  • The director has to cool the conducting down a bit . Looks as if she/he is going to knock some of it's choir members in the face.

  • This is a very beautiful, heartwarming and dramatic composition written by Mr. Cooney BUT the interpretation here was rendered very fast and very rythmical, Most of the dynamics were not observed especially the pianos and crescendos and accelerandos, ritardandos and sustenotos and fortissimos!!! Over-all, it lack drama and character if you ask me...

    I have heard other Choirs performed this magnificent piece and it gave me goose bumps and tears!

  • Why is it a bass who always forgets his folder?

  • Amen

  • i don't think we're in kansas city anymore :)

  • I can't wait to get back to our parish in Florida and sing this uplifting song again! We have a wonderful brass section that gives this song such a flair! This song commands a brisk tempo or it drags.

  • @philsfan24 i agree!!! I went there for a Confirmation and it was absolutely beautiful! please tell your director I said!

  • Where's the fire? Probably one of Rory Cooney's most versatile pieces, this song is supposed to be STATELY, not rushed. Suitable for weddings, funerals, graduations, endings, beginnings, etc. Rory definitely outdid himself.

  • verse 4: All the worlds I have not seen you open to my view.

    Here among you I have found a vision bright and new.

    verse 5: To the tombs I went to mourn the hope I thught was gone.

    Here among you I awoke to unexpected dawn.

    This is one of those songs, that can be sung in any number of ways, the occassion dictates the tempo and manner in which it is presented.

    At St. Peter and Paul the Apostles church in Bradenton, Florida it is sung with a flair in the concluding song of Sunday mass.

  • The tempo is very good. If anything, it could be picked up somewhat more.

    This is a joyous and exhuberant hymn, that should be sung with exhuberance and enthusiasm!

    Certainly, one of my very favorite hymns.

    The director is doing an excellent job.

    I believe there are five verses to Jerusalem, My Destiny.

  • how many verses does this song have? piperkd1 uploaded a version that has an extra verse i've never heard before

  • love this song on palm sundays
