This is by far the cleanest rendition that I've come across since learning this song.

My soul was anchored and still is being anchored in the Lord every day and will never stop as long as I live and pray for all those who need prayer, help, food, and the art of listening without interruption - then add "let's pray together".

As a bass singer, I love the E we hit as a bass solo! It's so powerful!

Damn, they've got some altos.

Can we just acknowledge how great choirs sound when they are memorized??? They actually watch a conductor!

I LOVE THE ALLELUHAH WILL YOU PRAISE HIM PART!!!!

That hit it and quit it soprano note at the end yass

0:32 - Yes BASSES!!!!

The most quintessential arrangement of this song. This Choir Master deserves an award.

Come on guys stop hating. This is real talent

Everyone's a critic. Do not pay heed to the critics. You have a beautiful choir. And to all the haters. If they didn't enjoy singing they would be up there doing so.

Slower tempo than most African American choirs, but just as effective. Rhythms are clearly executed! Wonderful!

The dynamics are what drives this piece so well. Such good blend and intonation. Great director to get them all on the same page here. Great job.

Outstanding rendition of this Moses Hogan classic. The clarity of the diction and the involvement and passion of the singers make these notes jump off the page. Tremendous performance by a top-notch college choir!

You may be a small choir, but the music that you produce from your vocals is beautiful and powerful. We are singing this at the Kimmel Center

I love this so much AHHHH LORD!! You are so powerful

They may look like a mostly pasty white bunch, but they's passion in they voices!

Oh my bass 2 they are so good tenor 2 is also very well done.

A great one by Moses Hogan.

We sang this at the Louisiana state choir competition and won it

Just as I remember singing in the Concordia Choir over 40 years ago!

I miss my choir!

That low bass note at 0:32 😍

If you take it to a speed of 1.25 it's so moving

This is beyond amazing. The blend, the dynamics, the style n approach are all right on point. However, every facial expression is zombie like. All this gorgeous sound and no conviction whatsoever.

The 1st Sopranos hold their last note for 20 counts. :O

I'm not even religious and I can agree that this song is absolutely beautiful ... kudos to this choir who sang it so perfectly!!

Carol Coles Perfection in the most wonderful rendition I have heard in years. We have all types of groups in this day and age. But this type is perfect precision and not easy to do at all - but this is so outstanding that nothing can describe this perfection. Blessings to Concordia Choir..

Amazingly clean rendition

Let's just take a moment to acknowledge that Dr Clausen is just the most oustanding conductor! 30 years I've been conducting choirs and could only dream of this level of technical control and skill. Awesome choral sound also.

I saw this live and it was even more amazing. It's hard to find a recording that does the Concordia Choir justice. One has to see them live to get the full experience. (this is about 90% of the way there)

I don't even think God himself could pull their attention from that director.! This was so clean and crisp. This man literally controlled this choir with his 2 hands....absolutely amazing and spendid. Does it take away a pinch from the soul essence of the piece...slightly....but for this predominantly white choir, this has been AMAZING!

The smallest tenor in the back row in our right is about to dance he's having so much fun. We sang this as a encore after a Sunday afternoon concert at our church years ago. We had the voices to pull it off. It was a complete blast. I think we sang it a little quicker than this.

chills every single time

Please credit the composer... the late Moses Hogan (1957-2003), an amazing person and musician. He has left us a blessed musical legacy.

We as humans as the world stands today, can only pray, forgive, and look up to our God and as for understanding and forgiveness, because our time is very short as the world stands today. Blessings to one and all, Caro Coles, Author

This will forever be one of my favorite pieces of choir music. I only got to sing the TTBB version but this one is great as well.

i'm watching with the music sheets right now, it's more harder to sing it than just hear it. what a song-

Favorite part of the song is the end where the sopranos hold the A and then go up to that C….. chills man.

Not gonna lie, when I clicked the video and saw one person of color in the entire choir and they were singing a Moses hogan piece I was a little skeptical. That just blew my mind. I love this!

THIS is PERFECTION.

ah, the good ol' days when there used to be choirs and choir concerts

I love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love, this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic. One of the better versions.

This song always brings emotional tears to my eyes... beautifully rendered... thanks for sharing

This is beautiful and extremely clean, I just wish we had more soul and maybe stronger consontants

Powerful!!! I love it. I feel the Holy Spirit in this song!!!

Amazing choir and choir director, bravo!

so many memories from school where we did this exact arrangement!!

oh my god i want to sing with this choir.

Absolutely love Concordia!!! Cannot wait until they get back to the Fort Smith Arkansas area again!!! Great job, choir!

goosebumps errwhere

I love how fast this goes and the dynamics that go with it!

Perfect! pitch, tune, harmony..the best of them all! Go MN!

My choir loves doing this song.

Just sang this song with the Concordia choir on their tour. I’m not in the choir, but our high school got to sing with them.

Excellent! He and his Chorale would have been proud!

My 9th and 10th grade choir, and chamber choir is singing this in the spring with our orchestra accompaniment and it is going to sound so powerful with soprano 1 &2 alto tenor and bases. We have so much talent in our class it is very exciting

In a couple days, my choir will be singing this song in the Vatican during communion! Super excited!

Great job! Singing this song!!!!!!!!!

literally only here bc my choir (who also won the madrigal festival this year) sang this as one of their main pieces for a bunch of competitions they did and i’ve absolutely fallen in love with it

Beautiful Job! I remember doing this piece when I was in Concert choir at WHS in Sioux Falls, SD (many years ago)

one of my favorite parts is 2:25. i just think that sounds so awesome. love this song so much

I can remember my director working with us for this rendition ohh what memories

My favourite sounding choir! Wish I could have a choir with such sound one day!

Amen!!! SO GOOD!

amazing rendition. clean runs, pristine dynamics.

I hate to agree, but the only choirs that give me true chills are in constant, yet subtle, motion. That is the music of LIFE.

This sends chills down my spine

Just preformed this song in concordia college. Was an amazing experience. Go soprano 1s!

Gorgeous 😍😍 such a nice blend

This is seriously amazing

Wow they really did that 😍

VERY Well Balanced! LOVED It!!

This is an awesome rendition...speechless!

Very nice!

Well done!!! Wonderful sound.

This is very beautiful

simply briliant rendition

We r singing this for our show choir at school and let me tell ya, this is AMAZING!

Beautiful...

stunning. amazing.... owwwwwooo

moses hogan

This is a fabulous performance.

Love the basses

beautiful, spine tingling ending

wow this is way better than the way we are singing

Amazing! Especially the cadence! :D

A choir who doesn't move but expresses facially I can live with. One that does neither is deadening... It's a happy song damn it! XD

What a great interpretation! Congrads! Greetings from Slovenia :)

awesome!!! chill bumps

CHILLS

I really hope I can meet René Clausen again in the future. He was the conductor for my Honors Choir last year and he was amazing. I admire him endlessly and hope I can tell him that in the future.

its really awesome

O God .. This great song

I hope the performance of this we are going to do will be as clean and in tune as this choir’s performance.

I'm glad the you found the right place for you Patrick. It is always hard to hear something harsh about your beloved alma mater...but then no place or no person is perfect. I appreciate your response.

Love it

still listen in 2020

Lovely 😍😇
