Voice Teacher Analyzes MOSES HOGAN CHORALE x ELIJAH ROCK

[@ErnestCBattle]

Wow!!!! Your analysis is so spot on and quite frankly has me in tears….happy tears as I reflect on my Moses Hogan Chorale family. We’ve lost so many members over the years but you have honored us all by your appreciation for the attention to detail and the brilliance of our Artistic Director. Thank you from one of baritones in the video!!

Happy singing and stay blessed, Mr Battle. From a dear admirer of GOD's work through Maestro Hogan all the way from Fiji

[@WilliamDobbs-se8wu]

What a phenomenal and influential group and legacy you were blessed to be a part of and share your gift with the world. The musical precision and technical skill you all executed in your presentation is nothing short of amazing and inspiring. One of my favorite arrangements the late Mr. Hogan created. Continued success and blessings in all you do, kind sir.

This touched my SOUL!!!!!! I'm in a professional choir and we did this three years ago. My Lord, it was powerful!!!!! Thank you for yet another brilliant video analysis, Jaron!!

[@jalonitelice1658]

Yessss! I sang both first and second soprano for this in high school!! Good memories! #RHS #RVC

[@nataliewilliams1902]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! We performed this in high school many years ago and OH MY!!! Phenomenal arrangement!!!

[@benmarshall3383]

Same! I've never clicked on a video so fast!!!

[@WilliamDobbs-se8wu]

Yes. One of my favorite choral arrangements from the late Moses Hogan. The harmonic and rhythmic complexity Mr. Hogan constructed with this arrangement is a testament to why it still is an exciting piece for choral groups to sing perform nearly 30 years since it was first arranged and released.

We just did this for are highschool spring concert!!!!❤❤

[@shaunta99]

This video is a classic. My undergrad choral director is singing tenor in the Chorale in this video, S. Carver Davenport (Dillard University Concert Choir). So glad you analyzed this. What a treat!

[@Drkyle7824]

a nostalgic piece of my choral repertoire . i just went back to school studying music ed and vocal jazz and contemporary music after 6/7years of dropping out the first time. i still miss choir sometimes, but it’s nice to look back😊

[@Ineka56]

I’m an alto in this group. I sang with the group when I worked at Dillard University where Moses Hogan was an instructor. Such an awesome experience!

[@crystalclark2501]

I absolutely LOVE this song!! I am a choir geek too. 😊

[@cocomo3141]

We did this as a choir hunny it was a bop!!!!!😂😂😂

[@brian_bk_keith]

Hogan was a legend this piece..I did Battle of Jericho and My Soul Been Anchored Also the altos with the low E don’t get enough credit in this piece

[@WilliamDobbs-se8wu]

I agree. One of my favorite sections in the arrangement (the "bridge" section), with them singing "if I could I surely would stand on the rock where Moses stood..." sustaining those low notes the way they do. The Alto II's/contraltos really bring out that section and towards the end of it, as you mentioned...of them being stretched to the low E, hitting baritone-esque notes there to round out the four to five part harmony for the rest of the sopranos and altos in the line "where Moses stood", culminating that section in a haunting doubled octave unison as the Bass II's lead in the next section for everyone to carry out the remainder of the arrangement to its bombastic conclusion.

[@darrinthomas7931]

When I sung this song in high school in Alabama I was second alto and I loved this song to death…..🙌🏾😩 oh man this brings back memories

[@troyweaver5498]

Jaron, was blown away by Chechi Sarai's whistle tones and runs in her rendition/audition of Minnie Riperton's "Lovin You" on The Voice, and would love to see your video analysis of her performance...

[@jameshayes7937]

When I tell you this is a choral classic I LOVE THIS SONG! Then we sped it up!! And sung it a key higher. I was 1st tenor the first year we sung it . By 12 grade I was baritone.

[@goobriel78]

I had the honor to perform this with the Texas All-State Choir in ‘95 under the great direction of Andre Thomas…it was truly a highlight of my life.

[@SelfLuvClub]

Im in the choir at my school, Forest Hill High School and we sung this song for districts, states and overseas. We were obsessed with this piece 😊

[@stonyknights7260]

the 2nd alto on this song SLAPS! Give me BARITONE ladies!

[@WilliamDobbs-se8wu]

Yes. Most definitely love how this arrangement stretches the Alto II's/contraltos into the baritone register. I love the darkness, color and haunting nature those low notes give to the 2nd altos.

[@DerrickJLarson]
