I think the comments below miss the point of the solace interpretation of this work - a prayerful reflection, on the tempest fears, - it is not a reenactment of the trauma at sea, or in storm. But a reliance on the God who sees us through all of life's experiences....a reflection of gratitude for the Eternal Father's presence in all things to sustain, comfort, and see us through. I am moved to tears by t his work. It honors God's providence.

You guys crushed that! Bravo!

Would be nice, but sound recording is not good.

unfortunate placement of that snare drum - must be 3 feet from the microphone

You’re going to hear this hymn every September 8 in Galveston, Texas. The reason? The day is the anniversary of The Great Hurricane of 1900 that obliterated much of the city and killed 13000 people

The song is a prayer to God as if sung on the deck of a ship in peril in a violent storm. Orchestra and choir is not conveying that feeling. Cadence should be faster and in time as if with ship’s prow as I crashes down into each new wave.

I'm so happy that the French have not forgotten. Viva la France.

Music is great, but the recording is way off. What kind of recording is this?! It has completely ruined it.

Not heard frequently. Nice job. I enjoyed listening. Bravo!

My dad and I went there as part of the Kentucky honor guard , simply overwhelming and the dedication that these sentinels have for their duty is immeasurable , thank you and god bless you all

Pretty much the best experience we ever got and we are grateful to everyone who made it possible. R.I.P. - Greg Pettis. Cathedral City Choir Sponsor and Great Freind.

Thank you so much....for everyone who made this blessing a reality for us. R.I.P - Greg Pettis Cathedral City Choir Sponsor and Great Friend.

Too bad the quality of this recording does NOT do this performance justice. This is TERRIBLE! This was a beautiful performance, ruined for us by the TERRIBLE recording quality. I am SUPER ANGRY about this. Why? Why even bother??????????????????

Lovely. The gentle quiet approach changes the feeling of the hymn. It's beautiful -- like an elegy.

1 Eternal Father, strong to save, Whose arm does bind the restless wave, Who bids the mighty ocean deep Its own appointed limits keep; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 2 O Savior, whose almighty word The winds and waves submissive heard, Who walked upon the foaming deep, And calm amid the rage did sleep; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 3 O Holy Spirit, who did brood Upon the waters dark and rude, And bid their angry tumult cease, And give for wild confusion peace; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 4 O Trinity of love and power, Your children shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire, and foe, Protect them where-so-e'er they go; Thus, evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.

Not much peril from these slow rolling, almost placid, waves and breakers!

Beautiful! What an incredible tribute to honor the fallen who gave their lives for the freedom of others. There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for another.

Far too slow. It’s like a funeral March.

Proud to be American thanks to all the branches who serve us your service is deeply appreciated thanks take care. Joe

I am stunned! Not one rock band, soul, R&B group? What a bummer!! Hell, even Jimi Hendrix, Credence Clearwater Revival, and Toy Caldwell from the Marshal Tucker Band, an ex-Marine wounded in Vietnam, supported the troops versus the thousands of anti-war anti-Vietnam vet rock music.

Thanks for all your service and appreciate this. ❤️😘🇺🇸👍🏻

OUR LOVE AND GRATITUDE FOREVER!!!

This is not showing on any TV station. That is a great Shame!

Not sure this arrangement is by John Butler, I think it might be by John Boyd (1975, Shawnee Press).

Such wonderful playing from such young ensembles! Bright futures.☀

Some missed notes, missed entrances and intonation challenges here

Can't wait for the 2024 80th Anniversary!!!

Beautiful!

Hey! This is Spencer Melillo, Stephen’s son. Great Job, guys! Not an easy piece! Shout out to the kid on 1st trumpet! Sounds great!

GOD BLESS AMERICA, FROM CALIFORNIA TO THE NEW YORK ISLAND! GREAT COUNTRY STANDS TALL

Terrible. Can`t stand it. Bye bye from Germany.

My All Time Favorite Concert Band Composer Of My Life! Great Job Guys!

I have followed the entire career of colonel Arnald D Gabriel. I know that he conducted a memorial day concert at the Kennedy Center, in Washington DC in 2015. I wonder if there is a recording of that concert anywhere? Colonel Gabriel is truly incredible!

I love everything about this video

Thanks for bringing the joy!

Godbless USA Cant imagine world under China and Russia. Longlive and prayers: Phillippines

Peace.

Long Live america ! Love from India :D

Beautiful. Tears streaming at "Arlington"... Still to this day I remember seeing the vast fields of white headstones (as a 4 year old) fully understanding what it meant, and 50+ years later has only deepened my heartfelt love and gratitude for their ultimate sacrifice. God Bless each and everyone laid to rest in this and other Military Cemeteries. And for those who do now and who will one day wear the uniform of one of the Armed Services branches of the United States, I Thank You and ask God to Bless you, protect you, comfort you and keep you embraced in His Loving Arms. Thank you, we are the Land of The Free... Because of the Brave! *LK* (edit: Seriously, 673 views, 10 👍 and only 1 comment...🙁)
