VOCES8 & Chineke!: Deep River

[@NikMcQuillin-zm4es]

This song is truly amazing, and it has pulled me from the sadness and despair of the loss of my brother. The thought of him praising our Lord with this very song brings me to tears everytime. God has taken something awful and made it beautiful. Praise Him for the gift of song.

[@85notout]

How can 8 voices sound like 80? Beautiful, makes me want to start singing again at 85!

[@mechthilds5083]

Oh, please sing it is so good for your health ... Love from Heidelberg

[@catavasken]

Acoustics, of course!!

[@albillington7778]

I've never heard strings and voices blend this well, the low instruments especially, they sound like a basso profundo section. Incredible.

[@riverdonoghue9992]

Best version I've ever heard. Brought me to tears. A little bit of heaven on earth.

[@juliarunn5009]

The fact that we can hear their voices over the instruments is incredible to me, both the instruments and their voices are so powerful!

[@hughvane]

Sound engineers. Remember them gratefully.

[@InfernoXV]

@@hughvane well yes and no.. a well-trained voice can always soar above strings.

[@christianheidenreich3673]

And on the very top of it all, shines the small but bright star, named Andrea. 😁

[@matthewsaxman1028]

There're mics right in front of them.

[@counselor2005]

To each his own, I guess. Fine performance, but it is a live room and everyone is over-miked, for my taste.

[@davidhinton8654]

Ooooooohhhhhh man… I live in and am from the SOUTH… have been singing this piece for decades and nothing compares to this… wow

[@ShelaghBluebell]

This is so beautiful and moving--a deeply emotional and prayerful rendition of an important expression of grief and longing in the huge sad saga of the American black experience. Thank you all! Thank you!

[@chrispetersen1303]

Such a gorgeous arrangement!

[@mddell58]

👏 Bravo! 👏 Thank you for lifting people's attitude, as well as their spirit. ♥️

[@cjbarytone3790]

Thank you for blessing us this morning with such warmth, tranquil yet beautiful rendition of this piece! ❤❤❤🌻

[@admdavid]

One of my favorite American spirituals performed beautifully!

[@ohmy5650]

Tranquil & awe-inspiring like a deep river. A 🎁 of beautiful musical experience. 💝

[@tjraagas8660]

Lovely arrangement and rendition! I especially loved the TB unison starting in 2:40 then building up to the split at 3:00. Like Wow!!

[@jeffnally3127]

Voces8 does it again...just when I thought Deep River couldn't be any more beautiful. Thank you Voces8!

[@katerinawhitley2706]

I listen to this rendition regularly for the good of my soul. Thank you. All of you.

[@guttogatorop]

why am i crying? :'( thank you for this beautiful piece.

[@gillesdevaux2241]

Magnificent! What a beautiful harmonization of voices and musicians!

[@mkshffr4936]

Andrea you transport me straight to glory. Thank you.

[@TankNamedTom]

Flabbergasted! Such a beautiful rendition. 🎶

[@helmutraschke]

Wunderschöne Interpretation, voces8 wie immer hervorragend und das Zusammenspiel mit dem Orchester, einfach gelungen, berührend

[@fritzlotscher9602]

Another perfect sound from VOCES8. Wonderful power paired with absolutely secure voices. They are accompanied by an equally perfect string ensemble. So the Gospelsong Deep River gets the right sound, in great perfection.

[@webrexog6010]

Eine wunderbare Fassung und mit VOCES8 - was soll man sagen - (m)ein traumhafter Sound! Thank you!

[@boscmichel3818]

Bravo encore ! Je vous écoute souvent avec bonheur et apprécie aussi vos prestations avec d'autres chanteurs et des musiciens

[@SuperJerbot]

What an incredible arrangement and performance. Thank you! I'm not crying, you're crying:)

[@franksliwa362]

I am in awe of the ease in which they project their voices into the space! The females lovely floating voices are stunning! I enjoy this group of vocalist very much! Much of their music taps a deep emotional part of me! Maybe it’s the feel of the godly sounds that can only be produced by the human voices.

[@miracleumezinwa3972]

One of my favourite pieces by T.H. Burleigh. I'm thrilled by this awesome performance. So glad to be hearing this arrangement. Nice work!

[@TheONETITWONDER]

Heart rending and peaceful with a splash of joy for good measure 💚

[@VoltaireMM]

Bravissimo from Lisbon, Portugal.

[@TheONETITWONDER]

My dad would have loved this. I can hear him now, harmonising and getting so much enjoyment. This brought tears but happy ones. Thank you

[@lkj974]

Everything they said about the vocals, but also praise to the intro by the violist.

[@derekambler]

Viola actually!

[@AnjaHuebel1]

I could do with a lot more from this partnership! Just delightful!

[@tlafleur8433]

I have watched this at least 3 dozen times.

[@briancrowle6290]

Not only do the voices and instruments blend so well and keep perfectly together in time, but they also do so over the whole range of dynamics of this wonderfully expresive piece. Pure heaven in music. Oh well, time to come back to earth!

[@stephenhetzel8437]

It's 9am on Sunday, about to go to church to play the organ and this was just perfect to hear. Many thanks,, gorgeous.

[@monologtube]

Love the production on this! Beautiful, organic mix!

[@brucecampbell6133]

Moving arrangement and performance!

[@DiddlyPenguin]

Just beautiful

[@garyhinkle5736]

Absolutely Stunning ❤

[@williamlewis8741]

wow such richness of tone and feeling. welcome to your new soprano Molly.

[@stephandippon9973]

The most beautiful version of this song - as arrangement and performance!

[@riverdonoghue9992]

Heavenly. Excellent conductor

[@richarddiver1562]

Sad to see a couple of comments from people unable to enjoy this on its own merits. Such compositions are of obvious cultural significance but as music, this is a gift to be shared by artists and audiences alike. Surely togetherness and cultural learning is what makes music so important to humans of all cultures?

[@JameSongMaker]

Nope. Some things aren’t for non-Black people.

[@richarddiver1562]

A grade ignorance or you need to crawl back under the wooden bridge because the billy goats are coming for you!

[@izzyfreeman11]

Absolutely beautiful arrangement and performance.

[@jameshawkins7107]

Amazing arrangement and singing. It’s the only choir I’ve heard where it’s almost impossible to single out a voice - even the counter tenor

[@robbabcock_]

Beautiful! I love VOCES8! ❤️🎼🎵

[@tjwhite1963]

Wow! Sublime, Ethereal, and Utterly Exquisite and Ravishing. ... Superb arrangement and performance! Bravo!

[@eugenievanzyl]

This was absolutely beautiful, thank you! I would mind getting violin lessons from these very talented people!! 🎻🎻🎶🙌🙌

[@Pensivata]

Beautiful performance. Great to see such a diverse collection of people collaborate - prejudice and bigotry should have no place in today's world. (Especially the soft bigotry of low expectations).

[@zabaleta66]

So it's not good enough that we can appreciate their talents solely for our enjoyment!?! There are no low expectations with a VOCES8 collaboration.

[@loraynechaldecott2840]

That was so beautiful. Thank you all very, very much.

[@roserichmond-nkosi9026]

Greetings from South Africa. Magnificent rendition. I sang this hymn in a double quartet years ago. Nothing like this rendition. Beautiful ❤️

This arrangement of this Spiritual is so beautifully heartbreaking--it has driven me to tears. Thank you for this. Perhaps this arrangement can be sung at my funeral….it would be a lovely thing to song me home.
