Luther Nordic Choir - Here I am, Lord - arr. Ovid Young

[@suzannel9340]

I love the way they very softly blended in the 1st chorus....The best choir performance I have seen if this ....

[@mbalash3755]

Dan Schutte wrote this beautiful piece. He absolutely hit it out of the park with this one! This rendition is beautiful

[@genenelson3579]

The Luther Choir is as good as it was when I was a student in the early 1060's. A fantastic choir

[@chevy8544]

The 1060’s? That’s a long time ago. Jk I know you meant 1960’s ;)

[@ut2290]

This was sung at my grandmother's funeral--- she was 100 at her death. It is an inspirational hymn and I LOVE this version.

[@lornabryan1053]

Does not get any better,Love this Anthem , so needed today!!

[@novalinnhe]

They hit the chorus and I knew straight away that this was my favourite version of this hymn on KZbin. Beautiful beyond belief - makes me miss my choir days. Will look out for more from this beautiful choir when I get the chance. :)

[@richellesmitley9107]

The men's (ACTS) choir sings this song at my parish. I absolutely love the male voices singing!

[@amybuckwalter6047]

Wonderful.....praise God. Here I am Lord......take me home.

[@imeldalabao1336]

Very angelic voices, beautiful arrangement and rendition of the choir. Fantastic!

[@PattyAHollandB]

Gave me the chills, so beautiful.

[@arvish.8560]

So beautiful, calming and uplifting. Beautiful piano accompaniment!

[@mollylea2643]

This is a beautiful song sung by my church choir many times. We are singing it again this Sunday in honor of our choir director, who is leaving after 6 years.

[@felytwiford4030]

Beautiful !!!

[@pksuggs]

A beautiful rendition of one of my favorite hymns!

[@shialtin]

Thank you for the background explanation - loved the song but didn't know it's history. First heard it sung at an Episcopalian funeral. Truly devotional music transcends denomination; God is God.

[@michaelcapatterson]

Beautiful! The Absolute best I've heard!!! I would love the CD.....well done Ladies and Gents!

[@richarddavis2107]

Absolutely beautiful, brings wonderful memories and raises me up when I'm feeling down. Beautiful job :)

[@elizabethsytsema9773]

Thank you so much! So beautiful, Love this song!

[@marks.nelson284]

Nice, well done beautiful musicality and interpretation... Wonderful Piano great collaboration...

[@novalinnhe]

Absolutely agree - the dynamics are absolutely perfect, and the harmonies even more so. Soft and simple in all the right places, which is so fitting since this is a Nordic choir... and they are honestly some of the loveliest people I have ever come across. Couldn't have put your comment any better. :)

Wow, so angelic!

[@ababin3]

Wow....fabulous 💗

[@vp550]

Very Very beautiful - Thanks

[@citymusic09]

It is Ovid Young. I am looking at the music right now. Thanks for the uploading this by the way!

[@duronimos]

Well I dont agree with the piano being too loud. The warmth of the chords in the arrangement would have been lost if the piano was softer. It is a stunning arrangement and so well executed by the piano and choir. Love it you guys,

[@raymondhenson1951]

I love the song a lot

[@sharonyang1704]

It's a performance recording....its not a mix for a cd.

[@brooksgorst9793]

I agree---I also find him distracting and over-acting as a pianist. I'm a prof accompanist myself.....we "accompany"---not usurp.

[@pouleatonise71]

Marvelous muzic. Pls send arr. Copy so i can proclaim.gods music. Emal [e-mail]. thank you

[@ameliakundel2946]

Steven is a professional pianist now! I was lucky to have him as my accompanist for my solos at Luther! What a talent!

[@friendofjesus1680]

beautiful! Glory to God!

[@lianecornils8733]

Send me. I have nothing to loose.

[@herbie424]

Thank you! Retired choir director.

[@paulhagstrom8395]

Beautiful! The choir is wonderful and a 12' Steinway might be hard to tone down, but he did a great job. I suspect by the acoustic screen they are standing in front of that it was in a large hall or gymnasium. The transitions were also beautiful.

[@myspanishtaste]

Perfection!

[@davidhoadley39]

Lots of comments about the audio mix. Remember, this is a live concert, not a CD recording. Hard to find the right mix when recording is not the highest priority.

[@rinabiswas3008]

Excellent

[@ajplathwisconsin]

The first is composed by Dan Schutte in 1981 after Vatican Council II. Its words are based on Isaiah 6:8 and 1 Samuel 3. The song was then published by North American Liturgy Resources and was later purchased by New Dawn Music, a subsidiary of Oregon Catholic Press. Despite its Catholic origins, the hymn is often sung in many Protestant worship services as well, particularly services that are contemporary rather than traditional in structure and format.

[@Sj64299]

You should check you balance, the piano is a perfect compliment to the choir!

[@lianecornils8733]

Bless Silas

[@goesslry]

One of my favorite Catholic hymns. And, the arranger is Ovid Young, not Wilberg. It's in the St. Olaf Series. Well sung.

[@lianecornils8733]

Captive audience,

[@maestroz25]

@MichaelaMarie2012 no it was the concert in the Twin Cities at Westwood Luth.

[@maestroz25]

The Mack Wilberg is embedded in the video and yes in error. Read the description below the video that is correct.

[@lianecornils8733]

See ya on the road someday

[@kenneth7826]

👏bravo

[@lianecornils8733]

Wow.

[@lianecornils8733]

How shall we bear my people's pain? Remind them what was more important then money as a reminder to do your job safely and correctly.

[@lianecornils8733]

Follow that train of thought.

[@richard_the_piano_man]

I don't agree on the piano being "hot" - the keyboard part adds SO MUCH to this arrangement.

[@maestroz25]

@citymusic09 We will make that change

[@lianecornils8733]

The crescendo is beautiful

[@rinabiswas3008]

Amen.

[@maestroz25]

@Jason31377 I'm only going by what was printed in the program

[@michaelhaney3175]

Yes, the piano is a little on the hot side. I can tell you that as an audio technician the microphone placement could have been much better. It would be great if the choir members could give us feedback from their perspective.

[@maestroz25]

The audio is from the camera on this video. At that point in time I didn't use separate audio in my recording. I now take an audio recording as well as 4-6 cameras. See my recording of Lux Aeterna: Exultate Choir & Orchestra - Lux Aeterna - Morten Lauridsen

[@aaronlang8807]

Is it I +maestroz25 ?

[@deepsky7206]

00:35 someone's running late

[@baritonebynight]

So nice to hear a choir that does not force a white/straight tone.

[@michaelcapatterson]

??????

[@jeangriffin3230]

Beautiful

[@lianecornils8733]

I love you mom and dad.

[@BrandonBurrup]

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure this is Arr by Ovid Young, not Mack Wilberg. In any case its almost identical to the version I have by Ovid Young.

[@Randomperson385]

Brandon Burrup re-read the title

[@lianecornils905]

Maturity , it's an asset. 💕👌👍🏻

[@Krumh0rn8]

this kicks ass

[@colbey007]

wow

[@lianecornils8733]

I see where I got my sense of perfection.

[@MichaelaMarie2012]

Was this at Dorian? I don't remember if it was or wasn't...my choir went last year and performed.

[@herbie424]

All of the below are wrong. It is a wonderful performance.

[@KenWAnderson]

Lovely, lovely! (I'm just sorry that the mics were meddled with toning down the forte crescendo - poor technical oversight there.)

[@lianecornils6603]

💅🏻✝️

[@Mrronren1]

hi! can i get the music sheet of this song?

[@lianecornils8733]

I can guarantee two people who new and will give out names. Guaranteed. So. Say and do all they can. I need the spine thicker on the book I wrote.

[@deborahmatherne]

so sad the acoustics were such that anyone who doesn't know the words already only hears the beautiful tones.

[@lianecornils8733]

I thought we sang well. Even if they keep a chair space between me snd Aurora girl.

[@lianecornils8733]

I should have been called to go out for Gilbert. While he was living. Dirty people up here. 😆😥😥😥😥😥😥😥

[@junglemonkey2310]

This is the problem with most pianists, I prefer the soft dark tones of an organ. piano is supposed to guide, not be dominant and take over. Choir should bring the volume up a bit though, sounds so tiny and small.

[@Snuggelbubs1]

No no no! There are many ways in which the piano here is pure accompaniment (i.e. supporting the choir) and many places in this arrangement where the piano is soloist, which this pianist brings out very nicely. I agree with many commenters that the basic recorded sound is not great here - but this is a live concert. 'Slik er det' as we say in Norway.

[@lianecornils8733]

I would understand completely, your need to retreat, if you lost face.

[@lianecornils8733]

Ten years ago, youbembarked on a lost cause. Let me show you why. 😋🤣😎😄

And all it takes is one.

Must I carry the burden for all if them?

[@lianecornils8733]

Me too.

[@lianecornils8733]

Me Too

[@lianecornils8733]

Intuition😂😂😂😚

[@lianecornils8733]

I think so

[@lianecornils8733]

And I see what gets noticed, when people's reasonable attempts,... fail.

[@sbro1462]

The piano is not too hot. Nice rendition very good accompaniment looks like a student playing.

[@maestroz25]

The piano is a Steinway D. perhaps the sound is more effected by the quality of the mic's on camera than the piano..This is 6 years ago, I no longer rely on camera's for audio. I capture separate audio now. Check out this video from 2015: Same choir, same location and same piano. And, yes, they always use student accompanists. kzbin.info/www/bejne/kJ_Qm4OVrKZ0e68
