my high school choir is singing this arrangement at back to school night on Wednesday and we have only been practicing for 3 weeks and very little time to rehearse it. i am so glad my teacher picked this arrangement to sing. it sounds so beautiful and i have cried twice in class because of how beautiful it can get
I love it! Kind of has everything, Jazz etc. even a little barbershop feel to it. Very refreshing to hear a version that isn't boring or overdone. This one has just the right touch. My old high school choir will be singing this at a Utah Jazz game:)
Hey Mother66..YOU IDIOT !..listen with your heart and Spirit...AND NOT WITH YOUR EYES !! THIS IS SOMEONE EXPRESSING SPIRIT IN THE HIGHEST NATURE..WAKE UP !!!
I like the pacing of the live version better. Still awesome, don't get me wrong... but this one sounded a bit rushed to me in some spots. Regardless, a fantastic rendition, but the live version still has the edge over this one. :)
Absolutely gorgeous! Never thought I'd find an arrangement that I favored as much as Derric Johnson's. But this is just amazing as are the singers. Been a fan for awhile. :) Thank you for sharing!
BEYOND PERFECTION... just been added to my TOP VIDS EVA!!! Get chills everytime.. Chanticleer did an arrangement that i thought i loved... NOT anymore.. my new fav.. thanks for posting!!!!

I prefer the live version. This one has too much reverb.
This being said, I don't the live version is completely live.
Kudos anyway. Together with the Take 6 version, this is by far the best arrangement of the anthem.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
oh say can you say "shameless plug?" two minutes of an email address? is a visual too much to ask? some V.O.L. stills or something ...

this video is uploaded to listen to the wonderful recording, we don't really need any visual stuff in it.
and how is putting up an email address so shameful? its not like no other musician does that.
so watch your mouth next time before commenting.

I prefer the live version. Everyone sounded more harmonized; no one is louder than the others. But that's just my opinion.

Very amazing harmony. Absolutely love this arrangement. Ever thought of selling sheet music for this?
Oh by the way, I like the resonance of the last chord in the live performance better.
