Beautiful! Any reference to find the score?

Love this arrangement! We sang it at Seattle Pacific University many times over the years.

Nice phrasing. Miss the solo. Son of mon?

Absolutely perfect choir Absolutely perfect!!!!!!!! The bass yes sir men that's how it's done!!!! (Fellow bass here )

Well crafted, exquisite vowel shapes. Huge impact on the sound.

LOVE this song. I grew up hearing it in our LDS world of worship, beautiful rendition. I love that they are holding hands -- in spite of the times. 2020…

Nice job. I sang that song about 160 times with the Concordia Choir under the direction of Paul J Christiansen. It was an automatic stand o.

I love this song so much! I'm Catholic but I teach at a Lutheran school. This is where I was introduced to this beautiful song.

Very moving.

So absolutely beautiful

This is indeed timeless. I never tire of hearing it. My men's chorus will be performing this in our spring season.

I love that you are programming early music! I remember these names from Choral Lit or Music History, but don't think I ever got to sing them. The 2nd motet was particularly interesting. They started to show the joy on their faces midway through singing about it. :)

delightful listening experience. buoyant musicality throughout. took me a minute to settle in & adjust to the 3rd song after the first 2. great cohesive job, choir & Dr. Nance. Seems like just yesterday I was following your directing. :)

Perfection.

Excellent rendition, well pronounced and comprehended. At last the last piece's coda in the right swift tempo ❤

I learned this song in 5th grade. I was 10 years old. In high school our director was a product of Concordia Moorhead. He studied under Paul Christensen. We always ended our concerts with Beautiful Savior. My former high school choir is not allowed to perform Christian music anymore. How sad. Christmas Eve 2023 I will offer Beautiful Savior as a solo vocal prelude to our Christmas Eve service. As long as I am able I will perform this song. I am now 71. This piece is timeless. Well done, choir. I offer sincere thanks and praise to you. Soli Deo Gloria.

One word: Beautiful.

I never tire of this

Vraiment formidable. Que c'est beau!

Excellent. Thank you!

Very commendable ensemble singing. Lovely. Well done.

I love this text by John Donne! Lovely setting of it. Thank you - and well done all!

Lovely to hear this piece performed with such excellence. Well done all. Praise Yeshua!

I love choral music! I t has a strebgth non othere music has. Brought me to tears.

If you have no tears hearing this you aren't paying attention.

Master piece 🔥

I love the style change in the middle! It really brightens up everything in the middle and creates a wonderful listening experience

Beautifully performed! regards, Per, pro choir conductor from Denmark 🙂

Excellent singing and excellent acoustics.

I love singing bass. But arrangements like this sometimes make me wish was - just once - a tenor. 3:25.

Thank you very much. That was just so lovely!

I love listening to this, I wish it was given more likes, or that I could like it about 100 times!

OF COURSE it's a LUTHERAN college!!! You performed it like the Angels themselves. Thank-you. Thank-you. Chills

Never tire of listening to this rendition

1:34

IMO just at a tempo a bit too fast -- slowing it down would really resonate the warm chords inherent in this piece!

Happy I found this! We also sang this at my school!

Thank you. I’ve always liked this song.

WoW! I am Latvian. I have performed this song. Bravo!!!

A beautiful performance of a beautiful song, added to by the hands. How unifying.

What a gorgeous performance. That was absolutely sublime. Thank you!

I stan an ensemble that grasps hands during performances

Gorgeous!

There are so many things to love about this performance, not the least of which is that you refrain from the widespread but unmusical--and to my mind incomprehensible--custom of putting a not-in-the-published-music fermata over the first syllable of "sorrowing" (and analogous spots in the introduction and the final stanza), a practice which apparently goes back to F Melius Christiansen himself. Inexplicably. Beyond that, the intonation is overall quite good and the sound is pleasing. The sopranos deliver the melody of the first sung stanza with sweetness and conviction. Your "conductorial" take on the piece is eminently musical.The microphone(s) now and again got overwhelmed by the sonics, particularly at the end, but that doesn't spoil the beauty of the performance for me. It was really quite lovely, and moving. I'm curious, though: What inspired the shifting of text in the last stanza in the final measures? The words aren't different from the original; you've just re-arranged which words are falling where. Did you feel that the original distribution of text-to-note wasn't ideal for the sense of the text or music; or did you feel that the original created technical problems for the choir's delivery? As I said, I'm just curious. I didn't find it distracting or unsatisfactory. It was just a change that caught me off-guard.

I am a proud American missouri synod lutheran!

Thank you for this wonderful setting of such a profound poem. A real blessing.

Nice one, you have a new subscribers. Do you know of PromoSM?! It will help your videos start to trend!

Wow. What a cool piece of music.

Lovely!
