Had the opportunity to meet Moria personally when she was touring with Jamye Stone. She is such a kind and talented person!

Aw man i was a baritone

[@jillianromann4434]

[@gabriellevasquez5983]

I have no words I thought they did this because of James Charles for a second

[@anthonycortez9191]

I was there! part of the honor choir. it was great

[@darcybrummett7004]

I recently saw at my old high school. I was very impressed because of the rhythm of the patting, clapping, and stomping. It looks like a lot of concentration is needed to keep it up while singing.

[@talosheeg]

I was a soprano singing in this choir, I remember this piece. It was a LOT of mental work for me to keep up with the song and the dance!

[@quintincunningham242]

Good cover. Not as good as the James Charles original

[@laylacaraballo8131]

Agreed lol

[@forty9er49221]

Why’d you have to steal this from James Charles?

[@jpsacks5298]

@local bread slice Its amazing how people don't do research before they post something on the internet and James Charles did not create this song

[@HanSolofangirl]

JP Sacks it’s a joke 💀 BUT GO OFF IG-

[@solarprogeny6736]

@local bread slice because this is a frequent joke in youtube comments, where someone pretends the better version is stolen from a bad cover

[@moistjuicy3489]

At my school we’re doing this at a spring concert and I get a part that’s not in this song but I go oooooh

[@ildiko1vt]

[@belindabruner2416]

In my dream life I audition for the Los Angeles Master Chorale and get a spot. I'm an alto and float tenor. My health is failing so my dream must remain only that. I'm writing a novel instead, based on my great-grandmother's having been kidnapped into Pancho Villa's militia during the Mexican Revolution. I wish joy of singing to all of you who are members. I purchase your CDs out here in Oklahoma...and I dream.

[@deborahriley8136]

Wonderful! I really loved it. Moira is a great composer and singer. Last but not least, she is beautiful too. I'd like to listen to a Halleluia in her own arrangement.

My wife and I are big Moira fans. We got to meet and talk with her tonight at the Savannah Music Festival. It was the highlight of the SMF for us!

[@donnafran]

Fantastic!

[@hughvane]

Within 25 seconds the tempo had increased - typical of mass performance. Why there was not a discreet flashing light in view of the choir members on the 1st beat of every bar I cannot understand.

[@dmk941]

Because folk music tradition doesn't have a click track.

[@wayneessar7489]

Why is that a problem?

[@autumnban1951]

James JAMES CHARLES

[@TheMothernerd]

The speeding up is killing me!
