Wow, you really have no knowledge of how singing diction works buddy! Granted, this group is not doing the best job with their pronunciation either, but "water" is one of the most important words in this entire piece. It needs to be stretched to its full potential in order for the listener to truly grasp the beauty in the text. If it was sung as "wah-tuh" with a slight 'r' on the end, it would sound AMAZING! But only emphasize the first syllable, and let the second be a schwa vowel.

Very impressive that a high school choir pulled off this VERY tough piece.

Vowel shapes...my only complaint

The awkward cough.....

I'm in love with the altos in this choir. usually 2nd alto is the part you can barely here in choirs. not here, nice and clear! bravo

i think that considering that this is a high school choir, they did a good job. I think there are some people here who are commenting on videos just to sound smart. Everyone needs to calm down and respect that this group has talent.

now if only the camera operator could have held the camera steady. That's what tripods are for and the way the best videos are created...so as to eliminate distractions... excellent musical performance - especially for a high school group !

we sang this song and i love the alto part but the altos were flat in this vid!

Just want to put this out there, we worked on this for just a few weeks if I remember correctly. I know we could have been better, but for the amount of time we spent on it plus how many other songs we spent working on at the same time, I think we did ok.

As impolite as that is.....the performance gorilla speaks of is just incredible.

I think yall did a good job on this song, i mean i heard one of the best choirs in texas sing this song and they sounded amazing lol keep it up
wow, very well done. i think this is probably as good as a high school choir can do it.
still... you need men with more mature voices to support the sound... it sounds pretty hollow without them! still props to you for putting it together so well.

It was hard being the only Bass II who could actually rumble down there. Looking back, I still think we did an okay job.

You guys should argue elsewhere, leave this area open for comments, not debates.
