Wade in the Water - BHS Chamber Choir April 2008

[jaypenn123]

very nice!

[KekoKasane]

i was going to sing this in my choir... but i moved so now im in a really basic chorus class.

[supersinatra]

I found a version of this on youtube done very fast, and I thought I didn't want to do it with my choir. After watching this video I definitely know how this piece "should" be done. Bravo!

[Existantia]

Hauntingly beautiful!!!

[morrisspid]

The fact that a HIGH SCHOOL choir has almost 40K hits on this speaks for itself. Absolutely beautifully performed and the soloist is amazing!

[sweeetstufff]

THe soloist is fantastic!!! Great dynamics... it ebbs and flows like water:) great effect. Very nice!!

[CasandraBolena]

WONDERFUL!!! Beautiful voices. Although this version is slower than others I heard, it's got such an energy I just loved it. Truly inspiring... : )

[kaitlynewithane]

I have goosebumps.

[Shwandy20Ramz]

[bxdrkid]

Definetely loving the soloist sing it girl

[JokerOfSuits]

I've always really admired Bentonville's choirs. They are all so amazingly talented. I was always happy to watch them preform when my school went to region or state assessment. I would love the opportunity to work with them one day.

[Melensko]

wow... this was really nice to listen to while doing some work!

[RAWR4REPTAR]

Did Moses Hogan write it or arrange it? I know there's a lt of versoins floating around, and I'm particularly fond of this version.

Maybe it's just the performers, though. ;)

[sian0151]

i am so happy i just got in chamber choir in my school! :)

[aquapower02]

check out my wade in the water parody(

[girlunderthecurls012]

my choir is doing a medley with this song its amazing one of my favorite Gospel pieces

[1995Stu]

perfekt gesungen

[ambieB00lovesY00]

My highschool did this song, the soloist for it sang it higher.

It was amazing.

And so is this version(:

Love it!

I got chills :D

[koyukixchan]

The soloist is amazing :)

[lphillips3]

wow, great performance!

[fridaasays]

this song gives me the chills, i loooove it!

and the girl with the solo is AMAZING

[brandonwalker18]

its too structure! spirituals are more go wit h the flow

[JsarenBryn]

Excellent! ^^ I love this song! Our Aristocrats did it a couple years ago and I fell in love with it so I decided to search it on here! XD (Btw, I'm pretty sure this "Soccerkingrdl" is someone from my school and I apologize on behalf of our choir/s for their rude comment. I'm not quite sure who that is, or what they said, but please don't judge the rest of us as being as inappropriate and unkind as them! ^^)

[kweenleah]

MOSES HOGAN ROCKS MY WORLD. just sayin.

[JerryBarryLover]

Is this Boone Grove High School???

[Cassandra0735]

No, it's Bentonville High School in Bentonville, AR.

[marshallmc1112]

@Cassandra0735 you're stupid good Cassandra #justsaying

[bradbro09]

i prefer koepke's arr. (look it up) while this arr. is more spiritual-like, koepke's arr. was a lot more complex and energizing. good performance tho! great soloist.

[landoblu]

a correction : "is there a video with black ppl solely singing this..." i misplaced "black" and "ppl"

[landoblu]

is there a video with black solely ppl singing this song (i am almost afraid to make this comment but ere goes - i doa think whites can effect negro spiritual well) it's just my thought!!!

[MightySunTzu]

look up, wade in the water gospel.

[MrJombie]

Not to pop your bubble Soccerkingrdl, but you are, just, never talk again. I think this is just absolutely wonderful. The best on You tube.

I may be a little biased, I am a BHS alum, and in this video :)

[MadeUpMind09]

Wow! I'm glad I saw this..didn't mean to, but this is AWESOME! Soloist and choir are SUPERB!

[JGTigerClaw]

More live in: Wade in the Water - LHS Chorale

Look!

I wan't see the original Video from Cassidy. :-) ...and not wales with this song. jWH6wR0Umqs

[soccerkingrdl]

i dont mean to pop everyonesw bubble.....but the sound is sooooooo immature i'm in our advanced chior at our school, Aristocrats, and the sound is so much more mature...try opening your throat....by dropping your soft pallette and your lips should be up and down....not east to west...but good selection and good diction

[AmazingAce87]

Drop your soft palate?! (not pallette, btw) - do yourself a favor and go to the library and check your facts. Regardless of how good you Aristocrats are, I hope your mind is on the music and not about being better than everyone else. And you don't have to try to just sound smart, bud. Go to college, study voice and choir, get an idea what it's really like to direct a choir. Then you might be able to make smart, educated criticism and not sound like a fool in an attempt to pop or not pop bubbles.

[superman84241]

oh im glad you read a 101 singing book and think youre hot shit now

[AmazingAce87]

Who was this comment meant for?

[superman84241]

soccerkindgrdl

[singa94]

Very good :)

[bricheese77]

Is this Bentonville? I'm a BHS alumn and was in choir. This was fun to find!

[hunterklie]

Yes, it is, indeed. Glad you stumbled upon it!

[Jennpop909]

Great! We sang it differently for our choir but over all AESOME JOB!!!

[ninjatenor17]

this is really good and that soloist got some soul in her!! really great job

[Zanessaluver95]

im singing this with my theater group.

mosaic youth theater of detroit. :D

[SaRiTaLaTeNiStA]

we did this arrangement w/ my choir...we divided the solo into 3 parts...

[fiddler9635]

so did my school

[durhonker]

This was awesome. Hats off. Impossible not to get chills down your back.

I'm a BHS Chamber alum. Was in the choir about ten years ago. As an alum, fav thing about this video was that I immediately saw that distinctive Bentonville style. The posture, movement with the music, gestures, facial expressions, the Romantic (as opposed to Classical) style... In a random line-up, I would immediately recognize this as BHS.  Mr. Hicks has the leadership talents of a major corporate CEO.

[gracespel529]

our version of wade in the water is SO MUCH BETTTER...moses hogan BITCHES..longmeadow high school...grammy winning high school...READ IT AND WEEP SO HARD

[Swamuel]

You guys did an amazing job with this! Wonderful wonderful. I think this is the best recording of this piece on YouTube.

Soloist... Wow! Incredible. A+++

[NMSChorusDirector]

Stunning performance. Intonation is spot on, soloist is fantastic, balance is, for the most part, great (a few altos are a little strong). Bravo!

[gomounties08]
