Doane Choir- Ask The Watchman

The Doane Choir performs "Ask The Watchman" by Paul Caldwell & Sean Ivory at the 2008 Christmas Festival.

Text:
Ask the watchman "How long?" (solo x3)
How long we gonna moan?
It don' madduh how long (solo x3)
We'll wait for the dawn
How ya gonna greet the day? (solo)
Prayin' that's the way, Singin' that's the way, Swayin' that's the way.
I'm gonna shout! Speakin' in tongues, that's the way...
That we'll greet the day (solo)
O day, yonduh come duh day (x3) Day break in ma soul.
Daylight is makin' me whole, yonduh come duh day (x3)
Daylight break in ma soul! Go get the preach-uh!
Get who-evuh you can...Go get a drummuh! Tell 'im we need a hand...

A great soloist, great dynamics, but the soloist should try to relax a little.

@hereverydayadventure Alright do that. I'm eager to hear. :)

@BIubbit01 I don't mean to toot my own horn but our school choir just might have the perfect soloist. He's brilliant. I'll try and find a recording of it.

[BIubbit01]

The soloist is good, but he is overselling it WAY to much. I have yet to find the perfect soloist for this song. Our choir didn't have one, another one didn't have one, this one doesn't have one.

@Haruhi072 I agree. ^_^

[Haruhi072]

[JescaLovey]
