This song was played at my father's funeral. I was strong during the it for my mom but listening to it now I can't help but get choked up. Beautiful song. Thanks for uploading.
The key to properly performing this arrangement lies in proper treatment of the eighth note pairs prior to each downbeat. Let them lag, and the entire piece suffers.
In that respect the conductor does a commendable job of indicating the downbeat slightly early, reminding the choristers that those eighth notes are not particularly important.
This is certainly better than the a cappella performance Biola University gave at Hansen Hall. Remember that one, Ert?
This is very close to the Mormon Tabernacle arrangement which, imhp, is by far the best and brilliant arrangement of this song.
Are they using it? It's exactly the same.
