    I love the interaction between the singers, something we do a lot with our singers, too. Very expressive! Beautiful!

    I sang this with Elizabeth and Melanie at our classical recital at NOCCA over 20 years ago. I was the second soprano, and I remember my part by heart after all these years.

      Same here! I sang with two ladies in a contest in 1991. Oh how time flies.......I had the Soprano 1 and still know the entire part. I probably sound silly singing it with headphones in the living room.......

      I sang it in 1984 as alto…I can still sing my part, all the notes and the words. Love it!

    Absolutely stunning! I performed this piece as part of a sextet in 2006 (I was one of two first sopranos), and due to health problems, I am no longer able to perform. This brought tears to my eyes. Thank you!!

    Beautiful! Thank you. I had the honor of singing in the chorus for Elijah years ago, and it was one of my favorite things I've ever sung. Mendelssohn is wonderful. You ladies did a lovely job.

    I've listened to this soooo many times. It is really beautiful! Your voices blend very well together, the flow is amazing and the acoustics just gives it a more sweeter sound and texture. Kelsey, you're pitching is on point! Best alto I've heard in quite a while! Keep up the good work ladies! :)

    I’m the alto in my trio & hearing how the parts fit together is critical for me in learning my part. You’ve helped me tremendously! Your blend is gorgeous & individually your voices are so beautiful. I subscribed since we are only learning a capella music right now & we can always use inspiration. Thank You!

    Lovely vowels and clear diction, purity of sound and the blending achieved is also excellent, I would like to see more control as I find the constant movement of heads rather distracting and unnecessary...however it is a lovely performance .

    Hey guys, you performed this piece beautifully! I need some help with a choir project. We need to find a modern song that has similar "elements" to this one. Any songs or elements anyone can think of?

    A lovely rendition. But it would have been great comedy timing if, half way through the piece, a man in a brown overall had entered stage left and interrupted "Sorry Ladies, but I just need to shift this piano." and pushed it off stage right.
