good sound... but everyone looks like they are going to fall asleep or something... learning the music is only part of performance. Is anyone paying attention to what they are singing?
My choir is going to be singing this next concert! I'm o excited to hear how great it'll sound when we get everything to come together! This is beautiful!
this was really good, ive listened too it many times already. the only things i would work on is taller vowels, i saw a lot of barely opened mouths. also more emotion, get more into the meaning of the piece. but over all i truly love listening to this recording, great job
We performed this at Honor Chorus this year and when looking for a good version to listen to to get a feel on the song I found this one. Your blend and tonality is spectacular! This was my favorite piece to perform and perhaps the most beautiful piece I've ever had the privilege to sing.
Very good group overall. Only thing I can think of is to "smile with your eyes". You sound good, but do your faces look as good as you sound? That is one aspect of performing that can be easy to overlook.
me and the advance womens choir at my school sang it at our pyramid consert, one of the kids who was listening seid" it toutched my heart" and i almost cryed when i heard the kid say that :') i lovet his song
The balance between all of the sections in this performance of this song is stunning. It may be because I've sung this song before and recognize the different parts, but I can hear each section, but you blend together. It really does sound like one voice singing four parts at once. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
My choir teacher signed a friend and me up to help some guy with a group he was talking to. He was teaching us about singing. He asked us of the top of our heads what song we could remember from choir. it was Omnia Sol. Turns out the guy who was teaching us was the Randall Stroope. It was so cool.
this was the all country choir song this past year. i didn't go because only chorus 3 and 4 people could but the whole class had to learn it and i fell in L.O.V.E. I've never heard it sang as beautiful as this though
we practiced this song today for our baccalaureate and it made me cry trying to sing it. i cant beilive highschool is gonna be over for me in 3 days :(
This song is amazing and this choir preformed it very well =) great job. We did this song in my District II Honors Chorus Festival and I love it <3 My favorite piece we did by far. Fabulous job.
I've sung this song before. We didn't do nearly as good. Our tenors can't project and have a habit of following the sopranos everywhere. Our seconds couldn't keep their part at all!
Very nice! We sang this song at my high school in sprint of '10, and everyone loved it. So this year a few friends and I are going to be taking this to the state solo and small ensemble contest.
But like I said before, you guys did an amazing job on this!
my school greenway high school lost a friend and classmate 2010 and now the choir sing the this spring 2011 so thanks u for singing the song. you guys are amazing and thanks u the song wow :o
wow this is really good! my choir sung this in the begining of the year and it makes me tear up just thinking about how emotional we all were when we sung this song...its a wonderful thing to be in choir...
Such an amazing song. We did this song at our concert last month. I feel that the ladies need better posture and they would sound 10x better than now that also you guys seem like you aren't enjoying this song you all look sad and unhappy to be up there, and as a tenor I don't know if your conductor told you not be you guys should be wailing that last part the sopranos are way overshadowing you. BUT other than that I felt you guys sounded GREAT your blend is amazing!
hi iam in fith grade and i sing this in chior and i love it its such a beautiful peace i fell in love with it and so did the six graders that sing with me . my teacher is awesome she is mrs mccormake and we love her but u guys did good
I shake my head at the person who ruined the moment towards the end. Really well sung. It's nice to hear a strong tenor line, as my school is sorely lacking them.
Thanks so much for posting this. I am the only guy in my choir of 42 and was really struggling with my part, having no one to help me harmonize often lead me astray. Thanks, to the strong voices of the guys I was able to match and my choir teacher was freakishly impressed and so were all the girls. Thanks!
This song will stay with me forever. It was sang by past and present members of my high school in honor of a classmate that had passed away. I hardly knew him, but after hearing what a wonderful person he was along with the singing of this song, made me cry like a baby.
Absolutely beautiful. Unlike many mediocre choirs, the vowels and dynamics are all consistent and open. I can always appreciate that. The sopranos have a lovely, well-blended sound rather than it being screechy. Hard to achieve. All around the choir sounds fabulous. Well done!
Omg we sang this for a competetion and we made a ONE (: wa also sang domine fili unigenite and how do i love thee...it was awsome...you guys sound good though (:
it sounds ok, but you have no emotion. it just kinda sounds like your just singing it to get it over with. Its a beautiful song, and just listen to the lyrics! I am also singing this in my choir and you really have to feel the piece for it to sound the best. You all look bored to death, and it's a heartfelt love song!

This is amazing!!! I love this cuz my chior is singing this and im just want to see what it sounds like with other chiors. I love the dude the guy with the long red hair from like 1:16...that made me laugh...lol
i sang this for my choir in high school...it felt so magical ..the power of singing in unison with many great voices makes u feel one with the harmony...
such a beautiful song ..lovely melody....i miss high school :(
When you first see this choir when the video is starting you can tell that you guys are good. everyone is in place,great posture, and a united sound. i love this!! How parts does this version have because it sounded like some parts had 1st and 2nds???
To the boy with the long brown hair over one eye in the middle:
I love to watch you sing. This is one of my favorite songs and I can see how you love it too. I love how passionately you sing. It moves me to watch this video again and again. Thank you for showing a true love for this beautiful song.
@Tan1723-- Hey, dude, guess what?!?!?! "And when we part, and sorrow can't be swayed" isn't a very fun thing to be singing about. The song is about being in love and having to let them go. So, when it comes down to "looking dead," what do you expect? Are they supposed to be smiling or bawling or something? It's DEPRESSING. Sheesh.
This is a fabulous song. This is at the top of my favorite songs list. :) Perfect. And what's funny, is that I could care less about the facial expression, because I just close my eyes and listen peacefully.
Beautiful! I LOVE this song! I'm not one of those annoying youtube people that go around giving "constructive criticism," but I just wanted to say that some of the singers look miserable, like they don't want to be there at all. When we sing this in choir, I get so into it and it is SO much fun!
We sang this my freshman year of high school. It's such a pretty song, it always made me cry at the end. When you have the words "let" and "your", it should always be pronounced as "Leh-tyour" and not "Letchyur", which happened a few times...and "in" in latin should be pronounced as "een". But this is a very good performance!
it's kinda depressing looking at y'all's faces. It looks like you guys are bored out of your minds. Oh, well. Best rendition I've seen. Great vocals and volume.
a general great performance, but the latin could use some work. the "in" should sound like een, not in. and the vowels could be a little more pure. but the general sound of the group is fantastic.
I would've also liked more facial expression. I know it's not an incredibly happy song, but there is still passion, which can be shown with something other than a blank face. Other than that, this was beautifully sung. Dynamics and emotion put into the actual flow of the music was very wonderful. =)
You guys did great on this! We performed it my 11th grade year of high school. I would have liked to see more facial expressions and life in this piece though. It's one of those songs that's touching and requires the proper facial expressions and energy. Also, posture needs to be worked on by some of the girls in the front. They are all slumped/hunched over and bending at the stomach. If they stand up straight with their heads high and shoulders down, then they will sound even better!
it was really really good! i could hear each part and it blended really well together. the only thing is, as the comments below said, their facial expressions weren't TERRIBLE, but there was one girl that was literally falling asleep.. her eyes were closing and closed for about 15 seconds lol.
This is beautiful! It sounds so nice at the first chorus. I am singing this song this weekend at our OMEA District X Honors Choir performance, it is an amazing piece of literature!
I remember doing this in high school. This is a pretty impressive HS choir. And I know, I went to a school that was in the Grammy Signature Schools all 4 years I was there. You guys should be proud.
Now your shoving words into my mouth that I never said. But some facial engagement wouldn't hurt either. You must think about what the song is trying to say and imply when your singing it, once you know that, you can put emotion into what your singing and make music so much better. Some choirs go and sing in front of audiences and show no facial expression whatsoever, like they would rather be somewhere else than what their doing on stage.
ok i agree that a lot of the kids in the choir are dunces but still! It is a song about seperation and saying farewell......tell me...how exactly SHOULD we have sang it....hm?
its sort of to b sung like you're reminiscing about old times or something, but anyways i just wanted to comment too that sometimes your tenors got a little overpowering in times when the basses had the melody, its great that they can sing with that much strength but if its messing up the balance they need to pull it back a bit if the basses cant get any louder, but dont think i didnt like it, it still sounded very good im not trying to put u down.
i agree with tan1723, some of the ppl could use some emotion, but there are some that are making efforts to do so, we sang this in my high school choir and im not saying we were amazing, alot of the ppl in it just flat out didnt listen to the teacher cuz they just wanted to go on the choir/band trip, but i, being one who listened to the teacher was told that from the meanings of the words u get that this song should b sung with an attitude of reflectiveness like saying goodby to an old friend
This song makes me cry! we are doing it in my choir classes and it is sooooo pretty! OUTSTANDING!

When you have the words "let" and "your", it should always be pronounced as "Leh-tyour" and not "Letchyur", which happened a few times...and "in" in latin should be pronounced as "een". But this is a very good performance!

it's kinda depressing looking at y'all's faces. It looks like you guys are bored out of your minds. Oh, well. Best rendition I've seen. Great vocals and volume.

a general great performance, but the latin could use some work. the "in" should sound like een, not in. and the vowels could be a little more pure. but the general sound of the group is fantastic.

I would've also liked more facial expression. I know it's not an incredibly happy song, but there is still passion, which can be shown with something other than a blank face. Other than that, this was beautifully sung. Dynamics and emotion put into the actual flow of the music was very wonderful. =)

You guys did great on this! We performed it my 11th grade year of high school. I would have liked to see more facial expressions and life in this piece though. It's one of those songs that's touching and requires the proper facial expressions and energy. Also, posture needs to be worked on by some of the girls in the front. They are all slumped/hunched over and bending at the stomach. If they stand up straight with their heads high and shoulders down, then they will sound even better!

EXCEPT FOR THE ASS WHOLE MOMENT RUINER right at the end who made all the noise in the backround.. that was so sad.

it was really really good! i could hear each part and it blended really well together. the only thing is, as the comments below said, their facial expressions weren't TERRIBLE, but there was one girl that was literally falling asleep.. her eyes were closing and closed for about 15 seconds lol.

I remember doing this in high school. This is a pretty impressive HS choir. And I know, I went to a school that was in the Grammy Signature Schools all 4 years I was there. You guys should be proud.

musicman51191 2 years ago
Now your shoving words into my mouth that I never said. But some facial engagement wouldn't hurt either. You must think about what the song is trying to say and imply when your singing it, once you know that, you can put emotion into what your singing and make music so much better. Some choirs go and sing in front of audiences and show no facial expression whatsoever, like they would rather be somewhere else than what their doing on stage.
Tan1723 2 years ago
ok i agree that a lot of the kids in the choir are dunces but still! It is a song about seperation and saying farewell......tell me...how exactly SHOULD we have sang it....hm?
musicman51191 2 years ago
since i know your an expert and all...
musicman51191 2 years ago
its sort of to b sung like you're reminiscing about old times or something, but anyways i just wanted to comment too that sometimes your tenors got a little overpowering in times when the basses had the melody, its great that they can sing with that much strength but if its messing up the balance they need to pull it back a bit if the basses cant get any louder, but dont think i didnt like it, it still sounded very good im not trying to put u down.

i agree with tan1723, some of the ppl could use some emotion, but there are some that are making efforts to do so, we sang this in my high school choir and im not saying we were amazing, alot of the ppl in it just flat out didnt listen to the teacher cuz they just wanted to go on the choir/band trip, but i, being one who listened to the teacher was told that from the meanings of the words u get that this song should b sung with an attitude of reflectiveness like saying goodby to an old friend

I sang this when I was a freshman. So beautiful, it makes me want to cry. I'd forgotten how much I loved listening to the tenor line.
