One of the few choirs where all the parts are audible and one part doesn’t overpower another

Absolutely true, I live in eastern S. Dakota and several of the best college choirs in the nation are within easy driving distance of where I live. the Nordic Choir may be the best because they blend like you say, perfectly, and their phrasing is flawless.
honestly the solo made me want to tear up, that was absolutely gorgeous
Lovely choral singing, and the soloist's voice is refreshing.
Beautiful soloist blended harmoniously with a magnificent choir. Thank you for the ministry of music 🎶
When I heard this and then took time to look up the whole text, I thought of Denzel Washington's character in "The Book Of Eli," don't ask me why. For all the violence and unhappiness in that movie, what I really remember is the man with the calling and his determination to find the Road Home for him. Stephen Paulus was a great composer and this is just a wonderful performance.
This was beautiful. Gave me chills.
Every time I hear this piece and sing it I love it more
Wow ❤❤❤

We are singing this at my high school next week. (I’m a senior, and I am going to try out for the solo as well.) If I get the solo, I will let you know.

Update: I completely forgot I made this comment!!! But I did not get the solo, someone else got it. And she did really good! And yes, I did graduate high school this year, and am doing well in life. I chose not to go to college, but I am looking out for a job.
Beautiful...especially the soloist. d

What's this supposed to mean? You're saying the conductor did a great job with this choir and ought to have a better job than this one? Luther has a top-flight vocal music program. That fact is plainly evident in this phenomenal performance, the quality of which is what led to your bizarrely backhanded and contradictory comment.

He already has a great job at Yale! This last year, they had different temp replacements while they were looking for a new conductor. That's all.

Yes, and their new conductor is a Luther alum who sang in this selfsame choir.
