Were You There?, arr. Moses Hogan - Anthony León, Tenor

This is the second video I recorded for the online Easter service for La Sierra University Church. I love these spirituals by Moses Hogan and I am honored to perform them with such a great pianist and my great-uncle, Dr. Elvin Rodríguez, even during the Coronavirus issue plaguing our world. Thank God for music that can bring us all together during these dark times!
Recorded at La Sierra University Church; Easter, April 7, 2020.

My beloved husband passed 33 days ago and my heart needs this tradition now. Hiding out now.😢

Praying for the Father to continue to heal your precious heart. ❤

All those who knew Him...stood at a distance, watching these things. (Luke 23:49)

Beautiful, thank you. Your voice indeed sings the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Sitting here on Holy Thursday listening to This hymn. It is so moving, I had to cry.

Hey how I waited for that verse, "were you there when He rose up from the dead" oh man

So very emotional...so heart wrenching.....especially the humming at the beginning of this sacred song.

[@stephentaylor5982]

I listened to about 5 seconds of many others before I heard him. He definitely sang it the way it was meant to be.

Such beautiful lines...it's such a blessing to hear your voice! Such a treat for being so far away!

Hey! Thank you so much man! It's good to hear from you and see you on KZbin too!

[@michaelwagenhauser9128]

Hey brother, can I get this arrangement, so I can sing this at my church?

[@shantywilandouw5347]

👏👏👏👏👏

[@eunyoungkim2588]

It's so gracious. 🙏 I am an organist from Denmark. Can I have some information about the sheet music?🎶

[@marianneorlet9317]

Bless you, Anthony in all your endeavors! 👍 I still can’t believe how I found you. Suffice it to say I am so grateful that I did! 🙏🎶

Thank you so much for your support! Welcome aboard! :D Blessings!

[@waynemiller1356]

Hello, would love to be able to sing this…where could I get a copy of the arrangement ? Wayne

[@paulusmagdaleno]

JC & THEE NAIL POUNDING FIVE WERE THERE-! + pp.

[@arjayereal]

Does anyone know where I can find the score for this piece.

[@michaelwagenhauser9128]

Can you post the arias from Tosca or Boheme?

[@jasonmaynard5722]

While this song is beautifully rendered, you skipped the verse that celebrates the resurrection (hence your singing this at Easter)! "Were you there when He rose up from the grave" glorifies Jesus' victory over death which is the believer's consolation and hope.

[@still3pak]

Yes, yes, yes, my sentiments exactly.. now I am looking for another with that ending. Yes, He arose!!!!

[@michaelwagenhauser9128]

What key is this brother, I would like to sing this at my Church, which is all contemporary Christian music and they need some good old classical voice.

[@amapparatistkwabena]

F major

[@bh5606]

Singing was great. Humming, not so much. Did not like the pace...too slow for me.

[@lindawilson4774]
