This will be sung at my funeral!

[@froginthemachine]

It's 90 degrees out with 80% humidity and yet I still have goosebumps

[@johnqpublic9577]

😂

[@deborahsuewho5394]

What a brilliant arrangement.

[@GiveASmile]

Probably the most beautiful arrangement I’ve ever heard of this hymn. Exquisite. ❤️

[@deborahsuewho5394]

It really is SOMETHING, is it not? I got to practice (and practice), and perform it with a fine choral group; Else I’d have likely never even got to hear it.

[@cynthiat6505]

This must be played at my funeral! It gives joy and peace.

[@ross7f]

Sang this piece at All-State Chorus... One of the biggest emotional reactions I've ever had to a piece of music.

[@PK-wo4vo]

Ross Fagan agreed

[@soniaharden8549]

One of my favorites...want it sung at my memorial...!!! Have had the pleasure of performing this and floating all the highs...and working with Shawn Kirchner....what a privilege!

[@CECable]

Sonia, come to La Verne and "work" with Shawn almost every week!

[@tomtaylor7010]

Bless you Eric Nelson and Atlanta Master Chorale...

[@WalterTrachim]

Sang this two weeks ago with the Chorale I am a member of. I had never heard this prior to learning it, and it is a powerful piece of music. This performance is pristine - I’m glad I found it

[@lynnculver6840]

I love hearing this. The sound of Heaven.

[@maxrampley3610]

Beautifully captured the style! Well done, AMC and Dr. Nelson!

[@NathanWagenet]

I had the joy and privilege of singing this song my senior year of college. I was suddenly reminded of it today. I had forgotten just how beautiful of a piece this is (along with the other two in the set, Unclouded Day and Hallelujah).

[@cowpuppy1]

Absolutely Stunning! Atlanta Master Chorale's performance of this beautiful work sets the standard.

[@rowanwhistler]

For the inspiration you bring to the choral art, I say God be Praised! Well done!

[@roxanneperdue1288]

this is such a beautiful arrangement. so sensitively done... this is an amazing group of singers and the conductor is just wonderful... it's transcendent. the lyrics, the arrangement, the singing.. just wow.

[@lauraschutze8363]

Thanks for doing this beautiful without taking away all of stylistic considerations of these gems. The pieces just aren't the same done without any of the vocal style original to them. Moved to me to tears of joy!

[@williamripley3192]

The beauty of the human voice.Totally exquisite.

[@marymastin4392]

each note is "well with my soul" no other words can I type at this time

[@ethanheath6358]

I'm a freshman in College studying vocal performance, We actually won an international competition last semester in California, were doing this peice this semester, I'm beyond excited! Absolutely beautiful arrangement!

[@kburke513]

Can't even count how many times I've listened to this since discovering it last week. Incredible performance!

[@catbird-dq7ri]

This is very nice done slowly like a spiritual. I'm used to singing the Sacred Harp version at a faster tempo. It's a great song either way.

[@megan1895]

I’m singing this in my region chorus super soon and this it’s probably my favorite piece its so beautiful

[@raypragman9559]

i also sang this at regions!! its such a fantastic piece

[@libbyweber]

I think I've listened to this glorious performance about twenty times. Thank you for lifting my spirits!

[@drsol23]

What a beautiful rendition. Thank you.

[@ashleyhannagan5174]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this piece of wonderful music, and they nail it!

[@tcr1962]

[@soniaharden8549]

[@erikawiebe4110]

shivers

[@LegallyBlondeEsq]

Absolutely stunning.

[@junewebb4985]

Listening on a loop! Prelude of heaven!

[@soniaharden8549]

My favorite....want it sung at my memorial......send me off in style and spirit!

[@loispulliam3001]

absolutely beautiful

[@Lucy-mf4fl]

Beautiful.

[@hermanlawfirm8799]

Wow!

[@ocker58]

I'm only in high school so I have a while for my voice to slowly deepen, but I wish I could sing those low bass 2 notes better, it's a great song to sing even though they are barely in my range

[@glibbergloop]

So how did it go? A low C is pretty dang low and i'm curious😊

[@ocker58]

@@glibbergloop holy cow what an old comment😂😂. Well it hasn't gotten a ton deeper, but I can get a d basically every day and occasionally I can get a c, although it's getting slowly more and more frequent that I can hit a c

[@carterwatson8594]

I miss ol’ Ralph Stanley

[@yuehchopin]

Gottes Segen

[@rmcubed]

nice job low basses at 5'16
