When I lie in the ground, I want this outstanding uplifting music played for me. The singers are beyond outstanding, and I pray that when it is my time, that I will have this music played for me.

I think I am responsible for about 5,000 of the views of this. What a great performance! Contemplative and then SO very uplifting!

Sorry the organist wasn't watching the conductor toward the end of the first song, but the choir was attentive to Allen Hightower regardless. Otherwise such a lovely rendition and a glorious finish to the program despite the fact that 1/3 of the choir didn't know on which beat to stop clapping. (The only thing I wanted to hear and didn't were a few final "D"s at the end of some key words . . . which was surprising coming from this group.) Still, an extraordinarily vibrant and musical sound.
