I have been searching for a video of Dr. Eklund conducting this. I have listened to so many performances and no one even comes close to how clean his beginning is. I appreciate how his choir doesn't get hung up on the second syllable of "Ave"

weher are choir USA

🙏❤❤❤❤🙏

Mil vezes malditos os assassinos que proporcionaram esse espetáculo aterrador. Que seus autores façam morada no inferno até que ele esfrie. Há certos atos que são imperdoáveis. Este foi um deles.

Fantastic!!! Bravo!!!

First time I can hear the altos !! Loved it ... and the bases .. very well balanced and tuned. !! Well executed.

Whats funny?

Angel's do exist!

Here is a fingerpicking arrangement by Guido Menestrina, see if you like it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2a0opKViNuFmtk

Bravissimi 👏👏👏 Che bello vedere tanti giovani che amano questa musica.

I can't believe I am the first comment for such a beautiful upload. Thanks for taking time to make this tribute. I will never forget...😔

Beautiful! also the tenor soloist was an absolute joy to listen to

That voice is majestic💓

Peter Eklund is one of the most talented men I've ever had the pleasure of working with

my choir is also singing this song I'm so excited I'll post it on youtube

Long live Lucy Westbrook! Scarlatti rocked the Benjamin Franklin 8th grade choir in 1968 Dallas Texas takes honors in Soprano Alto Tenor Bass! Love, Robbie K

@Christopher Fields Alessandro Scarlatti

perfect harmony

high quality of an university choir

This is beautiful.

good

This was magnificent. Adam Fieldson was phenomenal.

W - o - n - d - e - r - f - u - l :-) Sweetly powerful. Thanks for posting, Pete! IVO

Bravissimi! Great !

Now that is how a choir should sound!

Amazing. It makes me proud of living in a place like Nebraska:)

Dr. Eklund is an amazing man. He is a true Renaissance man. I wish him continued and growing success!

I'm pretty sure the conductor wants the audience members to focus on the singers, the message, the faces, the great collaboration between text and notes, not on a dancing director. (that's just my opinion) I've heard him say that conductors should never upstage the music or those that are actually making the sound.

exquisite

Sounds wonderful, Dr. Eklund; love the "Lead Me to the Rock". Best wishes!

I REALLY liked the ending IMO. Anytime I hear other choirs perform this, I always anticipate them to finish it like this, but im left disappointed. Non the less, fabulous performance!

Scarlatti :)

I did too! Amazing group of musicians weren't they?

The freshness and enthusiasm, apart from the extreme musicality of the performance, is really uplifting. I noted also the performance without scores and the alternating of the men and women which means that every singer must know their part very well. I love as well the individual relationship of each singer with the conductor , and the mood portrayed by each singer as the piece progresses.

BRAVI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't like the change of the change at the end at all. Other than that the choir is great!

what key was this on?

Good question. I'm sure our director would say that if you are watching him, then he is doing a disservice to the composer. He'd want you focused on the message, the performers, and the composers' intent, not on a dancing conductor. He says all the time that his job is to be invisible. Just quoting the main man here.

Kudos to Mr. von Kampen for his arrangement, excellent interpretation and impeccable performance by the choir... but that Director--How could he just stand there so motionless?! LOL Not a critique, just an observation. :-)

I was ready to give a standing ovation, BUT then you changed the ending! Otherwise, this was immaculate! Balance, blend, supported sound -- especially in the top notes. And not to forget the awesome intonation and dynamic contrast. Job well done!

BEST EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Fine job University of Nebraska! Thanks for sharing this with me, Peter. Give them all my best.

finalmente un tempo giusto, bravi

You did a phenomenal job with this song. Consider my socks knocked off.

I sang in this group when I attended Nebraska. I had a wonderful time.

absolutely stunning. wanna hear how this song is supposed to sound? here you go. beautifully sung and SO musical. i cry every time. thank you so much for this performance and thank you for posting it.

gorgeous!

@andrewcrawley23 I know I can't find any videos of us anywhere

good old Nebraska U

Bravo! I had never seen/heard an american choir sing a latin piece like you do. Usually english accent makes latin language seems awfull. Congratulations from Portugal!
