Dorian 07 Choir (River In Judea)

[IPray4TheComforter]

Starting at 3:52... jaw dropping... beauty beyond description... All Praise and Thanks be to God

[DestinySoultamer]

It's great to listen to this. I also enjoy reading your comments. It warms my heart to know that you are all saying these amazing things about the song my actual relative wrote. In short, this is simply a work of art through voice.

[moochypoos]

I absolutely LOVE this song. THE best choral song of all time.

[3773Jesse]

my choir sung this in grade seven in a 30-40 person choir. i begged my teacher to let us sing it again in grade nine and she let us and i got a solo and the song was part of the reason we got gold.

[waitingformypopcorn]

Sang this in chorus. I don't think it's possible to forget the lyrics even if you haven't sang them in a while. I love this song. It gets to my soul.

[singanddance4life98]

i sang this in my all county choir! we are only middle schoolers, but i believe we did great with this song too! i think this song sounds great with any choir! GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!! check out our all county choir on my channel :)

[1957Dancer]

HOLY CRAP! THATS AMAZING WERE DOING THAT SONG AND OUR SAPRIONES CANT EVEN SING THAT HIGH!

[hopelesslyinsane]

My choir director would be so mad to see them reading off the music.

[emmgr2]

we're singing this in my class cuz my director knows one of the ppl who wrote it.

[1957Dancer]

WOW THIS IS AMAZING!

[tahaste]

It was 1995 when I sung this song and to this date I can still sing both male parts. I will never forget this song.

[Nealboy0]

this is my school's choir alumni song! i just graduated and i cant wait to b able to walk up and join my old friends in song

[smceo28]

i love this song so much...but the drummer makes me laugh :) 2:00

[93Sheck09Love11]

i sang this freshman year of high school. this choir is by far better :)

[barkingtree88]

This brings back so many memories....

[prankmeplease]

7 people drowned in the river in judea

[lifewithmesarahmarie]

@prankmeplease Haha! That's horrible but funny. Lol.

[durjit]

that scuzzos guy if fucking retarded. He should take the penis out of his ears and listen to some good shit. This song is pretty good though.

[Region13man]

I think this is the best rendition of the song i've heard so far!

did i spell rendition right?

[momo19521]

A most gorgeous rendition of a great song....

[only2god]

I love it

[litttlepwas]

AMAZING. You guys did a really good job.

[peteyweirdo]

beyond astounding, I am learning this in my middle school chorus. i absolutely believe this is the best song our director ever taught. =)

[sydney53rd]

I recognize the CFL @ Luther. That's my home town. Ironically, I was in vocal Dorian in '91 at the CFL, directed by the great Weston Noble. We did this song too, but with the entire group. ( I assume this group was a selected few out of the whole lot?) When I was there, we totaled 1200 which filled the entire auditorium. Your recording brought back some great memories, thank you so much for posting this!

[Coleneef]

OMGGGGG I wish my Choir sang this song as good as yours. we only had a day to learn it

[aridexxa]

we're working on this in my chorus and i wanted to see how the final piece would turn out. y'all did a great job ;]

[nancydrew333]

I love this song its really beautiful...Love ur video. I'm singing this in choir. and i too live in IA.

[dembones17]

since this song was "bastardized" by our middle schol choral director for so long, my high school director decided it was time to do it properly haha.

[deskjet4]

so beautiful! i sang this in 1997 highshcool

[meccafighter]

i sang this back when i was in my elementary school choir

[kmbergan101]

i live in Iowa and i gotta say it seems like the best choirs are from there. My choir (mason city high school concert choir) was the only choir in america selected to travel to spain last summer to perform. And iowa has the Music Man :) one of teh best musicals ever! i love living in "River City"

[makayla281]

@kmbergan101 i go live in iowa, i think it is true, i go to benton community schools

[litledevel15]

[EmilyMay207]

[famous9n9the9future]

is this Dorian in Iowa?!

[gorn1120]

I sang this for 4 years. I wish i had songs of my own to post.

[Gallettes]

This is absolutely beautiful, and I like that way you pronounce Judea with a long e! I googled this song because my church choir sings it every year at the WC Handy Festival in Florence, AL. It is wonderful! Anyone in Florence for Handy, come to FUMC Florence on Monday night (every year mid-late July).

[bridwyguy]

I remember singing this in choir almost 15 years ago. It is one of those songs that sticks with you forever. Thanks for posting.

[volcomlilly]

This song is one my most favorite songs in the world! You all did an incredible job w/ it; it's much better than everything I've heard before :) Your vowels are so pure & it sounds greatttt. Thank you so much for posting this, because I love listening to it! :D

[EmeryFelton]

I sang this in high school. It's always nice to be able to find a song exactly the way one sang it on youtube. Sometimes I look up songs that I sang in chorus and they're always too fast or too slow or the voices are just weird when it comes to the solo. You just want to remember the song as you sang it, you know? This song was perfect. Thank you for sharing.

[dancerxluv23]

HUGE GROUP!! well done.=]

[Bitzybabe967]

[leamodanielzueras]

i've performed this song 3 different times on stage with 2 different choirs, the last time being my own high school graduation. even now, 8 years after i first heard this piece, it still makes me cry.

[ShanezMusic]

this song was fun. I did it my senior year in high school at the bachaloret service.

[DvusDolphin]

magnificent!!..I fell inlove with this song when my son's HS Choir did it..was the first time I'd ever heard it..A standing ovation they got!!..

[candygirl9327]

[mishekent]

We are currently singing this song in our honor choir.

[BartSRQ1]

[nowayOommm]

i sang this song like 2 weeks ago i love the tenor part

[YoGurtLovEr12]

im singing this song in choir at my school

[TheHarlan57]

You guys have a GREAT blend. We're singing this song in HS choir. Love it. And it's the same guy who did the lyrics for Newsies (Jack Feldman), which makes it even better!

[munnonockspirit]

I don't supposed there's an MP3 of this I could download? The only version on iTunes is this jazzy piano solo and it sounds NOTHING like what the song should be (i.e. THIS. Y'ALL ARE PERFECT!)

[LadyIslay]

I've made an .mp3 of this recording.... is that what you're looking for?

This version is a choral arrangement by John Leavitt, published by Shawnee Press. The song is by Jack Feldman with words by Linda Marcus.

[munnonockspirit]

That would be excellent! :)

[ArchieLover911]

the beginning of this song is the best part in my opinion. :)

[HeyyKittyTV]

Were doing this piece in our high school choir this year. Were working on it now and we do NOT sound too good....

But we'll get better and sound as good as this im sure :]

[MeMagMe]

I love this song!

I sang it in 7th grade chior and in Shoquoquon chior!

I love it soo much!!

[Gochoir]

I remember singing this song at a region concert in Galveston during my senior year of high school. That was one of the best experiences in high school for me!!!

[Sparkledew111]

Beautiful!

This almost brings tears to my eyes beacuse my choir just sang this for our las concert. We nailed it, and so did you.

Awesome!

[Nesha86]

ha ha we had to sing this at the end of every spring concert at Lexington Middle and Senior High School!! Its the song that the seniors got to lead and Mr. Mabe and everyone cried at the end!!

[MultimusicianX]

EXCELLENT! the choir at my school is singing this and i am playing the piano! this is sheer brilliance, and i think the arrangement is the exact same!

[Tigermania08]

very nice job! im used to hearing Ju-dae-ah  instead of Ju-dee-ah but excellent performance!

[ilovelucyrox22]

yeah, we sing Ju Dae AH too... :]

[brennuh]

Hahaha thanks for the comments! This was a camp that anyone can go to in Iowa. It's for all the performing arts (Band, Orchestra, Choir, etc.). The instructor wanted us to say joo-dee-ah instead of joo-day-ah.

[sunsmiles84]

on a recording they sais joo-die-a

many pronouciations

[Rocketmna92]

@brennuh I have heard this song being directed by THEE John Leavitt (composer of this AWESOME SONG) and it is Joo-dee-ah!!

[BMW1003]

[Kaity1294]

We had to do this song for a concert.

It was really pretty, but this performance was okay.

No pun intended!

[Cosmo2165]

amazing. we have to do this for our choir concert.

[addyt86]

It's Ju-Day-uh...and it's a very beautiful song

[thisgrlLuvsHOTguys]

Ha we are laerning this song right now in choir!! its for corral fest, im an alto!! and this is Such a pretty song, i love it! and you guys did AMAZING!!! I got goosebumps!!! congrats! ;)

[fantasymist]

Funny thing is, when this was performed during the summer camp, the director told us to say jew-dee-uh and the same director told us to say jew-day-uh later when we sang it at Dorian Festival!!!

[6x9equals42]

Chalk it up to temporary insanity... if we tried to pull that "Ju-dee-uh" nonsense, our director would smack us until we did it the other way. (Not really, she's too nice. But it would be justified.)

[Hunchbugy]

nice job, however, it sounded like half were singing ju-de-ah and the others were singing ju-day-ah....very nice otherwise

[hsmbp]

This was well performed. You sounded beautiful!

[PCTechView]

Ju Day uh when I sang it

[wrmspatriot]

Awesome!

We're singing this at festival.

[caligurl12kns]

i think it is really good

[rbellamy976]

honestly u do not need the lyrics and its called dipthong judayuh judayuh our chourus has only been working on it for one day and we no offense are better

[caligurl12kns]

wow that was rude...and it is called river in judea.

[bluediamondxo]

it's like ju-daaaay-uuuhhh.

those people/you/whoever those people are need to work on rounder vowels.

sounds like a bunch of rednecks pronouncing those words.

disgusting.

hard to take seriously.

[BogoOnDeGO]

isn't it pronounced ju-day-uhh instead of ju-dee-uhh?

[meghan7474]

no its definitely ju-dee-uhh,

[shalk165]

sharks are beter u guy suck

[obeast17]

I sang this 3 years ago at the Western Districts Concert of MA and i fell in love with the song i so wish that I could sing this again with a choir of 200 it was amazing

you guys did amazing on this beautiful song that everyone should either learn or listen to

thanks for sharing this video

[Jainjme]

My choir teacher Mrs. Szeles influenced my life more than ANY other teacher I have ever had. Now, an amazing 14 years since I was in her classroom, this song still makes me realize why music is in my life. Mrs. Szeles, if you're out there, As we sing once more, Once More.

[usernameaeo]

It's one of my favorite songs that I've ever heard any group/choir sing. It's so beautiful, and one of the only songs I can remember from 10th grade...

Excellent job. WAY better than some other "Concert Videos" I've seen. I'm not choosing favorites here; I'm just speaking my thoughts. Great job.

[peacelovejonas57]

fantastic job!! 5 stars!!

by the way, to most people who commented below me, no one cares if your school is doing this song, to be perfectly honest. if you're gonna comment on someone's video, do it to congratulate them on a job well done or tell them what they can do better or whatever. don't brag about your own insignificant concerts that no one from youtube will go to.

[alaina796]

my choir sang this last year and we totally rocked this lol we are a choir of about 40 and we sounded awesome

[SporadicLove]

I sang this a few ears ago [tenor - only girl lol] this sounds pretty good. some vowels could be better but nice job

[squicciarini12]

hmmmm i think that a good chorus doesnt need their lyics to read off of.... also i think its kinda slow but good...geat job =D

[JoeJonasLuvr1495]

it was pretty good but my choir sounded better singing it

[munnonockspirit]

God, this has to be one of the most beautiful songs I know, and you all sing it soooo welllll.

[emmacool2000]
