Amor de mi alma by Z. Randall Stroope

[@FranVteGdA5588]

La bella música del que sabe oír y escuchar lo precioso de la vida se plasma en un papel para que sólo las mejores y mas atrevidas voces nos deleiten o nos demos el gusto de rascar el corazón. 👏🏾👏🏾😘☺️

My schools choir preformed this and I've loved it ever since :,)

Ten bucks says that if your singing was capable of turning water into gold that it still wouldn't be good enough for the peanut gallery on KZbin. If any of you were in this choir and you saw all the nitpicking comments on this video, would you care enough to do anything about it? No, because they're comments on a KZbin video where everyone acts like an expert. The recording is what it is, it cannot be changed. It's good music, just enjoy it for what it is.

so beautiful

[@stanlivengood9500]

Beautifully done, and so sad that this ensemble no longer exists. I loved singing in it back in the day, under Chet Alwes.

[@Dasychot]

I miss this song so much. Thank-you for a lovely presentation.

[@jerrysings828]

Beautiful. Has always been a favorite.

[@pritamid.rahmadian536]

i've been liking this song since the first time I listened and sang to it along with my choir group :)

[@SirChristopher365]

God, this is amazing. Love the song, and I think this choir does a pretty good job with it.

[@Dasychot]

@Vivaldicellist just as a note, Dr. Stroope conducted this same piece in Tampa, Fl for an all-state choir at the same tempo in 2002

[@HeatherAlloway]

This is so beautiful, it made me cry :) Thank you so much for the music! It's great to know that others out there appreciate as much as I do :)

[@SirChristopher365]

Can I "like" this more than once????? It's really amazing. We did this piece in my college chamber choir last year, but it was too small of a group, and not nearly as good as this. Bravo.

[@bradley3rdgen]

Peformed this in Jacksonville, Fl, Terry Parker Chorus. One of tbe most beautiful songs ever composed

[@SoWhatImASlytherin]

i heard my high school chamber choir sing this and they were AMAZING. they sang it to us when i was in the weights room and the way it sounded off the walls made me cry. which was pretty embarrassing, but they were amazing. :)

[@bucketfullofbutter]

Tears to my eyes

[@lauramartinez3718]

I love !!!!!

[@kidrn4u]

Check out the choir "AUP". They sang this on this year's Choir of the World games and won the title : )

[@SirChristopher365]

@NateMelo614 im doing it now in choir, the piano is marked in the score as optional :)

[@amward]

@matchboxmatt THANK YOU! I'm so over people who think that they know enough to comment on anything... and they probably have the musicality of a cardboard box. You have said this so well! You're my hero too!

[@Metssinger302]

@judithequalsmusic they always are...

[@JJ122591]

Well, I think he was going off the basis that the poem used in writing the piece was by Garcilaso de la Vega whom was a Spanish poet. The Spanish accent would cause it to be "thii" but you're right stating it is the directors preference.

[@LamchopsPineapples]

I am fairly certain the part where they say see (ci) is pronounced ''thii"

[@NateMelo614]

is this supposed to have piano? I've heard recordings both a capella and with piano but i dont have the sheet music so im just wondering!

[@pianist1972]

Often happens when the piece is essentially a harmonized melody.

[@iwouldntmind89]

The c's are not pronounced like c's they have a light "th" sound like in between a "th" and a "d", the same way for d's. At least that's how we are learning it at the moment.

[@Frostpine721]

Too fast for my (and Dr. Stroope's) tastes, based on the tempo marking, but nice sound. I prefer a little more quiet emotional discretion, but the louder parts were nice.

[@blacksheepwall79]

Besides, i prefer it when it's not perfect

[@bradley3rdgen]

They are a little sharp though. Words are wide spread. You have to understand the meaning of the words vs just singing it

[@raestar3915]

Are they pronouncing ci as see? Because if so that's wrong

[@gster391]

...No, no it's not. It depends on the directors preference.
