I'm 61 yrs old my brothers and sisters so you know that I have heard this song many times over the hard course and winding pathways of my long and often sad life. FYI I got my first solo when I was chosen to sing part of Kumbayah as part of P.S. 24's Spring Festival in 1967 in the Bronx. Music has been part of my life ever since then . Also I have been a hobbyist guitarist on and off since 1970. Consequently, I know talent and dedication when I see it.You have both of these qualities in large supply. Additionally, this video- your performance- made this song new for me ( especially the arrangement). you gave me chills and goosebumps. Bravo! God bless all of you 😊🎼🎵🎶🎵🎶🎹😊❤

Old Simon would be proud of you guys. You have put a pinch of beauty in one of my afternoons. Tks. a lot, and greetings from Spain.

This is such a lovely song and in my humble opinion should be the American national anthem very well song by brits.❤❤❤❤❤❤

Great job, sung with feeling, expression. I was moved to tears when the choir started. Paul Simon must surely love this. Carry on , guys!

My current favorite song. Love this arrangement.

Nailed it!!!!❤❤❤

My favourite song in a most beautiful arrangement performed by amazing singers.. Thank you!!!

This is an old melody, first as "Mein G’müt ist mir verwirret" composed by Hans Leo Haßler and published in 1601. Paul Gerhardt wrote "O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden" ("O Sacred Head, Now Wounded") and Johann Crüger set this melody little simplified to that song. Johann S. Bach used this melody in his Oratorios for the Paul Gerhardt songs above, "Befiehl du deine Wege" and "Wie soll ich dich empfangen".

thanks for the info.

Huge huge huge BRAVO!!!!

This is simply indescribably beautiful!

Een groot genoegen om dit steeds weer te beluisteren . Magnifiek!!

Sweet

Nicely done. Tough tune to do unless you're Paul Simon. First time I heard Rhymin' Simon do it, it really got to me. The Statue of Liberty, sad eyed lady. Home.

Lady in pink at the start of this has those love eyes going on 😍 😂... absolutely beautiful everyone! Lots of love from Calgary 🇨🇦

Wow this is so good. What the heck? This is exactly why I should consider joining any choir I guess.

Thanks for that great song

They’re a British choir! But they nailed this absolutely American tune. Brilliant arrangement, beautiful vocals.

This “absolutely American” tune is actually by JS Bach 😂

Truly THE best cover of this amazing song... Thank you guys for this experience.

🔥Best version I’ve heard so far👍

That was really, really good

I referred to Paul Simon's "American Tune" in a FaceBook post about the Covid-19 pandemic. Simon's was played during an afternoon vigil during Witness At the Border in Brownsville TX across from the Gateway International Bridge calling-out the Administration's cruelty in regard to the refugees kept from crossing for asylum. The song is very poignant and speaks to these times of not only the border witness, but the Covid-19 pandemic. This is a beautiful rendition and by a high school choir. There are other versions, by Paul Simon as well as choral, quite able to get to the heart of the matter.

Fantastic! Beautiful harmonies!

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you.🇺🇸

Wonderful. ❤

One of the best versions after Paul Simon's.

Great choir. I pray that you be forever blessed...Heavenly Kingdom...the higher goal

When's your New Zealand tour? I'll buy the first ticket! Seriously though, that was a beautiful delivery.

Nice voice on the lead singer to start

amazing

WOW!

Muito lindo

Nice song

Beautiful performance and arrangement! How can I get the sheet music for voices arrangement to sing it with my friends?

Beautiful harmony. Lead has a very nice voice but needed his own mic.

Wow
