Loch Lomond (HQ) - All State Men's choir 08-09

[@cookiemonsterriversi]

Dude! I didn't even know that this was on youtube!! The CD they sent me in the mail after we did this performance got stuck in the CD player of my car...and then I sold that car... so enjoy listening random owner of a 91 honda civic hatchback!! P.S. Thanks for all of the rad comments you guys! I was really blessed to be able to be a part of this!!

Wow for like 30 seconds I was so impressed with how still they were all standing but then I realized it was a picture.

[@The10secondslater]

Sang this song my freshman year of high school. still know every word. and it remains my favorite choir song of all time. this choir did a fantastic job. hands down the best one i've heard. Brings back some pretty great memories (: thank you for sharing :)

[@nitetrane98]

I keep coming back to this one. I like the way the conductor lets the basses sing. A rock solid bottom and you can feel the enthusiasm emotion.

[@Treymen1023]

I sang this many times with my men's choir in highschool and just last weekend I had the joy of finally walking in the Scottish highlands near Edinburgh. (didn't make it quite to Loch Lomond but I will someday) And as the sun was shining, and the stream passed below me down the beautiful landscape, I listened to this video on my headphones as I walked, and I just wanted to let you know that your art was appreciated very much so. Cheers.

[@dariussparks1409]

This was my probably my twentieth time listening to this recording, but it was the first time in a while. The way that this choir sang this piece filled me up with so much joy and chills to the point where i shed some tears, and it’s a reminder on why im pursuing choral music ed. Great great work!

[@the_kruzdawg]

My favorite version of this song. I sang this a year ago at Ball State and it has been my favorite song we have sung to this day.

[@HTwenty1]

Solo was perfect. Very nice. I'll "tak" this to the bank

[@IrisG77]

This is blowing me away, literally. These are some talented men and obviously absorbed everything the conductor wanted to impart on their choir. The conductor must be amazing too. Wow, I am sooo impressed. It's like I heard this song for the first time all over again. Mad, mad props.

[@TheWarhawk117]

were singin this song this year for Nebraska All-state. im obsessed with it

[@Autobotsunited]

This is unbelievable. I can't stop listening to this.

[@SoICanComment163]

Absolutely beautiful. Jonathan quick's arrangement is my favorite! I just love the driving march at the end!

[@bvang321]

This is absolutely beautiful, so beautiful, that I had to respell beautiful like 5 times for getting distracted

[@DontfuckwithElton]

i can't stop listening to this. just inspiring.....

[@mooseamoose1999]

the soloist has a beautiful voice and it fits this song perfectly

[@CJ910213]

This is the Minnesota All-State Men's choir. Our director was Diane Loomer, the founder and director of Chor Leoni, a small men's choir, based in Vancouver, British Columbia.

[@loydsheryl]

@joniniowa Loch Lomond--traditional, arr. by Jonathan Quick. This is the TTBB arrangement. It's also available for SATB.

[@annarosebrase]

Wow. Brings me to tears almost!

[@christopherstavnes6141]

This is flawless!

[@jadonfloyd2987]

how could you not like this?

[@aznsingerboy31]

nothing beats this group right here

[@tcman10]

hey were doing this song for all-state this year!!! I can't wait!!!

[@Maggieeileen]

First heard this in my choir class and now i am obsessed... literally! :)

[@purplecatherine]

So beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.

[@Rynocreature777]

this is the best one i found! i like it alot!

[@SeijiOnoss11]

Of all the recordings of this song, this is definitely among the best!

[@QRRBRRBLLBL]

I listen to this everyday because it is so amazing. :)

[@soyman92]

absolutely exceptional

[@cookiemonsterriversi]

That's me! lol! I was a bass in this choir!! Hehe

[@c0mplex564]

Marty Ranweiler currently working on this in my school. It’s so beautiful

[@Draconis0678]

my last post was 40 minutes ago, and in that time i have learned the song, as well as to sing in a scotish accent.

[@dandrerivera9226]

I love this so much.

[@Fjdjslkzncdkzkshfj]

Greatest arrangement ever

[@lemonsquishy]

@loydsheryl correct this is the 2008-2009 men's all state choir from Minnesota, performing at Orchestra Hall.

[@IrisG77]

I love their pronunciation of the text. Great, great job.

[@tennotes]

outstanding performance.

[@Jipeinc]

that was just beautiful

[@littlelilly93]

I so wanna go there!!

[@1carrigdhoubh]

This is my favourite performance of Loch Lomond. I also love the Jonathan Quick arrangement performed by the Irish choir Pfizerpfonics on KZbin. Very fine Irish tenor soloists.

[@claidheamdanns]

Beautiful!

[@Draconis0678]

this song is one of the best of scotish heritage, and it is also very emotional. but at the same time, it gives an insight into the enormous power of song.

[@VoiceofReason06]

Kudos to the soloist! Great voice!!

[@CuzzinIt1991]

This is not minnesota!! This is Oregon! I was a participant in the women's choir this year, and this was done by the men's choir that year. I even have the CD that I received after the recording was finished.

[@pats4patrick213]

oo this is the jonathan quick version. i love this version. especially the moving eigth notes in the 2nd verse. its tenors in this version but when we do it with our choir its altos (altos ftw) my choir does this version all the time. they took the "dais" at the end a little fast. theyre pushing like 150. im pretty sure the tempo marking is just a hair faster than 120. still arguably the best version on youtube though.

[@davidgilkey7218]

Well done !!! if you are ever looking for a full choral arrangement of this check out Alma College Choir in Alma MI. and get in touch with their director Dr. Will Nichols. it often gets done there at the annual concert during homecoming (college mascot is the Scots and yes there are pipers there too!)

[@JWillNoChill]

@boarder9309 Joseph Biggalo did the first solo, I don't remember the name of the lad who did the second.

[@nerdspasms]

We song this in my choir only difference is we had soprano and altos for a nice even pitch and sound this is still amazing

[@CuzzinIt1991]

no , it's oregon. I was in the choir that year.

[@Taxman5scotty]

Yes! lol. I want me and my fellow men's choir to sing this song! It reminds me alot of Danny boy and Shenandoah. :)

[@loydsheryl]

@Bravette2012 Traditional tune, arranged by Jonathan Quick

[@musiccouturexo]

this is really, really good

[@yomega69]

same place vocal essence did the whitacre concert, hence the falling cubes of doom

[@nitetrane98]

Oh my Lord, the basses in there, the basses!!

[@frogonkeeper]

You know your a choir nerd when you wake up singing this song and than the ferst thing you do is go on youtube to lisen to it.

[@bravesman218]

we did this song at GMEA allstate last year, i was a tenor 2. this version is definitely a lot faster than how we did it, and i dont really like this way. the singers were great but the song needs to be slower, especialy the "dai's" those were my favorite part of our concert, but here they just flew through them, i was disappointed

[@MattJ241]

This may never be matched.

[@MarketCipher1]

[@nathanhackenberg414]

this is the Jonathan Quick arr.

[@Patick478]

yeah this one is the best one... better than most ...i think the others just had bad quality

[@loydsheryl]

All State--which state? Above, someone said, "Minnesota for the win!" Is it MN?

[@ArtemisOSX]

@kaiserbunny132 Ah. Excuse me, I thought he or she was referring to the song itself.

[@PocketC00KIE]

Oh man if only they were from Wisconsin. Then they would sound like angels. : P

[@forthelolzness]

The part at 3:50 sends chills down my spine.

[@boarder9309]

who sang the solo?

[@duncancallum]

Well done ,sung just like a Scots choir would do it .Duncan.

[@JonathanAguilar101]

Do you know the name of the arrangement?

[@mgvwolf]

what version was this one again? my fav version

[@SwayVanathane]

Me too!

[@IrisG77]

Wow, they are lucky to have a men's choir. They sound phenomenal. For which state is this all state for?

[@danieIlondon]

No no no, its like when people complain about people saying "he dead"! No, he died, now he dead! Therefore one can argue that there IS about 400 different composers in the same way that they are :) both states determine the pre-condition of existence, yet the neo-classicalists argue for the latter. A sad day for the english language.

[@adamfinch9749]

I'll teck the high road and yeel teck the low road

[@tombenedict9136]

you were in a mens chorus? its MN. cuz i was actually in the choir

[@jadonfloyd2987]

same with me!

[@Autobotsunited]

@ItsAFluteThing Hi Hannah.

[@TheOneAnOnlyAthena08]

Amist I Bovvered?

[@kaiserbunny132]

@OldSlimey Pfizerpfonics is irish.

[@nitetrane98]

The only thing that could possibly make this better would be if they would be considerate enough to have a few more quiet spots where idiots could cough.

[@1carrigdhoubh]

A great choral piece. I love Jonathan Quick's arrangement of Loch Lomond. See Pfizerpfonics version on youtube.

[@jyosefr]

Minnesota.

[@Blitzcomo]

I can feel me Scottish bones stirrin' in me body. Rest assured, I am part Scottish.

[@tonyliuplace2005]

its more beautiful if you know the story behind it

[@Westcountrynordic]

If you want to hear 60,000 Scots signing this search for Scotland Football (soccer) half time Loch Lomond, just have some kleenix ready Here's one with 70,000 singing kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHWzfaGIe9-VrJYm25s

[@karadactyl97]

@24gdizzle i bet the one person who dislikes this vid saw this comment and disliked it to make u wrong lol

[@mercinary1000]

awsome song but the audience should stop with the coughing, it destroys the awsomeness of the song

[@Platinum400]

Yeah those tenor 1's better work!

[@ArtemisOSX]

@1carrigdhoubh Scottish

[@jyosefr]

@PocketC00KIE Minnesota trumps Wisconsin when it comes to choir.

[@Loveselliottsmith]

and Michigan trumps all y'all!
