Everything about this is absolutely beautiful! Their facial expressions, the choreography, the vocals, the accompaniment. Brilliant!

[@deryckdavies2365]

Never heard of this choir until they came to Llangollen, Wales and stole the show. Can't get enough of them now.

[@minarajmallaspencerjaddoo3589]

This is just brilliant, I am so homesick I cannot wait to be back.

The best choir of the World! 👍🙂❤️

[@larryhorak6485]

My absolute favorite choir and director!!! I'm a 79 yr old sitting in Southern California, in the midst of a pandemic and a very divisive election cycle. It is so refreshing to leave my current environment and to tune in the Stellenbosch choir(s). I'm pretty much brought to tears when I see the unity of cultures portrayed by the Stellenbosch Choir, and the beautiful music that can be made when we all are happy and work together! God be with you Stellenbosch!

[@melodylupberger8848]

Proudly SA

[@krischanpflugk5818]

[@lilacsstay6518]

[@brun000w]

Amazing!!!!!

[@rosierayson4368]

An example to the world!! One human race singing together like one joyful, talented, beautiful family. May the Lord bless you richly.

[@meltaylor4529]

Born in SA in 1945 had to leave 1967 for fear of imprisonment. Wonderful to see so many different faces in the choir ☺️

[@chesterdonnelly1212]

In my opinion there are two great symbols of South Africa. The Springboks rugby team, and this choir. This is so important, creating high culture that is South African.

[@goubeaujean-louis8693]

What's that ?, it's a magic trick, no... It's a neighbourhood music, no... It's an extraterrestrial group, no...IT'S SIMPLY A FANTASTIC TEAM THAT SINGS FROM THE HEART, IT'S STELLENBOSCH UNIVERSITY CHOIR. My second comment for this group and once again THANK YOU SO MUCH...

[@royaboagyedjan4632]

It takes me back to my choir days... I'll always be in love with SA Choral Music

[@aussieevonne7857]

i cannot love this enough. The technical difficulty is high, and they meet that with passion and perfection.

[@gloriatshabalala3619]

My favourite conductor and choir. Superb!!

[@catherinedaniela1672]

I usually listen to this choir alot and wish to be a part of it.... Too bad I don't live in SA

[@siphelelesibongakonke3100]

Lol come live with me ......I’m not seeing anyone

[@Ellie49]

Love, love, love! I'm an American but I used to live in South Africa. This thrills me and makes me homesick at the same time!

[@vickyle4518]

[@kristieroybal4888]

It's over, and the goosebumps are still rushing! Absolutely PERFECT in every way - EVERY moment was pure joy. LOVED IT!

[@cornemuseur]

I cannot imagine that music in heaven is more beautiful than this. And there’s no doubt they will steel the show everywhere they perform. Not only the singing, but also body and facial expression and surely the choreography contribute to a perfect musical experience. They have several songs that make me cry instantly when they start singing. And of course a fabulous job of Andre van der Merwe!

[@berliozlisten1776]

I like that...so amazing....thanks🙏🙏🙏

[@chesterdonnelly1212]

This choir is doing as much as anyone to build a nation. South Africa is a country of nations, but this here can only be created in South Africa. The best of the best.

[@jerobiamjulies6381]

I love the choreography and I appreciate the choir maintaining the rhythmic progression of the composition as when choreography is added, most choirs tend to rush- but ya'll keep it lit! Super proud! Incredible work here!

[@alankruza997]

Another fantastic video! Thanks to all the choir members and to Mr. Van Der Merwe. You’re the best.

What a great choir from RSA! This song, in particular, is very apropos for the African continent. The university is located I a great wine region of South Africa as well! Would love to visit Cape Town and surrounding landscapes - from Table Mountain to the vineyards to the Game Preserves.

[@kgomotsosetsio]

[@williamc.hensel130]

The BIble mentions 'the weight of glory' - profound, not necessarily ponderous - this composition and this glowing performance have that wonderful specific gravity that is also levity - profound integrity, raising spirits and aspirations and joy. Thanks Stellenbosch University Choir, Hans Zimmer, and God.
