When I hear music such as this, and by singers who can sing like this, it opens my mind to the universe, and I feel for a moment like I have transcended above the pettiness of humanity, and allows heaven to open to my view......for just a moment. Thank you for sharing.

This conductor is awesome.

[james slayton]

It could be a little bit faster in music not vocal but its super fantastic

[Maestro David]

another beautiful performance by this very talented choir! I'd say they are competitively tied with the Concordia Choir conducted by Rene Clausen ;-))

[Mirandu Kan]

What an amazing choir. I'm particularly impressed with the rich, unified sound coming from the men.

[Ali Ludlow]

this is the most beautiful song ever :)

[Kim Sherrill]

Of all the performances of this piece on youtube as well as two professional recordings I own, this one is the very best. It is the most nuanced, the tenderest, the most polished, of them all. The young voices give it a tender innocence that is heartbreakingly beautiful. It is sung with so much heart, it never fails to move me. Bravo, bravo, choir.

We're currently trying to sing this song in school choir, which is quite nice. This here is of course way better and just wonderful :)

Hey, I'm an SAI too, and have had similar experiences with my sisters and our Sinfonian friends <3
