Paul and I have seen many performances of "Ain't No Grave." There are several very good ones out there. This one takes the cake. The piece was always intended to be performed with ASL. Bravo to the MSU Singers, Dr. Heather Buchanan, Steven Ryan, and Gabriella Natale. You nailed it.

Dudeeee the opera singer in there though

I'm doing this song with the all-female choir at my school. It's really cool to hear an SATB arrangement of it, especially at a university in the same state. Our choir went to a workshop at Montclair.

singing bass in this song is so fun, especially if you really just let yourself feel the music

i loved this song when i sang it in choir it has so many parts and cords gives you goosebumps evrytime. i sang tenor and baritone best parts imo

We are singing this for our high school choir, and this gave me chills. Fantastic job!!

This is absolutely remarkable. Oh my. Talk about a choral experience taht engages the listener! Congratulations!

I wish I heard more of the alto part :( it’s so soprano heavy which is annoying because the other parts add the seasoning to the piece

Yo sopranos quiet down I want to hear the rest

God bless y'all, Jesus loves y'all! This is so good! I cannot listen to the song without thinking of the sign language added to the lyrics. Also, good job to the interpreter! She did a fantastic job! You all did! Please, continue singing praises to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit

Doing this song for Area All State... it’s such a good song.

A superb performance! Thank you!

Omg bro I just remember that they preformed at the high school I go to now when I was like in third grade😂 me and my friends thought they were the coolest high schoolers ever lol

Very nice just heard this song playing at the end of the most recent episode of what we do in the shadows TV show.

the small vocal choir for my highschool sang this while i was still in middle school. still my favorite choral song and i wish i could sing it in a choir

The ASL interpreter was really getting into it

Wow that legit made me cry. 🙌🙌🙌🙌 so good!! Feeling victorious✨

Bravo!

My high school choir won a competition with this song. we did so well the judges had nothing bad to say about us when they tore the other choirs apart.

BEAUTIFUL INSPIRATION

Thanks mr Pete for the bop

Outstanding. Gave me chills. Can’t wait to sing this!

This was was one of my favorite songs I have ever said in choir!

Anyone here because they're practicing for all region? Just me? Lmao ok

I’ve listened to this recording so many times but I still can’t find the soprano 2 part XD can someone help me?

Ain't no grave or man can hold me down or marry me. Now let me proceed to pledge my eternal devotion to god and jesus.

we had to do this song on my senoir year at my school at western mennonite lol

Wow i love their dance moves 😍

4:01 Damn i dont even have that range and I sing both soprano and alto. I do sing in a 7th and 8th grade women's concert choir, and I have the widest vocal range going down the scale.

But I still love this song no matter what

First time I ever heard this song was the BYU women’s chorus....they did it better 😁😇😍

Does anyone know what the sign they are doing for "ain't no" is?

Is the voicing a strict SATB or are there divsi?

What is the meaning? No grave to hold my body down? It is referring to the resurrection, when Jesus Christ comes back to judge the living and the dead. Those who believe in the Lord Jesus will be caught up in the skies with Him and go on to Heaven, those who are still dead in their sins will be resurrected to judgement, and they will be sent into hell for their sins. The thing is, we have all sinned - lying, stealing, lusting, fornicating - and fallen short of the glory of God. We deserve punishment for our crimes against God, but in His mercy and grace, He sent Jesus, His Son, yet God. Jesus Christ died in our place on the cross, for our sins, and He was buried, on the third day He rose again. But by faith we must accept this. Those who have accepted Jesus' gift of eternal life, through His death and resurrection, will now have a hope - forgiveness for their sins by faith in Jesus. As Jesus rose from the grave, so now will we who believe in Him - no grave will hold my body down, but I will resurrect to my Saviour, Jesus Christ, to an eternal life with Him. That is the meaning. But I would say, it is also true. So please think about these things - the grave will not hold your body down either, but your eternity will be in punishment, or in joy with the Saviour.

This group is way out of balance - soprano top-heavy! You can barely hear the male parts because of the imbalance.

Sounds to me like non music majors but an exciting performance, nonetheless

this song belongs to the ministry of darkness

so bad

This is pathetic
