[volleyballplayer141]

Im singing this for my concert for chior

[cozycute]

Whoa whoa whoa. Where did the alto go in the beginning with the oos? This is a nice video, though.

[mcselvage]

I'm singing this for chours in my school! :(

[Aubsthegr8Sings]

@mcselvage sad face? :(

[hecksyeaanimelover00]

I am singin this in my choir!!!!

[Bestiess4Lyfee]

WOW ! this was amazing .

[BeavMcloud62]

I remember singing this in 6th grade. It's been a long time, but the lyrics recently popped into my head, and I cannot stop singing it. SOMEONE SHOULD SING THIS FOR THE HOLLYWOOD ROUND IN AMERICAN IDOL. TEARS WOULD SHED AND JAWS WOULD DROP.

[Ikamon12]

I'm sorry but I personaly don't think elementary kids should do this song. Unless they have done many challenging songs before this.

[rachellovesnerds]

I'm doing this song at Mont Bethel Elementary for our chorus performance!!!!!! This is my favorite chorus song. Even thought this song is really sad it still sounds really pretty when my chorus sing's it

[TheShuttle098]

i am singing this song in 5th grade at the boston acadamy im so happy and i think i will get first

[thedesroyer19]

I've sang this song so many times when i was alto now I'm bass i still love it



[RabidSpaceSquirrels]

Hipster kitty loves this.

[marianefedova]

Nice music indeed - though it was written by russian Arcady Ostrovsky and not by Mr. Stroope... 

[MsIcarlyfangirl]

this is the song im singing at my music class concert tomorrow!

[GweeNumber5]

;-; Us 6th, 7th, and 8th graders sang this tonight at a concert and dedicated it to an 8th grader who passed away because of leukimea. I didn't even know her and yet I was the only one who cried. <:'D

[spurkruse]

My grade is singing this tonight for our concert! Wish me luck:)

[picklelover220]

[Aubsthegr8Sings]

@picklelover220 nice! and I think u spelled it right :P

[thebestpurplemonkey]

[MissTiffyLove]

Stroope is brilliant. OSU is lucky to have him.

[wazzup5364]

Im gonna sing this with my 7th grade choir at the AIDS FESTIVAL we are gonna sing some other songs and finish with Amazing grace!

[sukydays420]

My sons high school choir is singing this and its just a beautiful song!!! Good job! :D

[Nattitude3]

Love it. I sang this a long time ago with my show choir. It was funny, the first time we sang it, the song ended and nobody spoke for about 3 minutes. We were all so taken aback by how beautiful and sad it was. There were about 30 of us just standing there on the verge of tears.

[xBeautifulxSunsetx]

I sang this in middle school. For elementary school students, They are truly amazing! And the Alto harmony = Fantastic. :D

[Aubsthegr8Sings]

@xBeautifulxSunsetx thank you :)

[cberlyeasntna101]

I cried when i first heard this, and now that I'm singing it in choir, I have to struggle not to when i sing

[RokettoDanFanGirl]

Our choir is singing this for our fall concert, and i've got to say that i LOVE this choir. Not only because i love NJ, but because its such a wonderful song, hopeful and faithful. I love this choir x3 Better than us high school peeps xD

[gaaraisallmineokay]

Im crying. They where so good, and the song is so sad!

[Aubsthegr8Sings]

@gaaraisallmineokay Thank you so much :)

[starshine44417]

i love this song so much were singing this song in my school

[fredrocks1211]

Great job!!! But I cant hear the altos as much. Great job though! :)

[tricia165]

my show choir in middle school 8th grade 2008 sang this...ohmygod my obsession with the psycology of the holocaust made me bawl everytime I sang it.... its so nice to find the past again

[PNBJ0015]

i wish my eighth grade quior sang this well; when it came to the spring concert. The concert was bad to begin with because of audio problems and when it came to sing this song, it just sucked because the altos were too soft and everyone kept using the "h" sound too much. To top it off, my chorus teacher was stupid to try the last finale that none of us were even close to be ready for.

[JuJuBee426]

My cousin's high school choir just sang this song a couple of nights ago and it was so compelling that I cried and needed to hear it again. They also had a student read the same paragraph before they sang the song and it was incredibly touching.

[lilredlooneytoon13]

My school is singing this tonight at our concert with 8th 7th and 6th grade also altos sopranos and basses plus tenors

[Aubsthegr8Sings]

@lilredlooneytoon13 good luck :)

[saradanielle3]

@lilredlooneytoon13 so did i!!

[battlechick97]

did u all have it split up as altos, sopranos, tenors, and basses?

[Aubsthegr8Sings]

@battlechick97 Again, we are in treble 1 and treble 2 which is basically soprano and alto.

[CCMIMI580]

Love this song :) i sang it during a music festival that seventh and eighth graders in the texas state conferance for seventh day adventist schools go to and after the concert i got a call from my mom just to tell me that my dad had been in a bad diesil truck accident he was in icu for 5 weeks in therapy for 2 weeks and has been home for 2 weeks as well this song gave me hope through this time and has helped me so much i thank you for posting this video

[seawater151]

beautiful:)

[JandKatsvideos]

i love this song :) we're singing it for our spring concert :)

[13abbiers]

Only 1 comment... a BIG sssssssss at the end... otherwise BEAUTIFUL!

[13abbiers]

Their amazing... Our select chorus group at my school isn't this good :)

[OhYaSpaghettios]

We've got a tiny school, so our choir has 5 people, including myself. We would sing this for our contest coming up next Friday, but the judges are less harsh on foreign songs. we will instead sing this for our Spring Concert. We are singing Sing Jubilate Deo for our contest. One other and myself are the base, but her voice is too quiet, so I have to make mine carry. jut a little insight, lol. A great job, kids!

[Mikem0829]

8th grade? pssh im in college and were singing this, this saturday :D Your never too old for this song :D

[uberpoohbear456]

Im In 8th Grade Right Now And My School Is Singing This XD Good Job You Guys XD

[silverrosesband]

omg! the choir at st. cats is singing this song for a competition! we are better though..=) it is soooooo sad!

[xxRookiexKookiexx]

The choir in HMS has to sing this. I expected it to sound sad but it sounded...Happyish. o-o

[NighttimeSymphony]

@xxRookiexKookiexx I think it doesn't have to necessarily be sad. I think it is a song about finding hope in the hardest of times, and still believing that there is goodness in the world. Managing to smile through the tears and pain. :)

[BabygirlLeah13]

When I auditioned for an honors chorus, I had to sing this son(:

I bombed it.

Anddd for 6th graders, they are amzing!

[nobeesallowed]

This is a lovely version of a beautiful piece of music! The voices are so pure and so perfectly blended. I had my high school students sing this when it first came out, but I think it is absolutely beautiful when sung by such young voices. Well done!!!

[cjeggers]

Even if it's not SATB, you've got wonderful intonation, and great blend. How old are these singers? Tell them to all stay with it, they have the natural knack! Very nice sound!

[Aubsthegr8Sings]

@cjeggers Thank you!!! We would've been 4th, 5th and 6th graders but are now 8th, 9th and 10th :)

[emma53956]

I'm singing this with my friends for a music festival! My music teacher was telling me how the words of this song were found in a cellar after the World War 2. A Jew carved this alone in the dark, and who knows what happened to this person? Thank you for the amazing video! Almost brings tears to my eyes.

[Courtie1616]

im singing this in my middle school choir...... ours is a little more fast tempo

[pelleAKAsliim]

@TheCheeringPumas I'm Glad You Took The Time2Sayy Suchh Non-sense.

[SilverKyleOohShiny]

Im singing this too!! In about 2 weeks x.x But I dont hear any Base in this song . . .

[Aubsthegr8Sings]

@SilverKyleOohShiny Good luck! :) And as I've said in previous comments, its a treble, elementary choir. There is no base, just treble one and two.

[cjeggers]

@SilverKyleOohShiny "Elementary."

[pelleAKAsliim]

We're Singingg Thiss In Choruss & When I Firstt Heardd It Im Like " UMMM...THIS IS GAY"

But Noww Thatt I've Gotten Used2It,, I Actually Took Tha Time2Look It Up On Youtube.

[gigieeatsclowns]

i have to sing this tomorrow for my school thing :I im sooo nervous!!!!

[sierrahm1995]

I did this in middle school, we went to competition with it and got the highest rating possible. I cried.

[Aubsthegr8Sings]

@sierrahm1995 Congrats :)

[adriantorres1231]

it sounds like its very good to you but if you really thing about it they dont have any other tone. the basses surpranoes altos and tenors all are at the same pitch and tone. but i will say it is very well construvtive for kids with out changed voices.

[Aubsthegr8Sings]

@adriantorres1231 This being an elementary chorus, it is only treble 1 and treble 2 for boys and girls. There are no real "voice parts" in any of the songs because as you said, none of the kids voices have changed. Therefore there can only be two part harmony.

[believeinlove8181]

MY MUSIC CLASS IS GOING TO THE STATE CONTEST AND WE'RE GOING TO SING THIS SONG !!:DD

And Im in the 8th Gradee !!xDD

[TheHottoo1]

[TheDreamer789]

[Battousai101]

I agree with the many other comments that this is definitely the best version of the song on youtube. If you guys are in elementary school now, your voices will SO good when you're in highschool. Great job!!!! It gave me goosebumps, not gonna lie. : ] XD <3

[ILOVECHOIRKID]

[fionacyuen]

God wants to do great & awesome thing for US EVERYDAY - to surprise US! Expectation is a major part of FAITH. We need to wait for God properly. Trust in God. Pray to Him. God will raise up someone to encourage us.

[sugarland104]

My chorus class is doing song!

The story that goes with it is SO sad!

The person who wrote this was in a Consentration Camp. And this song was on one of the walls in the camp... Sad right.

[Aubsthegr8Sings]

@sugarland104, actually it was written on the wall of a cellar in Germany by Jews hiding from nazis. I put the story in the description. But yes, it is very sad.

[sugarland104]

@Aubsthegr8Sings Yeah, that's what I mean't. I knew it was written from that time period and someone was hidin from Hitler.. i know REALLY REALLY sad :(

[Manaphyfreak123]

@Aubsthegr8Sings yup-in Clogne, Germany right?

[BrittanyBieber1]

[hesonmyHEART]

[epsilon127]

I'd like to think that whoever wrote this was one of the lucky Jews that survived the Holocaust. ♥

[TheLastArcani]

Actually a Composer in Omaha, Nebraska wrote it. It is about the Jews writings on a wall somewhere in Germany, where a old concentration center used to be.

[NyaIsPower1]

We are singing this in Choir

[musichottie17]

so am i. choir is BOMB!

[musichottie17]

this is pretty good. except for there is no alto line, but other than that its really good!

[Aubsthegr8Sings]

thnx. It was actually a treble chorus and there were more treble one's than threble two's and the treble two's would have been the alto part but since there weren't very many you couldn't hear them.
