What a travesty. I can't believe the conductor had the hubris to do this. It's not a matter of a "preferred pronunciation;"he changed the rhythm! It's in the score as "E-ze-kuhl" for a reason, which obviously went over the head of this numbskull. I won't even comment on the butchery of the "improved" ending. Props to the choir for doing the piece well, but please don't let this conductor trick anyone into thinking that toying with someone else's music like this is ok.

"e-zee-kee-yul"??? That just kills the TRUE essence of what this negro spiritual should should like. It should be "e-zee-kul." Don't get me wrong, you guys sound great. The e-zee-kee-yul just really kills this negro spiritual.

It says on the music clearly that it is pronounced "Ee-zee-kul".

Look at the bottom of the first page, it explicitly states it.

Seriously, that ruined the whole piece for me.

I like this ending though.

Nice job to the soprano!

[rtguy23]

good job!

Clinically very good, but it's a spiritual. Great effort by the singers, but we miss the passion.
