It occurs to me that the structure of this song is a symbolic replaying of the battle itself. We get seven stanzas--representing the seven days of the battle--and then we get that incredible high note representing the blowing of the trumpets. Finally, the notes descend on "down," as if the notes are the walls of the city. We're listening to the battle!

And you're named Joshua. Not sure if it's merely coincidence...

This arrangement is no joke. We did this in a 50 person choir in high school and I had the pleasure of doing the descant “war cry” over the basses. It is tough and so beautiful. The energy at the end of the song is electric

my choir did this version of the song in HS and it was enchanting hearing the different parts come together in perfect synchrony, I love that about music

That is the biggest organ I have seen in my entire life

+Maclean Samis Well, it depends on how you define the size of an organ. The tabernacle has more physical stops/pipes, but I believe the conference center organ has more if you add in the stops that are not played with physical pipes.

As a bass 2, this is a really fun song to sing!

The song itself is a battle.

Morpyoto i dont think its a matter of chords i think that for this song to sound good you need some very skilled and well trained tenors which are almost non existent at the high school level

Yeah, the organization of it and the soprano belt is meant to to imitate battle cries

I sang this piece once with a 200 person choir, as a bass 2. The feeling at the end of this song was electric, and the woman who did the warcry after the repeat could be heard in the middle of the bass section over all of us. Its truly an incredible ending.

That was a literal Masterpiece and that woman at the end slayed

The woman at 1:42 has amazing vocal chords. I applaud you madam.

My sister was singing the Japanese version of "Joshua Fit the Battle" when she was in the second year of junior high school. For me, who thought that piano accompaniment was an integral part of the chorus, "The Battle of Jericho" was quite shocking. Amazing.

We had the honor of performing this in high school with Moses Hogan. One of the most memorable events of my life.

I have never had the PLEASURE of listening to this song before today, November 11, 2015. I LOVE this song. What spirit! WELL DONE. MOST RESPECTFULLY, Martha

This was my favorite song we did in choir!

Moses Hogan was the man. My favorite Chorale composer of all-time

We did this in my junior year..took this to state competition . I loved performing this , the audience adored it every time

my school is singing this and so far it sounds fantastic but this is on an entirely new level!

The tenor part is so great and they way they isolate the basses are so perfect

I love this song so much, I sung it in my choir consert it was such a fun piece

I love this choir too much

im so happy i chose this path in life ive never been in school without a choir class I love to sing

LOVE this!! My favorite song to sing in my high school choir :-)

Beautiful!!! I feel the Spirit in here!!! Glory to God!!! Amein, Amein and Amein!!

1:20 was and is still my favorite part of this song, performing it was magical

Wow! I got goosebumps this is incredible!

love the Mormon Tabernacle Choir - one of the greatest choirs in the world - what a treat that you share it with the world - Very grateful, Thank you

I sang this exact same arrangement last year. I still love this song.

My mother directed the Male Chorus at our church, and she would have LOVED to hear these guys sing their part in this performance. A capella too? Oh yes, Honey. by ALL means!!!!!!!!!!

THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!! it's making me tear up.

I sang this song in 7th grade choir and I not only had to sing 3 different parts but I had to sing with the men as well because our choir didn't have enough boys

I actually heard this arrangement on the radio and I was like, I have got to find it😳. And here it is on KZread❤❤

I love this choir.

I get so many chills listening to this

I have to sing this for choir! And man this choir is huge!

Goosebumps. That was dope. God bless you.

That was perfection!!!!!!

We are singing this in my 7th grade choir along with simple gifts.

this is perfect for the come follow me readings for this week!

🤩 wow their voices are projected so well

Wow... Simply amazing

I first heard this when I was 7 when the senior choir of my choral organisation sung this still remember this song

wanderfull... I'm amazed with so great choir

that's awesome especially the bass

I heard this song in the choir coral festival a month ago, one highschool performed this and gosh it was the best performance out of the other schools who came

i've watched this so many times

I just discovered that my school's choir did this the year before I joined. I might see what my director thinks about letting me conduct it next year. I've recently found an interest in trying and conducting a song during a future concert and I think I finally found the song I want to try.

Faith is the virtue by which, clinging to the faithfulness of God, we lean upon him, so that we may obtain what he gives to us

One of the choirs that i adore! :D

Que lindo!! Maravilhoso!!

All I can say is WOW!!! Love this!! Thanks for sharing!

Lind e maravilhosa esta apresentação!

Beautiful!

love that energy ..... excellent.

This is greatness ! The soloist is awesome !

Beautiful

God bless those tenors at the end

This sounds incredibly good!

As a middle schooler who is doing this song as a first time chorus student-very difficult😭

I’m surprised your choral instructor would have you performing such a piece. I’m doing this at the advanced choir for my high school.

Well done I say! I like how musical this song is.

Sometimes I'll listen to something I sang in high school choir and I'm amazed we were able to even do it. Obviously not this well but darn, it's a difficult piece.

WONDERFUL

Did this my senior year 💜

OMG, the Soprani high note is wow.

this is amazing!!!!

I love 😍 this choir

This is just the coolest ever.

Great Song!

I think the only thing that would make this version better is if the choir hit the "T" harder each time. This song doesn't quite feel right without really hard emphasis on the T.

@janelles9312

Steve Jenkins you're right. If you choose "the," it's a hard "t" in "battle" or "water."

@davidhensley76

Do you mean the "tt" in the middle of "battle"? In spirituals the "t" is softened, to make the performance sound more authentic.

My 7/8th grade choir is doing this song. I'm in 7th grade and we're capable of doing this. I've never really thought about that! Good job choir!!!

Amazing

I'm amazed, this choir is beautiful. I get goosebumps listening to them sing.

wowwww!!! I love this. OMG

fantastic!!!

Sang this in college back in 1999 and I did the high solo at the end a week after having my wisdom teeth surgically removed. I wish I could still hit notes like that.

SUPERB!! VERY UPLIFTING INDEED!! THANKS FOR THE POSTING.

This shit gives me the chills every time I listen to it

AWESOME!!!!!!!

Very, very impressive.

My favorite song I sung in Choir in school

LOVE IT

Ahhh perfection..

Fantastic

Love this one! Great sound Has my hairs standing on end at the back of my neck!

They did that!

Awesome!

Came here for the song, going to be looking into hearing those pipes in the backdround! those are some serious organ pipes!

Sublime interpretation

Having performed this with a choirmaster whom worked with gentleman who arranged this, I decree that yes, this song is massive! I loved that this choir paid attention to dynamic markings. The only thing I noticed was this; Mr Hogan wanted particular attention paid to and the word “Battle” with accents on the T’s in “baTTle”. Sometimes I hear choirs pronounce this as “Baddle” instead of “BaTTle”. I’m also ok with the tempo being a tad slower than written because the audience has a chance to appreciate the complex chords and counter melody.
