  • Singing this for New Mexico Allstate.

  • me and my choir at my high school sang this for concert, we did so awesome that we got a standing ovation!

  • @NegativeReaper that's fantastic! It surely is a show stopper.

  • @WPChoralSingers yah it really was, my friend who was in a different choir after the song had a look of amazment, I love Moses Hogan's songs

  • We just sung this in our choir...our choir of 12 people. This is amazing, perhaps a little faster, but still pure magic. Bravo

  • @Jennalovesrainbows Thanks! You should subscribe to our channel. We're in the process of posting all the videos from our April concerts...good stuff!

  • a little slow my butt- this is faster then some of the others on here- but yeah. Not M2 like my old choir.

  • its a little slow for me but i really enjoyed it...i really love the dynamic levels

  • @myloveofmusic33 Thanks. You should subscribe, we have a lot of good music being posted from our April concerts.

  • My choir better song like this at Itacha

  • I love this song I really hope our choir sings it this semester for our spring concert

  • I love this song I really hope our choir sings it this semester for our spring concert

  • My choir is singing this tonight at our first concert. It's one of my favorite songs! :)

  • this song brings me back. :)

    hated high school, but loved the choir. especially when we did this and pieces like it..

  • this song is amazing, and amazing to preform God i love moses

  • My choir is doing this, so I wanted to look it up. It's so awesome that I'm going to be part of something of this.

  • we singing that song today

  • I LOVED the tempo....! The first time i heard this song was with the World Youth Choir conducted by Anton Armstrong, but he did way more slow than u did... this tempo gave the song a whole diferent character... LOVED IT... Tnx for sharing...!

  • Moses Hogan is a musical genius. Nuff said.

  • My only complaint is 0:27 the basses in the lord it was extremely short my other people take advantage of the low basses there and hold it but besides that the version is extremely good

  • we did this song for all county chorus. absolutely epic

  • The Symphonic choir at my school is singing this song, and I really hope we sound like this :) It's just amazing!

  • This is wonderful!! Thank you.

  • LOVE the tempo...not too fast, not too slow!

  • this song makes me want to get up and direct a choir like this :)

  • Musically, aside from the previous notes, the song was great. But what happened to the SOUL? Its just so void of any spirit... which is absolutely vital to any decent rendering of a negro "spiritual." :/

  • @tmac50488 i completely agree. its not enough to just sing all the right notes.

  • Wonderful balance. My choir is singing this song right now. Love this song, touches me everytime I hear it!

  • I've never heard all the parts until this recording. Fantastic balance & sound, Great job!

  • These are great! Thank you for sharing them with the world.

  • you are most welcome!

  • You know, I like the tempo this choir's taken. Besides just liking the way it sounds, I have two more specific reasons: 1. you can clearly hear the text, and 2. I've heard too many Moses Hogan pieces race like runaway trains. Come on, everybody, clearly we all know/have sung his stuff, and we're all probably guilty of rushing it at one time or another.

  • I loved performing this in my spring concert at school

  • I disagree as well. I sang this song at District Chorus my sophomore year of high school and we took it about this speed until the end...then we went faster! Great, great song!

  • Im sorry but this arrangment has been messed up at bar 5 they were supposed to swartzando to a forte but they only got to a MF but other then that it was great and at the end they shud have sped it up a bit =]

  • thank youuu

    that swartzando makes the song to the point where its not worth it if you dont do swartzando to piano then crescendo. :D

  • awesome!!! cresendo and decresendo gallore

  • I disagree. Have you ever heard recordings of the Moses Hogan chorale singing this arrangement? They take it even a bit faster than this.
