Jordan your story made me cry so much!!

So wonderful! Just to know there are young men and boys like this STILL here in the U.S.A. Gives me hope and faith in a beautiful, God-loving future for our Blessed country. God Bless us ALL!

Dang, make a man cry! This was absolutely wonderful.

Wonderful arrangement! Jordan, thanks for sharing the story of your grandparents. I had a similar experience when my mother passed away in 2014. My dad leaned over and kissed her on the lips and said 'I love you'. My sister and I were closing the lid and he stopped us about 3/4 of the way and took one last look and said 'Good bye'. His 'good bye' was also like 'good night'.Everyone was crying by this point. I will never forgot that experience.

I love Holst's "Jupiter!" Brilliant. We sang it when I was at BYU years ago. I had to e-mail this to my kids (both the original and the "making of"). Gorgeous.

This story is that and so very much more. I peel away the layers and think of being in the world and wanting with all of my heart to return to my Heavenly Father's presence again. Beautiful arrangement, performance, and videography. Thank you.

Thank you Jorden for sharing the memories of your grandpa. It brings joy to my heart every time I hear this song. Thanks to you and the rest of your talented boys choir. Yes, I believe we will see them all again. God Bless

I first heard this piece done by the impeccable Mormon Tabernacle Choir, but This interpretation struck me as exceptional. It made me think about how previous generations would have sung it and why. My first thought was of the 7th or 8th century in Europe which I had been studying at the time.

I love, love, love the collaboration with The All-American Boys Chorus!!! Bravo - VERY nice work, thank you.

You all did such an amazing job with this song! The story of Jordan's grandparents really hit me hard. Both my grandparents passed away just a little over a year ago and I miss them both with all my heart. And just like Jordan, when I first heard this song, I immediately thought of them as well. Once again, amazing job! Keep up the amazing work you all do!

very inspiring and love that you boys literally put your thoughts and emotions toward the arrangement, it makes the song ten times better! props to mckay for killing the arrangement and jordan for making the solo sound as good as possible. literally obsessed!! come to savannah ga sometime haha...

Everytime I listen to this song with son it always makes me cry.. I remember my grandpa

Jupiter is one of my favorite themes, and mixed with such a powerful song is utter perfection. Thank you BYU Vocal Point

When I heard the first 30 seconds of the original video I knew I heard it from some classical song. It bugged me for hours. I hummed it for several hours until I tried to play in the keyboard on and on the third note I realized that was from The Planets from Holst. The first time I heard it was on the soundtrack of the game Gran Turismo played in the piano by Lang Lang. The suite has another interesting story. Recently when Pluto was demoted new records do not include Pluto anymore. This again bugged me and I researched and found that the original suite was created before Pluto was discovered and that Holst son in law wrote it after Pluto was discovered.

So good. Please keep singing with the all American boys. So nice

I didn't think you all could top your "Nearer My God To Thee" but this is in a special class all of its own. It is one of the most wonderful videos and song recordings of its type I have ever seen. I lost my parents last year and I cried & cried for the first time. The boys choir and the voice of yhe older solist are just part of what makes this such a moving experience. To all of you that contributed, thank you.

I'm sorry for the loss of your parents. I can't imagine. May peace be in your heart knowing you will be together again.

Oh my gosh, the tears will not stop flowing -- this is just so good!! Thank you! Shared the song on my FB page!

This was beautiful. The spiritual journey is a very important one and hearing this from your singers was wonderful. Thank you all for the heartfelt love you put through this song.

i love this song even more now !!! its so amazing maybe i should ask for it to be played at my funeral in about 80 years

Holst's suite, The Planets, is also my favorite! Amazing arrangement!

i only listened to that song like a million times.

You guys should totally do Homeland or Pater Noster. You would totally rock it. They're both amazing songs

This behind the scenes is awesome

I thought this was really cool to see how the whole process worked! You guys make the most amazing music and it always lifts my spirits!

I love how real and authentic this is. Also, seeing the behind-the-scenes is awesome. :)

I knew Jupiter melody was there!!❤️

I can't really put it into words... but I think you understand :)

I watched to movie and it made me cry!

Your grandmother and grandfather looked like a beautiful couple.

awesome

LOVE IT

chorei muito ouvindo sua história.´parabéns!!!

Jupiter sample. Excellent

Inspired!

The spirit of this folk song, may have been what it was like when we left Our Father in Heaven to be born on earth, only then we knew that "Somehow" = Jesus Christ. Today, we walk by faith, but will return to Him someday. Beautiful.

I hope you can make a video for Allegheny too. I love that song.

damn i just wanted to know how they made the rest of the group appear behind the soloist in the first scene

Well, it went something like this: The eight of us memorized the positions we had to end up in. As the camera started rolling on Jordan (the soloist), we followed behind it in as tight of a clump as we could form. When the camera was pointed at Jordan's back, we all hustled to our positions just in time for the camera to swing around and reveal all of us standing there. :)

muito bom!!

Thank you.

Is there any way I can get your arrangement of this song? I love it!

Where was this filmed? It looks like somewhere in the north florida or coastal southeastern US? Live Oak trees and Palmetto!

The movie

The boys' accents and red coats keep making me think they must be British, but they're the ALL-AMERICAN Boys Chorus. Maybe they're British-American, or maybe that's just how they're taught to sing...? Good job everyone!

Where was this filmed? We would really like to know!

Is the score to this arrangement available to buy?

do Oh Sweet Chariot

Do you try to imitate Sir Tim Rhys-Evans MBE's Only Boys Aloud (www.aloud.cymru/boys/)?

My grandpa😢

Is that Lars Lindstrom in that crew????

Sure is! He's an outstanding cinematographer and we were lucky to work with him!
