I am singing this song for all state choir and just the thought of me being able to perform such a song is such a life changer thank you for writing such a beautiful song (about soup)😂
Yes I do get this excited about soup and, after performing this with my all state choir senior year, it was a lot of fun walking to the local chickfila as a vast ocean of soup and music lovers
I really loved this piece. I got to sing this in our school's choir. I love how all our voices mingled into a growing chorus up to the climax. Loved every second of it. I appreciate that this piece was made.
We sure did love it and we sure did do a good job singing it (we go to the same school and sang the song) but thank you for doing a good job on the song Sydney.❤

I absolutely LOVE this song! I can never get enough of it. My school choir is singing it this year and I had to go ahead of the class because I couldn't stand not knowing all of it. This is by far my favorite choir song.
Wow! That’s really awesome to know! Thanks for taking the time to let me know. It’s encouraging that’s for sure! Which part do you sing, and which school?
Florida All State 2020. Had an absolutely wonderful time, best choir event I've ever had, one of the best moments in my life. Best 18th birthday I could ask for. Sydney, if you read this, thank you so much for making this! It brought so much unity and joy to us all, and I'm sure it has for all the others. We figured out how to sing measure 130, don't worry, your call helped us out :)
Nutik Wulf Aw!! Happy birthday!! And thank you for letting me know. I got to see a little clip of the choir having a blast singing it during rehearsal - it was awesome! You guys rock!!
Whenever I hear this song, I always describe it as a rainbow. It's just such a colorful piece of joy and celebration. I first sang this at a Florida All-State, and it always brightens up my day whenever I hear it!!
My school did this sophomore year and got our first 1 at our district music contest in a hot minute and this song was easily our favorite. Junior year, our seniors ahead of us who had grown up with our choir director from their freshman year were graduating and on one of their last days while we cleaned up/prepared music for other concerts, we broke out into Tchaka, almost without his direction, and sang it pretty well for not singing it for a whole year at that time. For the next two years, whoever was a part of the ensemble that sang Tchaka, we at least sang up to part G I believe at any given time. 😂😭 take me back!
I've sang this master pieces on several different occasion and I can say honestly every time I sing it I fall in love with it over and over again! This is a amazing piece and I just want to say thank you for bringing this into the world! The message is Strong and I love how something so simple as soup can bring people together in love and unity. Thank you for this.
working on this song again, but as a percussionist instead of a vocalist this time, since i last did it in 2019/2020!! i also made tchaka for my choir and you to try, & it was truly one of the most memorable (and delicious) experiences i’ve had in choir :)
@@sydneyguillaume I personally enjoy singing the part around 1:35 "mi zik sa yo" part, I am singing this for Texas all state choir and my audition for state is this Saturday, the previous rounds judges said this was my best song
I sang this in 2019 for Villa Park High School's Madrigals choir. I still remember when you came and visited our class and talked to us about our performance. Thank you for making such an amazing communal piece of music, and thank you so much for making it so much gosh dang fun to sing!
Hey Sydney, my name is Keith Sheppard. I just wanted to thank you for this piece! I am a tenor 2 in the PHS A Capella Choir, and this was the highlight of the competition for us. I remember that when we practiced it in class Mrs. McClain would put on a really cool beat (to keep tempo) and we'd dance to it while singing. Sometimes we'd be too busy dancing to actually focus on pure vowels and the likes lol. This was an awesome song to perform, and I wanted to commend you and your father for composing it. God bless!
As a sophomore in high school, I had the privilege of being conducted by Mr. Guillaume at SCSU's Big Sing event in 2020, which ended up being the last choir I sang in right before the pandemic. This year, as a freshman in college, I decided to join a choir again, and was rightfully excited to learn we would be singing Tchaka. I should go to bed since it's past midnight, but that technically means we're performing this song today! I'm so excited! Thanks for making your music that is groovy with a good message!
I remember that Big Sing event very well - it was also one of my last pre-pandemic concerts which I cherished very much! Have a meaningful performance today!!
It’s been over a year since I’ve sang this at ILMEA and I still come back to it so often, I even wrote my final analysis on this piece for my final semester in high school. This piece is truly special.
I'm part of the Robinson Singers in Virginia and we are performing this song later on in the year and it is easily the most challenging song I have ever had to learn but it is my favorite
This recording is sang by my school’s rival school! I go to san juan hills and we got to work with you last year and it was awesome! We just heard it at a festival and we all miss it!
I had to sing this as one of my all state audition songs last year and in the middle of this song, my music stand fell over and I got disqualified and I was so upset because Tchaka was my favorite piece out of all our songs and I didn't get to sing it :(
I am singing this song for all state choir and just the thought of me being able to perform such a song is such a life changer thank you for writing such a beautiful song (about soup)😂
I just graduated and I learned that this is gonna be a Texas all state piece. HUHHH WHYYY THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN SO FUN TO LEARN. I’m jealous
I hope you will get the opportunity to sing it with another choir!
Why is this litterally THE BEST CHOIR SONG EVER! So much emotion swimming in the different complex harmonies and rhythms!!!!!
Because it's AYISYEN ❤❤🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
Yes I do get this excited about soup and, after performing this with my all state choir senior year, it was a lot of fun walking to the local chickfila as a vast ocean of soup and music lovers
singing this in a choir is an experience larger than life itself
Singing in a big choir in general is in general
For real
I was part of the Nebraska all-state choir that sang this and this was easily the best song I've ever sang in my life.
DIEHARD_100 I second that. I was in it along with you!
It's so awesome to hear that! You guys were so great to work with.
I'm singing it in two months in the Illinois all-state choir and you're making me really excited!

Noooooo. I spent my blood sweat and tears into this difficult peace of work, just to find out. They're singing about soup. >:(

In addition it seems the whole part before 3:53 was sort of preparing the path for the final glory, so great. It was composed this way on purpose!
sang this this morning at all-state!!! by far the most fun piece in the set
Aw! Can’t wait to hear it! :)
