Ride the Chariot

[@Horselo285]

Wow! What a great performance of this song! I love the soloist!

[@christine3941]

Sang this in my high schools vocal ensemble. I sang soprano 1 and never shied away from the top notes but at times felt self conscious because I was the high soprano in the group (still a high soprano and now well trained from taking voice lessons in college) I can almost sing like the soloist in the video especially near the end and when she sings “I’m gonna ride” hitting the higher notes.

Good performance !! This is frequently sung by many Japanese University Glee Clubs. I sang also as a member of Glee Club this June in Tokyo. One of my most favorite spirituals.

[@angelicaamiman9931]

The soloist👍💕

[@elijahleduc8680]

these tenors held their own very well !

[@smoothskin46]

This was excellent they did a wonderful job.

[@ElleCee62978]

A staple of Nazareth Academy’s Chorale. Sang this 25 years ago, it’s still performed.

[@ShangoJamal]

This arr. almost always goes flat, so that it ends up being a full whole step lower than it started.

[@sugargenius1821]

I’m singing this song with my choir in school

[@DorindaColeman]

Excellent job

[@lornacd]

This is beautiful.

[@BlackPersio]

The soloist is a good singer.¡Is perfect!

[@Marissahammond]

wow to the soprano solo!!

[@jeffnelson7669]

Is Ride the Chariot the real title? I sang this is HS. Who is the arranger?

[@elijahleduc8680]

I actually think that the group as a whole tackled this song AMAZINGLY. this must have taken MONTHS of constant practice XD

[@victoriagovantes2544]

the tener section is really good

[@deimaxox]

Wait where are the altos??

[@ranylevy4218]

they are singing the songs at its normal vocal

[@HannahSOTC]

Very nice!

[@brittneymastin9329]

Who has the melody?

[@britlitsch6571]

[@jules010883]

No... It's the sopranos for most of the song.

[@florianmeyer4828]

We are actually singing it in our School Choir.... It´s the Bass ;)

splendid

[@marta_yana7302]

это лучшее что я слышала)

[@Jake_Broer]

Same here. It's actually not that bad when you get used to it. The director has changed it up a little bit, but not so much as to make it sound weird. This version is good, but this song was written by slaves before they were free, and they didn't pronounce the ends of the words as hard as they do in this, but other than that, it's a good song.

[@DaDadecountychick]

omg it's gettn not getting my professor would of stopped the preformance.

[@PerspicaciousTurtle]

No, the lyric is gettin. They aren't doing it wrong, and you aren't better lol. The music says gettin'

[@eliasbachner1898]

I see what you are saying, I think that this choir is over-pronouncing things a bit. They are kind-of saying get'tin instead of get'n. But idk im not an expert.

[@ryannharrison5097]

wonderful soloist

[@robertmasita337]

Good

[@Jake_Broer]

tenor*

[@okarowarrior]

La solista canta esta pieza como una cantante lírica... en mi opinión queda horrible. The soloist soprano is singing this negro spiritual like a white opera lyricist singer. In my opinion, it's the wrong way to sing this kind of music. (excuse my language mistakes)

[@Thesantyrodriguez]

okarowarrior I know it is a chorus but she's done well. This group has given its own style to this song.

[@williamponder6286]

The lead soprano wasn't the best. She's mezzo soprano and should be a higher octave

[@capitnox]

The lead soprano was horrible.

[@santiagoriveralastra9948]

So I think you can do it better no? If don't, just shut up.

[@capitnox]

Uhm, I don't think I could sing it better, I know it for a fact.

[@susanbraverman720]

Out of curiosity, what problems did you have with her performance?

[@capitnox]

It seemed uninspired. It was lacking in depth. Her intonation was poor, very little dynamic inflections in some parts (esp in the 'I never can forget the day' part). In laymen terms, it was a hot mess.

[@susanbraverman720]

Okay, interesting points. Thanks for the response!
