Lamar High School Show Choir singing "Remember"

This video features "Rhapsody", the Lamar High School Show Choir, singing a song called "Remember" by Stephen Chatman. It is based upon the poem of the same name by Christina Rossetti. It is a beautiful poem, and equally beautiful music. Lyrics below.

Remember
by Christina Rossetti

REMEMBER me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.

my women's Choir is singing this. Everytime we do this piece I cry cause it reminds me of my grandmother. Sometimes Mr. Lee let's me leave to calm down

[LittleBillification]

your tenors sound like they're yelling..... and there's not that much emotion........ i sang this at Annapolis, Maryland and we got gold, and now this year we're going to Carnegie Hall in NYC, and we might sing it there as well.

[Varjele]

tough song to sing.

[alejarren]

This sucks, lmfao!

[switchingemini]

nicely done... could have leaned into those cords a little more and a little more contrast but still... well done... it's a hard song to sing... i sang alto when i sang it
