Thank you so much because I’m one of the original members of the Moses Hogan Chorale and I was in this recording. I was one of the first sopranos; I cry when I hear all of these songs Moses wanted perfection and we gave it to him. I loved Moses so much, I loved everyone in the group this was my family and we loved music.

No, the UST Singers beat them. Not because they are the original they can't beat with other choir.

​@@averageloobs9597This is the original, hand selected choir formed by the composer himself. Historically speaking, this is as original of source material as it gets and is not only incredibly valuable, it is historically significant. This is also uploaded by a member of this ensemble. The respect this requires is not only very well earned, it is wholely deserved.

Man, that soprano has a powerful voice!!!! Awesome choir!!! No one can top the originals!!

Perfection! You have to listen to this Chorale to hear how it is supposed to be sung! Every note, every rhythm! Thank you, choir, Thank you, Maestro! We are still listening.

Your feedback is priceless. Thank you for sharing. The legacy of Moses G Hogan continues!! Thank you again...keep listening!!!

This is still the best performance on KZread of this Moses Hogan arranged spiritual. Best for diction, tempo, pitch, tone, articulation, elocution, locution, pronunciation, speech, intonation, inflection, delivery and PASSION.

​@@averageloobs9597 Your opinion is like saying a 1900's recording of Beethoven 5th is better than (if only we were so lucky to have it!) an original recording of Beethoven's 5th performed by a hand selected orchestra conducted by Beethoven himself. Please be mindful.

Just a freaking masterpiece. Everything Moses Hogan has written is amazing.

Moses Hogan was a genius. I am honored that my choir is doing a tribute to celebrate him for our Spring concert. Nothing but TEN amazing Moses Hogan songs for the concert. I am so excited!

That's awesome!! I am proud to say that I was one of the baritone voices you hear on the recordings of each of those selections. Much respect to your director for including the works of Moses Hogan in your college repertoire.

Thank you for uploading this and for everything you have personally contributed to the Moses Hogan Chorale and to performing the works of the brilliant Moses Hogan, and to share his works and to help educate others. It is an honor to able to view this footage, listen to the splendour of its recording, and to be able to communicate that to a member of the Moses Hogan Chorale.

Well said!

One of the best song endings in all of classical music

RIP to one of the greats :( hogan had an incredible gift

Moses Hogan had an amazing way of incorporating the effect of the lyrics into his song. This song is almost sort of a chilling spiritual and you can definitely see & hear that through the singers. Amazing song, amazing group!

the cleanest version of Elijah rock in youtube!

It really is

I love after the legato section when the soprano IIs come in with "comin' up lawdy" Moses hogan is AMAZING!

I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hogan back in 1999. He flew up to Maryland to held teach our All-County Honors Chorus one of his pieces---"My Souls Been Anchored in the Lord". He was impressed. He said he wished LA had such a program. He signed a copy of his song for me. I still have it. My high schools Concert Choir did this song in 2002. We got 1st place & Grand Championship honors in New Orleans.

COME ON NOW MOSES!!!! THE MOST PROLIFIC ARRANGER OF ALL TIME!!!!! WALK THOUGH THE VALLEY IN PEACE RIP TO THE KING!!!

Went to Oberlin when Moses was there- He and I had the same piano teacher, the incomparable Joseph Schwartz. There was always a natural glow around Moses as a young man. He had and infectious smile and was a friend to all. (not to mention an amazing pianist). He was taken too soon.

I am STILL getting goosebumps every time I listen to this. The older I get, the more I can tell they are good, *really* good, at what they do. The tenor part would be really hard to keep under control, and they made it look easy. Man, listen to them all.

We were blessed to have him as a conductor in high school for Sacramento honor choir. We sang this song. Still gives me chills. Rest In Peace Mr. Hogan.

I had the pleasure of singing with Moses Hogan in Los Angles in the early 2000's and didn't learn of his passing until years later. It was a wonderful experience that I'll always treasure!

I was blessed sing and record with both the Moses Hogan Chorale and Singers....he is SORELY missed....

My choir sang this Sophomore year, back when I could totally hit the high notes. I think our choir was really good. We really felt it, and we had more men than we do at present time. God this song is just so good and it introduced me to African spirituals and Moses Hogan, whom I consider to be the epitome of the genre. Even today this song gets me pumped.

Outstanding!! This video takes my breath away EVERY time!!!!!!!!!!

That soprano is sick. Her voice is deadly. Absolutely amazing songs, one of my favorite arrangements by Moses Hogan.

A couples a years ago when I was a member of my college choir we sang this piece of art in a concert and when we finished singing this song people gave us an standing ovation. It was great and it gave me goose pumps. I still remember seeing a seas of people applauding and cheering. It is one of the best moments in my life.

im in the 6th grade choir and my choir teacher is teaching us about spiritual music and she showed us this song and she started dancing with the song and now my whole choir class sings this and dances with her when ever she plays this song

This is just how my high school sound back in the good ole day 97-00 Suitland high ,in forestville Md.those were the days. When Mr Hogan came to my choir they asked me to sing and i chocked ...a rareity.

To BigBoi03, I want to thank you. Your cousin was a beautiful person who, like Moses, left us far too soon. It was my pleasure to honor Rhonda. I am deeply touched by your gratitude. Thanks again and may God continue to bless you as well!!

This Group is awesome!!!! I love listening to them.

we sang this in choir in high school. so many awesome memories attached to it. now singing it again in an adult community choir - so much fun. i love this piece!

This still slaps

I just love Moses Hogan music! I enjoyed singing it with my High School Choir, The Overton Chamber Singers!

What powerful singers & dynamic director. Superbly done. This piece by Mogan brings goose bumps on my skin & tears from the eyes. You guys really rock.

It aint nothing like some seasoned voices under dynamic leadership! You absolutely have to apply strict, knowledged discipline to your voices and rehearsals to sound this good! I mean their pitch, dynamics, accents, crescendos, decrescendos, intonation, accuracy, and fonation is just indescribably incredible. For Christ's sake, they even know how to apply facial expression and are not afraid (unlike some choirs) to get 'ugly' in the face to make that song sound as incredible as they do.

WOW. Goosebumps AND tears. That's such an awesome song.

This is godly

His music is alive and well, thanks to the many fine choirs throughout the world who continue to perform his works. I believe that Moses would be pleased. His light still shines!!!!

This song is a masterpiece. Rest in Peace, Moses Hogan.

Wow. Beautiful and powerful.

Beautiful!!!! Can't beat the original; am so blessed to have heard. :)

Damn that is the best performance of Elijah Rock I've ever heard. I used to do this song in my high school choir all the time. I think we were pretty good, but I've never heard a recording of it this perfect. I finally relized it was performed by original members of Moses Hogans choir.

This is pure pleasure for my ears. God bless.

O MY GOO HOLY LORD IN HEAVEN ABOVE! i DONT KNOW WHETHER TO CRY VOR SCREAM! MOSES HOGAN ACTUALLY WROTE THAT COMPOSITION OF THAT SONG AND MANY OF CHOIRS SING IT AROUND THE WORLD TODAY AND TO SEE HIM ACTUALLY CONDUCT HIS CHORALE AND HE MAKE IT JUST THE WAY ONLY HE HAVE IN MIND IS SHEER AND DEARLY REMARKABLE!!! THIS WAS MORE INCREDIBLE THAN I COULD EVER EXPLAIN IN WORDS! MAY GOD RICHLY BLESS THIS CHOIR AND HIS CAREER!!!!!

My choir teacher told me to look up this peice (We're doing it as well for our Solo and Ensemble group) and I can see why he wanted us to see this! God that was good!

Man how I wish Moses Hogan was still alive I’m glad I had a chance to sing in his chorus one time

chills, just gives me chills. i love hogan's arrangement. sang it in h.s & college.

Wow. that...I don't even have words. Heavenly, and nothing short of it.

Our Choir did this for Northern Ireland UTV Choir of the Year. In the finals we came a narrow 2 second. I loved singing this. My favorite song my school ever did. I was a lower treble.

I sang this song as a second alto 8 years ago, and to this day, it still gives me chills every time I hear it.

This is my favorite piece that I have ever done in 7 years of singing with various choirs. It's so much fun to sing and so powerful.

omg DAT SOPRANO. if only.

I loved singing his pieces in school. A true legend.. the GREAT MOSES HOGAN

His works are amazing. My college choir director loves having us perform his works. We've done Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel, My Soul's Been Anchored In The Lord, Ain't A That Good News, Good News (Chariots A Comin'), and most recently Joshua and the Battle of Jericho. LOVE IT!

Goose bumps

This songs gives me chills everytime I hear it. I sang this song in choir and it gave me chills then and it still does today. Thanks for the beautiful post.

WOW... is all I can say. This song is awesome. One of the chorus groups at my high school did this song, and they were amazing. And yes, for whoever sings this song, TALL VOWELS, it makes the song so much better. Oh and a Happy Belated Birthday to Moses!!!!

ICONIC

NE one else see how Bridget makes it all seem so effortless? I can't help but smile each time I watch this..Kudos

I sung this in High school and College at Kentucky State University! Love this song!

I wish this had been uploaded with better sound, it’s so low! This is the best performance of Elijah Rock on KZread

I know...my camera wasn't the best...sorry about that.

"This choir is still good ..." Indeed. As said in the write-up, this is the Moses Hogan Chorale, founded and directed by the very person who composed the piece - Moses Hogan himself (now of blessed memory). This choir sets the standard!

EVERY TIME I listen to this video it brings tears. Lots of tears. The music is that good. The choir is that good. And, heaven knows, Moses Hogan - God bless his soul - was that good.

Thank you David for sharing your reaction. It was an honor being a member of the Moses Hogan Chorale. Blessings to you as well.

He did just pass away a year or so ago. He brought something special to the tradition, and one must remember that music must evolve and be interpreted in order to thrive and survive through the ages. One must not be so harsh.

That song is just absolutely amazing. The first Hogan piece I ever learned.

I did this song in my junior year!

My God! I will never forget performing this with the GSU choir. Bravo!

RIP Moses Hogan you were one amazing composer.

Bravo!

Greatness. That soprano on the first row was gettin it. that D6>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.

Lawd have mercy! The man was a genius! & that soprano... Lawd I have no words.

Yes, you can learn the styles and how to intonate as such, but we're not here to argue, we're here to listen to an awesome choir singing an amazing song. YOU GUYS ROCK!!! No pun intended.

I just noticed that there have been over 180,000 views of this video. Many thanks to all for taking time to watch and for the many wonderful comments that have been shared. I think Moses would be pleased, knowing that his light still shines throughout the international music community. BRAVO to ALL!!!

i love that soprano!!!! i have chills!!!!

men voices!!!!! yessssss those bases are fabulous! and that high soprano...mmm mm mm i WISH! amazing choir amazing rendition amazing performance

Always loved this number! One of the best recordings I have heard.

FLAWLESS AND PRICELESS!!!!

Wow, I have chills and everything. If I were there in person, I might have died. Just amazing.

I remember performing this song in my high school's concert choir...it's a difficult piece but it's alot of fun once you have it down. Moses Hogan has us beat though. That was amazing.

Fantastic ! Our choir were given the music for this last night. We'll be singing it next year. Hope we can get close to this performance. Moses Hogan is a genius

i love prefoming this song it really brings out every single part the ones and the twos of each section

their inflections are impeccable! Moses Hogan... you are a beast!!! hopefully BVOI can get it done.

This will be Forever!

Absolutely fabulous! Very moving performance! Thank you for posting.

Chills! My favorite chorale

this is my favorite spiritual EVER. definitely moses' best piece, which is VERY hard to choose! the women sound amaaazing during "if i could i surely would!" LOVE IT!

YES!!! Goose bumps!!!

This was excellent. My voice teacher ms. Kinchen really admires mr. Hogan.

wonderful!!! every voice section is well represented -- meaning great chorale group in general. wonderful.

i looooovvvvveeeeee this song!! they are SIMPLY AMAZING!!!

YESSS! Moses Hogan did his thing with this song rite here. my choir is learning this song for our concert next year.

I'm in love with that soprano solo at the end!!!

Beautiful...praise God!

Man, Moses Hogan is by far my favorite composer. I have yet to hear an arrangement of his that failed to be spectacular.

Look at the determined, confident faces in this chorale. They surely know what they are doing! I wish I could do half as well. (I know that to get this good you need to practice.)

sang this song in high school choir and if i recall correctly my choir directer played thid video about 100 times telling us this is how we needed to sound

This was SO good, you guys sounded great!
