THAT EVER I SAW- CENTRAL ISLIP HIGH SCHOOL CONCERT CHOIR

[SingToMySoul]

My ensemble is doing this song. It's so beautiful... great job!

[TaeSmileyface]

so amazing! Our High School choir is doing this song (:

[aries117]

can't hear the E flat from the basses on the last note. and also the basses are supposed to stay on the A during "...that wonderfully wrought" not go down to the G with the tenors. Other than my nitpicky-ness its good :]

[SFsuperforte]

It's hard to believe these are high schoolers. Tenors entered the passaggio on the G beautifully.

[BreeMajor]

loveee !

[iGookin]

Beautiful choir. The last note could be a little more supported though..

[KarolyJSK]

Love it...

[loftpjhp]

I'm singing this in my spring high school concert.

[ilovemutemath]

your tone is incredible

[TaberuChan]

The choir Im in sang this last year for a festival and I thought we were great. But man! This is just awesome.

[MelissaMarieIngalls]

We're doing this song too! You guys are soooo amazing!!! :)

[looneytoohey]

Very, very, very well done!!!

[mariolord10]

This is one of my favorite songs that my choir ever sang. I just wish I had a recording of our performance... This is really good, though.

[blackoutseal]

I love the song i must say the mens section was loud until that E flat at the end which i faintly heard but i still give it a thumbs up

[nutinworks]

VERY GOOD !

[ilovemutemath]

my mads are doing this, and it's soooo good. Great job, y'all.

[choirboybjs]

This choir is AMAZING!!!

[annamul87]

This group has a fantastic sound for a high school choir. I'm getting ready to start my first year of teaching vocal music. GREAT SONG...I'd love to do it with my group sometime.

[coletaylorn]

Well damn! Great job

[keydet72]

Great sound from a high school choir, you should be very proud.

[morgankbsbfan]

we are doing that song for competition

[superheroman04]

JAnthony37 - what an amazing job you've done here! As a choral director myself, I know that both you and your students have worked incredibly hard to get such an amazing sound. You all should be proud of the wonderful music being made.

Keep making stellar music - it has the power to change lives and affect people in profound ways!

[Greaterlife897]

Now this is MUSIC!

[prettylyrics]

amazing. we did this at competition one year and won :)

-Terah This made me cry :)

[Breakdancingguru]

We're doing this piece too. I really love it. Ours is slightly different at like 2 points haha. Being a tenor for this is especially fun.

[MonPetitChouXo]

I love this song, and you guys sing it wonderfully. We sang it my senior year in high school, and I fell in love with the piece...It was a pleasant surprise to see Darmon Meader arrange a more 'classical' piece, because I'm used to singing his Vocal Jazz pieces.

[jhiti26]

i absolutely love this.

[a2thelexhaha]

i want this song to be sung at my wedding! we're singing it too!

[omfgitsthomas]

my choir did this song too, and ours in one of the top in the state, but not gonna lie, this probably a bit better then we did.

[actmyage9]

janthony37, are you in the group? I am a director of the Western Warrior High School Choir in Louisville KY. For years everyone has used the excuse that Western does not have a choir because it is "West Louisville" I know better. This coming year we are going to start down the road to success!!! It is starting now. I am doing auditions for next years group. Do you have any song suggestions?

[Soooperfresh]

i freaking looooooooooooove it

[oompaloompa52091]

lol i love how the comments are so critiquing. the song is already sung people. Janthony37 your choir is amazing. you are sooo lucky to have a HIGH SCHOOL choir like this. yikeeess yikeess yikesss. someone dominates nyssma majors hmm?? i love this song. when i get married i'll have to make them sing it lol.

[Kareth91]

The basses were too dark on the verse. With a unison line, the sound needs to be further towards the teeth. The tenors needed to be taller on their line.

HOWEVER, the rest of it was amazing. The gel for the chords was impeccable.

[DvorakArt]

You would have won if it Was.

[SouthPacificImprov]

i'm in an honors choir in my high school, and we're preforming this song for our spring concert. that ever i saw is a song that requires high concentration and listening ability, especially if you're in a small ensemble like mine (25, SATB). but choirs like these make this song seem easy.. obviously your choir does an excellent job in listening to each other and understanding dynamics to this piece because that ever i saw has an incredible amount of feeling. awesome performance

[adaybefore]

I live right near islip , the story of the choirs really cool to, they really turned around the shcool choir, and now win 1st level NYSSMA with gold and honor every year. He's is a great director.

[Emm0012]

I am so thankful to have a recording of this somwhere. I sang this two years ago in a 8 person choir--- it was lovely but THIS... takes my breath away. it is perfectly sang. We need to get this on i-tunes or something so I can have this beautiful song recorded.

[tanvalencia77]

FUCK YEAH! THOSE BASSES KIK ASS!

[oddlittleduckling]

wow- amazing performance!!

[Soooperfresh]

I can't believe this is a HIGH SCHOOL choir, they are so amazing! THEY SOUND PRO. I got the music for this today in choir, I FELL IN LOVE WITH IT.

[biegel88]

Who wrote this lovely arrangement?

[EbonieMarie89]

I got the chills/goosebumps while watching this. WOW

I bet the choirs that had to perform after them were pissed..lol

[mudanzastgb]

I love this song! I sang it with an a capella group I was in and it was my favorite song of all we sang. I want to sing this to my wife on our wedding day when I get married. It's just so beautiful, powerful and passionate!

[crunkcymbals09]

i just love listening to yall sing

yall really have an amazing gift for singing

[BrendanofSeton]

I'm bored at work ordering choral music and thought I would listen to "The eyes of all": now I can't put this choir down. I must attend your next concert if you're local.

[trumpetchick26]

Wow the sound is great

[soprano17sc]

i dont think ive ever heard a high school choir with basses like that...

[thirddayrocks]

And I just LOVE that 2nd bass note at the end. My brother is a 2nd bass and he always go to sing that low note at the end. It was amazing. :)

[musicdavidbahr]

Darmon Meader wrote the music, the lyrics are an anon. text. We sang this in my choir, and I'm a tenor...ahh! so great.

[SingingCowgirl]

Beautiful!!!

[conductor78]

Very nice. Who composed this piece?

[delusionsofmind]

I just sang this last night in my high school spring concert, and it's my favorite piece that we've ever done. -- You guys did a wonderful job with it!!! =D

[FREEASTHESTARS]

beatiful song love the chords and harmony great job guys!

[sapphire5434]

ok i love this performance full of emotions n i have to tell a really talented choir love it

[satBASS]

AMAZING! I watch all the videos that this school puts up. This song and "soon i will be done" are my favorites. Keep putting up these great performances!

[apri2008]

wow

[FineyLeee]

It's about time I left a comment here. I really love this song, and that high school choir is VERY talented.

Love your work, and what you're doing with the music, John!

[Alieya08]

This is beautiful....I'm tearing up. GREAT JOB.

[PunkRockLostie815]

Same here!! It's absolutely beautiful!

[fangelchild]

This is amazing. Great job, you guys! My choir performed this for our fall concert, and we were actually selected by our governor to be the ND Governor's Choir 2008! But our performance of this is never this good, because the seconds tend to go flat and the sopranos sharp... v.v Great job, though! You guys are perfect! ^^

[quadkid123]

Mr. Anthony this is OUTSTANDING!!! This is a big difference from 3rd period!!!! Great Job!

[pennymusicMAma]

This is sublime & divine. -Penny (W.N.A.C.)

[canman5060]

A wide range of dynamic and beauty from this piece of choral work.I personally like fugal style.

[julesbait]

I can understand why. This is a beautiful peice. It's been stuck in my head all day! :)

[julesbait]

I can't believe this is a high school choir. That is one talented group of kids!

[JPSaxMan]

@julesbait Ditto...a wonderful sounding choir of young musicians!

[morriss891]

continued from last post- . 2-I belive the tempo could have been a bit slower.Also the conductor took interesting places to shorten words such as "small" and "say".He could have also slowed the suspensions on the repeated verse.Once again, all of this is opinionative, as conductors always approach things differently.Overall, very well done. You sound better than most high school choirs for sure.

[morriss891]

I just performed this piece with my college choir and have only two gripes with what you've done.1- The basses didn't sing the right note in the middle section, first verse last word.However, this could have been done intentionally by the director.

[platero55]

Seriously, that got me misty-eyed.

[winnryautomail]

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[DitsyDonut]

Simply amazing.

[DarknessHowls]

This is great...your robes are badass and your singing is gorgeous.

[shadowrat]

JESUS CHRIST! we did this last year, and after watching this i'm embarassed to have ever performed it in comparison to yours... you bring the best out in every chord! VERY WELL DONE!

[TheKnightatDawn]

We are right now practicing this song...to say the least it doesn't sound a thing like this.:(

but you are Awesome!!!

[PerfectlyImperfect46]

AMAZING!
