EARTH SONG • Frank Ticheli

[pinkfloydsman2010]

we did this as a Choral/Concert Band piece my junior year of HS...turned out fabulously.

[kalianthie]

LOVE this piece. You guys did a fantastic job. Way to bring it basses and second sopranos, and everyone!

[kristalovesyooh12]

this song gives me hope. simple as that

[xXMRxMIN3CR4FTXx]

comfort and happiness. This means that, when ever we run into bad and gloomy times, we will sing. This song. my favorite.

P.S. My choir sang this too. :)

[xXMRxMIN3CR4FTXx]

What makes me think of this song is the tragic moment of 9/11. The reason is that "Sing, Be, Live, See / This dark stormy hour, / The wind, it stirs. / The scorched Earth cries out in vain". This section is when the North Tower was hit. "Oh war and power, you blind and blur. The torn heart cries out in pain". This makes me think that the plane was just a blur (first one). "But music and singing have been my refuge, / and music and singing shall be my light." This is what some people went to for

[Ninephtaleah]

Simplemente MARAVILLOSO ! :)

[denissetafur]

[DevandasDJ]

I love this song, our chamber ensemble sang it last year:)

[gem33sexy]

[johnpaulwatts123]

My highschool chorus is going to do this at the State Competition in about a week and its amazing.

[kristalovesyooh12]

[sbmacavinta]

SOO GOOD.

[9hipchik]

this song is beautiful:)

[iheartneji13]

This sounds like something Whitacre would write...hehe. Love this song though, it's tremendously beautiful.

[TheRealClaire27]

@iheartneji13 We sang this for Allstate choir, and everyone agreed that it sounded like a Whitacre piece!

[poopr1221]

So today was my concert choir's first rehearsal this year. And in private, I asked my director what the 15 pieces he was considering were. And this was one. And man, this is fucking beautiful, but alas, he said it may just be above most of our singer's level of skill. Really hoping we get to do this.

[narutofreak774]

Song is so fucking gorgeous. I am a bass and it's just great!

[Cooliem4]

I absolutely love this song with all my being, I am so glad we are doing it in choir. I'm a bass, and I love singing all those low notes and everything the song itself is aboslutely stunning.

[carriewhite410]

Love the altos :)

But that might be because that's the part I sang when we did this song my sophomore year of high school. haha.

[Catielynn147]

I thank you for uploading this. My High School choir is singing this for a first concert of the year. This a great choir I really can not believe they are high school! This song means a lot to me.In the song where it's like "Music and singing have been my refuge and music and singing shall be my light." I want that tattooed on my arm. To remind me that music is always going to be there even in hard time. Which is basically the meaning of this song.

[RachaelTheBlonde]

the resonance in some parts is breathtaking... 2:22. absolutely beautiful. 5 stars to the whole performance, and also just to the song itself. amazing piece. i'm very sad to say i was a year too late to preform this song with my choir. i did hear it though and i've never been able to forget it....

[thetrulyricist]

Have you ever heard music that was so good that you wanted to cry? I don't know how Frank Tichelli did it, but he created a piece of music that will bring tears to people's eyes, as well as open their eyes to the current state of our world. The lyrics alone can touch someone, but add the clashing, yet melodic and powerful harmonies that he created into the mix, and it's spine chilling.This is a piece to add to any repertoire. I have to learned to Sing, Be, Live and See... Peace.

[82jdog]

The reverberation and resonance is heavenly.

[SouthernSweetie95]

This is incredibly beautiful. This was one of my honor choir pieces this year..

[shoot100strait]

this choir sounds like it could be a professional choir, everytime i hear this it gives me chills, absolutely STUNNING!!!!!!!!!!!

[kahteeah13]

This is so amazing, and my school's upperclassmen choir sang this at last weekends contest in New York. They were invited to the Gold Ceremony in two years. I wouldn't doubt that this choir would win exactly that. Astonishing voices, and well done.

[xomgshox19]

@kahteeah13 Couldn't have said it any better.

[animegirl804]

I love this song. It's so beautiful. We're sining it in my choir class, and I love it!!

[Songbyrdy]

What a great venue to sing in as well! The acoustics are great!

[shoot100strait]

this is probably hands down the best high school choir on youtube!!!!! absolutely stunning listening to you guys sing this song,

this is definetly the best recording of "Earth Song" on youtube 5 STARS!!!!!!!

[VocalMusicFreak]

Wow... this gave me chills. You guys did such an amazing job. Your interpretation of this piece was simply breathtaking. 5 stars!

[Hieifireshadow]

Oh my goodness.. I absolutely love the acoustics.. I wish we could have sung this song here. My high school's aCappella Choir sang this last year. This is beautiful; kudos to the choir, it's an extremely difficult song.

[rawres]

It's so shocking that a sound of that exquisite quality is coming from only a highschool choir! Absolutely astonishingly beautiful!

[ChrisMarie93]

Breathtaking!! Wonderful. 5/5

[kenkarsonn]

So beautiful!! The only thing I would've worked on was the vowel shape...but other than that, it was very moving and well performed!

[kickerssis04]

we recently perfomed this for an all county chorus performance and i WISH we could've sounded like that :) I mean we sounded pretty good, but y'all dynamics were PERFECT

[hollyforbes28]

This is an amazing performance. And what a gorgeous concert hall!

[purplehen91]

This is the most beautiful song I've heard the choir perform. Tears couldn't help but start flowing. The blend and roundness of the sound is beyond perfect. Everytime I listen to the choir I'm speechless, but this song is utterly amazing.

[Danicicco]

Beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes!

[bsvbd]

"Luar Biasa Indah.." It means awesomely beautiful in Indonesian Language.. ^^

[dvale87]

I can not get over how BEAUTIFUL this song is!!! You did an amazing job with this song. you can feel the emotion so much, its captivating!!!!

[satBASS]

Wow this is beautiful. Such a full sound & the acoustics of the hall adds a great echo ...
