I don't think you guys understand just how beautiful your music is. It is one thing for a composer to put music on paper, but it's another to make that music come alive - and that only comes when it is sung from the heart. You guys are phenomenal in every sense of the word. Every performance you guys give is inspiring, moving, and breathtaking. This is truly a special group. One day I will have my own choir, and my hope is that they are half as incredible as you guys are!
Mitchell Moore I've been a member of the choir since 2013 (I was a member when we sang this) and I just want to thank you for your lovely comment on behalf of the choir. It always makes me happy when people are moved by the music we sing and our conductor (Andre van der Merwe) always emphasises to us how we shouldn't just sing, but actually feel the words we are singing. Thank you again!
A beautiful composition, based on the text of the English Father of the Oratory, John Henry Newman. His "Fragrance Prayer", so beloved of Blessed (Mother) Teresa of Calcutta. Dear Jesus, help me to spread Your fragrance everywhere I go. Flood my soul with Your spirit and life. Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly, That my life may only be a radiance of Yours. Shine through me, and be so in me That every soul I come in contact with May feel Your presence in my soul. Let them look up and see no longer me, but only Jesus! Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as You shine, So to shine as to be a light to others; The light, O Jesus will be all from You; none of it will be mine; It will be you, shining on others through me. Let me thus praise You the way You love best, by shining on those around me. Let me preach You without preaching, not by words but by my example, By the catching force of the sympathetic influence of what I do, The evident fullness of the love my heart bears to You.
moes net weer kommentaar lewer die afgelope maand gaan daar nie 'n aand verby date ek nie na hierdie sangstuk luister nie dankie Stellenbosch Uni koor dit bring vrede in my hart
Stunning performance! What a sound! (My audio is cutting out at 3:48, just into what I'm assuming is the last chord. Is it on the video, or is there an internet gremlin of some description?)

Thakasile Shozi You are such a wonderful representation of everything that is good in our choir
+Tanica Theys do you know who is in charge of these videos? because the ending of this one is cut short :( :( 3:48
Absolutely agree.. there were so many nuances that most choirs don't pay attention to or aspire to include.
bravo
close your eyes and listen to this

Dear Jesus, help me to spread Your fragrance everywhere I go.
Flood my soul with Your spirit and life.
Penetrate and possess my whole being so utterly,
That my life may only be a radiance of Yours.
Shine through me, and be so in me
That every soul I come in contact with
May feel Your presence in my soul.
Let them look up and see no longer me, but only Jesus!
Stay with me and then I shall begin to shine as You shine,
So to shine as to be a light to others;
The light, O Jesus will be all from You; none of it will be mine;
It will be you, shining on others through me.
Let me thus praise You the way You love best, by shining on those around me.
Let me preach You without preaching, not by words but by my example,
By the catching force of the sympathetic influence of what I do,
The evident fullness of the love my heart bears to You.
Michael Theron Thanks for sharing the words - so uplifting when feeling down - angelic
