this isn't my favorite recording of this piece, but it is by far the most balanced. i have a hard time hearing the tenor part on most pieces, but they are heard loud and clear on this pieces.
2:06 funnest clash you will ever sing in choral music. More props to the 2005-2006 Widefield High School Choir from Colorado Springs for helping make this song sound amazing.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it's "a HORSE that trembles". At about 1:11 I hear the choir sing HOME, instead of HORSE. Great sound, but it's nice to have the lyrics right.
In the climax, "If you open your eyes..." the second soprano is very present and i have never heard it so preset in a recording of this that I have heard. It really makes the big chord shimmer and have a bit more "mystery," per say. This recording is beautiful.
wow this started out so beautifully... well done! the only tiny complaint i have is that it got a little too fast in the middle. other than that... fantastic!
Well, the only problem I have with schools doing this song, is most don't sing with the raw emotion necessary for the piece. That is what makes this piece magical.
one of my schools choirs did this last year and when they performed it in riverside church, ny i almost died it was sooo gorgeous... hearing this was just like that thankyou

very good version, lovely voices, the sound is excellent.....
I do wish you'd put a little more emphasis, if I can call it that, on some prhases, some sound a bit dull

The moving line at 4:41 is so beautiful. I can't tell if that very high, well blended note is a soprano singing or if it's an overtone.

Yeah. I hate that clash. We are doing this song in our high school choir. But we are also doing it with a collage choir!

this song is great, but the lyrics are a little trippy

whitacre didn't write it, it's a poem that he put music to.

Great clean and effortless harmonic movement. Though the conduct doesn't keep with the lyrics like Olaf Choir's version.
