The solo note is absolutely correct to form a tonic sixth chord. In other words the final chord of this arrangement is exactly the same chord as the end of the Beatles' "She Loves You." The choir and soloist are in tune. End of story.

@aschw1121 Thank you!! I know I was right. I don't know what everyone else is hearing.

Wow---- Morgan State is usually so good, here they are sadly out of tune. Too much wobbly vibrato to keep it in tune. That's a shame, because I have heard them do better. The chord at 2:14 is woefully out of tune, along with the soloist at the end.

[PrazHymn83]

@tenorbear60 I totally disagree. They're in tune, and Frederick's note at the end is EXACTLY where he was supposed to land.

[tenorbear60]

@PrazHymn83 Sorry, but I stand by my assessment. They are out of tune at 2:14 and the tenor is alsmot a half step sharp at the end. I've heard Morgan State sing better than this.

@tenorbear60 You're entitled to that. No harm, no foul....

@tenorbear60 Its your woeful ear...

@TheEllingt0n Thank you i agree the soloist is amazing, and i know how hard this is to sing as my college Choir is performing it :)

[erudofker]

@aschw1121 exactly right. not to mention that the 6th is WRITTEN in the ARRANGEMENT in the tenor 1s

[TheReighnart]

The tenors fine. It's a six chord. There's just no blend at all. I mean, stylistically for a spiritual it's okay to be wild. But this is insane. Way too much vibrato for a style that already allows a ton.

@archerflips Please keep your ignorance of Negro Spiritual arrangements and music in general to yourself, thank you. You and tenorbear.

[TheEllingt0n]

he is out of tune, i'm 20yrs old and teach voice, and direct a choir at a high school in Wash. DC and this choir was out of tune in some parts, but the soloist has a amazing 1st tenor voice! and unlike other choirs i've heard do this song, they have a sense of the importance this song has! but nobody sings it better than Duke Ellington School of the arts, directed by Samuel L.E. Bonds!!!

That was beautiful!!!

OVATION! OVATION! & OVATION! OUTSTANDING CHOIR!

[shirkenXCCR]

so the real problem is not the note. its the bad balance within the choir there. and too much vibrato.

[TEONRE2]

WOW, Sorry I have to agree. The Choir is in tune and having done the solo myself and struggled to find that note i know it too is right on! Sorry you think it is out of tune but really take a look at the sheet music and you will see
