My HS choir is singing this song, and its so much fun! I sing alto, and its the most fun to sing in my opinion. but i would loooove to sing the bass part! that was amazing. great job
I really love this song. We sang this in college and it was such a blessing to sing. This choir's rendition was beautiful even with all the breaths and piano accompaniment. 'Allelujah' being the highest praise, this song will always be a blessing to me and many more! Thanks!
I enjoyed this but it is supposed to be sung accapella. Someone made a comment about having men sing it making a difference. Very true, the bass notes at the end are not ment for younger male voices...it's still a great version of the song.....
2nd hearing, Fine job with all the enunciation! No "lay's" (A-LAY-luia), no hard "Yah's (Allelu-YYAh) - and these are even harder to avoid. Very gentle releases. MUCH hard work went into the nitty gritties of this piece to make it the PRAYER that it was.
Lovely job. Boy, you can sure tell the difference when MEN sing it, rather than teens. (sorry boys) Sopranos did a fine job avoiding becoming shrill at the top and avoiding distorting the ooo vowels up there, as is often the case. Thanks for an enjoyable 5 minutes!
we did this song in college. When we sang it there were NO breaths. It just flowed all the way through. I feel that the breaths in this perfomance detract from the over all effect of the song.
Okay, I have no problems at all with this performance or the overall sound of this choir but why in the world use piano??? It's a capella. If pitch is an issue, very few people in the audience would ever realize if the pitch dropped slightly by the end since choirs always dropped pitch as a group.
MrGrigor99 tnx for the reply. I can't recall now why our conductor had the pianist play during this piece. Subsequent performances were done without the accompaniment
