This performance is a very beautiful harmony. My heart is trembling with emotion!

Thank you very much! 🎵

So beautiful. Another masterpiece by Whitacre. And talking about masterpieces, your work is mesmerizing. Hope to see you in Portugal someday. ❤

Thank you so much for this stellar performance of this beast of a piece! Fun fact, I've heard countless time the "official" recording from the Whitacre Singers from Water Night, and never realized their tenors "messed up" the interval bar 103 (then went up a fourth instead of a minor 3rd), 8:04 in your recording here, you made me realize that ! So a very specific thank you 😁

I'm not a christian, but, to see art made of something that can be as raw and humane as the bible, I appreciate it as an artist myself. Such a moving piece, and I have to say, this is one of my favorite performances of it... The acoustics of that place are amazing!

So im not religious, but i have read the bible. This story always got to me, as I always knew King David mustve felt incredible grief at being betrated by his own son, and then finding out he was killed. When I first heard this song, especially the part at 10:20 and above, it really made my heart fill with tears and feel that grief. Beautifully done. Thanks for this

Beautiful- so touching- I can feel the grief & pain of David. A masterpiece! I’ve listened to a few choral groups singing this song. Your group is definitely a favorite of mine. It touched my heart. 💜

The burgundy dress is refreshing instead of the classic 'black' for everyone.

Whiteacre is fashionable, but his music seems not to be more appropriate then the excellent versions by Renaissance and Baroque composers.

he's just more modern and original

What are you trying to say? This piece is exquisite

[@_PITBOY]

This recording is a disaster. During the louder more percussive parts, you can hear the waving sine-wave of oversaturating the mics. Sounds horrible.

Sounds like a you problem, sounds really good on my end
