Holy shit I got shivers when the girl started singing

the first soloist was fantastic, the second soloist blew me away, jeeez.

[@renegutierrez2069]

I feel the same way every time I watch!

We all love the tune and message, we've sung it at concerts, graduation, disneyworld, & everywhere in between- I needed to hear it tonight missing my own chorale and this version brought me right back :) absolutely love your soloists and everyone's spirit and enthusiasm!!

[@ybaaaby]

[@veronkimo24]

This is such a beautiful rendition of the song! I sang this song in high school and hearing this brings back so many good memories! The soloists have such amazing voices! Also, much credit to the director of this choir!

[@renergutierrez]

Thanks!

[@justybear76]

Thanks for sharing, Rene. Love this song. Brings back memories of Kevin Holgate.

[@renergutierrez]

Hey Jolly, You were the spirit of the choir - look at you belting it out in the front! That was a special song and group Mr. G

[@manders50k]

Like you said in the description, it was all heart. This slower version is much better than some I've seen and performed. Loved it! And the soloists were to die for! THIS is why people love choir. Thank you so much!

[@chetproduction123]

gosh, standing O and everything. makes me want to relive those choir moments again...it doesn't matter how good you look, if your singing from the heart, you can inspire so many people...MR. G is the awsomest teacher ever lol

[@rhecoy2007]

[@stephensquiresiii3730]

YES! I love the choral version of this song. Brings me back to my high school choir days. Beautifully performed

[@bigalmd09]

That was pretty dang good....my college choir did this last year and it was a great song do sing.

[@Musiclover12698]

We just sung this in our choir! LOVE IT! I think it was all of our favorite songs. And GOOD JOB!!:)

[@MizoletteTV]

I love this! I was moved by the beautiful artistry! Well done! ;-)

[@renergutierrez]

those soloists really carried us on that one. our challenge was getting everyone committed to the same level as the soloists. I'm sure you'll give 'em a strong, honest performance! Good luck, let us know how it goes

[@HoloDaWisewolf]

It went amazingly well.

[@holzman00]

This is far and away the best performance of this song on KZbin

[@crzygrllicous]

i love your soloist, we are singing this for our graduation this year

[@julienedevaul4345]

My choir class did this song and it was awesome(: Gorgeous song!

[@fire9110]

Beautiful arrangement and a beautiful sounding choir. Nice job!

[@jessicawilstead5246]

Really beautifully sung rendition! We're singing this at the moment in our all-female choir.

[@bmarquardt1]

This was simply wonderful!!! Your choir blends so well, and the balance is perfect! I am performing this song for my graduation next week, and this is the best one I've heard so far. Great job, and keep singing!

[@karebear91V]

I really loved this performance! I'm so glad my choir's doing this song this year :) I really hope I'll get the solo part ^.

[@michaellazar6419]

This was awesome.You guys changed up the accompaniment for this one to!! Bravo!!

[@renegutierrez2069]

Michael, Lazar thanks! I had to simplify the piano a bit

[@michaellazar6419]

You did awesome! Did you go off the sheet music or ear?

[@MandeeSparkle]

Thanks for posting! I sang this exact arrangement with a group about ten years ago and I've been looking for it.

[@moez0]

[@renergutierrez]

Me, too! Thanks!

[@bonbuscuslauren2431]

The baritones were fantastic! I loved them c:

[@renegutierrez2069]

+Bonbuscus Lauren Thanks for listening!

[@timheel]

I'm a middle school choral director in North Carolina, and I am SO impressed with your tone quality, intonation, and expressiveness. As you can see, quite a few groups have posted this song, but yours is the best I've heard!

[@kamiljaber9035]

The amount of talent on stage was unbelievable

[@renegutierrez2069]

Thanks for watching!

[@Pretendkid]

I love the mood, and the singers are spot on with the diction and phrasing.

[@renergutierrez]

Thanks!

[@vierundsiebzig74]

this is absolutely amazing ♥

[@renergutierrez]

it's all about the heart. thanks for remembering your your alma mater. you were and still are an important asset to the group!

[@alexisims1986]

My choir is singing this song. This was great practice. I'm a soprano so we have some pretty high notes. Thanks for posting!! I'm in 7th grade btw xD

[@brendalopez8688]

What a great song! Great job year after year Mr.G!

[@renegutierrez2069]

Thanks, Brenda!

[@MuziqWonderland]

[@michaelsidkyphd]

Brilliant!

[@renegutierrez2069]

Thank you!

[@renecitogut]

Thank you so much! After ten years it's one of our mainstays, and this first performance, though still a bit raw, had a full heart behind it. Music is a wonder, isn't it?

[@thealmanancy9020]

my choir (Sequim High School) just so happens to be singing this song, but idk if the tenor section will be nearly as strong as we only have 6 people and 3 of them are rather timid

[@renegutierrez2069]

Elijah Groves no worries, the song practically sings itself

[@mikhaelatan1433]

Amazing! It's getting me excited for when my class will perform this song :')

[@MrSpacepack]

I don't want to curse. But damn.. that sounded good.

[@renegutierrez2069]

That's a good curse! Thanks

[@jaxsoncampbell199]

If you don't want to curse then why did you?

[@renecitogut]

Thanks so much for watching us!

[@MandeeSparkle]

Also: you did amazing. Sounds gorgeous!

[@rilynuyan8481]

This s actually my favourite version of the song the female soloist was AMAZING good job

[@TVLILU]

[@renecitogut]

Thank you so much!

[@renergutierrez]

Thank you!

[@corbinvitrell3590]

When I tell you chills baaabyyyy

[@JDEANFIA]

Great job! Soloists were great.

[@renergutierrez]

Thanks!

[@renergutierrez]

@minifmstatic hmm.., there are a lot of dotted quarter rhythms throughout; maybe you want them clearly defined by percussion, which we've done more recently with cajon and guitars

[@barackobama3330]

yall sleepin on the first soloist ong. HE WAS SO DAMN GOOD

[@renegutierrez2069]

His name is Mark Macanas. We were lucky to have him!

[@renecitogut]

Thank You! Search Racella De Guia for her latest work

[@renecitogut]

We changed up the ending a bit, but it's essentially Kirby Shaw arranging. Thanks for watching!

[@renecitogut]

Thank you! You can search more of our female soloist Racella DeGuia

[@bubby7078]

i love the gowns

[@renecitogut]

Glad you liked it! Be sure to loo for Racella De Guia's more recent work on youtube and twitter

[@jofeltolosa]

Memories...sniff sniff..

[@renecitogut]

We changed the ending a bit, but it's a great arrangement. Thanks for watching an good luck in choir!

[@renergutierrez]

@deewr3ck Great times, weren't they? We're trying to keep up the legacy you guys left in the "0" years. You were a great student, singer and basketballer!

[@unclet49]

Good job!

[@renergutierrez]

I'll keep digging up the gold. We're trying to live up to the legacy.

[@renergutierrez]

@MiSsSiLvErStAr95 hey thanks! you can look up the second soloist's more current efforts by searching Racella Deguia. the first soloist might have some stuff out there, too. his name is Mark Macanas

[@renergutierrez]

Thank you for watching!

[@Moony385]

AMAZING!

[@renergutierrez]

thanks for watching!

[@renecitogut]

Thank you so much! We need the positive reinforcement during festival season

[@renecitogut]

I felt the original ending was a bit too big for us. I have a bunch of performances on this channel, including a more recent version of Bridge. Thanks foe the comments!

[@renergutierrez]

I'll dig around for some oldies from 98-01

[@windowgirldreams]

Incredible. I'm afraid the microphones did the singers no justice. :( But I loved it. I I've done this piece before. It's just so powerful.

[@TravionR]

WOW OMG amazing !!

[@kallmejewlz]

Oh my! GReat flashback Mr. Guiterrez! (This is Juliue Paholio By the way!)

[@mistertitanic]

I'm a very deep 2nd Bass, and I have to sing this song for my high school choir, and I struggle to sing this high!

[@TheRealMake-Make]

Talent overload! This was spectacular--great job! That second soloist is very Aretha Franklin...simply amazing :)

[@renergutierrez]

Her name is Racella DeGuia

[@renergutierrez]

we've tried dropping the men's part an octave, but I think maybe the soprano part down an octave, or a new true bass part that runs counter to the top parts might work better. Maybe start with the tenors at the Bb and run the opposite direction, in harmony. Or maybe a repetitive part on the chord tonics

[@renergutierrez]

@bigalmd09 It's a great arrangement that sings itself. Great soloists always help! Thanks for watching
