OH MY GOD...that 1st song is awesome! i think its my new favorite choral song, not to mention they sing it amazingly! i see why they won. And the 2nd song was SO beautiful, wow.

'All Too Soon' is a really cool piece! It appeals to those not interested in choir [haha] because of the simple piano part. It sticks in your head :)

I love All Too Soon so much. Best choir song in existence :)

I agree 100% because it make sit more interesting. I also hate how the conducter made it so bouncy, it has to flow

[summertimegirl44]

is the conductor amish?

I give you guys props! Al thought I would have slow it down a bit. Some of the notes weren't hit like "Fundy part" it drops for sopranos at the end of the line. But pretty good. When it's so fast though it kind of looses those awesome conflicting parts. Because they aren't held out so you don't really notice them (i.e.) Never could cooommmaaaannnnd

Not comand

I agree with a lot of comments, it sounds better slower, I think. The tempo they're singing at makes it sound like the poor singers can't even breathe... at all. They sound good, however.

we're singing "all too soon" in choir, and it's supost to be nice and slow, why is it so fast?? SOOO much nicer when slow O.o

My choir is singing All Too Soon, and I love it. Coincidentally, our high school's best choir group is also called Counterpoints.

I adore the alto part of "All Too Soon." It makes me miss singing alto. (I was an alto last year, but my new director changed me to a soprano II.)

@born2broadway  true that... its insanely catchy

I was a sophomore in the Chamber Singers at Avon High School last year; we did Bogoroditse and it instantly became our favorite :) Russian seemed like a nice break from latin or greek stuff.

This is one of the best choirs I have come across here on youtube. AND the song is sung perfectly. Other choirs sing it just a bit too slow. AND there is a brilliant balance between the sections. A+!!

I agree. Although it was sang beautifully well, I think it's should have been slower (at least that what I think based on how II heard it from other choirs. It feels too short and bouncy
