  • This is by far the best performance of Moses Hogan's arrangement. A+

  • The basses are awesome! Great job tenors!

  • Wow your bass rocks! i can hear the low notes loud and clear

  • man really good song. my school's choir has only been around for like 5 years. we attempted this song in the 4th and well we were so close. really good job though!!

  • perfection!!!!!! that is how you sing this song

  • You are right... This is closest all white groups I've heard that actually came close to singing like the way Moses Hogan's group sings it. This was a very good job.

  • Thats UNT music for ya. I go to school here and we have by far the best music program

  • basses are BEASTIN' in this!!

  • finally a version where the bass really holds the song. truly phenomenal

  • WOW! That bass section made my jaw drop at the beginning! The tenors rocked their high part too-- well done, men!! The women are a bit too tremulous for my liking (sopranos especially), but this performance is excellent overall :)

  • ya amber.. do it...

  • OMG !!! I love the bass voice indeed !!!

  • perfect!

  • This makes me proud to go to UNT... VERY very good

  • awesome job strong voices nice job

  • awesome easily the best version of this song!

  • awesome tenors too..

    really great from every part, you must have a great director

  • I've searched long and hard on youtube for the best performance of Moses Hogan's song; and this is it. The Sopranos are perfect, the Bass section is spectacular, and everything vocal section in between is wonderful. Great Job! A+

  • I agree! This is as close to perfection as one can get! Awesome job all!

  • wow.i like this song

  • WOWOWOWOWOWOW we're singing this in may . holy crap your men are talented .

  • dang. GOOD JOB TENORS AND BASSES

    gosh this whole thing was just phenomenal

  • amazing (: my choir is singing for our december concert but it definitely does not sound as good as this lol

  • Basses are great!

    The whole thing was.

  • This is the best Base section I have heard... Amazing.

  • AWESOME BASSES!!!!!

  • EXCELLENT!

  • The Basses Are So Amazing. I heart Those Bass 2's.

  • I recognize this conductor, he was in the Carnegie Hall Centennial Choir with Robert Shaw conducting; if he sang with Shaw then it's no wonder is choir sounds this good.

  • You got it right. I had the pleasure of attending the Oklahoma Arts Institute with Dr. McCoy as clinician. He's sung with many other incredible conductors such as Eric Ericsson as well. He's also President (elect?) of ACDA. North Texas is very lucky to have him. Please keep posting UNT choirs!

  • Thank you!!! FINALLY... a majority choir that can sing a spiritual. I get so sick of ignorant people trying to sing spirituals like they're vocal jazz or something. Gimme my damn vibrato!!!!

    BRAVISSIMO!!!!

  • WOW!!! Go soprano...and the basses were representin...Keep it up

  • very good work!!

  • Dude... I almost want use vulgarity to describe HOW amazing this performance is. (I got to the High Tenor melody at the end of the piece, and I couldn't concentrate on typing so much that I forgot how to spell "performance" GREAT JOB!)

  • HOLY CRAP BASSES!! YEAHH!

    Lol I just sang this (tenor 2) at church this morning...

  • DANG BASSES HOLY CRAP AHAHAHAHAHAA but yeah i agree a little more altos :)

  • This is the University of North Texas A Cappella choir, directed by Jerry McCoy. This video is from a high school in west Texas (recruiting tour) in January 2007.

  • Very well done, and what a strong men's section. Bravo from a fellow Dentonite (if UNT means University North Texas)

  • Those basses are GREAT. This version of the song is just kickass.

  • WOW, this was great. Basses, Tenors and Sopranos are awesome. That high C descant gave me chills

  • NICE

  • Good video and performance!

  • Wow basses, awesome. I wish I could hear the altos more, but that's just because I love hearing my section.

  • me too ALTOS give me more ALTOS give me more. You go bassess. Damn soprano you hit that girl.

  • OMG, I used to be in that Choir! LOL! I miss Mel Ivey!

  • Holy crap! Now THAT is a bass section! I reminisce on when my choir tried to do this spiritual, which is not easy by ANY means, and it's just a rather...painful...memory, to say the least. EXCELLENT performance.

  • chills!!! that was amazing.

  • that was impressive. it's easy to screw up this song because the basses tend to overpower the tenors and the balance gets out of whack. great balance indeed.

  • is this UNT in Denton, TX? You guys sound great! The basses are kick ass (coming from a kick ass bass 2)...I almost went to this school, I am almost regretting it. Tenors you are amazing, Sopranos yall did that! And the soprano belter at the end, yes girl!!!

  • wOW! sOunds jus like the original oNE! haha well we're learnin this song foR our choir tOO! but wOW!! sOunds really gOOD keep up the gOOD wORK!

  • nice bass sounds. great tenor tones.

  • holy crap that actually really was really good its easy to screw this song up without really noticing but geez it was awesome

  • great balance, very spirited with awesome control. bravo!

  • This is great - I'd kill for those basses! :-)

  • the video is off from the music, but still good!
