This is the piece that introduced me to Eric Whitacre and his wonderful music. The choir is wonderful and showcases this work well; however, that soprano soloist fell unmistakably 'flat' (she didn't quite get there...she was a poor choice to do the solo). The rest of the piece was performed very well, however.
My favorite part - the Concordia College / Rene Clausen version is worth a listen, he really brings in the base at 'tum' rather than the whole 'Natum' - it makes me cry, I don't know why.
Would love to sing this piece with a great choir.
The dynamics in this performance astound!
Wow!
What a wonderfully differentiated choir. I'm deeply impressed.

Wow those bass II shined through at the end C#2 is hard to sing

WTF, WTH is that FLAT note at 0:59?
0:59 Missed note or it what was intended?
Nik Sharky That threw me off, too. But overall performance was still excellent!
Definitely missed. I've sung this before, that's not what he wrote.
She blew it.
Very very flat... but she kinda recovers it at the end.
Wrong/false for the solo soprano first
Flat note.
What happened? Terrible.
