Why doesn't have this video like a million views, especially worth it. I mean you have videos from people who talk bullshit all the time. If you compare that with this video. it's unbelievable. It's just a piece of heaven!
I won't mock. But I will point out that the mormon church gave millions to prevent gay marriage happening in CA. That wasn't very nice of them. And if their anti-gay rights behavior opens them up to criticism, that's the price they pay for their bigotry.
Love this !!!! AmAzing! :D the boys voice is a bit anoying and his breathing is all over the place, but hey hes a kid dont expect him to be perfect :D i love it :)
This is an exquisite LIVE version. I have heard many groups do this song. My compliments to Kurt Bestor. This is great! I used to listen to "Music & the Spoken Word" every Sunday, until Craig Jessop left. He made the choir into such a marvelous instrument vocally. His sense of line and tone were wonderful! I heard the later performance of "In Dreams" when the boy soprano was slightly older. While technically better ( and he did not sway) the loss of the "choir" signing was rather profound.
@BassoReichert I totally agree... Mack Wilberg is one of my favorite arrangers of all time, but Craig Jessop as a choir director is immensely superior. You can really tell the difference now; it is still amazing, but it's a subtle difference that I came to notice over time after Jessop's resignation.
Hmmm....I just arranged and composed a couple of songs here. They have nothing to do with religion or dogma. Hopefully, they will please those who listen, but I don't expect all to like them. That's life. It would be nice to have folks adopt the old adage "If you can't say something nice...." Seriously, what good does it do to mock, disparage, and ridicule. It certainly is the opposite of what was intended in these two songs.
Why are we arguing about who believes what? Let's just forget about everything else for a moment and enjoy the music. I'm sure music can be shared amongst on another whether your Christian, Mormon, Jewish, Hindu, Muslim and whatever else (don't mean to leave anyone out). Sometimes it is not about what you believe.
why do so many anti-mormon trollers exist? there is so much that is unreasonable. why does every one shout CULT whenever anything to do with the Mormons shows up anywhere? do people go looking for this stuff just to sound like a hater? and all you people who's favorite word is cult, maybe you should look up the definition some time. and realise that every religion EVER (including atheism) is a cult. every. last. one.
So grateful to my Father in Heaven for ears to hear beautiful music like this. Grateful for eyes to see the graceful sign language version sung by this beautiful childrens choir. May we all be more thankful for the things we take for granted each day and may we treat each other more gently as Christ did.
Awesome. I loved the movie series, so I appreciate this. It is sad to see that good posts like this seem to also expose the self-righteous and cynical side of humanity.
@troybrad how could it be a different jesus. Unless there's multiple sons of god called Jesus Christ who did many miracles and died on a cross. Instead of being so narrow minde, Look on both sides of your argument and go get a real Mormon or go to the church and ask questions instead of believing some websight, cause everyone knows the Internet tells no lies.
Mormons are Christian. The church is called "the church of JESUS CHRIST of latter day saints" the same Jesus that gave his life for us, the son of god. And Satan/lucifer was an angel fallen from the graces of god. Instead of learning about a religion from a web sight or a ex-Mormon, how about you get it from an actual source like the people that are members or from a Lds church.
@troybrad : LDS Mormons believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, the Savior and Redeemer of the world, and endeavor to follow His teachings and example. Peace.
@rippinsteo Thanks for sharing what LDS Mormons believe but the fact is they are still not Christians. The Jesus you believe in is not the one from the Bible. The Mormon Jesus is the brother of Lucifer, and according to LDS teaching, he married several of the Marys of the New Testament. He is not, to the LDS church, "God incarnate" as the Bible plainly states. Clearly, the Mormon god and Jesus are not the true.
@troybrad It's extremely sad that you don't know what you are talking about. "According to LDS teaching, he married several of the Marys of the New Testament." I've been a member of the LDS faith for years and never once have I heard that. The leaders must be hiding those fact from those of us in the church and just sharing it with those who are not.
@altorock13 What is sad is that you are a member of the Church of Later Day Saints and don't know your own doctrine. I encourage you to do more research.
@JonasViotto25 They (the Mormons) call themselves that so that people (like yourself) are falsely led to believe that they are Christians too. I encourage you to do a bit more unbiased research to find out the truth. The Mormon Church has very good PR/Marketing to make others believe that they are mainstream Christians.
This is far from racism, it's helping others to see the truth. Racism would be blasting them for their beliefs, I have not done that at all.
@troybrad I entered in a mormon chapel several times. There is one near to my house. According with what I saw, if they are not christians, hard is to find another religion who can be intitulated as.
Therefore, I can call your comment as racism, because you use lies trying to mistreat these ones. It will not bring you legal problems, but your intent is clear. Try to attend at least one of their meetings before post another comment about.
@JonasViotto25 You said you entered a Mormon Chapel. That's the same as me saying that I entered a Mexican Restaurant and now understand everything about their culture!
The Mormon Jesus is the brother of Lucifer (the Devil). Christians do not believe that Jesus is the brother of the Devil.
Please do more research before you accuse others of being racist. I do not hate Mormons, I just do not believe in their beliefs.
@troybrad Well, saying that Mormons are not Christians is to recognize that it's you who needs more research. One thing is your point of view, which I respect, no matter how much I disagree. Other is the true, which do not accept interpretations, like 2+2=4. Like this last one, there are just two possibilities: Mormons are Christians or are not. To these two statements, one is TRUE, and the other is LIE. There is no oppinion applicable. And the TRUTH is that Mormons ARE Christans.
@JonasViotto25 , your comment makes no sense at all. Did you know that it was a human being who CREATED Mormonism?
I know the truth...Mormons are not Christians. Mormons claim to be Christians in order to make their cult/religion seem more mainstream. Did you know that they only allowed white people into their religion for hundreds of years? It wasn't only until recently that they allowed non-whites into their cult/religion.
@troybrad Nevermore but this one: in the Holy Bible, the book of Acts teach us that before Cornelius, Gospel was preached only to jews. A revelation received by St. Peter taught him from that moment, gospel could be preached to gentiles also....
I do not know about black and whites in mormon religion, but if you said is true, isn't different that happened w/ gentiles and St. Peter, and never made the earlier apostles lost the title of Christians because of it.
@troybrad Mormons can be whatever they want to be, that's what religion is. You can believe whatever you think is true and should not be persecuted for it. And secondly, many common religions are started by people who are said to have received revelations from God. That's exactly how Mormonism started, and it shouldn't receive persecution just because it started a little more recently than all of the other religions. Try looking up all of the other religions, they weren't started by angels.
@LIttleColonialDolly It is true, Mormons can be whatever they want. My statement is that they are not Christians, they call themselves Christians but they are not. They (Mormons) call themselves Christians to make themselves more "acceptable" in mainstream America and the world. It's all part of their marketing ploy. They are not Christians. They are a cult. Why have so many former Mormons left the Church of Latter Day Saints? Because they have found the truth. Case closed.
@troybrad, Well dude, I'm a Mormon and I believe in Christ whole heartedly. Isn't a believer in Christ known as a Christian? I don't know where you get your information from.
@troybrad Case closed? how is that logical or reasonable? there is no proof in any part of your statement. its just you trolling your opinion as fact. we could say the same thing about Baptist who convert to The Jehovah's Witnesses. Or Catholics to Islam.
@kinkajuu1 The Mormon church added "Jesus Christ" to their name to make them "more acceptable" to the mainstream. Mormons are good at deceiving/brainwashing others...that is why there are so many of them in the world now.
CHRISTIANS believe in the Trinity (three in one). Mormons believe in different gods. CHRISTIANS believe that God created all things including Lucifer and angels, Mormons say that Lucifer is God's spirit brother.
Christians believe that Christ's blood is sufficient to cover all sins. Mormons believe that there are certain sins which Jesus' blood cannot cover - including murder.
kinkajuu1 - you are the one that needs to do more doctrinal studies.
@troybrad. You obviously need to learn more about The LDS church aka the Mormon church. We believe in the god head or God the father, his son Jesus Christ and in the holy ghost. We also believe that God created all things including Lucifer and angels. and We believe that Lucifer is Gods son, along with everyone in the world,and no we don't brainwash anyone. They choose to join this church. Please get your facts right before you say what others believe
Kinkajuu1, I think your a little confused. We have always The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints and we will never change our name. We do not brain wash anyone, We teach them what we believe and then let them decide what they believe. We believe in the God head or God the Eternal Father, and in his son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost. We believe that Jesus Christ Created the world under God's instruction. We believe that god created Lucifer and angels as his Children.

@troybrad Just because "so many" convert out of the LDS faith do does not mean in anyway that its because the all found truth. most leave the church because they leave to atheism any way. and besides that you could only say they all leave because they found truth if they all left TO THE SAME RELIGION. and obviously they dont. you cant say that they found "the truth" just because they think something is a lie.
last i looked they are a worldwide organisation and have over 11-12 million members, does that make them a cult? sry but you seem to be biased against mormons, check it out yourself without any predisposition before making an opinion
@Yochananable Dear Most High Lord, Omnipotent above all - so very nice to meet you. Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Hoping that you'll be my Facebook friend. My friends will never believe that The Lord of Hosts is actually an FB friend!
@otherjoe1234 The choir doing sign language is comprised of deaf children who can't sing. This is the only way they can communicate. Kudos to the MoTab Choir for giving them a chance and clean the cynical haze off your glasses. Yes, it's not pro, but they're doing the best they can.
THANK you for sharing this. I sang an arrangement of "Prayer..." in high school, still adore the song and have also loved "Rigoletto" since I was small. Thank you for your work, thoroughly enjoyed/was moved by this video.
Beautiful arrangement and what a lovely voice the young man has! I love the sign language addition also. The whole song is just peaceful and awe-inspiring in this world of chaos we live in right now. Thank you for posting this. ♥
Kurt, you did a beautiful job. And this child has a gift from heavenly father. I hope his voice does not change. i FORGOT, ARE YOU A MEMBER or just work with our choir?
I was wondering what orchestra that was playing. I'm not a singer but I play the violin. Well, I'm 15 years old right now living in Niagara Falls Canada. (Mormon) I was just wondering how you get into that orchestra.
That is the Orchestra at Temple Square. Go to the Mormon Tabernacle Choirs website and you will find all the information about how to audition. Though you are a bit young, there is an age requirement. Hope this helps and best of luck.
Too bad there's a little lag between the audio and the visual. Either way, this is amazing and shows how anyone can overcome a personal problem. Excellent!
Wonderful arrangement and original song. Great performance by MTC under Craig Jessop. Met him at a workshop last year, wonderful musician and person. Also I watched this original broadcast on Music and the Spoken Word. I like live performances compared to studio versions even with " mistakes" More of that energy from the live performance. Great stuff Kurt.
this song is so beautiful even if the sound and video aren't synced. The soloist did an excellent job on this piece. I remember listening to this, when they had a fireside. Never heard it so well done, except in the movie.
Awww shucks. With the slash in the title and the word "arrangement" I was hoping for a combination of the two songs. Beautiful, but not what I was expecting. Grrr, now I can't get the idea of the two melodies blending out of my head. Curse you, art that hasn't been created yet! D: Stupendous job, though! :D
wow that was a great arrangement, i am bummed, cuz i am moving to la and will no longer be able to attend your annual christmas concert in utah...keep making life beautiful with ur music :) thanks
This is a great video. The little boy has a wonderful voice. I can only imagine how hard it would be to solo that song in front of so many people! And as always, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sounds amazing. I hope that the music in Heaven is similar, and that i get to go there :D
that boy does a BEAUTIFUL job. and i love how people are turning this video into a religious debate. get over yourself assholes, religious arguments are the dumbest things on the planet because NO ONE is right. no one has proof and therefore no one can back up their arguments. so shut up and let people enjoy this beautiful music REGARDLESS of who is producing it!!
I absolutely love the music from LotR. And Prayer of the Children is so moving. I was introduced to it by David Archuleta. :) You did some amazing arrangements on his Christmas album too. haha.
Over the years we have all been lied to by many false religous leaders and so called prophets. Many things we have been taught are not even in Scripture and millions have swallowed so many lies by these false leaders. If you are a truth seeker, please visit the web site which is displayed in my picture and user name and take the time to read some of the articles... You will be very shocked. There is an audio there that will shock you.
Nice! My high school chorus did Prayer of the Children in...I wanna say 2002. We did a lot of amazing songs throughout my time there, but this is one of the most beautiful ever. Awesome.
This is the same church god established through his son Jesus Christ when he walked the earth. A church that allows service animals despite the fact the government exempts churches from the ADA.
I remember this performance! I happened to be there that day for the recording. Very moving. The live performance was a deep and profound spiritual experience. Wonderful!
The words are- "When the cold of Winter comes, Starless night will cover day, In the veiling of the sun, We will walk in bitter rain. But in Dreams,I can hear your name,(And in dreams) And in Dreams we will meet again. When the seas and mountains fall, And we come to end of days, In the dark I hear you call Calling me there, I will go there And back again.
Lovely !! :D

@troybrad. You obviously need to learn more about The LDS church aka the Mormon church. We believe in the god head or God the father, his son Jesus Christ and in the holy ghost. We also believe that God created all things including Lucifer and angels. and We believe that Lucifer is Gods son, along with everyone in the world,and no we don't brainwash anyone. They choose to join this church. Please get your facts right before you say what others believe

Kinkajuu1, I think your a little confused. We have always The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day saints and we will never change our name. We do not brain wash anyone, We teach them what we believe and then let them decide what they believe. We believe in the God head or God the Eternal Father, and in his son Jesus Christ and in the Holy Ghost. We believe that Jesus Christ Created the world under God's instruction. We believe that god created Lucifer and angels as his Children.

go on youtube and do a search on "Mormon Cult" and you will find many valid videos on this topic.

@troybrad Just because "so many" convert out of the LDS faith do does not mean in anyway that its because the all found truth. most leave the church because they leave to atheism any way. and besides that you could only say they all leave because they found truth if they all left TO THE SAME RELIGION. and obviously they dont. you cant say that they found "the truth" just because they think something is a lie.

@troybrad besides how are they a cult?
last i looked they are a worldwide organisation and have over 11-12 million members, does that make them a cult? sry but you seem to be biased against mormons, check it out yourself without any predisposition before making an opinion

@otherjoe1234 The choir doing sign language is comprised of deaf children who can't sing. This is the only way they can communicate. Kudos to the MoTab Choir for giving them a chance and clean the cynical haze off your glasses. Yes, it's not pro, but they're doing the best they can.

I was wondering what orchestra that was playing. I'm not a singer but I play the violin. Well, I'm 15 years old right now living in Niagara Falls Canada. (Mormon) I was just wondering how you get into that orchestra.

That is the Orchestra at Temple Square. Go to the Mormon Tabernacle Choirs website and you will find all the information about how to audition. Though you are a bit young, there is an age requirement. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Also I watched this original broadcast on Music and the Spoken Word. I like live performances compared to studio versions even with " mistakes" More of that energy from the live performance. Great stuff Kurt.

Over the years we have all been lied to by many false religous leaders and so called prophets. Many things we have been taught are not even in Scripture and millions have swallowed so many lies by these false leaders. If you are a truth seeker, please visit the web site which is displayed in my picture and user name and take the time to read some of the articles... You will be very shocked. There is an audio there that will shock you.
