One word......Amazing!!!

[TheAntoniSchonken]

It was a great honour to sing in such an amazing choir that day. Music is man's greatest blessing, transcending all the mundane glory of scientific endeavour. At that moment, every soul in the choir was bound.

Despite its apartheid past, when humankind get together to produce such glorious harmony we know that there's hope and love abounds. May the Good Lord Bless you all!

[Deemarcoenay]

Just beautiful...the kind of music that sends a tingle down your spine

Beautiful! Andre van der Merwe is one of the best conducters ever!

[pduplessis1984]

wow, andré van der merwe is truly a visionary. i was in that choir when we won mixed youth choirs category in 2004. i remember it like it was yesterday. hard work and dedication pays of in the end - andré's brilliant leadership qualities brought me so much closer to fully understand what that means.

oh, and CONGRATULATIONS on winning two categories in china 2010!!!! you make us proud, guys!!!!!

@pduplessis1984 It was an INCREDIBLE experience. Please watch some of the videos from this year's competion (not great quality I'm afraid) and let me know what you think!

Sacado de otro comentario aqui en YOU tUBE :

"John Newton (1725-1807), escocés y autor de este himno, llegó a capitán de navío como traficante de esclavos. Celebra en su letra el momento en que se convirtió, "por la gracia de Dios", al abolicionismo, del que se transformaría en un militante sobresaliente. Amazing Grace se convirtió, a su vez, no sólo en el emblema musical del abolicionismo, sino en el de la lucha negra en general.

[MrRedFredSaid]

V.good performance - but, for me, a rather portentous and overblown arrangement.
