we're going on tour with this song! and lucky us, our conductor met mr. whitacre so he knows exactly what he wants the piece to sound like

excellent song

@lifeinahand Just checking.

[lifeinahand]

@Bub1029 of course we did! Whitacre just talked to our conductor about what was going through his head when he composed this and what he imagined it would sound like.

@lifeinahand That's nice, but isn't part of music and performance making it your own?

love the song, but I can hardly hear my (the alto) part. but hey, that's nothing new, is it?

[alltimelowfreakkk]

I love how he kind of dances when he conducts. haha

@maestronaes Yeah Its really bad. It's the baritone section. >_< I sang this in my choir last year and sure baritone is the HARDEST part because you shouldn't be heard but it holds everything together. we sand it on stage just fine but when we traveled to like NY and other places we kinda messed up the up-beats. :P It's a very hard piece and they did alright. everything else is fine...

@jakekelleybenfrank really?? haven't heard this song yet, but if she was flat, she did well, hearing this song for the 1st time, i would say it's good. . .

we are singing this at our choir. I get goosbumps all over, because I remember one scene from the Movi "Little Ashes" when they execut Frederico Garcia Lorca

I`m thankful to perform his word at our small town

The video just proves that if you're watching a choir that sounds amazing and you don't know who the conductor is, look at his head. Is it full of long blonde locks? It's Whitacre.
