I'm in the Pride of New Mexico Marching Band at NMSU and we sing this, then play it at the end of every performance to say "Thank You" to all of our supporters and fans. I will always love this piece.
There are some great choirs, orchestras, etc. doing this on You Tube. Unfortunately the Recordings ruin many. Congratulate the technicians on this recording for doing the best recording I have heard so far of this beautiful music.
@Koenigholtz Thanks for your comment. Many venues make it challenging to do a quality recording this is my favorite place:great angles, wonderful sound and good lighting.
I love this song quite a lot. My high school A Capella sings this song (it is our "signature piece) and it made me tear up singing it. This really brought back memories, especially seeing it done so well :')
The dynamics were awesome and the choir is wonderful. I too feel it could've been a bit faster and I also agree that the "blissful" and solemn state I found myself in was interrupted by the applause. There are some pieces that move you to tears and silence and some to gleeful applause, this was one for the former! Still it is one of my very favorites; sung by my church choir!
Quite good! A little faster than I'd like to see it. But an excellent choir! My favorite of all the music I performed in high school and college choirs many decades ago. Thank you!
A most excellent performance - thank you! Most people don't realize the difficulty of this piece, with it's exposed entrances. You handled them beautifully.
Too bad the applause wasn't edited out. I wanted to remain in the blissful state to which you'd elevated me.
darn. not the best camra for this chior however this is AMAZING love it

New Plan: Gather all the world's leaders in one place. Play this song. Wars called off, resources shared fairly, and warm fuzzies all around.
