Heck yeah! That was awesome! How am I going to live up to that astounding Soprano 1? we get to sing that this semester, and this will be a dusey! ^_^ This is a wonderful upload! *claps for you*
I wish I could find a clearer version of this on YouTube, but I can't... Listened to this in my jazz class and it's absolutely amazing. Gave me goosebumps!
we sang this in choir in high school. so many awesome memories attached to it. now singing it again in an adult community choir - so much fun. i love this piece!
You shall see the day, a True Prophet from God the Father of Jesus Christ come before the Great and terrible day of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ and every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess Jesus Christ is Lord. Jesus Christ shed his blood for the sins of the world that whom soever shall believe in him shall not perish in hell but shall have eternal life with the God of Heaven, for Jesus Christ is the way, truth and life, for no one comes to God the Father except by Jesus Christ.
I remember having to singing this in middle school, as much as i hated this its engraved in my head now lol i kept having a dream with this song in it lol
OHHH EMM GEEEEE!!!!! That was the best recording of this song i have ever heard. When the tenors sing "halelujah lord!".....best part of the song. Nice job guys. It is so obvious that every single one of you gave it your all. I loved it. Thank you XD
@Mrbookworm14 That isn't really a fair question, as they are two different pieces of music. It all depends on what type of piece you want to sing. If you want an uptune, pick Battle of Jericho. If you want a song more about intonation and tonality, pick this song.
I had the pleasure of singing with Moses Hogan in Los Angles in the early 2000's and didn't learn of his passing until years later. It was a wonderful experience that I'll always treasure!
That 2nd alto part is fierce!!! IF I COULD I SURELY WUD.......STAND ON TEH ROCL WHERE MOSES STOOD...GET EM GIRLS!!!!!! LOVED BEING AN ALTO BECAUSE OF THIS SONG!!!
This is hands down the best choir I've ever heard sing this song and I was in a choir that sang it as well. So amazing and inspiring! You guys were magnificent!
hello, my wife and I sang with the Tuskegee University Golden Voices Concert Choir for several years. We perform many of Mr. Hogan's fantastic arrangements......and want our children to have this same culture as well! Posted the link to Facebook!
@deltanuxkcrp It is unfortunate that altos tend to get buried in recordings like this, especially with those screaming (in a wonderful way!) sopranos.
My College Concert Choir is going to sing this this semester...I sure hope we can do this amazing piece justice! Wow! Chills! Thank you so much for posting this!
I got the pleasure of singing this piece with the Maine Allstate's Choir, 2010. This song is boss. Everyone got chills while singing, and I remember the stage shaking with the intensity of all the voices. Such a moving song.
Anyone know what cd this version is on? I have been looking for it and it has been a different version. I really want to have a copy of the Moses Hogan Chorale's "Elijah Rock".
"Satan aint nothin but a SNAKE IN THE GRASS, he's ,a conjur, HE'S A LIAR...Haaaa-leh-luh-ia Looord." My favorite part when we sang it ha ha great song folks.
This is just amazing, I remember singing this in Middle school, I had forgotten all about this arrangement until I came across the name and when I listened to it it just brough me back to my UIL days this is great stuff, the Soprano 1 is just breathtaking and so is everyone else in here,beautifully done
I am a middle school choral director. I love Moses Hogan's arrangements, this one being one of my favorites. Although my students are not ready for the difficulty of his arrangements, I love to expose them to his work Last year as we were preparing a different arrangement of "Elijah Rock" (not my favorite, but the kids loved it so I went with it) I had to play this arrangement for them. They went CRAZY for it and they still talk about it a year later. I know it has touched them for life!
@MusEdMello I have the score in my hand right now. Eb 3 for alto 2's, D4 for alto 1's, F# 4 for soprano 2, G4 for low split soprano 1, and C5 for high soprano...
when i was in high school in the choir we did this song. i was a sooprano 1 and man did me and my choir teacher do some work with thoes high notes. lol
@Dude5205 There's a story in the bible about Elijah, and he underwent many trials and tribulations. This song sings about how he had to keep strong, and how even in the face of oppression, he stood up and stood by his Lord. :D
the Sound is bad, I'm not going to lie just because it is by the original choir. So those people who gave a thumbs down I understand why. Also don't try and say anything like "I don't know good music" because I am a fan, but seeing this objectively, it sounds bad.
gosh O.O this is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! i got chills throughout the ENTIRE song 8D i can still remember getting chills when i performed this song in my high school chamber singer ensemble, when all the Altos (which i am) became MEN at "stand on the rock where Moses stood" that was AWESOME :D and of course the wall o' sound at the end is very freeing LOUD xD LOVE IT!! it's a real honor to hear this choir :'D thanks SO much for posting!!
@TotalMusician88 My high school choir director has us to sing all htose songs you just named except My Soul's Been Anchored In The Lord, and we also did this song Elijah Rock also. He loved to show aff those songs.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hogan back in 1999. He flew up to Maryland to held teach our All-County Honors Chorus one of his pieces---"My Souls Been Anchored in the Lord". He was impressed.

I just noticed that there have been over 180,000 views of this video. Many thanks to all for taking time to watch and for the many wonderful comments that have been shared. I think Moses would be pleased, knowing that his light still shines throughout the international music community. BRAVO to ALL!!!
@ECBProductions We need so much more of this AFTER we graduate from school. I'm still a fan of this kind of music and it is very hard to find somewhere to sing it. Especially here in Atlanta.
His works are amazing. My college choir director loves having us perform his works. We've done Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel, My Soul's Been Anchored In The Lord, Ain't A That Good News, Good News (Chariots A Comin'), and most recently Joshua and the Battle of Jericho. LOVE IT!
That's awesome!! I am proud to say that I was one of the baritone voices you hear on the recordings of each of those selections. Much respect to your director for including the works of Moses Hogan in your college repertoire.

@xXxKenzixXx That isn't why you slowed it down. You slowed it down because you were not able to keep pace like the professionally trained singers of the Chorale you experience here. No doubt you sound good, but for you to make that statement is insane. If you didn't like the original, you would never have attempted the piece in the first place.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't care for any of his arrangements-- I think they are cluttered and pompous-- and a betrayal of the art form-- quality arranging exists in the economical use of pitches and sonorities to create the utmost beauty while retaining relative ease and SINGABILITY. Jester Hairston's take on this tune is far superior in every way-- and truer to the historical record of oral tradition.
He did just pass away a year or so ago. He brought something special to the tradition, and one must remember that music must evolve and be interpreted in order to thrive and survive through the ages. One must not be so harsh.
Well, thank you ;). I knew that he had passed away recently. Everyone in the music world talks about it as if he just passed, so I must have become confused. Thank you though; one does not want to make a mistake like that in conversation with high-profile musical peers. Now I can avoid that.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I guess his arrangements disappoint me in that I feel like he's writing to an invisible WHITE audience and trying to convince them how cool spirituals are by pumping them with gloss and steroids-- He basically discards the melody of origin in almost every case- the art form of spirituals is inexact but it is NOT random- Spirituals sit very comfortably in concert next to Brahms and Monteverdi -untouched- they don't need gloss or steroids to educate people who won't be educated anyway.
Yes...and I'm so pissed that Picasso didn't paint pictures of ponies that looked just like ponies.
The idiocy of your statement clearly proclaims you don't have the first understanding of Dr. Hogan's work. To say that he discards the melody of origin in almost every case is a bald faced mis-statement of fact. He has a huge body of work that has been performed by every choir of significance in the world. Elijah Rock is vocal fireworks by comparison to most of his work. You, sir are a moron.
We get it you don't like Moses Hogan. But, bashing his works and insulting everyone won't convince anyone to hate his works with a passion like you do. What were you doing watching this video if you hate it anyway?
It should clear to you that my comments are - if anything- in defense of Mr. Hogan and his entire musical and ethnic heritage. I, unlike you, believe that people have rights to their opinions and am not seeking to convince anyone else of anything-- I do not hate his work with a passion . I made an observation of synthetically and unecessarily glamorizing an extraordinary and uniquely black musical art form to impress white listeners-- everything after that is your creation .
Say whatever you need to make yourself feel better, but how would you know what Mr. Hogan tried to achieve? What if he had never meant to impress the white audience? There is absolutely no way you can determine what he thinks, espescially now since he has passed away. I believe you're hiding your distaste for his music by saying his music is "unnecessarily glamorized."

actually u are all wrong! we are hella good. are challenge peice this year is raua needmine its all in estonian launguage, which is pretty impressive for a high school choir.
@jenniferleiss im in a highschool choir too. i have no doubts that you have a good choir. but to say that you're hella good, and to say you're than the original Moses Hogan Chorale is pretty ridiculous. Every choir has their own way of expressing a song. Arrogance won't get you anywhere dear.
my school choir is also singing this and i would never be so ignorant and self-assured to say that we are better than the original moses hogan chorale. think before you speak dear
Jenniferleiss....good luck with that this is the Moses Hogan Chorale...there is no better gospel choir...and Moses Hogan wrote this piece and is the director!
What powerful singers & dynamic director. Superbly done. This piece by Mogan brings goose bumps on my skin & tears from the eyes. You guys really rock.

Man, Moses Hogan is by far my favorite composer. I have yet to hear an arrangement of his that failed to be spectacular.

I just noticed that there have been over 180,000 views of this video. Many thanks to all for taking time to watch and for the many wonderful comments that have been shared. I think Moses would be pleased, knowing that his light still shines throughout the international music community. BRAVO to ALL!!!

@ECBProductions We need so much more of this AFTER we graduate from school. I'm still a fan of this kind of music and it is very hard to find somewhere to sing it. Especially here in Atlanta.

His works are amazing. My college choir director loves having us perform his works. We've done Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel, My Soul's Been Anchored In The Lord, Ain't A That Good News, Good News (Chariots A Comin'), and most recently Joshua and the Battle of Jericho. LOVE IT!

That's awesome!! I am proud to say that I was one of the baritone voices you hear on the recordings of each of those selections. Much respect to your director for including the works of Moses Hogan in your college repertoire.

xXxKenzixXx 2 years ago
@xXxKenzixXx That isn't why you slowed it down. You slowed it down because you were not able to keep pace like the professionally trained singers of the Chorale you experience here. No doubt you sound good, but for you to make that statement is insane. If you didn't like the original, you would never have attempted the piece in the first place.

I don't care for any of his arrangements-- I think they are cluttered and pompous-- and a betrayal of the art form-- quality arranging exists in the economical use of pitches and sonorities to create the utmost beauty while retaining relative ease and SINGABILITY. Jester Hairston's take on this tune is far superior in every way-- and truer to the historical record of oral tradition.
sethalfred 2 years ago
He did just pass away a year or so ago. He brought something special to the tradition, and one must remember that music must evolve and be interpreted in order to thrive and survive through the ages. One must not be so harsh.

I'm sorry. I must interject. Moses Hogan passed away nearly 7 years ago, my dear.
johnathangibbs 1 year ago
Well, thank you ;). I knew that he had passed away recently. Everyone in the music world talks about it as if he just passed, so I must have become confused. Thank you though; one does not want to make a mistake like that in conversation with high-profile musical peers. Now I can avoid that.

I guess his arrangements disappoint me in that I feel like he's writing to an invisible WHITE audience and trying to convince them how cool spirituals are by pumping them with gloss and steroids-- He basically discards the melody of origin in almost every case- the art form of spirituals is inexact but it is NOT random- Spirituals sit very comfortably in concert next to Brahms and Monteverdi -untouched- they don't need gloss or steroids to educate people who won't be educated anyway.
sethalfred 1 year ago
Yes...and I'm so pissed that Picasso didn't paint pictures of ponies that looked just like ponies.
The idiocy of your statement clearly proclaims you don't have the first understanding of Dr. Hogan's work. To say that he discards the melody of origin in almost every case is a bald faced mis-statement of fact. He has a huge body of work that has been performed by every choir of significance in the world. Elijah Rock is vocal fireworks by comparison to most of his work. You, sir are a moron.

We get it you don't like Moses Hogan. But, bashing his works and insulting everyone won't convince anyone to hate his works with a passion like you do. What were you doing watching this video if you hate it anyway?
huyandhieu 1 year ago
It should clear to you that my comments are - if anything- in defense of Mr. Hogan and his entire musical and ethnic heritage. I, unlike you, believe that people have rights to their opinions and am not seeking to convince anyone else of anything-- I do not hate his work with a passion . I made an observation of synthetically and unecessarily glamorizing an extraordinary and uniquely black musical art form to impress white listeners-- everything after that is your creation .
sethalfred 1 year ago
Say whatever you need to make yourself feel better, but how would you know what Mr. Hogan tried to achieve? What if he had never meant to impress the white audience? There is absolutely no way you can determine what he thinks, espescially now since he has passed away. I believe you're hiding your distaste for his music by saying his music is "unnecessarily glamorized."

@jenniferleiss im in a highschool choir too. i have no doubts that you have a good choir. but to say that you're hella good, and to say you're than the original Moses Hogan Chorale is pretty ridiculous. Every choir has their own way of expressing a song. Arrogance won't get you anywhere dear.
