I've been obsessed with this song since our music teacher made us learn it in middle school. It never fails to make me cry. I can always picture a Civil War soldier., any soldier really, in a muddy, dirty, camp...hungry, away from his family and friends for so long, no idea if he'll ever make it home. To feel that longing for a place, a memory of good times, people who love and love you and be forced to be separated from your beautiful home. It touches my soul.

This piece of music was so beautiful that it seemed the dream had left my head and entered the world. It made me remember all the beauty in life that I had forgotten and all the people who had loved me into being who were now lost, and all of the places that I had loved that were gone, forever lost and gone like the snows of years gone by and I wept tears that were both of joy and sadness..

For everyone asking about which arrangement this is, as best I can tell, they've very cleverly hybridized arrangements by Bartholomew and Erb, the two most popular settings of this song. The intro, all the way up until the first countertenor solo is Bartholomew's arrangement, in TTBB. After that, it shifts straight into Erb's SATB, with block chords in lower voices and imitation in the upper. Then, the last few bars are back to Bartholomew's arrangement.

That being said, this emotional tour de force is now the definitive rendition of this song. And I don't just mean this group or this arrangement, I mean THIS once in a lifetime performance. This performance TRULY captures the deep, bittersweet tone of the song and what it is, a profoundly sincere lamentation about being separated from one's familial and spiritual homeland. Chanticleer convey this emotional weight and sincerity truly perfectly. This sublime and masterful performance is something I will cherish forever.

You don't often hear a piece with such a big countertenor part. I feel for countertenors, because I'm a contralto, and choral pieces REALLY don't have parts for me. I always end up singing tenor. In college, I took it as a matter of pride to sound as much like a (male) tenor as I could, so we wouldn't sound like a second-rate choir that just couldn't recruit enough men (which was the truth).

Trish O'Connor Actually, contralto (alto) is higher than tenor (not counting falsetto), and there is quite often some overlap between contralto and mezzo soprano, In four part music, the a lot (contralto) is closest to the soprano, sometimes crossing the soprano line and going higher, though rarely above C above middle C.
@trishoconnor21699 жыл бұрын
Gail Williams What you are describing is what every choir I have been in has called "alto." An alto is not the same thing as a contralto. But some people in music essentially do not believe that contraltos exist, even when they hear them. Every contralto I have known has run into this belief at some point. ("If you just had the right training, you'd be singing higher. The low part of your range is useless (because there are men who can sing it).") I suppose some countertenors probably run into disbelief in their existence, but less so.
