Ad Astra by Jacob Narverud (SATB Choir with Piano)

[@ryanrossluvr05]

my choir was supposed to sing this beautiful piece of art and many other pieces in cathedrals across ireland but it got cancelled without reschedule due to the pandemic. so now i’m just listening to all the music from that trip, knowing all the words and cues and notes for no reason it’s really sad.

[@adventurem8887]

lizzie My high school choir spring trip was cancelled this year

[@archenemy9802]

I was going to perform a three part version with my choir for out spring concert for 9th grade, but the pandemic makes so I'll probably never be able to perform this again.

[@kendallrayne69]

My choir performed this last year. Whenever you do perform it, it will be a moment you’ll never forget. It’s such a beautiful piece and just take your time with it and make it as beautiful as you can. It’s my favorite and almost if the choirs favorite we have ever performed

[@goatsante5645]

my choir sings this this year. performances are distanced, dont worry. i will sing as best i can, in honor of you

[@singingsoulsisters7254]

Same with my chorus. We were going to sing this last year, but obviously all of our performances got cancelled, and as I was graduating from the school, I won't ever get to sing it again in the same way. It's so sad yet so nostalgic in the same way.

[@trialanderror7099]

I’m singing this in my choir, it’s my favorite song

My director was teaching us this song but the earthquake stopped from happening. Even now during this pandemic I miss singing amongst my fellow musicians, I really do. Choral music is/means so much for me.

[@kman6180]

My choir is practicing this right now to do as our grand finale piece, where we have all of our high school choirs (Phoenix choir, concert, A Capella, Mens, Womens, Xela) so about 200 kids, and I'm so excited. I think it will sound awesome.

[@rkh_drums12288]

Did anyone record it?

[@kman6180]

@@rkh_drums12288 Sorry for my slow response, but it did get recorded as an unlisted video. Here is a link to it that should start the video right at the beginning of the song (in case the link doesn't work, we start singing Ad Astra at about 1:18:55) kzbin.info/www/bejne/pl6XnGVjfauksKs

my Highschool choir sang this during my freshman year, im so lucky that i was able to sing it! just remembering how it felt to sing is enough to make me tear up lol

[@shrimpyshrimp2243]

2:07 onwards is where i remember tearing up while singing, it was so pretty

[@libelizabethpie]

I love the message and the beauty of this song! My choir director is letting us each pick some songs next week that we may possibly sing, and this will definitely be my pick!

[@Strongmanhannah]

So gorgeous, Jacob. Very excited to work on this next semester with my chamber group for contest in the spring. Excellent work!

[@npnp4052]

We sang this piece for HS graduation last year. It’s a beautiful piece.

[@TmiyahMcghee]

I love this song ,we sang it at our school I love the melodies "to the stars"⭐

[@ZariahLuvvsMoneyyy]

I LOVED SINGING THIS WITH MY CHOIR IT WAS SOOO BEAUTIFUL

[@runawayskeleton]

i love this song in choir. we’re singing it this year, it’s the first i’ve ever heard of the piece, but i loved it the moment i heard it was related to space. this is an amazing composure that is extremely fun to sing.

[@batslayer6745]

I watched the eighth grade concert choir (which I will be shortly inducted into as soon as the next school year starts) at my school perform this song and the professor listening to the performance said she heard over 10 high school choirs perform the piece and the eighth grade choir performed it better than all of them.

[@emma.lynn06]

my school choir is doing this and i absolutely love this song especially the masculine voices on the part where “tho u may be weary…for the stars will guide u home” it’s giving me chills. and every-time i hear this piece, i think instantly of night time travels/ adventures under the stars, and i get voyager vibes and it’s everything.

[@aiyshaali7553]

I literally love this song!! It is amazing😁💕

[@briannakjax]

My son is 15 and part of our city’s boys choir, and the high school tenor/bass choir sang this in their Christmas program tonight. So many people were moved to tears, and he said this was his favorite piece of music he’s sang in his 7 years with the choir.

[@socks8382]

Learning this for a big high school district concert. And oh man is it one hell of a song to sing. (I am learning the baritone part btw)

[@Zenisthemusic]

Same, I'm in chamber choir and this is what we are singing

I remember singing this song with my choir in middle school. To this day, it's my favorite song I've ever sang. What I would give to perform it again. ❤

[@bigbluebird6986]

We sung this song in my choir at our local All County, our choir AND the audience loved it so much that we had to sing it again at our Spring Concert, it really is a beautiful piece! To the Stars!

[@nikki0905]

I go to UNK in Nebraska and I’m so excited for you to come work with us next month!! I love your songs, I’ve been singing them in choir for years. This is my favorite one that we’re doing.

I’m trying to get into honors choir and this is the audition music we have to sing to get in and then do other things.

i sang this last year during my school’s spring concert- it was so fun to do, definitely my favorite typical choral piece we did. i still remember all the notes a year later :)))

[@jenevagarretson1401]

We are singing this in choir one of my favorites pieces we sang

[@KeilanMcCool]

At my school, our advanced, (chamber) choir has assistant conductors, where some students are selected to teach a song to the class and conduct it in concert. I was picked and I chose to do this piece. My choir also had the honor of performing Sisi Ni Moja, my favorite composition of the one and only Jacob Narverud. Thank you.

[@madisonchamberlain7547]

My choir teacher in high school loved theses songs by this artist. We sang two of the songs my last y ars of high school. They sounded just absolutely beautiful.

[@Crayonmuncher9060]

Love it, going for that sound with the satb arrangement and absolutely nailed it, really glad my director picked this up

[@Wisper025]

Singing the tenor part for this for a chorus concert at my high school I am in love with the harmonies.

[@stillapeaceofgarbage2963]

i love this song so much, its so powerful and i was supposed to sing this for a reigon choir audition probably like two years ago now and i can only remember how devestated i was when my director told me i wasnt eligible to audition anymore, i had spent all my freetime for months learning this piece because of how much it moved me and now years later i still know all the words and i have the same passion for this song, i just wish i couldve shown how much i loved it to those damn judges

[@elyasl974]

Ad astra per aspera. To the stars through difficulties. Sursum. Look upward. When you’re tired and troubled And you have lost your way, Don’t let hard times lead you astray. Though you may be weary, Just know you’re not alone, For the stars will guide you home. Movere deinceps. Move forward. Sine cura, post omnes. Leave all cares behind

[@thebasic95]

What’s coincidence that everyone is here cause of choir and I’m watching this cause we’re gonna be practicing it soon in choir.
