I Carry Your Heart With Me - Choir Singing EE Cummings Poem Set to Song

[kuchiharu]

One of the best choirs I've ever heard! The soloist's voice was magnificent, the accompanists were fabulous and the blending of everything together was just... just... glorious!

[singFOREVERxo]

i was in the choir that this song was commissioned for. <3 ecuatalian's comments were correct. :)

[lightz1234]

I'm going to be singing an arrangement of this song soon with my high school choir! (Even if it's the woman's choir).... I hope it's just as awesome sounding as this is!

[Sageman101]

what calls for it to be so fast? this is a piece of a love so pure that it it transcends time and distance and this rushing through it makes me think the narrator is just blowing off the feeling. yes the pitches are there, but they are the equivilent of a hammer hitting a nail you must have musicality in every pitch to make it worth the beauty of your voice.

[colombiankid819]

phenomenal voices, amazing. however i think the song is better off slower. and the r needs to be flipped and I needs to be pronounced "Ah". but besides that. amazing. solo = A+ nice high A

[ViciousGlee]

this is probably my favorite song i have ever sung for choir in my life...

[SaxyMan93]

Wow... I love the arrangement that uses the words in and out of parentheses as point and counterpoint. That is beautiful.

[Musicnut1416]

I really love this choir's sound... I am just concerned about the vocal production. Even though a warm, round sound should always be the focus, high school voices are still considered young and shouldn't be pushed to far towards a darker model. I hope that the students are not pushing down on the larynx or creating tension to create this sound. Beautiful though...

[Tan1723]

Gosh, how many pitches can you have in a note? Way too much virbratto...

[eplison96]

@ecuatalian27 THANKYOU FOR AGREEING WITH ME!!!!!!

[eplison96]

im sorry but there is a reason why i hit the dislike button.its because he is rushing it therefore you cant enjoy it.This text is supposed to be heartwarming and supposed to say something not being thrown around like this group is!!!!! SO ALL OF YOU CAN GET OVER YOURSELF BECAUSE IN THE TEXT IT SAYS THAT THE QUARTER NOTE IS EQUAL TO A 76 IN TEMPO!!!! THIS IS RUSHED!!!!!!!!! JUST RELAX!!!!!

[SX55555blueredgreen]

its so fast! calm down :P

other than that, it's AMAZING

[ethand108]

Beautiful song and what a talented soloist! I give her an A++

[riku92mr]

This is absolutely incredible. This is my favorite chorus song of all time, and I can never find it done to my liking... but this is perfect. Well done. :)

[Jessloveschocolate11]

Wow, this blew me away(:

And my chamber choir is doing April Is In My Mistress Face

[Riverdanceninjo01]

I read this poem at my brother's wedding. I thought that it was the only one really worth reading at such an important moment. When I heard this at my school, I almost cried. It's beautiful

[hisgirl5708]

beautiful :)

but yea..my choir is doing this song right now (ITA) :P :P

[luvyaDC08]

oh my goodness these guys are good! and theyre in high school??????? i go to a small school in nebraska and were singing this and we have probably twice the singers and you still sing louder than us. and the violin?? i have to play the solo on my flute because no one at my school plays violin so um ya that violin player shows me up.
