QUINCEY JONES was a Genius to put this together!! so many legends. i been watching it every now & then since video came out back in the 90's. & it was on VHS. old skool 😊
That's right Daryl; HE'S WORTHY OF ALLLLLL THE GLORY!!! I don't know about the rest of you RUclipsrs, but I just can't stop giving my God the GLORAAAAAAY cause he WOOOOORTHY WORTHY WORTHY!!! I need some help ya'll!!!!
This song reigns in my top 5 gospel songs EVER. I remember as a kid my church choir would EAT THIS SONG ALIVE every time they song it. Didn’t even have to be around Xmas
Freedom School had me singing this song everyday, regardless of it not being a religious afterschool program. I would love to find any of the kids that were in the program with me or even the people who used to run the program. I didn't like this song when we were forced to sing it but I promise it brings so much joy to me now as an adult.
Oh you black Americans. Only you would think to take one of the hardest choir/group songs ever written and make it harder...and so much better. I've done both versions of this song and the amount of breath control and perfect pitch needed to make it sound like this and to perform it with effortless ease is so much more difficult to do than Handel's original version. But boy is it worth it. Kudos to Quincy. Maestro and genius.
Arya's Kill List .. There’s another video floating around with a mixed race youth group all wearing dashikis singing “ Hallelujah “ with a fabulous solo singer and a lady conductor dressed full African with a hat. I hope you find it I can’t because it’s under a different account . It’s a must see, that girl sang her heart out.
I come back NOT only to hear the song but to SEE how many additional faces I recognize! And of course to HEAR Daryl Coley wrap up the “gift of this song” as ONLY Daryl Coley was gifted to do! Gratefully for each singer showing up to record this Masterpiece’!
I love love love this version of the Hallelujah Chorus! Do yourself a favor and get the whole Hansel’s Messiah album. It is amazing! Thank you Quincy Jones RIP
I am part of the choir at Southwestern Community college for music vocation, and we sang this version. We just got back from tour and this song was a big hit with the crowds. I absolutely love this version
Seeing the joy of the singers as they sing this song is really exciting. I don't know if they knew they were creating a classic, but that is what they did.
I have searched and searched for this version of the Hallelujah Chorus for more years than I care to remember. To me, it is hands down the best performance of Handel's composition I can ever hope to hear. Thank you who ever found it and uploaded it. Merry Christmas.
Praise wonderful dear sweet HEAVENLY FATHER through his wonderful dear sweet Son JESUS CHRIST. We sing glory to your name and celebrate you always. This is the best version of this song the artist, harmonies, arrangement, wish I was there.
I have sung the original by Handel and Hellelujah by Quincy jones. I love both. And honestly the African American community has a played a huge impact on music that has influenced my love for music. You can feel the joy and love each person performing has in their singing and playing.
GLORY! THE LORD GOD has done it! I was atheist, but this is my 50th YEAR LOVING JESUS! 💞💞💞 A MIRACLE! Like Peter walking on WATER! 💞🙏🙌💞 🎶🎶PRAISE THE LORD, GREAT THINGS HE HAS DONE! 🎶🎶🎶 12/24/72 - 12/24/22! 🙏 AND HE SHALL REIGN FOREVER AND EVER! KING of kings and LORD of lords! HALLELUJAH! 💃💃💃🙏🙌💞
I love this for so many reasons. The arrangement. It makes me dance and sing and worship. Most importantly it is Word of God that tells you just how wonderful is Jesus Christ, the one and only God FOREVER and ALWAYS!!
I love this beautiful praise and worship Song!!! 🙏🏾❤️All the beautiful people that were selected to make this wonderful Choir is sooooooo Awesome ! ❤️❤️
Praise our wonderful SAVIOR of the world our wonderful dear sweet HEAVENLY FATHER through his wonderful loving SON JESUS CHRIST. The best version of this song so many amazing artist.
My favorite part about this piece is how it goes from B/W to Color in a sweep with Mr. Quincy's Arms as he stands in to take the lead. I love this piece probably more than any. Thank you all for your fabulous performances... Amen, and amen, bros & angels..
this song is a masterpiece it is one of the greatest choral pieces ever to be and arranged. merv warren,the Jones and all the amazing vocalist that helped bring this project together deserve a standing ovation and Daryl Coley awesomely represented the body of Christ on this song.
We got this album (Handel's Messiah - A Soulful Celebration) as part of our CD club about 12 years ago because we didn't cancel the monthly selection in time. So glad we didn't! This CD (thankfully, still in print and available on Amazon), is a joyful and unique treatment of Messiah. Sheet music available, too. We play it all year round because it is just good stuff!
Same here. I remember the first time I played the CD. Got chills! I had sung the original so many times and always loved it but this version soon became my favorite! I’m so glad I had the CD
Listening to this Classic on Christmas Day. Think about it, one of the GREATEST musical minds ever Quincy Jones re-works a classic, assembles all these talented & amazing singers, but chooses to use Daryl Coley's vocals as the lead/ ad libs. What a testament to Daryl's voice & gift.
can you feel the power of the praise for the high most God...all choirs should sing like this please...they sang beautifully. After years of searching I finaly got the song.
THIS IS FANTASTIC!!!! HOW COME IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO HAPPEN UPON IT??? JEEZ, THIS IS GREAT!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH TO WHOEVER ARRANGED IT!!! AND TO ALL THE SINGERS AND MUSICIANS!!! THANK YOU ALL!!!
I cannot believe I found this!!! Late 80s or early 90s I think I owned this cassette tape. Possibly CD form. Listened to all the movements over and over but THIS ONE. I must have listened to this movement 200 times (not even joking!) God bless you all for your contribution to musical history! Coming from a chorus person- most memorable moments of this one (not even talking about these AMAZING CHORUS VOICES!!! Anyone who has been in a chorus realizes the ENORMITY of these voices) 1) The breakdown with male voices -‘THE KINGDOM OF HIS WORD... just gorgeous. 2) everyone who is singing is energetic and singling their parts... so great to see! 3) and then - you have these gorgeous dynamics of the King is kings and lord of lords going from p to fff and back down and back up again. Seriously guys- if anyone that sang this 20 years ago- YOU INSPIRED ME SO MUCH with my walk with the Lord. 20 + years later. What a treat!!!
Forget Christmas time. This song is a all year song!!!!
This is more then a Christmas Song. Worship Jesus Christ!
May Thee Heavenly Father bless each and every one of us. ❤
QUINCEY JONES was a Genius to put this together!! so many legends. i been watching it every now & then since video came out back in the 90's. & it was on VHS. old skool 😊
Hallelujah! All praise to GOD Our Heavenly Father. Glory to GOD glory to JESUS. HE shall reign forever and ever. Amen 🙌🏽 🙏🏾
NOT ME WATCHING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME A DAY AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE PASSING OF THE LEGENDARY QUINCY JONES 😢
A good example of why African Americans rock.
That's right Daryl; HE'S WORTHY OF ALLLLLL THE GLORY!!! I don't know about the rest of you RUclipsrs, but I just can't stop giving my God the GLORAAAAAAY cause he WOOOOORTHY WORTHY WORTHY!!! I need some help ya'll!!!!

Arya's Kill List there are no "black" americans
@@reason4being hmmm.......
Black is just better 💯
Arya's Kill List .. There’s another video floating around with a mixed race youth group all wearing dashikis singing “ Hallelujah “ with a fabulous solo singer and a lady conductor dressed full African with a hat. I hope you find it I can’t because it’s under a different account . It’s a must see, that girl sang her heart out.
starting a statement with "Oh you black Americans" is always questionable...
and He shall reign forever and ever. AMEN!
