This is by far the cleanest rendition that I've come across since learning this song.

they slowed it down, i realize. i wonder if that helped with dynamic execution?

As a bass singer, I love the E we hit as a bass solo! It's so powerful!

My soul was anchored and still is being anchored in the Lord every day and will never stop as long as I live and pray for all those who need prayer, help, food, and the art of listening without interruption - then add "let's pray together".
Can we just acknowledge how great choirs sound when they are memorized??? They actually watch a conductor!

So true- I hate when choirs hold music. It feels like such an excuse because the musicianship and true performing joy that happens with memorized music is unparallelled.
Damn, they've got some altos.

Kamala Lilliane Kechula it’s not hate, it’s constructive criticism.
Slower tempo than most African American choirs, but just as effective. Rhythms are clearly executed! Wonderful!

They try very hard t be service to the text, too fast and it is hard for some to follow
If you take it to a speed of 1.25 it's so moving
The dynamics are what drives this piece so well. Such good blend and intonation. Great director to get them all on the same page here. Great job.
They may look like a mostly pasty white bunch, but they's passion in they voices!

Its Moorehead Minnesota one of the best choral traditions in the country!
Everyone's a critic. Do not pay heed to the critics. You have a beautiful choir. And to all the haters. If they didn't enjoy singing they would be up there doing so.

Damn. Calm down. No chior is perfect and id like to see some more movement. The singing is great. But idk how you sing a soul song and just stand still
Outstanding rendition of this Moses Hogan classic. The clarity of the diction and the involvement and passion of the singers make these notes jump off the page. Tremendous performance by a top-notch college choir!
This is beyond amazing. The blend, the dynamics, the style n approach are all right on point. However, every facial expression is zombie like. All this gorgeous sound and no conviction whatsoever.

You may be a small choir, but the music that you produce from your vocals is beautiful and powerful. We are singing this at the Kimmel Center

Small choir?? Lol gosh. The choir used to be on had like 6 people in it including myself.
I love this so much AHHHH LORD!! You are so powerful
We sang this at the Louisiana state choir competition and won it
Oh my bass 2 they are so good tenor 2 is also very well done.
I'm not even religious and I can agree that this song is absolutely beautiful ... kudos to this choir who sang it so perfectly!!
I miss my choir!
Favorite part of the song is the end where the sopranos hold the A and then go up to that C….. chills man.
The 1st Sopranos hold their last note for 20 counts. :O
I saw this live and it was even more amazing. It's hard to find a recording that does the Concordia Choir justice. One has to see them live to get the full experience. (this is about 90% of the way there)
Carol Coles Perfection in the most wonderful rendition I have heard in years. We have all types of groups in this day and age. But this type is perfect precision and not easy to do at all - but this is so outstanding that nothing can describe this perfection. Blessings to Concordia Choir..
That low bass note at 0:32 😍
A great one by Moses Hogan.
The smallest tenor in the back row in our right is about to dance he's having so much fun. We sang this as a encore after a Sunday afternoon concert at our church years ago. We had the voices to pull it off. It was a complete blast. I think we sang it a little quicker than this.
i'm watching with the music sheets right now, it's more harder to sing it than just hear it. what a song-
Just as I remember singing in the Concordia Choir over 40 years ago!
Please credit the composer... the late Moses Hogan (1957-2003), an amazing person and musician. He has left us a blessed musical legacy.

This will forever be one of my favorite pieces of choir music. I only got to sing the TTBB version but this one is great as well.
This is beautiful and extremely clean, I just wish we had more soul and maybe stronger consontants
I don't even think God himself could pull their attention from that director.! This was so clean and crisp. This man literally controlled this choir with his 2 hands....absolutely amazing and spendid. Does it take away a pinch from the soul essence of the piece...slightly....but for this predominantly white choir, this has been AMAZING!
Let's just take a moment to acknowledge that Dr Clausen is just the most oustanding conductor! 30 years I've been conducting choirs and could only dream of this level of technical control and skill. Awesome choral sound also.
This sends chills down my spine
Amen!!! SO GOOD!
THIS is PERFECTION.
chills every single time
simply briliant rendition
Gorgeous 😍😍 such a nice blend
This is an awesome rendition...speechless!
Great job! Singing this song!!!!!!!!!
Amazingly clean rendition
This is seriously amazing
so many memories from school where we did this exact arrangement!!
Bravisisisimo!!!!!haleruija!!!!
I love how fast this goes and the dynamics that go with it!
Amazing choir and choir director, bravo!
This is a fabulous performance.
Beautiful Job! I remember doing this piece when I was in Concert choir at WHS in Sioux Falls, SD (many years ago)
This song always brings emotional tears to my eyes... beautifully rendered... thanks for sharing
amazing rendition. clean runs, pristine dynamics.
Absolutely love Concordia!!! Cannot wait until they get back to the Fort Smith Arkansas area again!!! Great job, choir!
This is very beautiful
My favourite sounding choir! Wish I could have a choir with such sound one day!
VERY Well Balanced! LOVED It!!
Fantastic. One of the better versions.
I love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Excellent! He and his Chorale would have been proud!
ah, the good ol' days when there used to be choirs and choir concerts
Well done!!! Wonderful sound.
beautiful, spine tingling ending
Powerful!!! I love it. I feel the Holy Spirit in this song!!!
We r singing this for our show choir at school and let me tell ya, this is AMAZING!
Perfect! pitch, tune, harmony..the best of them all! Go MN!
stunning. amazing.... owwwwwooo
Just preformed this song in concordia college. Was an amazing experience. Go soprano 1s!
Beautiful...
Not gonna lie, when I clicked the video and saw one person of color in the entire choir and they were singing a Moses hogan piece I was a little skeptical. That just blew my mind. I love this!
awesome!!! chill bumps
Amazing! Especially the cadence! :D
Wow they really did that 😍
Just sang this song with the Concordia choir on their tour. I’m not in the choir, but our high school got to sing with them.
O God .. This great song
Love it
oh my god i want to sing with this choir.
In a couple days, my choir will be singing this song in the Vatican during communion! Super excited!
its really awesome
My choir loves doing this song.
Bravo!!!
goosebumps errwhere
My 9th and 10th grade choir, and chamber choir is singing this in the spring with our orchestra accompaniment and it is going to sound so powerful with soprano 1 &2 alto tenor and bases. We have so much talent in our class it is very exciting
Lovely 😍😇
one of my favorite parts is 2:25. i just think that sounds so awesome. love this song so much
What a great interpretation! Congrads! Greetings from Slovenia :)
literally only here bc my choir (who also won the madrigal festival this year) sang this as one of their main pieces for a bunch of competitions they did and i’ve absolutely fallen in love with it
Love the basses
CHILLS
Awesome! :)
I'm glad the you found the right place for you Patrick. It is always hard to hear something harsh about your beloved alma mater...but then no place or no person is perfect. I appreciate your response.
Very fine interpretation!
I hate to agree, but the only choirs that give me true chills are in constant, yet subtle, motion. That is the music of LIFE.
Very nice!
I really hope I can meet René Clausen again in the future. He was the conductor for my Honors Choir last year and he was amazing. I admire him endlessly and hope I can tell him that in the future.
Grandioso!..
my high school woman's choir is singing this song for a concert I love this we are just now starting to learn the notes it's going to be so awesome e when we are ready!! xD
