[Chinadoll1073]

[mrFridolin1508]

absolutely amazing....like this song...

[rippinsteo]

Thank you posting this video. There are now far more in numbers who can appreciate this wonderful performance than those lucky and wise enough to be there in person on that day.

[mzwhitney06]

Absolutely beautiful. Such an amazing director!

[mywoofer21]

PERFECT! in every way! we're doing this in high school, for competition in April. This has set the bar high....

[reflectionsglisten]

i lovee this

[MasterLiafi]

There are shameful numbers in attendance for such a wondrous performance!

[LAFOGLIADORO]

very good! I'd like to perform these songs with my choir. Where can I find them? thanks

[k3moy]

GREAT JOB!!

[mozart77]

Absolutely, brilliantly executed and performed, I've heard many choirs perform this but this is one of the best performed. The thing some conductors miss is the holding out of the chords during passing notes, that gives the song the magical tension and makes the arrangement work. I also love how the choir retarded and the beginning of the different sections also gave the piece a sense of variety as the only word in the piece is "Alleluia", great job, loved it!

[Obryanization]

I love this alleluia UTAH SINGERS ARE REALLY GOOD!

[monster6343]

I love the dynamic contrast at 3:17-3:20! It's my favorite part!

[moneyman1934]

Simply angelic! This song brings back memories of when I did this this in my high school choir. Keep it up :-D

[marcoorion]

A foretaste of Heaven!

[kenn607]

Beautiful! :)

[hedhuntr93]

One of the first pieces I'm performing with my college choir. Fantastic job,I can only hope we're anywhere near as good!

[dollartwenty]

just beautiful!

[melissat2788]

i love this song, especially for the ending of C major turned into C minor. The alto sounds so beautiful. And the 32nd bar into 33rd, I can feel the perfect "poco allargando." perfect!

[ferociousgumby]

They sound like an angel chorus. Gorgeous voices, great conducting.

[crazyjoe380]

wow... 180 people know what BEAUTIFULL sounds like.

and one person that dislikes this is crazy out of his mind not to believe this sounds beautifull.

[ArtsLaureate]

Kudos to the recording engineer. Who was it?

[chrisp9au]

A truly beautiful piece of music, and so beautifully performed!

Must confess I cried; now I have to find a way of getting my choir to sing this!

Thank you!

[belenfreddy]

WOW, this is PERFECT, everything was in there, I haven't words, just PERFECT, you"re reallay are amazing... congratulations,.......

[vilcolal]

De buena fuente sé que S. Pedro en el cielo los tiene contratados para dar la bienvenida (servicio externalizado) a los nuevos ingresos.

Son un auténtico Coro de ángeles que eleva el espíritu. Dulzura, armonía, paz... para entretenerse con cada voz si se puede.

[TheAllOutMusic]

@vilcolal simplemente impresionante

[TheRosepetal33]

Why would anyone need to post an ad on this site? Especially about online dating with strangers??? There are so many perverts out there....I guess there is no escaping them....even on a site that just wanted to praise the good Lord.

[autumndawid]

this is so beautiful! my high school madrigal group is singing alleluia, and i came on to youtube to find something to practice my part with. this is what i imagine the conductor wanted...precisely. down to each and every swell. you guys made me really understand the beauty of this song of just one word. i wasn't expecting that. so thanks!

[TheRosepetal33]

I found you on Easter morning but now I want to hear this a couple of times each day. It plays when I'm falling asleep and plays when I'm preparing for the day. Alleluia is not just for Easter but needed each day way over here in San Antonio, Texas!!! Thanks again for sharing your precious talent....

[joinchoir]

Lovely performance of an awesome piece.  I posted this to "Choir Directors' Brag Blog"

[TheRosepetal33]

I listened to this on Easter morning at 12:02 am. It was so beautiful to hear. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us!

[klebrenner]

[MrDuboce]

WOW...listen to the bass at 3:00..... Fantastic. Beautiful song, beautiful arrangement, spectacular bunch of young singers. Gorgeous.

[orquestrapopgandelmn]

Cantei essa musica no stbnb(brasil,recife-pe)sobre a regencia do compositor Ralph Manuel,no periodo estava estudando e cantando no coro sinfonico.linda musica. que Deus continue abençoando o seu servo.

[dlkulp]

HVCC my choir is singing this piece, I really enjoy it!

[Douglasems]

Listen to the bass voice at 3:00

[cocorm]

The best rendition! My favorite part is 3:15.

[jrs89]

Everyone does the damn Randall Thompson one. This is the best Alleluia. You guys nailed it.

[9sibra]

church empty...

[Sandraleinchen]

Wow, amazing performance...I don't think this piece can be sung any better. Wonderful.

[FRANMENDEZ80]

Espectacular, hermoso, delicado, sublime, Bravo Mr. Alred..

[mcangel308]

The University Chamber Singers at my school are singing this song this semester. It's beautiful. Your rendition is breath-taking. :)

[yumiwright]

Amazing. The climax brought me chills. I love the strong men section.

[yumiwright]

Amazing. The climax brought me chills. I love the strong men.

[desesperada100]

As an experienced singer, I think that this is, by far, the most musical, cohessive, well-balanced and pitch-centered choir I've ever heard. I've enjoyed all your postings immensely. Keep up the fantabulous work; and thanks so much for sharing it with us.

[kylgirl93]

great refinement! and a GREAT word!

[LoveGTV]

that was really nice

[timesfive5]

is there a way I can download this song? is there another good recording like this out there?

[UofUtahSingers]

@timesfive5 Our recording of this piece is available on our newest CD "Endless Song" which is available for purchase through our website and is also available for download on iTunes & Amazon. The CD was recorded entirely in Europe in churches and venues like this as we toured 7 different countries and competed at the Marktoberdorf International Chamber Choir competition. If you like this recording, you'd like the CD! :) Thanks for watching!

[lalaxaplaya2012]

@timesfive5 download the software called RealPlayer and you can download youtube videos then use its converter to converter to an audio file. That is what I do

[montax35]

Wonderfully beautiful arrangement. Chills and goosebumps.

[faisclan]

fainted @ 3:22

[tearsofthebeloved]

I sang this song with a choir in high school, and it is still my favorite song to this day. The arrangement is bliss, I cry whenever I hear it now! This was beautifully sang!

[nightweapon22092]

I loved singing this song for my chamber choir!!!! its incredible

[malouisel]

absolutely gorgeous =) i love this song

[Joerg122]

Simply breathtakingly beautiful !

[paolocampa66]

Marvellous piece (reminds me some Morricone's sounds). The best performance and rendition: I'm always agree with this great director. When & where will this choir come to Italy next time?

[arrozconzapatos]

One of the best renditions of this piece. Brava!!

[LLD009]

you guys did so wonderful everything was great...so love that song

[nathaliegabella]

Lindo! no lo conocía

[andiemusik84]

Que hermoso trabajo y pieza tan dulce...realmente....no la conocía...a pesar de tener una vision bastate ampli del repertyorio sacro...realmente bello

[jotaerrecandeia]

Que espetáculo ouvir essa tão bela música do professor Ralph cantada por tão belo coro. é um alento para a alma nos inspira a adorarmos ao Senhor Deus. O único digno de louvor e adoração. Ralph você é "fera".

[ragtimeguy1868]

This was a FABULOUS performance!! I remember performing Alleluia for our final concert my sophomore year of high school and we sucked stink weed in comparison. I remember Dr. Allred as well. He was the one who conducted our All State choir in 1996 in Elko, NV. He is an AWESOME music director.

[tahirek]

gorgeous!!

I love listening to your performance of this piece :)

Regards!

[ferdimlg]

great job! n always beautiful.

yes

i praise You, Lord. alleluia.

[Pebbe496]

A wonderful song, beautifully sung. It really sounds great in that church. Such singing must be exactly what they're built for. Lots of space filled with voices.

I love 8-part-choirs. This will become a favorite.

Unfortunately there seem to be few people attending :-(.

[Pebbe496]

Oh, and on a second note: Best part is 3:00. Soooooo beautiful, how it shifts to minor and the altos come forward and morph it back into the original theme... *sigh*
