I'm going to make it my life's work to save up and go to attend this college. Even if I have to go at 50 I don't care I'm going to this college.

For all you people being so critical, let's remember that these are "members of the community", not a professional, trained choir. Apparently they just drop by and sing this every week. Give them a break.

Great joy to see these young people love this music !

I graduated in 2015, and I don't mind saying that I cried when I saw this. Recognized quite a few faces - you're all amazing!

Just went down a rabbit hole after hearing Palestrina on the choral hour (WBJC Baltimore) and came across this lovely video. So beautiful. The acoustics of the pendulum pit are fantastic. Keep it up, johnnies!

It just makes me smile to know that such is going on in this world. A very nice version too.

Look in each others eyes when you sing :) As the deer longs for the water, so does my soul long for you, o God

so beautiful performance!

Beautiful and moving. Love the passion.

...yes, for the people by the people. Well done, it is lovely.

Oh. And in the Pendulum Pit! Just... So much..YES

Fantastici esecuzione perfetta musica celestiale coro meraviglioso braviiiiiiiiiiii.

Wooow, very impressive, wonderful and with passion, thanks a lot!

So nice to see, that despite all the intelligence service-style mind control, they still attend to the things that count at my old college...

Beautiful!

Thank you. This piece is a true gem. What a treat for the students to sing this every week. How fantastic for them. Wish I had had the opportunity for such an experience at college.

Muito lindo 🤩 Parabéns a todos💕

Makes the little ball of ice where my heart should be warm up. How I miss St. John's. I should add, though, that I miss Mr. May reminding you of assonance and diction.

oh my, so much to work on!

How did this guy think this up? So beautiful. Despite its informal setting, this has become my favorite "go-to" rendition of this piece when listening to it. For one thing, it's not awash in the ambience/reverb of a large hall with difficult miking. You can sort of tell what's going on better with things being more up front and localized. Sure, you could pick this apart from an overly-technical perspective (much more than I'd be prone to do), but I'm just looking at the overall experience. For example, I'd probably speed it up just a tad, but I'd much rather have it a little slow than too fast. Too fast for this piece is a deal killer, and most folks tend to do it too fast. The dude at 2:19 has the right idea. He's not thinking this through, he's feeling it through. And you can strap on all the tuxes and dresses in the world, but you're not going to sing that gorgeous cascading soprano (into alto) line any better than they do here. That's one of the advantages of doing it slower rather than faster - it gives time to be more reflective and dynamic with the phrasing. And, oh yeah - speaking of gorgeous, that blond at 1:19 is amazing. Talk about a natural beauty. Love this - thanks for posting.

Better an imperfect version of this than a perfect version of many others.

tell my brother Jacob I say hi! he's the blurry one with the red hair and yellow shirt :-)

Can I get some Non Nobis or some Summer is...Sing Cooko?! So, AWESOME!

Watching in Hong Kong.

"Wie der Hirsch verlangt nach Wasserquellen, so verlangt meine Seele nach Dir, o Gott. Meine Seele dürstet nach dem lebendigen Gott; wann darf ich kommen und vor dem Angesicht Gottes erscheinen? Meine Tränen sind mir Brot bei Tag und Nacht, da man mir täglich sagt: Wo ist dein Gott?" (Übersetzung aus dem Volksmissale von P. Martin Ramm FSSP, 2015)

This is beautiful

Y'know what? It's true, they have a lot more work to do to get this piece into shape. But y'know what I see? Lots and lots of potential. As a member of an all-volunteer choir that blows people away on this piece every year, I know full well what's feasible if you're willing to put in the time and effort. They have the potential to deliver a truly awesome performance. It's simply a question of how much they're willing to invest toward that goal.

This is slightly too slow of a tempo. Beautiful though. I had this sung at my Nuptial Mass.

Molto bene

Great, but the Italian kids own this music...

Over all it was very nice. But there are a few thing that could be worked on! When a section starts they need to start at the same time and on the same note, the sopranos were a little sharpe as well as the tenors, the altos need to blend with the sopranos a little better, the bass we're going a little flat to. When the sopranos come in they should try coming in a little softer t is much easier to starts on the right not the Build it up actually that's the same for all sections.

Is that arm-wawing supposed to be considered conducting?

SO, ummm, it's not in A flat...

Schifo

Ew.

Amateur hour. Appalling. Flat and dead. For a better American version, check out the St. Olaf in New Mexico. Even better, Collegium Musicum from Italy.Beautiful tone.

Amazingly awful.
