Thank you so much because I’m one of the original members of the Moses Hogan Chorale and I was in this recording. I was one of the first sopranos; I cry when I hear all of these songs Moses wanted perfection and we gave it to him. I loved Moses so much, I loved everyone in the group this was my family and we loved music.

It aint nothing like some seasoned voices under dynamic leadership! You absolutely have to apply strict, knowledged discipline to your voices and rehearsals to sound this good! I mean their pitch, dynamics, accents, crescendos, decrescendos, intonation, accuracy, and fonation is just indescribably incredible. For Christ's sake, they even know how to apply facial expression and are not afraid (unlike some choirs) to get 'ugly' in the face to make that song sound as incredible as they do.
