The Awakening - NHSN Men's Choir 2003

No video. Just listen.
Norman High School North Men's Choir, Mostly Mozart concert 2003

I dreamed a dream, a silent dream
of a land not far away
where no bird sang,
no steeples rang,
and teardrops fell like rain.

I dreamed a dream, a silent dream.
I dreamed a dream of a land so filled with pride
that every song, both weak and strong,
withered and died.

I dreamed a dream
No hallelujah, not one hosanna!
No song of love, no lullaby,
And no choir sang to change the world,
No pipers played, no dancers twirled,
I dreamed a dream, a silent dream.

Silence

Awake, awake!
Soli deo gloria!
Awake, Awake!
Awake my soul and sing,
the time for praise has come.
The silence of the night has passed,
a new day has begun!
Let music never die in me,
forever let my spirit sing!
Wherever emptiness is found
let there be joy and glorious sound.
Let music never die in me,
forever let my spirit sing!
Let all our voices join as one
to praise the giver of the sun!
Awake, awake! Let music live!

I only wish the, "No Alleluia, Not one hosanna, no song of love, no lullaby" was fortissimo like it was marked in the piece.

[WeightlessAnchor]

there was like no dynamic change whatsoever. :/ other than that it was preety good. just watch the vowel on the word "I" open your mouth like you would say the word "ah"

My choir joined with other choirs at Morehead State University, and this song with an SATB choir of almost 200 people, sounds absolutely amazing.
