@movielover... yep, you're right. I know nothing about choral music, except for studying secular and sacred choral music at university for 4 years, and working my way up through the ranks to the position of Kappelmeister at an Austrian church. Please, don't insult my intelligence.

Dude, it's a fucking high school choir. High School! You're calling a high school choir shameful for it's attempt at singing Bach.

I guess studying secular and sacred choral music at university for 4 years, and working your way up through the ranks to the position of Kappelmeister at an Austrian church still makes you a dick.

And by the way I love insulting people's intelligence. But I really love it when they try to show how smart they are when in reality, they're just an idiot with nothing to do but go on to youtube and insult a high school choir.

[andysherwinvienna]

Oh good lord. This is an appalling rendition of a wonderful piece of music. Of course there's dissonance... Not one member of the choir can hit a note. I'm not sure if they've ever heard of the term "tonality", either.

Please, for the love of humanity, stop this shameful attempt at choral singing.

@andysherwinvienna

really? not one can hit a note?

You must not know a thing about choral music.

[EarlLedden]

Amazing; I heard death approach. And they all came back on pitch . I think the director gave that choir and audience a magical moment they will never forget.

[Gwilwileth92]

Yeay, minimal music. I was looking for a version like this for hours. Love it. THX!!

Tonight my high school choir is singing the original German version of this, Komm Susser Tod. Sadly we aren't doing the aleatoric because there were too many complaints about it being "too hard and gross sounding" by some of the lower classmen. It really sucks because this sounds amazing and the ending is beautiful. Well done!

@andysherwinvienna listen buddy, they did great as a high school choir, and and another thing Harrison School of The Arts "attempted" this piece and perfected this piece.and there is some errors in this performance , but your supposed to support people not put them down. I'm 7th grade and I know things more musically than you, so i can sing better than you. I'm not only making you look bad, i'm making it looks like you have no life or common sense. So you do not deserve a scholar ship. YOU DICK!

I don't know why people are getting so heated over this performance. Yes, there are some errors (such as some vowel shaping and blending), but it's still a decent performance. Plus the aleatoric section was executed impressively well for a highschool level. I sang this in high school and we weren't able to fully grasp the concept of aleatoric singing. It takes a whole new mindset. All in all, these guys were good, so you all need to calm down and stop treating them like collegate singers.

[claudiokun2007]

Good attempt. Maybe a little too ambitious choice, there are obvious 'out of tune' voices.

[homoignobilis]

These kids are great! I dare any high school choir, or college choir, to even attempt this anywhere in public. The atonal character of that interpretation takes singers who must be acoustically 'dead on', confident and gutsy. I've heard other choirs do this and try to do it. But few can pull it off. Great job!
