Too Broadway for me. It lacks the dark timbre and soul that a negro spiritual requires. It's nice ear candy, but it's too saccharine for a negro spiritual.
but its the way the sang it, its a negro spiritual, i listen to another recording of this same song, sung by the same group, an i didnt like it at all, this Recording is a little better, but alot of the vowels sound spread more from the sopranos, like world an joy, for example, it needs to be sung with a richer an thicker sound, it doesnt really sound like a Negro spiritual, it sounds like this kind of tone, would be for a song like "Get along home Little Cindy, I wish I was an apple", etc..
This is how this song should be sung. So many of the choirs make this song into a runaway train. Despite how good Marian Uni sounds, their take is waaaaayyyyy too fast. The Riddle Films version is about the same tempo as this one and it sits just right.
I agree! Marian U. Is fantastic at I can Tell The World. I like the tempo they take it at alot more too, they actually have soul while they are singing.
sounds great for a choir of this size, but listen to Marian University's version. less than 20 singers in that video and Whitacre's Lux Aurumque is also a part of that video

I really like how the girls didn't outshine the guys. It sounds a lot better when its a 50-50 split. Excellent performance, truly.

Dr Allred is a genius. My high school choir did a clinic with him in April, he's such a joy to work with! His choirs are amazing.

We did a similar tempo when I sang this. Absolutely loved it--such a joy to sing.

I like the "he healed the sick and he raised the dead". The bass's note on "raised" is raised :-) by a half-tone... great!
The Marktoberdorf performance of this song is even better, I think, if you can believe it. Be sure to check it out.

That last high b-flat gives me goosebumps. It's beautiful! I sang this song (Soprano 1) in choir 2 years ago, and we were not nearly as good!
