"I Am in Need of Music" (piano acc.) - 2009 Texas All-State Mixed Choir Rehearsal

[madelineharpell]

This is honestly one of the most beautiful things that I have ever heard in my life. You guys are absolutely amazing! We're singing this in my choir and I can only wish that we will sound as good as this. :)

[georgiaxnicole]

my middle school is doing this song in april. (:

[Takhilin]

Our college choir is singing this in concert a week from this sunday. It's going to be badass. :)

[PostParkuor]

In the choir im in we used this as cite reading...I love cite reading now ^__^

[endwarloveforever234]

I was able to sing this song under the direction of Dr. David Brunner in Carnagie Hall with a full orchestra.. the sounds of his music and memories of the performance will never leave my heart.

[singerdreamer0991]

Recently I have had the privilege to sing this piece under the direction of Brunner himself. I think it's a beautifully written song. The piano part is absolutely gorgeous, and each part is written perfectly for this amazing text.

[JittanyBronas1]

3:07 "A spell of rest,

and quiet breath"

Most beautifully sang line in the entire piece.

[codeforcible]

Dr. Brunner is my college choral director! :)  Beautiful piece.

[blacknpurpleshamWOW]

I love love LOVE! the guys part at @2:40 !

[throwerfan22]

This video has 8,400 views and I think 8,000 of them are from me... It never ceased to amaze me when people from all different walks of life and all different backgrounds come together for one reason... to create something truly incredible. This is the most beautiful song I've heard on Youtube. It moves me like nothing else can. ESPECIALLY the women's part at 2:15.. GREAT WORK TEXAS!!! KEEP MAKING BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!!!

[nancypantsy15]

Chill man, chill. I'm sure there is another choir out there who does it better than Texas. Like...Alaska. ;)

[nancypantsy15]

Everything is bigger and better in Texas, until you go to Alaska.

[Jobsta08]

TEXAS Does it Best! I heard someone hit the Low C at the end too!

[Jobsta08]

TEXAS Does it Best!

[Coolbeanz19]

This is the best thing that I've ever heard.

[guymanbob]

It's ironic, 'cause that magic is made by harmony.

Lawl.

[Coolbeanz19]

This performance of this song-ethereal-makes me think of Ancient Greece and Olympic Gods and things lolz it's so awesome. When people lived better and same-sex relationships were openly celebrated as equal with opposite-sex relationships. If only we could somehow open that back up.

[adrianmchapa]

This was an experience of a lifetime.

Musical rapture.

[CJoLu09]

AMAZiiiiiiiiiiiNG!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[Blindevilunderoath]

I have always heard that the Texas All-State was excellent. Well done. We did this piece at All-State here in Kentucky this year, but I was in the TTBB.

[Coolbeanz19]

Ethereal.

[SkaterCase777]

My choir in Arizona did this song this year. It has seriously become my all time favorite piece of music. And you guys sang it beautifully. Its literally flawless guys, nice job.

[deathrock16]

There is so much emotion in this piece!!!! And not everyone has emotion in their music but they def have the emotion that should be in this amazing piece!!! Its beautiful, just simply beautiful!

[keithcubfan]

brings back memories of my Kentucky All State Experience with this song.. great great job.. really good sharing on all 4 parts..

[throwerfan22]

well done!!!

[PlasmaP]

We are singing this in my all-state this year, I cannot wait to do it.

[CMMI007]

This has become like my anthem ever since I sung it with this choir :)

[mochaman15]

Breathtaking!!!!!!  There is hope for the young people of the world! These young people should be very proud of what they have accomplished with this song. Congrats to Dr. Snow.

[Coolbeanz19]

Stunning. :) It would've been absolutely remarkable to be apart of an All-State Choir, but I was selected as an alternate for Ohio's All-State Choir, and I guess no one dropped out :/ This is unimaginably gorgeous.

[Craig42992]

such a gorgeous piece of music. I can't wait to sing this song!

[01928377411]

This performance is one of the things that helps makes music what it is!  Great job!

[bigw2012]

This is freakin heartwarming!!!!!! (So I got 4th Chair Pre-Area, so I guess area can go either way. I'm nervous!)

[musiccoloratura]

Yeah guys ! Seriously its marvelous !!

I've never heard a choir sound that beautiful.

[musiccoloratura]

Congrats, its really beautiful.

I sing this with my group at school and it is one of the best master pieces in Music Ever.

[jessehernandez122]

the girl in the far left really cute ^^ lol and good song :p

[callthepopo15]

i'm glad everyone has such nice things to say. I was 3rd chair Alto 1 in this choir and it was the most amazing experience of my life. if anyone had anything bad to say, I would figure they know nothing about music. I missss thisssssss.

[Xavier72491]

I am in love with this director. I like the way she way she conveys the emotion with her body.

[judithequalsmusic]

ok Dr.X . lol

[choirfreak26]

I love her too :)

I had her as a guest clinician when I was in junior high school and her enthusiasm, attitude, and absolutely positive feedback was what made me decide I wanted to be a choir director in 7th grade. I would kill to be under her direction again; she's absolutely amazing!

[blacknpurpleshamWOW]

@Xavier72491 Her name is Dr. Snow. (I don't know her first name). But she's come to my school before and worked with us. She's an amazing director.

[Haleyjoy0]

@blacknpurpleshamWOW Sandra Snow

[choirfreak26]

@Haleyjoy0 If you're interested in looking her up she's on faculty at Michigan State University.

Piece by David L. Brunner is very good!

[cfweather91]

[lancer6t9]

BEAUTIFUL! Out of all the other groups that I heard sing this song on You Tube, this is definitely the best! TEXAS CAN SING! Very well done! Very soothing and touching! Thanks for posting!

[ktlady623]

Thanks for posting this! It's definitely easier to her the voices without the orchestra. :)

[ToxicPopsicle]

This is just... perfection.

Thank you for posting this. Decent choral music is hard to find around my area, and I thank my lucky stars for YouTube and people like you willing to post these gems.
