Down in the river to pray COLORADO ALL STATE TREBLE CHOIR 2019

Down in the River to pray - Arr. Jace Wittig
not the same as the choir that sings the national anthem
Also the "oh they're above us" is referring to the soloists directly above us as we couldn't see where they were like we could see the rest of the soloists throughout the piece

I remember this performance like it was yesterday. I was on the second to the top floor. A little ways into the song, this woman left her room and joined in. She knew the part in everything. After we had finished, she told me and my roommates about how she had sang this song before. I had assumed it was something she had sang in church maybe a year or so ago, but it turns out the last time she had sang this was when she sang in an Allstate choir in New York, about 10 years ago. That really stuck with me. Her story really showed me how music stays with you. No matter where you are or however long it’s been, when a piece of music means a lot to you, it becomes engraved into your mind, and so do the memories that go along with it.

I have always lived with music anhedonia (age 47). I'm incapable of enjoying or having any type of emotional reactions to music. My brain just hears music as another noise. I've never understood how people can "feel" music, until I watched this video. Something about this choir, singing this song, in this location, gave me an emotional response for the first time ever in my life. I got goosebumps at 1:09, and even had a few tears a few moments later. That was amazing. Because of this reaction, I quickly searched for other versions of this song and ended up with my typical response. I hear it, but I don't feel it. I even watched other videos of this choir performing different songs and had no reactions of any kind. Something about this specific performance is able to bring emotion out from within me when no other music before, or since, has managed to do so. I am utterly stunned. Thank you so much for this.

[@madronasunrise]

I was in a treble choir in high school and some of my best memories were singing a capella in public places like this with great acoustics. It's like a flash mob. People stop in their tracks to watch. If you sing perfectly in tune you set off overtones, notes that resound off the walls and echo back at you. It's one of the best experiences of my life, connecting through mysic that way. Thanks for the video. It brought me down memory lane!

@@philc5499 how is that not a religious thing?

[@philc5499]

@@Sheriden. A religion is a specific set of beliefs and practices, the Church goes far beyond that. Virtually all the people who shaped the world we live in today were/are Christians and Jews, all with different ideas, aspirations, political views, etc. Studying our history of Science, Medicine, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Business, Economics, Politics, etc gives a very broad picture to a "religion" that it often painted as very narrow viewpoint. Post modern atheists regard the Church as archaic, backwards, ignorant, etc, while failing to realize all the accomplishments of Western Civilization on which Judeo-Christian principals are built, and how said principals still affect society to this day.

[@lakaiskates8064]

@@philc5499 Do you realize how much religion has held back all of that stuff through out history? There was a time where religions, the same ones that are around today, persecuted scientists and anyone who held an opinion contrary to the church. Your argument is ridiculous.

[@philc5499]

@@lakaiskates8064 You literally just recited the popular albeit false narrative. I'm sure you refer to, at least in part, the Christian Galileo. While politicians of the day (trying to maintain their power) tried to limit his voice and teachings, he did some of his finest work while under house arrest. Not condoning the actions of the state at the time, but certainly not the persecution story that we are constantly spoon fed via mass media. He also had many supporters, including Maffeo Barberini aka Pope Urban VIII.
