Lamentations of Jeremiah

[AxelHeadBethany]

my choir is learning this now, it makes me want to switch from sop 2 to alto! i wanna sing that part so bad! hahaha

[DCItrumpet92]

i love what the conductor did with this, better than anyone i've sang it with or seen it done with.

[klymmy]

I was in this choir, Mixed was fun but men's choir the earlier year was much more fun. This was a great song though

[HouseMD14]

LOVE THIS SONG!!! We did it in HYC (community choir). Best choir memory. ever. If only i had been as good then. Stupid 9th grade vocal chords....

[bxdrkid]

Wow this was truely amazing i could only imagine it live.

[KRose009]

Sang this song two days ago in an All-State choir... it was amazing, and I had goosebumps while singing it, just like I just did listening to this(:

[Choirkid55]

OVOS OMNES!!!(OH YOU PEOPLE!!!) so powerful, so sad. A true lament

[joshuadawson88]

@hopelesslyderanged hahah now that I listen that's all I hear xD

[gphillip17]

Incredible! One of the best recording I have heard of Lamentations of Jeremiah!. Sopranos are full and sonorous, basses are low and dark. Fantastic work! I am rather biased with this song, though. I love Stroope. Great work ladies and gentlemen!

[lolxaxlot]

Amazing job! We sang this my sophomore year in high school as a contest piece. What a work of art! I've heard choirs do this, both good and bad, and you are definitely doing it right! This is one of those pieces of music that gives you goosebumps as both a performer and an audience member. ^_^

[raiderLB12]

Basses dnt have nothinn on tenors!!.............Basses shouldve sung out more on the beginning............Lol.... My choir got a 100 rating when we sung this song...

[Captain0ats7]

soprano 1 on this song.....voice was tired afterwards haha. But this was super fun to sing. I miss allstate 2008 :(

[ajfbville]

We sang this song in our Christmas concert Freshman year

[MrAavery]

Hahahaha. "I Love Being A Tenor" psssssh. We all know it's the Basses that makes this piece so lamentically delectable. Lose the primadona attitude. JkJkJk....but seriously. Awesome song, guys.

[Kaixero]

God I love being a tenor...my choir is singing this. EPIC.

[TheyCallMeNuts]

Beautiful~ You guys did such a great job! :)

I just had to sing along! haha

Makes me even more excited to do it this year for choir.

[GISHIslander]

I love this song i sang it in Chamber Singers for State..it is such a AMAZING piece of music to learn

[eventhorizonxx]

cant wait to learn this, just got the music today in class and it sounds amazing.

TENOR ONES FTW.

[KEVYP00]

the base really needed to power out more, all i heard was the tenors especially on the ci est du lor part

[christianbladesmith]

this song is extremely dark and haunting!

i love it!!!!! we sang it in NYC at Riverside Church in the Nave. its AMAZING!!!!!

[Lemonbread2]

I first heard this song at Oakland University, and fell in love with it. :)

[poodler01]

This choir is really good. The First "Ahhhhh" part which is sung 8 or 10 times is EXTREMELY difficult to keep on pitch, and while this choir does go off a little bit, they get right back on. i am singing this song in my choir, the tenors in this one are AMAZING. I think to truly appreciate this song you have to have sung it at least once. this. song. is. Epic.

[poodler01]

oh and just for the record, altos should just not have the melody. (green with envy)

[millzyg44]

1.the intro-the last "ahh" could be held maybe 2 more beats longer. cuz it just cuts off. what could happen is you make it tail into ovos omnes and let it come out of nowhere, instead here ist cuts off so u know something's gonna happen

2. each si est dolor could get slower each time. that would be sick!

[PaigeChapman6]

fantastic job, tenors sounded beautiful

[tgipson30238]

I have to say that this was a stunning performance! My favorite composer is Z. Randall Stroope and I believe he is just an absolute genious! I performed this song 2 years ago for the Spivey Hall Honor Chorus at Clayton State and it was absolutely wonderful! Although I'm only in the 10th grade I do a little conducting myself and I'm always honored to conduct a Stroope masterpiece! GREAT JOB GUYS!!!

[A7Xpwnz413]

my choir performed this song a couple days ago. ill post a video of it later as a response =]

this is excellent btw =]

[DeerKillerBeemer]

I sang this in choir too.

Best alto line I've EVER sang, hands down. The harmony is beautiful, just gorgeous, it makes your heart ache.

[BigEyedHouseCrasherr]

@DeerKillerBeemer I sang this too and i agree! It really is the best alto line i've ever sang its beautiful!!

[MagePritkin]

Amazing! Our choir did this song two years ago, and we didn't have nearly enough guys yo make it sound good. The pitch and blend were awesome. My only thing is that I am opposed to choirs using folders. If you haven't memorized your music, you aren't ready to perform.

[megnut12]

I absolutely love this song, we're doing it too. :)

[megnut12]

Oh yeah! And I'm a Soprano 1, btw :)

[BroadwayLady24]

Love this song! We are performing it in choir this year!!

[joltespumb]

i think the at the begining of the song the sapranos were WAY too shart and the girls seemed to overpower the guys during the begining. but other than that i think you guys really captured that punch that this song needs. it was good!

[lax23111990]

Im from NY and a few schools performed this song at Carnegie Hall. Dr. Arnold is amazing!!!

[singerrforlife]

i thought that was amiaisinggg!!!!!! the choir agt my school's doing that too i hope we do it as well as that!!

[angelinakat]

Good performance. I did this song my 12th grade year at All-State, and was conducted by Z. Randall Stroope. I must tell you that that man is a genius. My brother performed in in our high school choir, but it was the year after I left, but I'll try and find a recording of both. Great job guys!!!!!

[achinghunger15]

Stroope is a genious. He directed the district choir i was in. we didn't do this one unfortunately, but we did the conversion of saul. it was intense.

[thefaselerkid]

i must tell you that i'm very jealous. we just started this song today but Z. Randall Stroope! Thats freakin' awesome! Songs are so much better when the composer directs them. Thats why i'm glad my director arranges a few hymns every now and then.

[iheartchevelle]

sopranos a bit pitchy...not bad though :)

[Sarahrocks09]

that was really good.

we have an ISSMA contest this weekend on sat.

wish us luck!!!

[DebraNAbel]

WOW! ya'll sound awesome.

hehe.. i was singing along with it.

I LOVE THIS SONG.

Im from Texas and my choir was gonna do this for concert and sight reading but we are doing a song called "I Am Not Yours"

:)

[theevmeister]

I loved it!! very clean. very powerful. killer performance! Don't kill me for asking, but which M state is this exactly?

[jph728]

Minnesota!

[MGZolyn]

seriously?! omg I auditioned for all-state 2 weeks ago. hope I make it!

[excelpunch]

@theevmeister i personally i have extreme apprecitaion for this particular choir, they are balalnced and the alto part you can hear. But other than that i think they blend well. and they they are matching all their vowels, but other than that i think they are absolutely terrible, dispicable, corrupt and putrid performers. SUCK IT. D- GENERATION X!! RULES. Don't forget to unplug your microwaves people. This is NOT a chicken pot pie here!!

[TomallamaDice]

I am part of this choir and it is an amazing song!!!! i loved it so much. Dr. Arnold is an extremely talented man also!

[grandpianoalex89]

Missouri Baptist University's Chamber Singers sang this tonight at my church...and it was AMAZING!!!

[mollymoocow2]

its the best ive heard of this version...but it feels very very rushed...but like i said..its the best ive heard...

[GuymelefSang]

This is one of the better productions of this piece that I've heard here. They're paying serious attention to their tone, very crisp and articulate vowels, good dynamic variation, and really good intonation.

[ah3738709]

OMG!!! Craig Arnold is AMAZING!! I worked with him at Dorian and it was awesome:)

[jph728]

I was at dorian as well! It was awesome...what voice part did you sing?

[ah3738709]

soprano II you

[jph728]

Bass I

[ah3738709]

[jcirmsa]

[jph728]

Craig Arnold from Luther College

[jcirmsa]
