Away From the Roll of the Sea

[aluangla]

This is a very well done piece...one problem I have with it though, is that it is a little bit fast.

[AlphonseLover168]

My women's select choir is singing this an octave higher

[dotofbett]

From a fellow choral director - which state is MMEA?  Well done. I had treble choirs perform this but it is lovely with men's voices!

[sflorman]

@dotofbett : Minnesota. My eldest son was a senior performing in this choir, and I'm grateful someone got it on video (although I do have the CD). A beautiful song, it still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. Hard to believe this was the result of just a few days of work for these talented young people.

@dotofbett

Minnesota- this was my younger brothers first year in all-state, I was the previous two year, and my older brother the two before that. Great Choral programs in Minnesota.

[PrestigiousSail]

Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I loved it! It was handled with such perfection and cleanliness, and in the chorus, it was perfect! I loved every minute of it! BRAVO!!!!

[Varjele]

nice job!

[Seximamii1314]

i love when they sing not when my vocal class sing it, not that we sound bad but it's a really hard song to sing.

[TaylorandTiffany09]

i really like this song with all guys..im in a all girl chior and we are doing this :)..but u guys sound great!

[Ezechielpitau]

@TaylorandTiffany09:

How to make a good choir out of a mediocre one? Take away the sopranos.

And a great one? Take away the altos too ;)

Just kidding of course, I love mixed choirs :)

[vatorudy]

@Ezechielpitau hahaha, im glad you said sopranos first! lmao

[MinSu29]

Last year the all girl's choir I was in sang this. We did amazing. But this choir sounds even better!

[apdsqueaky]

My county choir [mixed] is doing this this year!  I love this song! And this sounds amazing!!

[surfinbabe329]

wow the guys are really good! a little fast tho. but really good!

[TheSungerson]

I dunno, I think the pace which they are singing completely changes the colour and mood of the song. Nevertheless, still a job well done.

[MurderOfSuburbia]

you guys are singing really fast!!!! but its absolutely beautiful

[kmartb]

a little top heavy, I was wishing for more bass. Still loved it though

[oreopixies77]

@kmartb im singing it in an SSA chorus. Im a soprano one but i really dont like when peices become topheavy. it happens too much.

[WAMYBAR]

i wish nebraska had an all men's choir...

[666ForYou]

In my high school boys choir we performed this at festival and received gold.

Its been a while since ive heard it.

Still gives me goosebumps.

[hipposrkewl145]

it was good, but i thought it was a little fast

[foxy4444]

yea! thats me! stan carlson and bj were the shit!

[jeliebeen]

Sung this song for All State... it was my favorite. XD <33

[MGZolyn]

I just found out today that I made all-state!

I'll be in the mixed choir!!! I'm excite :D

[Glueflames]

Congrats to you! I know that's a big deal. I made all state this year too. But I was in SSA. I'm a S2. We sung this song along with a few others.

**I know the women who wrote this. She's really lovely. :)

[MGZolyn]

omg seriously you know her?!?!

this is my FAVORITE choir song ever.

I'm jealous :[

[Glueflames]

Yea, she was my director for all state. :)

[Scooterfruit]

This is Diane Loomer's arrangement for Chor Leoni. I happen to sing in Chor Leoni and I love this song. I get to sing with her every week. In fact I just did tonight. She'll be glad to hear that this music is well recieved!

[trebleclefme]

I second that movement. I sing in Diane Loomer's Elektra Women's Choir, and we also sing this song but in SSA! its so awesome to see her music being sung so distant from our home in vancouver!

[jph728]

She is directing 2008-2009 All-State Men's Chorus (Minnesota)

[MGZolyn]

i met her there when i was at all state and feaked out! hahaha :D

[xMustlovepuppiesx]

Ahw,congrats!

C:

I made it this year and I had so much fun.

[danslongball]

sorry, It's highschool grades 10-12

[danslongball]

This is the Minnesota All-state Men's Choir 2007-2008. I was at this concert, my brothers in the choir! :)

[eurogurl24]

what grade is this?? (i.e. senior, junior, etc.)

[jph728]

Juniors and Seniors

[kkcuttie04]

iim singing this song wit my choir for a comp. in florida =]

[teplin444]

great dynamics !!!awesome

[SporadicLove]

Our girls glee sang this for contest and got a I rating.. nice piece here

[yoyobran]

This sounds great! I've only previously heard this song in mixed male/female and all female versions, but I really like the sound of all guys singing this song. I sang this in high school in my Select Chorus, and my current community chorus will be singing this for our spring concert in May. This song is awesome!

[agentkro]

Maryland all state choir did this song today..we had girls though. I was a bass 2. We also sung it quite slower...which no offense I think sounds better.

[FrozenRose03]

Hey person my name is Alla. I was also in the Maryland junior all state this year. We did sound better though; just because it was slower. Well anyway im an alto 1. What county do you live in?

[xMustlovepuppiesx]

Aha.

Sam here.

I LOVED our director.

[xMustlovepuppiesx]

Opps,didn't mean to post that.

o.o

[FrozenRose03]

Wow this has been a long time since i replied to this. Soooooooooooo ummmmmm......are you a base or a tenor

[xMustlovepuppiesx]

I was an Alto 1 when we did this for Jr. All-State.

[FrozenRose03]

Oh that's cool so was I:D

[xMustlovepuppiesx]

Heh,cool.Where did you stand?I was on the floor row because I'm so short. :p

[FrozenRose03]

I think i stood on the floor too; either on the floor or the first step. I am so mad that they didn't show us on the video just our voices. We sounded so freakin good

[xMustlovepuppiesx]

:/

Same here.My mom was disappointed in that too.She asked one of the ladies working at the tabled and she said they're doing it next year or something.So if they have then next year for Jr. All-State I have a chance since I'm going into 9th grade. :D

[FrozenRose03]

Oh that's cool; you will definately make it next year dont worry :D I'm going to tenth grade and dont know if im trying out. Its a very small chance for me to make it since im going against juniors and seniors.

[xMustlovepuppiesx]

Ha,good luck to you,still.

=}

I don't know what I want to do in tenth grade.Whether to stay with normal choir or go for musical theather.If I do musical theather I can't do any of the fun All-State type thing. ;____;

[happygirlcarrie]

This song is so beautiful! I love it. Good job!

[MGZolyn]

wow!! our choir sang this in the fall, but you guys (ha, literally) are waaaaaaaaaay better!

[Linkinparkman79]
