This a beautiful song for all of us no matter what religion a person is, it has meaning for hope, love , and forgiveness .
Someday I hope this masterful song from the Tabernacle Choir should be at my funeral.....
You cannot fail to be so proud to be a member of such a humanitarian Church that provides succour, relief, healthcare and teaching to all faiths around the world, and the ethereal voices of arguably the finest Choir on the planet.
The finest piece of choral singing I have heard
I am not a Mormon, too. This is not important. What really matters is the fact that Bernstein's "Somewhere" is an incredible expression of the deepest yearning every human being wears deep inside. Thank you for the beautiful interpretation that is really a universal prayer of all people of goodwill; however, they express their faith in a higher being or sense of life.

Beautiful rendition of a beautiful song
I think this song resides in all hearts... just beautiful.
Leonard Bernstein possessed a genius abilitity and shared it with us brilliantly in everything he did. "Somewhere" is one of the most loving and tender pieces ever written. We are blessed by listening to this performance.

His Chichester Psalms is the hardest set I have ever sang, and I hated singing it too. It wasn't until after we performed it that I realized what a masterpiece it is
Think I have listened to this 100 times now...I'm not Mormon ...but this is just so beautiful.....just incredible

This song... so poignant for any who truly hear the words. A wish to be with someone we can't have, a wish to live a life we can't walk. Such beautiful lyrics that connect with every human being
This a true "Heavenly Choir"~! These beautiful voices are singing for God~! Inspiring by their love~!
One of my favorite all time songs.This is the first time I've heard a choir sing it and it's beautiful.
Immer wieder überweltigend schön, ich liebe es...
I love the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I went to Utah just to listen and witness them sing. It uplift my spirit all the time.
Wonderful music and glorious choir 2:00
You 'guys' know real 'quality' ... and how to 'hit-hard' .... once again truly beautiful .... thank you all!
My dad came here in the 60's from PR. This story is his life.
"Somewhere" is here and now; listening to the Choir sing the song this powerful song gives me Goosebumps;
Heavenly music, beautifully rendered!
Magnificent rendition of Bernstein and Sondheim's masterpiece in my observation. Splendid!
Magnificent! I could listen to this over and over again. 💝🌹
West Side Story and this song are both favorites of mine.

With all of the problems regarding racial prejudice that still exists in this world today "West Side Story" now a movie more than 50 years old is still completely relevant today. Imo, the greatest musical ever filmed. And this gorgeous song sung when Tony dies in Maria's arms was absolutely the perfect but also an incredibly tragic ending to the movie.
I dont know how 51 people could thumbs down this video. The choir and orchestra has sung it perfectly imo.
Blessings to my dear Mormon choir & orchestra. Never give up on praise to The Good Lord.
So beautiful.
This is among the best performances of this piece!
The choir and orchestra perform perfectly as in All other works they choose in quality they can be trusted always energetic and accurate emotional delivery
definitely the best God bless them all for giving so much joy in their music
The voices of angels... beautiful..
They are the best choir in the world. Bar none..this is fabulous

Great song, great choir, great sound! Made my day complete to hear it!
Saw the original west side story in 1957. Loved it then. Cherish it now. Fantastic show 😢😢😢😮
Breathtakingly gorgeous.
One of the simplest and most stirring ever written....gut-wrenching
Amazing performance!!!
8年前から合唱活動をしている70歳の男性です!通常は川崎混声合唱団に所属し、週に一回の練習に参加しています。そして年末は川崎市民第九コンサートに参加して歌っています。合唱活動を始めてから合唱団やコーラス・グループ、合唱曲に一層興味を持つようになりました。そして何回聞いても聴き飽きない曲、演奏がこのモルモン合唱団が歌うSomewhere とClimb Every Mountain の2曲です❣️本当に素晴らしい演奏で心に沁みます。
Yes there is, a place for us, a time
Heute, am 8. Juli 2018, vor drei Jahren haben wir unsere Tochter, die Schwester unseres Sohnes und die Mama unserer Enkelkinder verloren, die den Weg in eine angstlose Welt bei Gott gesucht und gefunden hat. Die wunderbare Musik des Lieds „Somewhere“ aus dem Musical West Side Story von Leonard Bernstein, gesungen vom weltberühmten Mormon Tabernacle Chor, vermag unsere traurigen Seelen zu trösten und stärken zugleich. Danke!
what a beautiful arrangement of music and the choir beautiful
Great music of a great composer Leonard Bernstein, gorgeous arrangement and voices of great Mormon Choir.
So beautiful..
Perfect song ending to what I have always believed to be the greatest musical/movie in history - West Side Story. Oh if it only it could have been for Tony and Maria! The thing is that the entire theme behind that masterpiece, hatred for another person just because he/she has a different skin color is still very relevant today.

Hello, I just looked this up in Wikipedia and found out that 3/4 of the population in Poerto Rico is white. Since the other gang in the musical is comprised of white members, I fail to see any animosity based on skin color, but rather on cultural background. I am a resident of an immigrant country myself, but I am not American, so would you please clarify your statement? Thank you!

Gang members have an unusually high sensitivity to variations in "whiteness" :) They do not care what the dictionary defines as "white" as opposed to "non white".

Another great musical dealing with racism, is South Pacific by Rodgers and Hammerstein. Look up the song "You got to be carefully taught".
Wow, that’s amazing.

Bernstein gave us gifts that will provide joy to countless future generations. This piece touches our deepest emotions. Love and despair but perhaps most importantly HOPE.

I recently participated in a production of this musical, I miss it so badly and the cast and the music. This song brought tears to my eyes. I dont think many people really understand why this song is so moving. Think of each character in this play. A-rab, he goes home to his house and gets beaten by his drunk father every night. Riff, he knows that his gang won't back him up like he needs them to, his best man has left him for Maria, Action will start a fight anytime he gets the chance which could end the Jets if he picks the wrong one, A-rab is so twisted deep down that he is beyond fixing, and yet Riff somehow manages to keep them together. Bernardo, he came thinking that America would be an opportunity for him to become more successful in life, but now as a high schooler he has to fight his way to stay alive in a racist and demeaning world run by corrupt authority like lieutenant Schrank and officer krupke, who use every chance to call the Sharks names and order them around and demean them because of where they come from. It is no different then his home where crime ran rampant through the streets and corruption ruled them. Anita is fiery and powerful and she has a lot of passion, but after Bernardo died she is torn and terrified, trying to take care of Maria. She is almost raped by the jets who are all too twisted from abuse and neglect. She ends up being the reason tony dies and that kills her inside. Rosalia, she is like a lost child, missing her beautiful home, even though it wasn't that great. She escapes into the dilusion that her home is her somewhere because she does not want to be involved in the gang fights. Chino has had to grow up too fast, knowing that one day he would take over the gang if something happened to Bernardo. He doesn't want to marry Maria, he loves Rosalia but he is being forced to marry Maria anyway. Baby john is innocent and sweet, a superhero loving nerdy kid who has been thrown into a war, and deep down he knows he doesnt want to be there. Finally Tony and Maria. They had what could have been real love. It wasn't, but it could have been. They are separated and unable to be together because of this twisted world around them. Maria is going to be forced to marry a man that she doesn't love and who doesn't love her either. They end up lost and terrified, driving them to run away but the world gets in the way. the breaking point when tony dies, and Maria is left alone with no one to escape her drowning destiny. This song is about a place, maybe just somewhere there has to be a place where they can all live without war and live with content.This song is the tune of hope that there is such a place, the dream that such a place exists. It moves me to tears to see these broken children in the dark place they are, longing to be free.

I appreciated the film "West Side Story " the singer Matt Monroe and delighted to hear the Mormon Tabernacle choir sing the song "Somewhere " and accompanied by the Temple Orchestra.
Wonderful singing.
Stunning. Pray for Bobbi Kristina, a child of God who needs prayer and redemption through our Lord.
