To sit in that church surrounded by those angelic voices! ❤️🎶

It’s been a while since a song made me cry, but this one sure did. Wonderful job ladies!

They sound like a legion of angels coming from the clouds ..... BEST rendition of 'O Love' on KZread, live or recorded

I cannot stop listening! What a beautiful introduction for me of Elaine Hagenberg's music!

Thank you

This was absolutely stunning and took my breath away. I needed to hear this today. Thank you for a beautiful and heart felt performance

This is a stunning performance of a gorgeous piece I did not know until I heard of it through a choral director's post on Facebook. (My students are so excited about performing it next year!). I know there are other performances on youtube, but I'm not interested in looking to listen to one as this one is so utterly satisfying in pacing and phrasing, with gorgeous tone color from the young women and terrific long-range musical architecture. Bravo to Maestro Maunu and Arvada West High School Singers! Your great talent and musical depth is deeply gratifying to the soul! Thank you.

Beautiful!! And a high school choir - amazing! Love this arrangement for SSAA

Absolutely stunning! What a lovely group of young women expressing the gorgeous lyrics and harmonies of this song. Thanks for the gift. Bless all of you, you warmed my heart in a big way!

Great singing, and the church also is beautiful.

This is exquisitely performed. My all time favorite arrangement of this song.

Gorgeous! I love this song. The choir I sing with does it, the SATB arrangement.

Since I was a child I was delighted with the sweet and angelic voice of the soprano, in this powerful choir I see beautiful sopranos and against tall; Apotheosis a masterful interpretation.

Stunningly beautiful! Though it's been over 25 years since I was in choir, my love for choral music has only grown stronger.

I’m at 63 years out from high school singing this selection and 30 years out from conducting but this performance stirs my soul to yet sing from my heart. Thank you.

I was quickly trying to learn the standard alto part for this song and stumbled upon this. Wow. Wow. Wow! It brought me to tears. This is perfection!

I can’t believe this was only a year ago I miss this

O love, that will not let me go, powerful, awesome and beautiful lyrics, thank you.

Absolutely beautiful and soothing - and lovely cinematography 💕

O LOVE THAT WILT NOT LET ME GO (George Matheson) O Love that wilt not let me go, I rest my weary soul in thee; I give thee back the life I owe, That in thine ocean depths its flow May richer, fuller be. O light that followest all my way, I yield my flickering torch to thee; My heart restores its borrowed ray, That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day May brighter, fairer be. O Joy that seekest me through pain, I cannot close my heart to thee; I trace the rainbow through the rain, And feel the promise is not vain, That morn shall tearless be. O Cross that liftest up my head, I dare not ask to fly from thee; I lay in dust life’s glory dead, And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be.

Amazing clarity of diction. The movement of the various parts was thus clarified even more. Lovely!

Amazing.Very good sopranos

So beautiful..! Thank you...it soothes the soul. ❤️

GORGEOUS!!! Love this key :)

sheer awe

So angelic sound!! ❤️❤️❤️

Nicely done! Brava!

Beautiful job guys! Just gorgeous.

Very spiritual and lovely!

Thank you. Thank you every one of you. Thank you Chris Maunu, Emily Keelan.

Gorgeous. And smooth camera transition!

lovely ensemble sound - well done

A re-issue, this time with a “new” melody by Elaine Hagenberg. No question, the music is lovely 😊.

That actually gave me chills during one of the crescendos. Beautiful job.

Lovely arrangement of familiar hymn.

Beautiful healthy singing. Just lovely.

You have done justice to this. It makes me tear up a little as the closing of school prevented my Concert Choir from finishing this deeply heartfelt song. Congratulations to this women’s choir for a beautiful performance.

Wonderful!

Bravo a todos. Bonito lugar

Masterfully done!

angelic 🥺

Stunningly beautiful. I was curious how it would sound without the tenor and bass parts. The answer: still amazing!

Come thru Altos!!

this is so pretty :)

Beautiful performance. What equipment was used to make this recording?

So how many times did you have to sing this to get all these camera angles? It looks like at least three, one for when you were in choral formation, and two to capture both angles in ring formation. (And that assumes you had more than one camera for the first part.)

What venue was this recording taken place?

Where can I find the sheet music for this?

would share but the sight of all the crosses makes me too sad.

very low altos!!!!

Whose gonna be hitting up 2 steps from hell ? :D ... look them up if you don't know who they are!

So beautiful. Completely wrecked me; I'm crying! . I have to ask, though: Why are there so few young women of color in your choir?

That's a really strange observation, but a bit of simple research would have given you the answer: 'The racial makeup of the city was 89.08% White, 0.9% African American, 0.8% Native American, 2.2% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 3.5% from other races, and 2.7% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 13.7% of the population.' (Wikipedia) The city is 90% White.

Excellent and beautiful!! But the pianist plays wrong note when she playing m. 32. Its disturbing

I can't watch the conductor because the music (choir) and his movements are completely out of sync. The choir performed beautifully.
