This is a beautiful song and a gorgeous performance. They do go up a half step, but that happens sometimes in a live performance. Makes it a little tough on the 1st tenors, but they handled it well. Congratulations and bravo.

Impromptu concerts are part of CUGC history, I was on the Eastern European tour in 1971 and in Budapest we were forbidden to do a cathedral concert, so we did this piece in the "forbidden " cathedral while sightseeing, Old women cried and wanted to touch us as formal religious services are frowned upon, CUGC was the first American group to play in Hungary in over two years at that point in the Cold War. We packed the small concert hall we were given thanks to the local college student hosts

and last time I sang this was at IMC a couple years ago ... Michigan and Bowling Green and the other groups that were there actually stood up and sang from the third chorus on with us ... one of the most powerful experiences of my life

I'm a proud alum of the Rutgers Glee Club so I won't say anything too nice ... But that is a sound to be proud of ... I love hearing you guys sing, and greatly enjoyed your visits.

This epitomizes the Glee Club for me. If only we could've caught the truly spontaneous Danny Boy.

What amazing acoustics, and what a wonderful tour!

It just figures. I'm on sabbatical in Australia, and to audition for a chorus I need to prepare a very short snippet of music, unaccompanied. I thought, the melodic line from Biebl's Ave Maria would stand on its own, and it has been burned into my brain since I sang with the Cornell Glee Glee Club in 1979.

But I'm away from home and don't have my CD collection. But here's the CU Glee Club, in China for gossakes, doing an impromptu performance. So typical. Well done fellows!

Wonderful version. I remember being on tour in Europe with the Yale Glee Club and singing this in random places--it's a phenomenal piece and the audiences would always be rapt.
