I think anyone complaining about the swaying is just upset they aren't in a choir this good. Can't we appreciate the beauty of this and also the passion exhibited by the singers? If that's not what music is really all about I think something is seriously wrong

So glad to see movement in the choir!

shut up and enjoy the music haters

The only experience I ever had with choir was elementary honor choir, and was always taught to stand perfectly still. Then I got into a big kids choir when I reached college. Movement is integral to what we do. You CANNOT sing something as emotive as this without some movement. You feel the music from the inside out. That's why they're so wonderful. They feel it! LOVE IT!

@frclough This is one of the best choirs in the world! If you have a problem with the way they are pronoucing a phrase, take it up with Anton Armstrong (World known choir director). I'm sure that conversation will go down well!

@pjayman93 I was so focused on the beautiful tone quality and blend that I did not even notice the swaying. This music is so amazing.

There's a reason they're the best choir. Fabulous choir.

Dr. Christiansen would be so proud!

@frclough I agree... I know for a fact that if you had lead us, we could have shined above the veil of perfection that you seek. But thank you for pointing out the flaws of a bunch of 20-22 year old singers.
