The choir I am in at my school sang this for our concert last night and it is such a beautiful song that if we were able to sing it again i would want to.

[@actuallyjanedolyn]

[@jennakeith5711]

This has to be one of my favorite pieces I've ever sang! I did it once for Jr high county chorus and choir sophomore year!

[@lisfong]

Ahhhh! I remember back in the 90s when all the choirs were doing this! Still a GREAT song! Definitely the best Sanctus out there! And this is a very nice interpretation; a bit more staccato than I'm used to, but that's the beauty of music! So much room for interpretation.

[@GeliJoGirl]

We're singing this for contest. It's one of my favorites that we are doing. I love how it sounds, especially the bass parts.

[@ellaafrell]

My High School's Chorale did this at the Spring Concert and it made me upset that I never have time in my schedule to take Chorale class.. :(

[@MonsterVSAnimal2]

[@Feebrmeister]

Beautiful powerful song. Great work! :)

[@nancymcshane]

The choir at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Fayetteville, AR, is singing this on November 20, 2011. It helps this alto learn her part to hear this excellent group sing it so well (though I hope our choir director takes the tempo down a bit; with changing back and forth between 4/4, 6/8 & 10/8 it leaves me a bit breathless!) Thanks for posting.

[@HarvestGoddess]

This piece is a winner.

[@rebeccarlord]

It was great having you in choir, Jake! Best wishes with all you're doing.

[@the1dcupquake261]

My 10th grade choir is singing this for our spring concert :)

[@fluffydevil13]

[@ThePanicAtTheDisco1]

I'm doing this for my school concert :D

[@emanueldolo124]

I have to sing this for state!!!wish me luck

[@haleyanderson3982]

The soprano part sounds hard, and I'm thinking about auditioning for county chior. This is the audition song. Does anyone have any tips on how to sing the song??

[@kayleefell]

Just practice, practice, practice.

[@HeeHooTheFool]

Haley Anderson Soprano part isn't as hard as it seems.

[@avadakedavra9500]

It's not as hard as it sounds, it's actually rather easy once you get it.

[@fluffydevil13]

Haley Anderson its actually pretty easy. Just focus on dynamics and pronunciation. If you're a first soprano this is in your range. Its not actually that high of a song.

[@emilygauntt3113]

i sang this at all region choir (soprano 1) and it really is hard. the main things are to just closely watch your director and have good breath control.

[@magicallymya101]

I’m singing this at a competition later this year lord help me #alto

[@SebisRandomTech]

I have to sing this for HS concert choir. A beautiful song, but you have to work for it.

[@Mgraham23]

i have less than 2days to learn and perfect this for a competition. pooey.

[@songwritersonly]

Well my hs is performing this song.....I get my teacher's point...practice til our lungs give out

[@rebeccarlord]

[@benjaminbeyer3053]

[@medeirosjunior33]

wow

[@ajahleepepper6042]

What’d i do to back in 8th grade in chours

[@mattvwyk]

What are those boards behind the choir? Brilliant invention. Prevents the sound from being sucked into roof of the stage. Where can we get these?

[@kaylaatkins5128]

is anyone from lows Grove middle school in 6th grade watching this in 2016?

[@EpicWott0]

Singing this in school

[@beaumeyer1754]

Pretty easy for a college choir. However you were so clean and your phrasing was beautiful.
