Back in1979 I was a member of The Texas All-State Choir and we performed this piece as well as Stomp Your Foot.

Oh i remember why the piano sounded wonky...there were two pianists playing on the same piano...anyone else remember that XD

Ah, we're doing this in our high school choir. Possibly the most beautiful thing our teacher has ever chosen.
-
Me too! I had a freakin blast.

considering, very weak towards the end, esp. sopranos. the high c lost almost all tone. everything else was pretty good. horrible accompinament though.

A few funky notes in the piano, but MAN, I wish I had sung that! I think "The Promise of Living" would complete my trio of Most Soul-Lifting (Semi-Modern) Choral Works (the first two being, in order, "O Magnum Mysterium" and "Pilgrim's Hymn").
Well done, guys.

my choir sang this piece in Prauge with a czeck choir. I personally am a bass and hitting those high notes were not easy. You gus made it sound so easy and smooth. my chior performed it once and we hit those notes clean but let's just say that after that piece we never wanted to sing it again. Our guys renamed coplands piece the promise of dying we didn't like singing it that much. Good choir, got any other recordings?
