I sang this for all-state choir three years ago(not very well) and up until now I never appreciated the beauty of this music. Our 150-person choir is performing Sleep, and I'm now a huge fan of Eric Whitacre. Excellent performance.
This sounds very good. I absolutely adore this song with a passion. the story is so touching. The first time we sang this in high school our director took half a class just trying to get us to fully understand the emotion to the piece and just looking at the words. One of the best choral songs in the world in my opininon.
It's gorgeous. There seems to be a little bit of push from the second sopranos/altos in the first ten seconds, but otherwise perfect. The sopranos hit it all perfectly.
@BassBunnieGirl ya i agree with the first ten secs...but i think it possibly had to with the recording and position of the mics at the live performance...
@toneant It probably was. :] Though I know from experience it's pretty easy to push right off, especially when excited/nervous about a performance. And of course!
mmmmm. this song gives me the most delishious tingaly feeling. It is so emotional! I love the dynamics used in it. beautifulist thing I have ever heard!
I LOVE this song so much! It's so gorgeous! I am singing it with the choir I'm in, Kokopelli. I'm so excited! It is so beautiful! This is the best rendition of in I've heard on Youtube so far.
This is a very beautiful rendition of this song - but there are moments where voices stick out. That's the ONLY thing that's nit-picky about this. Otherwise, beautiful!!
I was proud to be in the University Singers from '71 til '76. Glad to see Fullerton has continued to lead the way in the finest choral music anywhere. Looking forward to more videos of this group on YT.
Oh WOW. We are singing this song in choir and singing it gives you such a high of wow...this is beautiful. But hearing it done so beautifully with all the dynamics absolutely PERFECT it's just....a mind blowing feeling.
I really really really really really want to sing this song with my choir but they did it when I was in jr high and he wants to wait longer. I WANNA FREEKING DO IT lol o wel until then I am going to learn it. anywhere know where I could find like a recording of the seperate parts or something?
