i thank You God for most this amazing day (Whitacre) performed by the Tyler Junior College A Cappella Choir. This video is taken from the Spring 2010 Concert "What a Wonderful World: Songs of Hope, Healing and Love" featuring Cynthia Clawson at First Presbyterian Church in Tyler, Texas. The A Cappella Choir is an open-enrollment ensemble at TJC and is more than sixty-five voices strong. Nathan A. Russell, conductor.
I want to kick that editor that put a page turn right in the middle of that "How should tasting..." section. So exposed!

Isn't it wonderful to sing this magical piece? To create these sonorous chords with your fellow choristers, to "hang on to" your director's hands and facial expression?
I hope that you enjoyed it, and will cherish the memory.
As to the performance, I think the recording does not do it justice. The soprano's do a fine job - but recorded from this distance the choir is dominated by their sound. You can balance the chords better by recording from a closer distance, and with a good microphone.
