I'm sorry, what? This is incredible! Holy smokes.

[@wildaxe.]

there is nothing in my name unless I make it...... that line is priceless

[@andrevandermerwe5572]

@Jeremyloopsmusic I am such a fan of your work and humanity - your comment is everything. Thank you!

[@CakeboyRiP]

Congrats. It is an honour to have this choir perform your work

[@mncedisimndzebele2891]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@laurencopenhaver5366]

My advice is to listen to it on full volume and open your windows

[@homonaledi640]

Dear Stellenbosch University Choir. How many likes does this post need to have for you to cover Phendula by Zahara? It's a song that lifts many people who are having it rough.

[@MuzwakheManzini]

Their never ending smiles on their faces just makes this more beautiful to watch❤

[@antonsaayman4550]

Your Musical Director should never ever retire. Compositions are absolutely amazing

[@lindokuhlehadebe1978]

GOD BLESS AFRICA!!

[@bebongchu_atemkeng]

I have been listening to Madoda Sabelani on loop for the past few days... And then this arrives. Thank you all for your gift to humankind ❤

[@richardlogan1021]

Me too. Madoda Sabelani has to become the international anthem for the fight against violence of women everywhere.

[@DennisSeibeb]

Best choir in the world

[@noncebayaze18]

Wow ❤!! Stellenbosch University Choir you rock!!!!! Can't stop listening to this ❤❤❤❤

[@mulbahkesselly6027]

This Town is my song of the year 2023 with over 100hrs played on KZbin. This version will just take me to a million hours ❤

[@jamessteena]

Stellenbosch never disappoints, I got goosebumps listening to this piece. Beautiful.

[@muitolinkemsky]

Stellenbosch you won my subscription through this song. Ba Mzansi people of the song. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@oliverwabwire2836]

😎.....essential music for my safe space when I need a pick-me-up! And when the drumming 🥁 comes in at 0:24 ....hair stands at the back of my neck

[@ligthmary7041]

[@dcarlod]

When I watch videos like this I wonder why YT doesn’t have a LOVED IT button… ❤

[@rodneywatts2750]

Oh such a joyful production that our world sorely needs with wars going on in Ukraine and Palestine. God bless you from the UK.

Can this choir make available some of their songs on solfa notations for people like me who love solfas a lot? It'd be too beautiful to see how these songs are or can be written on paper. I pray someone sees this comment...🙏

[@sebokemable932]

The drummer🫡🥺🥺

[@andreyspichak1070]

No standing ovations????.. Did this fantastic Choir sing in front of people who don't appreciate the Art of Choral Singing????

[@wsjob82]

저는 지금 새 예루살렘 성전을 보고 있습니다

[@frankmontillon]

The Arrangements from Mr van der Merve are always the Same Style. 😊 sorry.

[@peanutgallery123]

I would have to disagree... Comparing this to their second most recent upload, and to Snow Dance For the Dead, and to Salve Regina, and to Joshua, they're all very varied. They all showcase different techniques and emotions. I guess them sounding like the "same style" could come from them being a larger choir, but that's not much of an argument.

[@mugwanyamuzril1131]

Regardless, he's a god of musical arrangements. I love his creativity and conduction

[@io132]

always amazing love his arranging
