@ryanr3300 i just realized this comment was here, and i feel the need to allow you to have your opinion. Nonetheless the use of vibrato in this piece is first of all allowed because they are young voices and it's unhealthy for a young voice to be completely restricted of vocal freedom. And secondly because the text does not influence the use of vibrato, the harmony does, and this is modern harmony, vibrato is certainly appropriate.
that may be. but certain periods of music demand certain styles for the soul reson that it makes the music sound unclear otherwise. It is the case here. The harmonies are so think that the vibrato especially in the sopranos muttles the clear harmonies of the music to an extreme.
True, but Rene Clausen is a Modern composer and this edition isn't 10 years old. I agree it's better without vibrato, but a good rule is color during the phrase and straight tone at the cadence.
Whoever directs this choir clearly doens't know musical history. Ubi Caritas which is a latin text from the Early Catholic Liturgy is a pre renaissance peice. Vibrato in the voice was a post renessiance addition. It is completly inappropriate.
i have been looking and looking and looking for this song! i rememba singin it with mr. redding at west orange my 1 and only yr in chorus and i loved it! mr. redding is a great man and a great choral director!
I really like this arrangement. His interpretation of the music is different from what I've heard before. I don't know if I like it as much this fast. Overall though, a beautiful piece and a very good choir considering the difficulty of this arrangement.

@ryanr3300 i agree with the historical aspect of your comment, but i think that the piece was well done with the vibrato; it made it sound prettier.
