One of my favorite pieces of all time - amazing (and yes, still gives me goose bumps to this day)!!

@saraklaassen I know what you mean Sara. I never get tired of this one.

why were the first like 50 secs NOTHING?!?!?!

[won1once]

@vipshowhostnumberone my editing was pretty bad in those days.

[romeofroyalty]

this was really good and im so glad to see that you guys are in quartets!!!! i remember my hs chorus was positioned like this!!!!

[won1once]

@romeofroyalty asked some of the singers and they say they weren't specifically placed in a quartet grouping, but the parts were intermingled.

This was a Moses Hogan's "The Battle of Jericho"... very nice arrangement! I sang this song with my choir too! Greetings from Croatia!

That was the first time I've heard the descant at the end blend in so smoothly. Normally it seems to me that it is supposed to be like a women screaming in horror at the atrocities of war. Here I felt more like it was a wail of sadness dimly heard over the battlefield. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough bass, but overall a powerfull and beautiful rendition.

not bad....but nowhere near golden gate quartets definitive version!

[MamiRicaaaa]

@9angellove your supposed to move more in this song actually, thats why the bass' & tenors didn't have any power behind their voice. Watch Laguardia or Morgan State University... they have to move to keep mental note their place because each vocal has their own rhythm. Its an african spiritual so they should be pushing note a lil harder! Good observation tho!!!

[9angellove]

You guys did really good, I'm doing the same song but different version for my middle school choir. I don't mean to criticize, and this might just be my opinion, but I think you guys are moving way too much. Unless this was purposely done.. Then nevermind
