Not bad, but so boring ! No ENERGY ! Even a few "anticipated" beats would have got the congregation to WAKE UP. You can MAKE them sing if you know how.
Descant wasn't bad, but could have been a LOT more creative.
What a shame that none of the people in the video chose to lift their voices in praise to the risen Christ, instead choosing to be spectators observing the procession. Worship is participatory, not a spectator event.
This is similar 2 way its played at my church-St Joesphs Cathedral in Hartford CT. However we are so very blessed to have the Hartford Symphony Orchestra perform at both Easter and Christmas! Brings me to tears every time!
The organist should have pulled out more stops than that for this hymn. My organist uses full during the intro, she does that because it gets people interested in singing.
@dwarrren9 - I do sorta agree with you. However, its sounds as if there's a brass section, etc there...maybe the organist didn't want to drown out the instrumentalists and the choir??? Depending on the set-up and accoustics, he may have had to do that on purpose. Or, just for the sake of respecting the other musicians. Overall, thisd is a very nice even combined sound.
Well I like this. One of my favourite hymns. Thank you for posting.
