I have never been so impressed with a high school choir. I graduated from St. Olaf and therefore come from a wonderful choir tradition, but you folks were stunning. I hope some of the students will graduate and go to St. Olaf College to help with their choir :)

[linw75]

[mrlaser07]

What a beautiful song. This is a great choir.

[marvinjr1]

You guys are remarkable!!! What an amazing high school choir! This piece brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it!

[actmyage9]

Mr. Anthony,

Your kids achieve a great final sound. I am planning next years songs for the fall and would love to sing some acappella music. You guys greatly inspire me!!!

Thanks for all you do!!!

Mr. Aich Western Warrior Choirs

[Reluctantwriter7]

How beautiful. My goodness, how beautiful.

[afteryoufetcher]

my college choir just sang that song for our winter 2008 concert.. i fell in love with it right away and almost had tears in my eyes when we performed because it was the last time we got to sing it.. lol. music truly is the greatest thing in the world :)

[snowqueenkat]

I was in a great high school honor choir that use to sing wonderful music like this too. I miss it!!

[brandonhordyk]

My best friend and i sang this song with our choir 4 days before he suddenly passed away... this is a very powerful and amazing song!! Miss you a lot paul!

[applesauc3]

Our chorale sings it just as well, which makes me happy to see that there are other great choirs such as yourself. My friends went to iowa to see other choirs sing and they sounded terrible. It makes me happy that you sang this :) but im not encouraging any criticism or giving you any. A complete positive comment

[ultraviolettea]

this was my late aunts favorite song....really needed to hear this right now :) thanks

[lmficken]

This is probably my number one choice of song that I did not get to sing with the choir. It is so hard to believe that this is a High School group. I am in awe.

[bobareebop]

Wow - did I say WOW? Amazing discipline and sound for a HS group. My choral group sings the same arrangement which is by L.L. Fleming, only we repeat the last chorus (where the men come in) which makes it a bit longer.

[toneant]

wonderful! sounds great for a high school!!

[grizzly1406]

WOW. just wow. i don't ever write comments but you guys are amazing. I actually signed on to write this. I don't think my college choir sounds this good. You guys are great! keep up the good work. you clearly have a great director.

[lilspears7]

GREAT!!!

[iwafam]

What a WONDERFUL sounding High School Choral Group! Simply beautiful!!!!

[ayoitslo]

I ALWAYS cry when I listen to this song. We sound so amazing <3

[darlingsaidsirr]

Jesus, those sopranos.

[myrnaria]

Who's arrangement did this magnificent choir perform? If anyone knows, please respond. I must have it in my library! Kudos to the director and the choir for this inspiring performance! Awesome!

[MrJCFranklin]

2:25 - 2:48 is my favorite part.

I love when the altos come in there.

And that once dissonance in that section sends shivers down my spine.

Love this song.

[MamawCindy]

Loved It!!!!

[tiernan87]

yay altos....that's my favorite part of this song, when the altos come in with "give me jesus" after the men have been singing. love this setting.

[TuskegeeFellow]

This is awesome, most college choirs don't sound this good. Keep up the good work! The effort you put into your music is worth it. The singers possess so much control, musicality and great intonation. Do you have a recording?

[kmastermusic]

Thank you Thank you! Beautiful.

[Broadwaystar2be5]

amazingggg stronggg bases!!!

[1hmm2]

That was so good, it blew my mind. lol

[Danicicco]

Mr. Anthony: Hi! This piece is performed amazingly! I listened to it twice, and I would continue listening. Have you ever made the choir sing the "Ave Verum" by Mozart? It is beautiful, too. It is an a cappella piece that I am sure you would do wonderfully.

[brightcabfire]

holy crap... my star voices choir did this song... and i thought they were amazing, but wow, this was truly jaw dropping. i cant imagine what it sounded like live.

[girlgenius17]

This song gave me goosebumps and made me cry...*removes hat and bows to choir for a job well done* Thank you for posting this!

[kvion11]

Great basses!!!

[SCCMMGT]

ANGELIC!!!!!!

[hpfangurl2412]

omg i love this song. i listened to it all day yesterday, wow, its beautiful.

[BrendanofSeton]

Have you done Stanford's Bluebird?

[vocalvideos]

Excellent! Your choir is blessed to have such a good director and such talented young adults. This is one of my favorite songs and your choir did it to perfection! Thank you for sharing.

[Oaktownrob]

This choir sings beautifully. The musicianship is outstanding. Obviously, they are in the hands of a master teacher. You rank right up there with the St Olaf choir on this!

[quietstorm2009]

who arranged this?

[BigIng02]

L. L. Fleming. It's one of three songs by Larry Fleming. I do this song every each with my choir. This choir is excellent. The director has good interpretation of this piece. Excellent sound for high schoolers. I appreciate listening to them. AWESOME!

[AdmiralAckbarX2]

I've come across many of this choir's songs on YouTube. Your director has wonderful taste in music, and the choir sounds wonderful.

[shutyoudown]

This song is beautiful. It really makes me regret not joining the choir this year.

[alobermeier1]

So beautiful!!! I've passed this video on to many, many people. Help! I've been looking for this sheet music. Which version do I need to order?

[Reluctantwriter7]

What a great job. Certainly does not sound like high school.

[dodismom]

Beautiful job!Harmonics are awesome!

[taintedlover2007]

absolutely amazing. My high school choir did this song as well, and it was the second hardest song we did. the first was called hail thou gladdening light. and now I get to do it a second time in college. The best of luck to you guys! AWESOME!

[ashloo412]

This is the coolest video on youtube! My highschool choir performed this song, and it's absolutely the most beautiful song in the world. I haven't been able to find a recording of it until now, so whoever put this on here.. thank you

[jegarvey1235]

absolutely gorgeous! Its awesome to see an example of a great sound coming from this magnificent piece! my choir is in the process of learning this for district contest. Thank you for the beautiful example!

[skroptunity]

i have two things to say:

first of all- your basses were out, your tenors flatted every 5 seconds, the women overpowered the guys, and i heard a voice that sounded like a bagpipe somewhere.

second of all- what i just said is total BS... this is one of the most beautiful, well-sung version of this song ive ever heard! amazing... well done!

[justdpl]

Great Job! Your school has a great choir. And the acoustics sounded awesome.

[reyesacosta]

its crazy how a three page song is so difficult.

it looks so easy, but some parts of it.

grrrr.

our chorale is singing this as well.

hopefully its just a good with 18 people.

[bq552]

im snging this song for our next chorus concert.!!! its so hard, but this chorus groups is amazing. good job guys.

[pollylou1]

wow. just amazing. such great sound from a small choir. hold on to these times, kids, and continue singing for the rest of your life! what a gift!

[curtiswiens]

Wow. Great harmonies. Sweet acoustics. Great job

[LivingSacrifice94]

my high school choir sang this and yall got us doc. This is really good! The chords are beautiful, and the acoustics there are amazing

[maggieohio]

This sounds like a fine college choir. Truly beautiful singing with excellent balance and artistry. Wish I had a CD of this performance. Thank you for this.

[turningpoint39]

Awsome Awsome Beautiful

[platero55]

I've sung that arrangement many times myself, with great love. Isn't that an amazing bond between fellow choral singer? You guys are great, by the way.

[JaQuay0930]

Beautiful!!!

[fruitball4u]

wow. absolutely amazing. we sing this at Manchester College in Indiana and you guys are just as good, if not better, than we are. simply awesome!

[MaripositadelCoroxx8]

I just commented on "Song of Triumph".. and this one is just as good. I want to be in this choir. The TALENT! Oh goodness.

[angelmom1995]

you made this song sooo pretty.... it was wonderful before but it sounds sooo meaningful now

[KeithB08]

outstanding. the best i've ever heard this performed. GORGEOUS!

[lovelymess]

Beautiful arrangement.

Very good choir, excellent for a high school.

The conductor is to be commended for maintaining that kind of program

[dbookin]

The performance almost made me cry it was so moving

A+++++++++++++

[mlevendula88]

perfect

[solosoprano06]

i love this song.

[jevryday84]

good job!!! basses are pretty good!

[ndolle]

can i have a copy of the music? i love it. great performance

[JKILL468]

oh my gosh. this arrangement is lovely. this is actually the one that inspired me to arrange my version. mine is similar, but i made it my own. this is gorgeous though. the first time i heard it, the California Baptist University performed it at my church and i was speechless. i think that the part where the ladies sing together, "and when I sing," should be a little more up tempo, so that the big stacked chord can have full intensity. my opinion. great job though.

[rsoto6904]

wow that was very good but it would have been perfect if your basses were a tad bit stonge in sound

not saying that they werent strong but the sopranos just kinda blew them out but tha sounded amazing

[takincharge]

Stellar arrangement (Larry Fleming)

with stellar singing.

Exceptional.

Thank you.
