujah!" part with a lighter register of voice.
but overall this one is good! kudos to the trio! they are great!

Really? I love the way the tenors executed "Hallelujah"..by it being a negro spiritual I thought it added a different texture.
It's funny you commented on that because we sang this in our university choir and i was just thinking that our director would have NEVER let us get away with that "Hallelujah" lol
Vocellist2010 2 years ago
well we have different opinion man... though i realized then that that's the negro style... and the part of hallelujah was appropriate. ^^
darkangel10001 2 years ago
that hallelujah was written in

I know it was..I'm talkin about "how" it was sang
Vocellist2010 2 years ago
It is just dependent upon the arrangement, but in the original first arrangement (not the original composition), the "Hallelujah" was attributed to the soprano.

I'm a South Korean. My family have stayed in B.C. Canada for 1 year. Watching TV, I came across this awesome song. Hastily videotaped a little part of this song. Today I replayed the tape. Still it was stunning. I searched on U-tube. I found exactly the same video. How can I have my own Asian version music viedo DVD? Until get 1, still I can enjoy on u-tube!
