This was recorded in October/November, 2006 at a Wesleyan Church in Southern Michigan... I can't remember which one.

Lots of hate in these responses. I am a music educator and I think this is fantastic. Why would you want to perform the same as everyone else? These guys do a great job!

God bless you despite your ignorance.

As a former member of this chorale I know that this is probably still the group's "warm-up" piece that Prof Todd uses to get their voices limbered up at rehearsals. That might also explain the brash timbre of the voices giving a subconscious sense that the choir doesn't care about the words. Personally I always struggled to keep my emotions in check singing this piece because I've known and loved it since I was a child and the Reformation has come to mean so much to me as an adult.

Glad to see my "brothers" and "sisters" in these hate filled comments below are really encouraging this choir to keep spreading the gospel. Grow up.

Btw...i'm in this choir.

You know, a lot of people hate on singers because they can't count....This choir can count. Their diction is incredible. When I hear a rythem of 1-e-and-a or 1-e-and- coming through in a soprano line and or a bass line that's amazing. You can say they did this arrangement way too fast all you want but they did it fast because they can and they do it well. I miss hearing that performed live.

The arrangement is great. I have sung it and conducted it many times. The choir has a good tone over all. And I certainly don't want to be linked with the haters on the comments....yet.....this tempo is crazy! And the text must not be important because it is completely distorted with this interpretation. Sad........

Jonesorg, I'm sorry to hear that you didn't like this rendition of "A Mighty Fortress..." It is a different rendition than I care for, but I can appreciate the artistry and talent used here. There's nothing blasphemous or degrading about the song. I have been in one of this conductor's choirs before; I can assure you that he has a heart for God and demands nothing but the best from his students. What he does is more than a "just a job" for him. Please think twice before posting. God bless.

Pathetic performance of a beautiful, meaningful song..... u guys spoiled the sanctity of this reformation hymn... what a mockery of the sanctity u have done!! the wrath of GOD be upon u all.... His curse surround u all for generations to come!

[JohnChristPancho]

I truly cannot believe how bad this is.

[jayyjayy2010]

[BigIng02]

This is too fast! I have done this song several times. I can't hear the beauty of the song.
