I've heard a couple choirs sing this (mostly college) and I have to admit, this is one of the best versions I've heard. The balance is excellent and the overall maturity of sound was also very good.
...I did get a little seasick from all of the swaying but oh well =)

tempo is a little slow for me.

I have sung this piece hundreds of times, it's one of my favorites. For those who say it's too slow, it's suppose to be. The tempo is perfect. The sound is nice and full. As far as moving? Why not? I never did it, but I don't see the harm in it either. Actors on stage sing and dance at the same time, and it doesn't affect them. It's a beautiful piece with a choir bringing a warm sound and feeling to it. I love it. Thank you for sharing this.

Brilliant performance, I don't care about the moving, you people sang beautifully, and perhaps because you were mixed up made it even better. GREAT performance, thanks you

My choir is singing this for our annual holiday concert, and I hope we sound that good.
We have about three times as many people though, so I hope we do even better!

what's wrong with moving?
i bet this was more impressive in person because the singers appear to be emotionally engaged in the music - makes all the difference in the world, especially at high school level.

I remember I sang this song in my freshman year. Gorgeous piece. Because I never practiced with other parts and just learned mine, when we brought all the parts together and got this, you can imagine how surprised I was!!
I agree, they were a little sharp, but it's beautiful either way!! Brings back memories...

Your swaying was making me nauxious.

So, this is a really nice choir. I agree that there are some sharp places, 'specially with your sopranos, but, overall it's good. I also think that its WAY too slow. I also would have liked a little more space on the cadences. My chamber choir is using this on our audition tape for All-State Choir for next year.

Agreed. Near the middle it kinda just gets boring.

...i love it........
So nice to see such a uniform looking group- it adds so much to the presentation of the music. I also love the scrambled formation- it helps foster a beautiful blend. Very good control...heartfelt singing.....clearly a very good conductor at work here. A moving performance.
