AMAZING!!! best version ive heard on youtube... im still trembling... freedom! freedom!

[marksartor]

Thanks for your kind reply. I still get emotional whenever I hear this song! The local choir was masterfully directed in this case!

[marksartor]

This Song ALWAYS brings tears to my eyes!

It's so beautiful and hopeful..

so majestic....

Freedom...

[marksartor]

I know nobody will read this or care, but I really feel that music could be a universal human binding peace giving tool. The world is in such chaos, and once in a while, we have a chance to either perform, or hear a song that could melt hearts and mend wounds around the world.

I Have to say,

just THINKING about it gives me the chills! It's powerful and moving!

Lucky for the elbow's, we get to see a great shot of the whole choirs. Bravo

[marksartor]

Thanks! 58yo arms a little shaky, but It's worth it to hear that great song! I hadn't planned on making movies, it was spur of the moment.. thus the poor focus, and positioning etc etc. but the main thing is the music!

thanks for your kind reply!
