This is the first performance by the group in over 10 years.

The bass were so solid omg. The tenor were strong and rich. The soprano, praise Jesus... dramatic! Look at their faces :) The whole choir did excellent. Thanks for sharing.

Don't skip the intro. A tribute to Moses Hogan should never be skipped. His writing for choirs was marvellous-even for amateur community choirs.

[@ErnestCBattle]

Thank you Yvonne. I intentionally kept the intro for the historical significance. The "intro" featured Brian Stratton who was the featured soloist on many of the Chorale CDs.

Omg that bass is awesome

[@charverz]

Speaking as a Bass, totally agree. Wish I could hit those low notes.

[@boundary2580]

charverz sounds like you aren’t really a bass then. It’s fine, as most high school basses are just baritones.

[@nikkiwest1059]

Moses was such a beautiful soul and talented beyond measure. My high school choir had the pleasure of singing with him on more than one occasion. He is greatly missed!

[@ErnestCBattle]

Thanks for sharing Nikki and yes, he is greatly missed indeed.

[@shonakk9617]

[@augienelson993]

(I'm basso profundo) no song ever Is written for voices like mine, so these are appreciated

[@peterdawes9711]

russian choral pieces for you sir!

[@augienelson993]

Peter Dawes I know, on KZbin there's a lot of Russian pieces that I enjoy singing. There's an opening litany for basso profundo and I think that's about when they stop writing lower Zumba

[@emmeleine9849]

Peter Dawes I second that

[@MisterMcCreepy]

Are you really basso profundo? I've never met one

[@augienelson993]

Max​ if you have Skype or something it'd be rather easy to prove it.

[@kaedonumberger7816]

Love the arrangement, and there are some beautiful, powerful voices in this choir. However....where are the altos?? I couldn't hear them! I think the balance is off, a bit bottom (bass and tenor) heavy throughout with some amazing appearances of soprano. Altos are usually drowned out (fellow alto here) and I'd love to hear more of them! Also, when the choir is singing the word "lord," it might be pronounced a bit too dark for my taste. Again, gorgeous voices, and an amazing arrangement from Moses Hogan. Thank you for sharing!

[@shishiarizti1056]

waaah the bass is just great (all did there parts perfectly)- why didn't it sound hivi when we did it :) ... thumbs up

Daniela Grace Hollero I'm a guy and I am the only soprano 1

[@charlotteclarke7256]

There's a few ladies singing soprano about 5 or 6. The end section one exceptional soprano named Bridget I believe stood out the most. Outstanding talent

[@landoblu]

@@charlotteclarke7256 stood out because she’s the lead. Calm down. What she did was ASSIGNED to her

[@charlotteclarke7256]

@@landoblu lol why thank you for the input. I would reread my comment... 🙄 it's clearly a choir so was more addressing that and their blending of the sound. (Which is amazing!) Not the solos. (Also amazing) Plus above a countertenor falsely claimed he was the only soprano there... which was clearly not true. That has nothing to do with her or what was *assigned* to her..Of course they assign solos that's usually how you get them if you sing in a chorale or choir. 🙄

[@chadspencer8276]

Dani S It was a tribute to one of the greatest composers of all time, not a sermon, so why would you want to skip it?

That soprano at the end sucked my soul out of my body

A little fast but this was dope

For a moment i thought the 4th guy from the top left was Gary Anthony Williams from Malcolm in the Middle. haha. he sure looks like him.

[@khigrant1983]

Something’s missing but I can’t put a finger on it. Not bad though.

[@mariegarrison7081]

The song was amazing. I didn't hear much from the Altos.

[@e.l.lucychiron]

Wish it was a bit slower. It sounds rushed.

[@mel3760]

Ummm that's how they sing those kind of songs , lol!

[@ohohnenyeoo2654]

Ebony Simon that’s the tempo

[@kuckerdoo]

Commitment & dedication? Yes! But this sounds like a bunch of classy singers who never sang together before. No blending at all. And so many note values are just smashed ´n swallowed. Not my thing. Sorry. I refer on the Nathaniel Dett´s stuff ...

[@MisterMcCreepy]

They are surprisingly not really that great. The soprano was great and the tenors were fantastic but especially the bass's, there was nothing but a couple of guys struggling to hit an easy note. Over all I give it an 82

[@bettyharrison9537]

It's a reunion event! Give them a break...

[@TheRoadLessChosen]

Pretty awesome. Didn't care for the tenor soloist at least not in spirituals

[@francinelong2264]

The Tenor soloist was my favorite part. There's no accounting for taste sometimes.
