I'LL NEVER TURN BACK NO MORE - OAKWOOD UNIVERSITY AEOLIANS

[@arejay122]

"The Aeolians could sing passages from the phone book and still make you feel the presence of the Divine." -Huntsville Times

[@Jake-nk4wg]

That was a quote for us back in 1971; I see they are still able to do it. :)

[@kaymccastle1154]

Amen too that, Are Jay!! 😁

[@kaymccastle1154]

The Aeolians are my favorite HBCU choral group!❤❤❤❤

[@ColorMeTimeless]

Speechless. There's only so much notes on a page, dynamic markings, and director/chorus interpretation can do. Then the spirit takes over and you get a performance like this. I could tell that they KNEW what they were singing about. Thanks for the ministry.

[@camaro84rules]

best rendition of this song I've ever heard... I love the field calls at the end, great visual you created with them. It really implants the the struggle in your heart... wonderful

[@jevryday84]

this version of the aeolians have a lighter, more airy sound than the earlier choirs, but jason ferdinand has done an excellent job getting a wonderful blend out of them. very good work!! the soloists were waaaaaaay above average as well!!! incredible!!!!

[@nellyd9280]

I keep coming back to this! Priceless musical experience! What a gem!

[@TheBvov]

Wow! Just Wow! What phrasing and the breathing technique is flawless. Then add the adlib emotional response of the soloist to the Hall Johnson arraingement and you have nothing less than a blessing from God. Thanks Oakwood

[@sue.byrd3767]

Hallelujah Amen!!!! Outstanding all the way around! The basses...OMG! The soloist, especially that alto in the back!! The interpretation of the music, phrasing, musicality, breathing, and enunciation was perfect. I have never heard a group of young singers sing with so much passion. It's as if the slaves were singing thru them! I was definitely in tears!!! :'( God bless you all for blessing me and the world with this piece! :-)

BEAUTIFUL!!! I visited this church when I lived in Huntsville. When you are in the sanctuary and the choir is singing, it sounds like heaven's angels singing. The church has a great sound system and amazingly gifted singers/musicians.

I watch this everyday as my inspiration. I love the pronunciation of the words. If I were able to come to this school I would love to see the chior.

[@sheilasharpe2350]

Olivia, they are part of Oakwood University, and often sing Sabbath's at the University Church.

[@kaymccastle1154]

I totally agree, Olivia Mender. The closest I can do is to travel to Columbus, Ohio to stay with a friend when the Aeolians give a concert at her.church.

murahomesa Hello! What are the names of the two female soloists from 3:08 to the end? The camera picks up the first soloist, but I never glimpse the second one who sings back and forth with the first one. Can you shed any light on the situation? :)

[@sue.byrd3767]
