Thank you so much for this beautiful rendition of the song Tom Fettke and I wrote! Loved it so much! ❤️

That passing chord the pianist did at 0:22 was EVERYTHING!!!!!!!! Well done Oakwood U!!!!!!

It was staggered. We each held as long as we could and took breaths at different times so it sounded like it was being held straight through :)

I've heard several interpretations of this Tom Fettke piece based on Psalm 8. There's something special about the way these young musicians convey a powerful message. I'm left breathless after they've sung the last "Hallelujah." Such amazing musical talent!!

Incredible. As far as I'm concerned this should be the "gold standard" for performing this powerful song. They just nailed it!

I thought I had made a comment the other day, but I just want to say that this is not a performance. It's a prayer, prayed by the singers. Perfect dynamics, absolutely perfect.

Absolutely stunning declamation and phrasing. Bravissimi!

Beautiful harmonic textures. Possibly the best rendition yet on KZfaq. Soli Deo Gloria

One of the most celebrated choral anthems to come about in probably the last century receives a world class treatment here. I do not believe that I have heard better!

This is the most moving, artful, and elegant rendition of this piece I've ever heard, and I've heard a lot of renditions It's so good I doubt it can ever be topped. My hat off to the Aeolians and their masterful director.

Little children praise you perfectly, and so would we. This praise is perfect indeed.

I LOVE this arrangement anyway, but the way this choir sang it, OMG!!!!! This is fabulous!!!

This is gorgeous particularly in the diction, the legato in the soprano line AND the contrasts in the sections. Really gorgeous.

Deep emotion, intense feeling, exalted emotion. Based on Psalms 8 it just plays upon the keyboard of the human soul with all the stops pulled out. Just marvelous! Beautifully sung.

This Choir and their conductor have made this my favorite song of all time in my life. I have shared it with all of my friends over the years. Thank you All.

Probably half the views are by me, because this is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL HYMN PERFORMANCE EVER!

Their enunciation is impeccable!

Serene..i really dont get people who dislike such music, which by the way is for the glory of God alone.. may He have mercy.

I think this is the very best rendition of this piece i've ever heard..!! I really love your performance..!! Great singers and brilliant conductor...!! Solideo Gloria..! God bless you all..!!

The middle section of the song...mannnnn chillssssss..

the most beautifull version i ever heard a so good choir and conductor. Glory to God.

Oh My God! The passion of the directors ,the discipline and gifting of the singers brings me to tears! I listen every night before and after pray. God wii certainly bless you as you ministering songs.

My favourite rendition of this piece, and the conductors control leading into the second phase is incredible!

GLORIOUS! This takes me to a special place.

Thank you for this awesome performance. In my humble opinion, this is the best interpretation of the song.Highly musical, poignant and most of all, prayerful. The Lord be praised for all of you.

I have heard this song many times, but I LOVE this choir's interpretation. Thank you so much. I feel like being lifted up to heaven! Allelujah to the Almighty!

this is the most magnificent rendition of this song I have ever heard.

Thank you Jason Max Ferdinand for reminding me of the profound beauty of this classic offering of worship and thank you Aeolians for also showing us all how to savor every phrase. Bravo and glory to God!

Best. Rendition. Ever. :)

The BEST presentation of this musical selection. Clear diction and beautiful tone quality. The facial and body expressions of the performers exuded total praise and worship. The director, pianist, and singers are second to none of any college choral group in the United States!

Have performed and conducted this masterpiece many times. This choir’s performance is the most musical of any I have ever experienced. Glory!

Words can't express how refreshing & inspiring it is to hear & see these young people praising our God! This is the most beautiful and touching version of this song I've ever witnessed, and I just want to listen over and over. God bless each and every person who is a part of this gorgeous performance.

I believe another commenter said this; however, I want to reiterate that this is more than a performance, it's a worship ministry. The anthem itself is so musically and lyrically well put together that it's difficult not to say it's a beautiful song regardless of who sings (performs) it. These young people, under the direction of Dr. Ferdinand with beautiful and power piano and organ accompaniment, took this piece to another level...a level of worship and praise.

What a beautiful, heartfelt rendition...brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for the blessing!

I have performed this song for years with at concerts and performances but have never cried. This was absolutely beautiful. HALLELUJAH!!! GLORY TO GOD!!!

Just found this today. Tears of joy! What an absolutely breathtaking rendition of this amazing piece of music. Thank you!! Loved it!

Wow. This brought tears to my eyes. SO beautiful! Thank you.

I listen to this about once per week especially Friday evening as Sabbath begins. It's so beautifully done. Our choir sings it and sure wish we had some of these young people's voices. Outstanding and a blessing. God bless.

Note what the person who WROTE the song with Fettke says - Linda Johnson 1 year ago Thank you so much for this beautiful rendition of the song Tom Fettke and I wrote! Loved it so much! ❤️

One of my favorite versions… love it so much. Glory to God!

Still my favourite song on KZfaq. Beautiful.

I’m still listening I just can’t hear this enough🙏🌸🌺

not to mention their transition between phrases. God bless those sopranos. This is what artful singing and performance is all about. my comment in ine word. Hallelujah.

The best I’ve heard of this song 🙏

I think that in every single time when people raise their voices in praise to the Lord like you guys did, The angels sit quiet listening the beauty that results from hearts compromissed in to do their best! It's a pleasure and honor be able to hear that and to have the opportunity to feel God close to me listening you guys singing! It was clear in each face of you the compromise and respect. May God Bless you all. Greetings from a brazilian baptist.

I am obsessed with this song... 😭😭😭🙌🏾

I have watched this many times and it still moves me to tears. Most beautiful rendition of this piece I’ve ever heard .

This is one of the best choir anthems ever! I Love it!

There is no doubt that there is talent in this performance. Magnificent conductor and the vocal quality and harmony is the best. All for the Glory of God!

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing this masterpiece!

Beautiful rendition ! Praise God!

Thank you!! This is one of the most beautiful renditions of our song I’ve ever heard!! I’m sure Tom Fettke would join me in thanking you and praising God for you!!

Praises. Without a doubt my favorite choral song I ever sang in High School. This rendition makes me wonder if this is what angels sound like in heaven. Simply AMAZING 8 part.

Magnificent. Truly anointed. God was there.

this is truly a wonderful performance of an amazing composition. this piece forever changed my perception of choral singing, standing in the front row as first tenor, hearing and feeling this multitude of voices surrounding me...

Bravo! Iam in awe .. i can imagine how it will be in heaven...hallelujah!

Wow, wow, wow! This rendition is truly spectacular! The shaping of phrasing is certainly magnificent! No signs at all of the breaking up of music sentences, tone colours were exquisite and there was never any show of unclear diction and unmusical dynamic shapes. I can only applaud you all for the brilliant work! God Bless America from a friend in the UK

ahh good times..i miss this so much

I could listen to this over & over, forever! I do, and will! These kids are amAzing. Seem to love the Lord.

This is true worship. Lord you're majestic. Blessings to all singers.

I miss singing with them so much!!! This was actually the first year that I was in the Aeolians. :)

Beautiful and moving rendition of the wonderful classic piece. THANK YOU!!

Thanks so much! God blessed and was with us. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did! :)

I have never heard of them before but am very impressed!! This is stunningly beautiful. May God bless each one involved for their beautiful praise!
