UGHHH THIS SUCKEED ARE THERE NO GOOD RECORDINGS OF THIS SONG THAT ARE STYLISTICALLY CORRECT and whats with the wrong notes??? tenors? ohhh they are flat so are the sopranos just think up on pitch oh god i just heard the end someone delete this
-"I want to meet my mother" means I was sold away before I ever met her by some bastard slave holder. Text this deep cries out for more raw anger and desperation, please!
The "Soon-ah will be done with the troubles of the world" was amazingly done. The verses could have been worked on a bit more. The first Fp ( can't remember how to spell the actual meaning of Fp sorry D: ) could have been worked on a bit more. The end was a bit rough. I loved it though. Over all nicely done.
I think this video rocks!!!! my shcool is singing this song and you guys so kick our asses lol !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and i love the guys...they sound so great and so do the girls keep singing cause soon ah will be done lol
Your choir has a great sound, but you look a little robotic. There is so much opportunity for motion and feeling and drama, and it falls a little short. Pitchy in places, sopranos-loud does not always equal intense. Overall, it was a good performance.
this was ok! its a hard song. 2 things i must say is that the sopranos sound like they are shouting and the tenors sounded a little off pitch but it was good! A little more improvment and it would have been perfect! Great job!
i really love this song, and the way it was done, but i didn't like the way it was filmed. what was with the camera guy always focusing on the four people on the left?
I didn't like what she did at 1:47 that much. I like it straight on. Maybe instead of that she should have maybe made it low, and then cresendo'd it up. That would have sounded better.
thats not how the song was written. on the word "wailing" its suposed to be a loud forceful entry(kinda like someone is "WAILING") with a sudden softnes cresendoing in to a finishing of the phrase.
I really like this song. i also want to sing this for my schools spring concert. I've heard this song sung by 3 different groups on youtube and you guys were a tie for first even though your a smaller group. On 1:47 i though it sounded Great. Im new to chorus but isnt it a sforzando? watever it is it sounded amazing! good job
mooOOooorRe xD . True though, it would be much better if they sang they hearts out on that part, rather than the MooOOOrrE ... . Still, I like it, good job :) .
that was good.its much better than wen we sing it.. i actually started a new school so im in a new choir and it doesnt sound anythang like my old school but yea that was good
jetson was a bit harsh... might sound like he/she knows what they;re talkign about.. but it seems to be a small group, it's harder for a you to blend...
theres only so much you can do when you have so many people.
Well just look at that girl, she is already telling the audience something is not right. I am hearing an issue in the guys part before 1 min. I would like to see better diction at the beginning of the song. What are we staying at 1:15? Ouch, bring it together on 1:50. Great song choice, who actually wants to be here? Ok very delayed ending, should I account the accoustics of the room for that break down at the end? Average performance. I enjoyed it though.
i hear no altos

Slow down-are you late for a fire or something?
This spiritual must be heard horizontically as well as vertically-let it breath, please.
Tenors-intonation on the no more wailin' parts-sounds as if they are singing the wrong notes.
Good job all on balance-with so many more women than men,getting top heavy would have been easy.
More enthusiasm needed, although this may come when it is slowed down enough to where the words are legible.

good. but so quite!

you're supposed to crescendo on "more" and be just as loud on "wailin'" and slowly fade off.
