The bass is fabulous and gives texture--too many boys' choirs sound saccharine and lacking in depth, not this.

A very flat acoustic which doesn't do them justice. But you should hear them in a cathedral setting with the sound bouncing off the fan vaulting a hundred feet above. Absolutely sublime.

Beautiful tune.

Beautiful and what a great idea to take the choir to the Czech countryside, pity it isn't much longer than what it is.

Burbank Choral is doing the Darke version next week.

Both versions are pretty, but the Darke version is WAY harder to sing!

Fantastic...

Yes,a nd this usually happens alot in open-air singing depending on the temperature. This choir did a very good job not sharping in the cold weather.

My college choir will be singing this song next week, and we will have a young boy singing the solo portion. It is such a beautiful song.

I dont understand the criticism of the bass singer, you must be very pedantic. The piece was beautiful . I love the Dark version also.Let us not forget what this is about.I know He has my heart . That's all that matters.
