Bogoroditse Devo - University of Utah A Cappella Choir

[lyricsmaker21]

highschool choir is singing this..ahh, lionheart.

[b58f18]

shit that crescendo gave me goosebumps

[OMGItsAllen]

Ours is slower and also in F. Still, brilliant.

[keinark]

@OMGItsAllen STaying in tune in F is so freakin hard. Kudos to you.

[trumank99]

the cadence at the end.......the low c for the bass.....i finally hit it in choral today....yay

[spiceyweasel]

We did this at UACCM. As hauntingly beautiful as it sounds from the audiences perspective, it sounds even more spectacular amidst the choir. Brilliantly done.

[JoeMuffinCollection]

I sang this at F.O.V and it was my favorite song we sang!

[dschaefer2]

The Rachmaninoff is not soft enough

[Ber1oga]

Гениально!

[Musiclovesnotdivides]

Amazing texture, colour, simply amazing bravo!

[pinkaholic106]

i'm singing this for a chorus concert ! but we're only singing the beginning :)

[namewaster31]

1:26 !!! <3

[moekayyali]

I sang this when I was in high school, both versions. Two of my favorite pieces I ever sang. Incredible.

[dutchyboy14]

my only problem with this is that everyone looks bored. I know its a slow and beautiful piece guys but get into it!

[jessicadelcolle]

omg .. that low bass note .. :D AMAZING

[bryan3550]

Fabulous on both counts!!!

[spoogeworthy]

I miss singing this song :) Twice the choir size, in a church? Took my breath away. Such great memories.

[Toboeable]

i loved singing this song for my school choir at clarkston high school! Go MADS!

[Ridgefieldmom]

Absolutely Beautiful!!

Imagine--Rachmaninoff wrote this in 1915--and after the 1917 Revolution, it was banned in Russia for the next 70 years (along with all religious music)!

Our choral group is doing this in next Sunday's concert. -- can't wait!!

[TarisWerewolf]

Very beautiful interpretation of both pieces. The Rachmaninov was a little fast for my liking. It didn't let the notes have their space and made some of the phrases (particularly the basses at mm. 20 and the altos at mm. 15-20) a little less beautiful than they could be by rushing through them to the end.

[amarincelt]

Singing this in my college choir. Love this!



[CaliCamar0]

Sang this song like 4 years ago in High School. I still listen to it all the time. I hope one day I will get to sing it again

[xboxman12321]

Like this comment if chills ran down your spine at 1:27

[painterizzy1]

My sister is doing this in choir for school and it sounds so good espically the base part (:

[lawlmattlawl]

[lawlmattlawl]

well...... i just blew my speakers from the creshendo.... go basses...

[ErinLH100]

chills. I loved this song when we did it in choir :)

[Musicaltenor1]

a bit fast! but beautiful!

[jbaillie]

Beautiful song beautifully done... And what venue is that, it's gorgeous!

[SaschaKokot]

One of the best Songs I ever heard and sang. It is quite difficult to sing it... but if it works as perfect, as University of Utah Choir sings, it's just beautiful and awesome.

Nice work, boys and girls from Utah! :)

Greez from Austria

[corporalsnark]

The first time I heard this I nearly started crying. Best crescendo ever.

[navillusleahcim]

@corporalsnark me too! :,)

[SuperKinderina]

@corporalsnark So do I!!!!!!!!

[bubbalicous01]

Best I've seen on here so far. Mad props!!

[IceAngelKaoru]

I did this song in high school with my chorale. It is still one of my favorites!

Great job, University of Utah choir!

[sasha00r]

I am Russian and this is one of my favorites. 

[violinmadness]

I sang this at my music teachers wedding when I was 14 (bass) I'll never forget that day or this peice

[godalmightywtf]

Weird, my school's choir only sings 2:25 to 3:26

[Born2loveHorses]

@godalmightywtf haha my school's choir only does 0:00 to 2:53 ! haha thats weird

[balloonabouttoburst]

@godalmightywtf They are two different songs

[IrishSinger18]

Lovely!! 

[Kimian111]

Beautiful!  Makes my heart pound.

[moneeky1]

Wonderful! My college (Providence College) paired the same two pieces for our tour to Russia in 2007 -- love them both!

[MIJX15]

You sound amazing. Great dynamics. Keep it up.

[Panhead1922]

We did this song for choir this year, I would have taken this song much slower. So much more fun that way.

[catena92]

a music perfomance is like a theater action - you have to be inside it, to live it. especially a choir performance, and especially when singing the russian sacred music - it's always full of a theater like action. the "Vespers" by Rachmaninov is a "syphony work for the choir", every turn in the score is very significant. but very well done on the university level. thanks!

[emorygal]

I used to sing this song with my choir here. Those altos had an absolutely beautiful and rich tone. Amazing job!!

[direnzin]

wow

[usmccutie11]

thislooks like UofI

[misslovelyrachel]

very well done for younger peformers.

[animegirl804]

I love this song. It's so beautiful! I can't wait to work on it some more in choir! [^-^]

[toneant]

i loved how you combined the piece arrangements...both gorgeous!

[banjowalle]

This is truly an awesome performance. We were inspired by you, putting the Rachmaninov piece down to E instead of F in our own performance. These two pieces by two great composers represents tradition of the people, hoping for love and salvation.

[jen975318642]

great song. :D

[SarahEthril]

So beautiful!!! Well done.

I'm now looking forward happily to when my choir sings this at our concert next week. ^^

[NSLV527]

I was listening to this while listening to this during Barack Obama's address to the nation today and it worked rhythmically amazingly well with the speech. It was very nice.

[beansprout46]

my choir is singing this song this really helps cause im S2 and never knew how it was supposed to sound! But i LOVE this piece :D

[MrScooter007]

YA BASSES!!!! the part ater where the altos come is amazing

[TheFlutegirl15]

its not that distracting, i think it looks nice. now if she had a big ole flower or something then it might be realy distracting.

[MusicServantxX]

I LOVE this song. You guys did so amazing

[nashaflydivacharles]

Absolutely beautiful...don't have the words to describe the beauty in the sound and quality this choir has!!!

[TheFlutegirl15]

a beautiful song, well executed for such a large group

[tinkwink92]

Breathtaking!!
