The Concordia Choir, My Soul's Been Anchored in the Lord arr Moses Hogan

Oops. *mostly

This was misty so beautiful! But you needed harder d's at the end of lord, and when the 'conversation' was going on, you geared towards saying 'do you love 'im?', and there was no noticeable 'h'. Also, in when the girls do 'hallelujah!' in the conversational part of the song, it came out haaalaylujah, and not hahleighlujah. Diction is very important, but you all did a beautiful job. (:

Definitely sounds much more wonderful live than in a YouTube video. Still fun to See Dr. Clausen conducting thought.

@VanSensei The young exalt rigid ideas of perfection involving bits and pieces, while others appreciate the choral contrast to the silence in space and wonder at what's appeared from nothing: the asymmetry of tragic novels, cracks in a cathedral wall, torn oxidized ancient paintings or choirs of human voices whose flaws are the transcendent poetry of a woman without wrinkle, stain or blemish, for those with God in their eyes to see her perfectly imperfect beauty.

To all the weirdo aesthetes who can stare this ANGELIC otherworldly PERFORMANCE in the face and complain or find faults - Jesus has news for you: THIS PERFORMANCE WAS PERFECT IN GOD'S EYES.

And in mine.

@Censored4TRUTH While this piece was beautifully done, there's faults in anything one does.

1 dislike. What the Heck?



[VanSensei]

@AbdielRomero They sound phenomenal, but just a little off-pitch in places.

[JohnBellTV]

@VanSensei I believe what you are referring to is the artistic interpretation of this piece. Obviously, this piece is not your standard church hymn, it is a gospel piece. To stay true to the song Dr. Clausen encouraged scooping and trust me, he would have said something if was not up to his standards. Also, I was in the Choral Festival that he conducted this past spring, and he told us that singing this song straight was no fun.

[VanSensei]

Concordia's tenors are amazing. Most powerful tenors ever. :O

[Singliketom]

@VanSensei I agree.. Some of the best ever, except for refusing to sing anything but chest voice on that damn high A.:P

[bshampton117]

So perfect and so much more exciting and rhythmic than alot of performances of this piece!

[CalebNihira]

Oh, wow. I don't remember Clausen ever moving like that back in my day. Good stuff.
