The Abilene TX High School A Cappella choir premiered "She Walks in Beauty" in Kansas City in 1953. I was in the choir; Gene Kenney was the conductor. David Foltz was in the audience. It was a choral conductors' conclave of some sort. We were a featured choir, and we sang a couple other things, too. Afterward, people came up to us and asked, "Are you really a high school choir?"
Wonderful! I too sang this with my high school choir, exactly forty years ago. I have looked for a copy, either in print or online, for years. And here it is! This a fine piece of piece music, and your superb choir does it justice indeed: an extremely musical reading of an extremely musical piece. Thank you!
We sang this at Glassboro High School and hearing this arrangement again brings back memories. I sang the Tenor part. It was one of the chiors favorites.
I have been looking for this arrangement for a long time. Our high school choir sang this back in the 60s and 70s. To me, it is the loveliest. Thanks for posting!

Boy that pitch fell off immediately. Gorgeous sound, but extremely FLAT.

We sang this in ensemble at Audubon last year, and I loved it! We only had two basses and four tenors and like 20 girls lol.

I also sang this in another lifetime and always loved it. Who composed the music, please?
