Lunar Lullaby - Colorado All State Mixed Choir 2020

[@SuperCrazybumblebee]

Never stop sharing this tradition. I come looking every year for more videos from this hotel. Every choir every year has been incredible.

[@BenPoulsen]

I'll do my best but I'm no longer a student. I'll try to get other people I know to record it for me for the next couple years however!

But it really was amazing

[@sourkiwiis]

@@madelyndonaghy4129 it really does. I saw ballet when i was really young and it changed me. My little sister and i were both impacted greatly by musical theatre at really young ages and are STILL impacted by it. Experiencing something this gorgeous even at a young age is really impactful, maybe you just didnt get to experience that. I guarantee that girl will remember it forever.

[@blessings1063]

@@sourkiwiis you say impactful a bunch of times but you didnt even say the effect it left off. Did it inspire you to become a ballet dancer? did it make you decide what you wanted to do in the futuree? not trying to be a dick here im just genuinely curios, because things that are impactful usually leave results or affect you in some ways. You cant say something has impacted you and not say why or how

[@heatherrose2436]

Lyrics, in case anyone wants to read along while listening- The moon settles in the dusky sky The gentle eyes of the north star rest upon your sleeping face, and the heavens gaze upon you. In this moment, I know; You are not from the ground on which you tread, but of the stars, Of the stars. You are my radiant, my celestial child. You are my radiant, my celestial child. As night is drowned by morning you remain at my side, Accompanying the sunrise until night swells again across the sky. Until night swells again across the sky. Then, dreaming, you return to the stars. Dreaming, you return to the stars. You are my radiant, my celestial child. (Dreaming, you return to the stars) You are my radiant, my celestial child. (Dreaming, you return to the stars)

[@itsjoshcheek]

These memories will never fade. Good job everyone.

[@takigan]

Beautifully said. And it's really appropriate, since those memories were formed in a shining flash just mere weeks before the whole world would journey forward into darkness. Keep them with you. They'll keep you warm in the darkest hours until the sun rises again.

[@kennadeedodds7478]

Morgan Rose what is all state like how do you get in I guess I’ve seen so many videos and they sound amazing and I was wondering how the whole process worked

[@Roseoreh]

@@kennadeedodds7478 wow! sorry this is so late! basically all the juniors and seniors in public high schools in our state have the opportunity to audition. typically if you’re in your high school’s choir, the teacher will bring it up. it’s a pretty standard audition with scales, intervals, sight singing and rhythm. you also have to prepare a solo piece. i picked an opera aria, but you can do any choral/classical piece as long as it’s in its original book source or credits the proper publishing company and composer. you have to score high enough to get in, which involves scoring higher than the majority of your state(for colorado, i think over 5,000 people auditioned and around 300 got in). it’s a lengthy and extremely competitive process, but it’s beautiful and absolutely worth it if you have the chance to do it. i’m very proud to have done it as a choral member and soloist both my junior and senior years!

[@pingopango943]

This is absolutely beautiful, I hope that someday I will have the chance to perform like these students have. Before the virus had shut down my school I was going to be getting into area all state for New york, but unfortunately the program was cancelled.

[@topaz3190]

We sang this in my college choir this past semester and i can remember the accompaniment so well, I can't come close to imagining how angelic that must've sounded.

[@flammyyyyy]

I can never listen just once. Even if it comes up on a playlist on shuffle, I always have to go back and listen again, like I didn't savor everything enough the first time around

[@ashenace7217]

I'm glad I get another year for this! I will miss all of you not able to go again. One of the most amazing pieces we sang.This was amazing I hope I remember this forever.
