The Nathaniel Dett Chorale - The Battle of Jericho (intro by Moses Hogan)

From In Performance with the Nathaniel Dett Chorale, produced by Riddle Films.

[@Cllstnvlnst329]

Hogan: "I asked the men to explode the T's, and make more of a percussive sound" (paraphrased, of course) Chorus: "Joshua fit the baddle, the baddle of jericho!"

[@miguelaguilar8931]

My choir director said the same thing lol

[@smithereens6669]

Immediately, baddle!!! 😂😂😂😂

[@rachelm5363]

i love how you can see the audience smiling throughout this performance. i feel like most people watch choirs with a somewhat serious expression, but there's an infectious happiness here

[@brandfairs9684]

Does anyone else see it in 2020? (like)

[@thelistener13]

Absolutely see the walls tumbling down and the TRUMP is our trumpet

[@thefirebeast560]

im in 2020

[@claireclarke7789]

2021 baby!

[@mcouzijn]

Sorry, no, this is 2021 already! :-)

[@CharlieBladeRemus]

1:49 - that lady is REALLY feeling the music! lol

[@snareplayr23]

This is one of the grooviest choir pieces I've ever heard. It just grooves so hard!

[@TheMaestro2005]

R.I.P Moses Hogan

[@CaptainLuckyDuck]

Breaks my heart that he passed away. Seriously, the man was musical genius!

[@lawdawgjason]

I enjoy this choir. I was honored to sing the with Moses' choir in Covington, LA a few years before his death. He was a beautiful, gentle genius.

[@shaquannahyoung8981]

I was blessed to be direction by him! Rest in Power Mr. Hogan❤

[@Kenobi624]

Moses is a genius. I love how the section have their own important parts while the rest create a "conflict" as moses put it with makes this piece go together really well. It also creates the energy needed to have a stronger effect on the important parts. (Think battle drums for the backup, the battle horn as the important part.)

[@nasugbubatangas]

My all time favourite Negro Spirtual... Thanks Moses Hogan for this wonderful arrangement. I'm crying at the end of the piece. The Power of the Lord is really undeniable... The Battle is in My Hand!!!

[@thricemarked4831]

There is so much of the right kind of energy in this performance. It is a shame that they were missing the "baTTle articulation that the composer wanted. It would have been so effective from this group.

[@saalikjazz]

This one of the best performances of Hogan's arrangements that I heard. I love how the men kept that sixteenth note going. We call that the "sugar daddy' in funk music. And the conductor really got into it.

[@prp134]

Geeez!!! this song gave me mad goosebumps!!!! I can't even begin to imagine how incredibly amazing this must have sounded live.

[@jude999]

If genius is defined as someone who establishes a precedent that will be and artistic appreciated and recognized into the future, than Moses Hogan fits the bill.

[@CalledByGod615]

that ending was great! I didn't hear the hard "T" that Moses wanted though but it still sounded great!

[@michelcouzijn5862]

When Moses demonstrated that, he accented the b's rather than the t's. I think he was mistaken when he said 't'. The 'b' makes more sense, musically (or rhetorically if you will).

[@binomo5334]

If this song have a hard T , it means God didn't wanna hear the song?

[@swaverACE]

This song brought tears to the judges eyes when we sang it for state festival. Long live Parkside High School Concert Choir!

[@coolest07noevac]

a true New Orleanian musician that is the music that I kown and love from my city. R.I.P one of the greatest choral composers.

[@rrw1981]

Gives me goosebumps ever time I hear it

[@Martincohenphoto]

"This is one of the grooviest choir pieces I've ever heard. It just grooves so hard!" Couldn't agree more!!

[@marvalouisesmith609]

One of the greatest arrangment of Battle of Jeticho ever. Thank you for giving us Moses Hogan.

[@flameblazer3800]

WOW!!! GREAT CONDUCTOR!!!

[@kia7292]

This is my favorite version. I love the rhythm!

[@kia7292]

They really worked this song!

[@kia7292]

It's a few people but seems like many!

[@JaySmith-mz7vg]

His intelligence. He was suchh a gift to this world.

[@russellwest8767]

What a difference great choir direction makes! I could listen to the last 30 seconds for hours

[@ssr7736]

I remember singing this version in high school. God bless Dr. Hogan. May he rest in peace.

[@muttnjeff9030]

Top quality music, conducting, and singer's musicality! Excellent!

[@xzayaivy12]

This song will never get old to me... Just sung this song at my spring concert tonight and we did really good and the audience loved us!

[@j10001]

Brilliant arrangement, pure talent from Moses Hogan. I’ve listened to many choirs sing it and I think the _BYU Singers_ have the best performance and recording of this arrangement (in their album of spirituals _I Believe this is Jesus_ ). It’s just masterful.

[@pamelamasitto8341]

This was an awesome find!! I could listen to this all night!! Thank you for sharing on KZbin!!!

[@LouisDavisJr]

I was blessed to work with Moses singing and recording with both the Chorale and Singers...He is sorely missed

[@blakeeermehgerd6975]

2:44.....so very speechless. I'm singing this in vocal class but the harmony in the end just gave me this feeling like something is holding your soul.

[@naruhina0827]

i love how the second "the walls..." has more of an o sound, "the wolls.." it really makes it stand out. great piece!!!

[@rokhyaellam.-a.gillard1366]

Amazing ! What a performance! !

[@viblo83]

its such a great experience to sing it with your choir. when i watch and hear this version... goosebumps!

[@kdlministries721]

What can I say but.... AMAZING! God bless you!

[@seripanther]

Prepping for my second concert featuring this piece, and DANG. I love singing it SO MUCH. It's genuinely challenging, both in notes and in style, but the challenge pays off in an absolute roller coaster. I would sing this all day every day. Thank you, Moses Hogan!

[@SingerGuy59]

In 2016 the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square took this piece on tour in Europe. I believe we worked harder on this than any other song in that program. It was absolutely electric each time we performed it, and was one of my best memories of the tour.

[@tenor9216]

It's so beautiful, it gives me chills ! This arrangement is so beautiful, and I love the conductor, he feels the music SO much !

[@Huehnchen81]

Großartig! Der Dirigent gibt bloß die Impulse, das Gefühl für das Lied wird ganz von selbst übertragen!

[@jennifereisenhart1963]

I could not love this conductor more!!!

[@NicArgent9]

That rocked my socks. Big thumbs-up!

[@tcman10]

i love how everyone is really enjoying themselves and really getting into the piece i think thats what makes a good choir even better! loved it!

[@daughtersdesire]

The BEST , brilliant!!! GOD BLESS YOU.

[@LynnePedigoRidayReiter]

OH the MAGNIFICENT EMOTIONAL INTENSITY MATCHES THE MUSICALITY!

[@teddennison344]

The actual singing starts at 1:01 (for those who may want to replay just the music after hearing the arranger's dialog once).

[@MrTymon1]

Love this sooo much.....he is a wonderful arranger....major love

[@zirtavia]

The dynamics at the end of this are just yummmmmy =D

[@405232SING]

This song makes the hair on my arms stand up! Especially this choir singing it. No one is nasal no one is hitting wrong notes. no one in the audience is coughing. no one has a crying baby in the audience, this place they sung in had GREAT reverb. There is alot more good qualitys to this performance than bad so STOP hating!! (I'll find you JK ;P)

[@dezireezy]

Wonderful man!! I remember when my high school choir director announced to us that he died. So sad!

[@TheChoralist]

Rip hogan ! The king of Rhythm of all modern composers!

[@xzayaivy12]

I'm singing this song in chorus for my concert on the 26th... I can't wait it's gonna be awesome!! :D

[@emilia6804]

how was it

[@meliaoestreich2597]

Yeah, man, I’m curious.

[@missmochashake]

Astoundingly!!!! historially piece. Thanks for sharing.

[@merson21concha]

The best rendition I heard! AWESOME!

[@jackharisson5598]

Genius composer!!!!

[@jodiackerman9012]

What a blessing his music is...

[@creativekidd100]

Note how he mentioned how he desired the song to sound and the group did the exact opposite 😂 We laughed at this in chorus the other day, but that doesn't mean that they didn't do great.

[@TheVgonz123]

He didn't direct these singers.

[@creativekidd100]

+TheVgonz123 I know, I just think it's funny how that comes from the man who composed the song himself and it just comes out completely differently lol.

[@DerThauer]

Who said that??

[@DerThauer]

Oh, this should have been an answer to "TheVgonz123"

[@theoccasionalvideo]

Same thing I noticed.

[@lamuuule]

i love so much this piece !!!

[@Friedallie]

my conductor instructed us to listen to this multiple times a day. So I am.

[@heartbreaker579]

Wow...that was incredible!

[@rachmaninov58]

Deepest Compliments on this superb performance. I am truly amazed.

[@cameronharris3345]

He is an inspiration to me

[@LadyKay9190]

[@InterpolFL]

He died February 11,2003 so coming up on 5 years this Monday, truly gone too soon.

[@poprockstar101]

[@chrronictear]

[@thetruestfaith]

My Choir teacher was at in the audience at a concert, in which his choir was scheduled to perform at. An announcer came out, and said he had just died of a brain aneurysm. At least that's the story she tells.
