  • yeah, i don't know why every conductor does it so fast... i guess i am a bit partial to a slower tempo because i am trying to learn it and this song is damn hard!!!

    lol

  • Most conductors would take it fast for many reasons, one maybe their choir cannot handle the phrasing and need it at a faster tempi so the line isn't lost, and also another reason is Lauridsen is very picky about his tempo, he has said before that choirs that try and send him tapes of them singing his songs and if it is a few clicks from the tempo he wanted he wont listen to them! so conductors try and make sure to try and keep his interpretation of the song.

  • wow best ive heard on youtube our mens chorale did this song also. nice

  • very nice, great blend and good dynamic. :)

  • *don't try to make their coughs quiet, is what I meant

  • I don't like people who text in movies, I don't like people who talk in movies, I don't like people that make obnoxious sounds in movies... but I CAN'T STAND people who walk out in the middle of a choir performance, or try to make their coughs quiet so the audience can hear the song. If you're sick, DON'T COME!

  • Thought the tempo was a little to fast and ruined the song for me. Shoulda been a little slower so the audience could really feel it. Just sayin

  • This video is helping me pronounce the words! Thank you & good job on the performance!

  • @choirnerd99 i liked your choirs interp. you should take a look at my diestrict choir singing this, district 9 chorus dirait-on. ;-)

  • too fast for effectiveness

  • The coughing really ruined this video. 

  • ok, so i read the tempo markings in choir and set my metronome...yeah its intended to be that fast....kudos to this particular choir. (:

  • they did do it very fast whoa! lol still beautiful though
