@@Kingdom_Of_Dreams aahh of course Spirit, when I tell you I LOVE that MOVIE🤭🤭😌😌😌😌🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I watched it over and over again, then I was still that girl who could watch a movie nonstop without ever getting tired of it😁
This version brings literal tears to my eyes. These people aren't just a choir group set for a movie, these are people living under real suppression, the emotions they put into their singing just drives it home...
Do you happen to know what the choir from the movie is? No matter how many times I've searched it on Google I cannot for the life of me figure out what choir does that song for the film.
This song needs to go viral now in 2022... the Taiwanese people deserve their freedom and their own country.. every country needs to acknowledge their sovereignty.
His intonation wasn't perfect, with some notes conspicuously flat, and he cracked a harmonic shift in one place. He's not a legend LOL. THAT said, he has a VERY good tone, and his ability to play with such smoothness and tenderness on an instrument that does not easily sound that way IS impressive. In spite of its (to me) obvious flaws, I enjoyed his performance very much. I think he nailed the feeling perfectly, if not the technical details.
Did you notice that the women changed their timbre to distinguish the Moses's mother and his sister's characters? I can't be the only one who noticed this?
It's not effortless, it's 'seemingly effortless'. Musicians at this level have put in insane hours of blood sweat and tear, over decades, often since childhood. But I completely agree about the ''musicality and emotion in every note''. :)
Lyns I read they did a small scale test run in San Fransisco last year, so maybe they're coming back at some point I think it ended in Fredericia for now though, but they revamp it in Copenhagen next summer, so there's a vacation destination for you ;)
This brings tears to my eyes. It's a song longing for freedom from oppression. Whether you are Palestinian, Tawainese, Jewish, stateless immigrant due to war; this all applies to all of humanity in our suffering.
Until 1964, there was no such thing as a Arab or Muslim Palestinian in all of world history. Only Western countries called the Holy Land Palestine after an extinct Mediterranean Sea people who worshiped a Merman fish god. The Sea people called Peleshet disappeared from world history after consecutive Assyrian and Babylonian Conquests from 700 to 600 bc.
I think my favorite part about this song was that neither the chorus nor the orchestra drowned the other out. It was so well balanced that you could hear both beautifully well and they played off of one another easily and smoothly

Sorry I'm not finding any comments but the men's choir sound just like the movie pls I can't be the only one who even mildly thinks this. Theyre amazing
I agree the men’s voices here are fantastic. The women lack emotion somewhat, probably because they’re singing in pure tones and not quarter tones like the lament in the film.
I swear I thought I was only one crying. Regardless of being a Christian and reading the Bible, this performance is breathtaking especially with headphones
I remember I used to watch this so many times when I was little, I almost always cry when watching or hearing this song. It’s such a beautifully pieced story with great songs and characters that you could never forget. 🥺
As a child, I grew up watching Prince of Egypt often, and it really helped increase my understanding of the history behind the Israelites release from Egypt and the importance of it. Your cover of this song gave me chills, thanks for sharing!
Are we going to talk about the choreography, going up and down steps, turning around, hands going up and down, while singing and staying in unison- Wow!!
I hope to write down my feelings here. The day before yesterday, I attended the NTU Choir’s 60th-anniversary concert. Their collaboration with the Evergreen Symphony Orchestra was truly impressive. The entire 2.5-hour performance was non-stop and captivating, giving me goosebumps and bringing tears to my eyes. In the nearly full National Concert Hall, I could feel the tremendous effort put in by freshman and sophomore students through their club activities. It’s really not easy to sustain such a legacy for six decades. My favorite piece of the entire concert was the overture “Deliver Us” from The Prince of Egypt. Watching videos at home cannot compare to the impact of seeing it live. The choreography and chorus were exhilarating, and it was wonderful to feel the students’ passion for the choir! 🥹
I am just floored - a Taiwanese chorus singing an American song about Hebrews in ancient Egypt... And they KILL IT, English (+ a little Hebrew) and all. The world ain’t SO big - good music transcends language and cultural barriers. What a pleasant surprise. ☺️
For a small nation trembling under the heel of an oppressive regime attempting to enslave them, the truth of the story resonates as loudly as the chorus.
Greetings from Egypt 🇪🇬✨, Moses (peace be upon him ) is one of the mightiest messengers of God , God helped him , and I believe in him as well as the rest of profits like Jesus , Mohammed (peace be upon them all) , plus there are some right things in song , but according to me not all , because that’s the story of Moses (peace be upon him) in the view of Christianity or Judaism , but for us “Muslims” we don’t believe like that
This song actually could also mean a lot to us Taiwanese, since we all want to be delivered to the world without Beijing's oppression, and most importantly we want to build and get recognized of our own country without being threatened by totalitarian China just like the Jews.
@Half life 3 I don't speak for everyone, but the majority of us do consider ourselves simply just Taiwanese rather than Chinese or both. And yes, it's the CCP that see us as a part of its territory or a so called renegade province, which we strongly disagree with. Don't get me wrong, most of us do know that we are ethnically Han Chinese, but that doesn't mean we identify ourself as nationality Chinese, not to mention that our culture is such a huge melting pot of Chinese, Japanese, Southeast Asian and a bit of European.
@Lovely_Theaceae lol you're fine. Whats so funny is that we also depicted the communist as all vicious demons in our historic textbook back in my school time (especially that Mao bastard), so you are totally understandable too to have this image of all us Taiwanese are as bad as the propaganda which might have affected you. It's nice that you actually realize something different from what you've learned based on your past experience. If you have chance to pay a visit to this "sadistic" island, you will certainly notice that almost everyone here are against the image you've had. After all, we are all human beings in the end, despite our differences.
This sounds like what happened in the US, most Americans are of European descent with a lot from the UK but Americans see themselves as a separate people rather than an offshoot in another state. I hope Taiwan receives the recognition it deserves someday, preferably sooner rather than later. It’s one of the world’s most successful democracies on the doorstep of the world’s largest communist state bent on destroying it.
@Lovely_Theaceae You're absolutely not alone. Contrary to what most of us would like to admit, we get similar things here in America, too. Our political divide, especially nowadays, is because both sides are afraid that the other is seeking to set up a totalitarian regime to oppress the other side, and this is reflected in the media each side is fed. (Liberals are called communist, and conservatives are called fascist, even though neither side is either of these.) It's so hard to know what's real and what's just propaganda that I frequently find myself questioning my own values. Funny enough, when I first learned about Mao, I completely misunderstood and thought he was basically just like our George Washington: a man rebelling against an evil king for the rights of the people. Shows what I know about history. T_T
Their slight accents make it sound EVEN BETTER. As if their sheer skill alone wasn't enough, a "flaw" makes it ever better. Flaw Shmaw, accents are fantabulous!
Daniella Levy Not that part, at least for me. During the first part I can't hear them, and in the second part they barely have an accent. When I read OP's comment, I'm thinking about the rest of the singers.
Their accents don't make it sound better; they sound great despite their slight accents. There's nothing wrong with accents! It means you've gone out of your comfort zone and that is impressive!
accents is not a flaw, it's someone's way of interpreting your language. If you went to japan and spoke Japanese, you will have an accent. Does that mean you are flawed. all the same with anyone speaking English when it is not their first language.
@@theendlesslights Ikr I've seen so many covers of "When you believe" as well and they ALWAYS mess up the Hebrew part, like bro just put some effort into it💀
A song about the deliverance and liberation of people facing tyrannical rule from a foreign power who seeks to subject them to cruelty and degradation. This song is a fitting anthem to the people of Taiwan and may they be protected as the darkest hour draws closer. Long Live A Free Taiwan!

I am Jewish and today is Passover the holiday when we celebrate Moses and the exodus from Egypt. I want to thank you so much for this incredible version of this beautiful song, it is such a joy to hear people from a different culture look into our culture and story and even do the Hebrew parts very well, thank you so much! God bless
@Alea Iacta Est and your point is? Real or not, it's the way they preserve and understand their history. Even if you don't believe in it, at least respect it.
@Beed_roonsun To be honest I am very non-religious, I personally believe that the beauty in the story of the Exodus (or in any mythology / history of a people) is the fact that the vast majority of Jews in the world tell and preserve it. On Passover, the story of the Exodus is told in a permanent and ancient version called the Haggadah, meaning of the word is to say or tell. The matter is the current common existence of an entire people, every year everywhere in the world for more than two thousand years it is told from father to son, in my eyes it does not matter if it happened or not, the ceremony and the holiday are the preservation of the common story. This is what makes us a people, not necessarily whether we left Egypt or not. And personally I think it's a great story.

Watched the movie again, damn even though it’s not in the original story that part with Ramses shouting across the Red Sea at Moses really hits hard after they grew up with each other.
well the original story is a fairy tail anyhow. if you fled Egypt during the New Kingdom to Canaan you were still in Egypt. makes as much sense if you try to escape Chinese authorities by going to Tibet
nadia2883 yeah you’re right. The story is he chased Moses to the water thing but he survived with his army pretty much gone. Then lived out the rest of his days. Of course there will always be inaccuracy but no one truly knows for real

Equally interesting is the plight of the Taiwanese people bravely resisting the communist party. With how well the Taiwanese avoided the coronavirus plague, you'd think they had Moses on their side, keeping the angel of death at bay.
I made a comment 3 years ago when I first discovered this rendition of prince of Egypt and let me tell you all these years later I am STILL coming back and I’m in TEARS at the end because this is just too good 👏
Hmm, Unfortunately there wasn't that one last high 'deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiver uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus' at the end. Amazing though.
@@monicag.k.tambajong I know many Korean people that also have problems with "R and L" also "V, B, and P" English is hard, these guys and gals did an amazing job!
People always ask why Prince of Egypt doesn’t have a Broadway adaptation and the answer is money. It’s the same reason that the Hunchback of Notre Dame musical never ended up on Broadway, that amount of money for that large of choir is not some thing that investors are going to want to look into. Which is stupid. Because it would make them a lot of money. Because it would be amazing.
@@deliriousgirl84 its pretty good but it kind of butchers the hebrew though. the movie uses it very lightly, but they tried to use it a bit more in the west end version and that aspect isn't great
I don’t ever comment but I have officially lost my shit. This was extraordinary I am speechless and got chills so many times. Thank you for this, just, thank you.
Holy shit! The harmonies! The dark tones!The blending! The enunciation! The balance of it all! I'm absolutely blown away. This deserves so much praise!
woooow.... I have not words... it made me cry. The movie has always had a special place in my heart and this just.. wow. No, I can't begin to describe how it made me feel.
I'm tearing up too linnea, this has been my favourite movie for since I could remember this absolutely is the most beautiful thing I've heard in the last decade 😍😍😍😭😭😭
I know i'm a bit late here, but have you seen the cover of this song done by Jonathan Young and Caleb Hyles? That and their cover of "The Plagues" is amazing.
Oh my goodness, guys... That artistic choice to represent the last line "Deliver us!" with the horn just hit me in a powerful way. It is like an unspoken prayer that resonates with Heaven. "Deliver us!" 🙏 I wish all of y'all pleasant resonance with Heaven. May honesty and humility be deep wells of strength for you. Let us set all the captives free, for there are many still convinced that they are captives in this world. We walk in victory as One Body in Christ. We are to enter the Promised Land together in perfect peace. Our victory over death is to be a complete victory. Every beloved child of God will know Love. Is it not wonderful news that all may receive new life in full? It is wonderful news indeed. Pray continually, beloved, for the day is ripe with opportunities to sow eternal seeds. Bless you.
I could listen to this for hours on end. Incredibly beautiful vocals and Symphony. Can't get over the crispness of those trumpet solos! And the strengths in all the voices while they are moving and with some of their backs turned as well. Such a gripping and Beautiful song. If anyone has not seen The Prince of Egypt, I highly encourage you to make the time to watch and listen. It is a beautiful rendering of the life of Joseph and many people in God's hand of provision, protection and miracles throughout. God can take what is meant for evil and turn it for good. Thank you, blessings and great respect to each of you who took part in this beautiful, Musical gift.
@@Zelkaru711 @Daniel of Mintaka Hi and thank you, Dan! Yes, Moses!

His story of God's faithfulness & redemption is wonderful, too. Thanks again for your kind correction! Blessings!!
Taiwan's struggle against the oppressive mainland China reflects a strong bond with Israel's struggle against slavery under pharaohs during Mosaic times.
I find China to be complicated. Most people don't realize that China changed a lot in the last 22 years since they started the reforms. Freedoms have gotten pretty good and I have a friend who lives in Shanghai and he says as long as you don't talk shit about government it's pretty cool place to live. However the relationship between China and Taiwan is bad because Taiwan is basically the descendents of that nationalists koumingtang during the civil war . And China never gave up the idea of reunification. It be like if after the American civil war the confederacy took over cuba and decided to make a government calling itself the United States of America lol
@Christopher Johnson I get what you mean it got better shi came into power and I watch serpentza on what I should know about China since he had lived there for years until he had to leave with his family. There's a big difference between the people of China and the government.
@@purplegalaxy9751 my friend said it's pretty chill place to live as long as you don't talk shit about the government. she even said things like women's rights and sex crimes had started to be taken more seriously, as long as you don't point out that there is a sex crime and women's right problem. you know they are trying to fix it because their dramas are used as propaganda of things they are doing. google it it's kind of funny. basically, they are pushing reforms but until then they went with the "there is no war in ba sing se" methods in the meantime.
This entire performance is nothing short of PHENOMENAL. Language is just a barrier, music can surpass it all. Every word, every melody, every crescendo, every staccato note... the choreography. I would have given them a standing ovation. Truly brilliant, moving, and honorable.
It's not that, trust me. This is a phenomenally beautiful piece of music that appeals to a deep human yearning to be free, and prefaces one of the greatest stories about that subject to have ever existed throughout human history. It should everyone at least think about crying...
@@BirdiePlaysYT why does every atheist always say this stupid stuff like "because he doesn't exist" "stop praying to you sky daddy" "if only he was real" its such a cope, you only try to convince yourself that he isn't real.
I love the movie, the soundtrack, all of it. And for those who are saying this movie is underrated, what are you talking about? This movie got two Academy nominations and won an Oscar in 1999. And it didn't win an Oscar for best animated feature because there wasn't such category then. So I never see this movie as underrated but it got the attention and respect it deserved.
Amazing rendition! I may be reading too much into it, but it resonates all the more since it's being performed by a Taiwanese chorus. The people of Taiwan are arguably exiles, just like the Hebrews in the bible. Bravo!
I've known this song for years, watching the movie ever since I was a child. But I never realized how powerful the lyrics were till now. Is the first time in years this song has made my heart clench and my eyes cry.
Forgot to mention, that trumpet player killed that intro. No words, just wow
Sure did!

There's a land You promised us
Deliver us to the Promised Land
ילדי הטוב והרך
אל תירא ואל תפחד
My son, I have nothing I can give
But this chance that you may live
I pray we'll meet again if He will
Deliver us (deliver us)
Hear our prayer, deliver us
From despair, these years of slavery
Grown too cruel to stand
Deliver us
There's a land You promised us
Deliver us from the bondage
And deliver us to the Promised Land
Hush now my baby, be still, love, don't cry
Sleep as you're rocked by the stream
Sleep and remember my last lullaby
So I'll be with you when you dream
River, oh, river, flow gently for me
Such precious cargo you bear
Do you know somewhere he can live free?
River, deliver him there
Hee-eee
Hee-eee
Brother, you're safe now and safe may you stay
For I have a prayer just for you
Grow, baby brother, come back someday
Come and deliver us, too
Deliver us
Send a shepherd to shepherd us
And deliver us to the Promised Land
Deliver us to the Promised Land
Deliver us
Thank you
Thank you🤲

Goosebumps as soon as the trumpet started playing. The Prince of Egypt is one of those movies from childhood that stays with you well into adulthood
so true !

Sorry I'm not finding any comments but the men's choir sound just like the movie pls I can't be the only one who even mildly thinks this. Theyre amazing
They seriously do! Absolutely incredible!
i know right?! it's crazy how well they've done it.
They do!!!! They really do!!!! That is very hard to find, in a choir, that they will sound like the singers in the movie!!!
I agree the men’s voices here are fantastic. The women lack emotion somewhat, probably because they’re singing in pure tones and not quarter tones like the lament in the film.
This song must be really liberating to sing.
started crying HARD at multiple points. THATS humanity at its best- creating beauty.
I swear I thought I was only one crying. Regardless of being a Christian and reading the Bible, this performance is breathtaking especially with headphones
same :( I cry every time I watch it
I'm not even religious but I cry a Lot with good music like this!
I remember I used to watch this so many times when I was little, I almost always cry when watching or hearing this song. It’s such a beautifully pieced story with great songs and characters that you could never forget. 🥺

Still hands down the best live rendition of this masterpiece. They really did it justice. I'm simply in tears.

As a child, I grew up watching Prince of Egypt often, and it really helped increase my understanding of the history behind the Israelites release from Egypt and the importance of it. Your cover of this song gave me chills, thanks for sharing!
Not gonna lie, the Tawainese accent that softens hard English syllables makes it sound even better.
Are we going to talk about the choreography, going up and down steps, turning around, hands going up and down, while singing and staying in unison- Wow!!
You just did. Well said ! ♥️
this slaps. so why the HECK is there no broadway version of prince of egypt??? it's becoming a cult classic like anastasia, c'mon guys.
Quite so. I've heard that the opening scene of the Lion King's broadway adaptation brings one to tears. Imagine what this would be like.

I hope to write down my feelings here.
The day before yesterday, I attended the NTU Choir’s 60th-anniversary concert. Their collaboration with the Evergreen Symphony Orchestra was truly impressive. The entire 2.5-hour performance was non-stop and captivating, giving me goosebumps and bringing tears to my eyes.
In the nearly full National Concert Hall, I could feel the tremendous effort put in by freshman and sophomore students through their club activities. It’s really not easy to sustain such a legacy for six decades.
My favorite piece of the entire concert was the overture “Deliver Us” from The Prince of Egypt. Watching videos at home cannot compare to the impact of seeing it live. The choreography and chorus were exhilarating, and it was wonderful to feel the students’ passion for the choir! 🥹
We not finna talk about the full musical spectrum? I KNOW YALL HEAR THAT PERCUSSION KILLING IT
April Gibson Ikr!!! Percussionists are amazing!
Amen!
I was in percussion in brand
Gonna, gonna.
Honestly could have been better
I am just floored - a Taiwanese chorus singing an American song about Hebrews in ancient Egypt...
And they KILL IT, English (+ a little Hebrew) and all. The world ain’t SO big - good music transcends language and cultural barriers.
What a pleasant surprise. ☺️
For a small nation trembling under the heel of an oppressive regime attempting to enslave them, the truth of the story resonates as loudly as the chorus.
"I am just floored" you don't know how happy I am to read this so randomly! I salute you, fellow Nightwish fan ;)
Greetings from Egypt 🇪🇬✨, Moses (peace be upon him ) is one of the mightiest messengers of God , God helped him , and I believe in him as well as the rest of profits like Jesus , Mohammed (peace be upon them all) , plus there are some right things in song , but according to me not all , because that’s the story of Moses (peace be upon him) in the view of Christianity or Judaism , but for us “Muslims” we don’t believe like that
I was also touched by the amazing combination of cultures going on here.
Yes truly. I am weak with emotion.
That trumpet player plays with his heart in it
I immediately teared up on the first Elohim and I spiralled into sobbing after.
This is the best live version of this song. You can stop looking now.
Thanks for saving my time

That Trumpet Player Is Taking His Job Seriously!!! 🙏🏽
Really SERIOUS.....
This song actually could also mean a lot to us Taiwanese, since we all want to be delivered to the world without Beijing's oppression, and most importantly we want to build and get recognized of our own country without being threatened by totalitarian China just like the Jews.
@Half life 3 I don't speak for everyone, but the majority of us do consider ourselves simply just Taiwanese rather than Chinese or both. And yes, it's the CCP that see us as a part of its territory or a so called renegade province, which we strongly disagree with. Don't get me wrong, most of us do know that we are ethnically Han Chinese, but that doesn't mean we identify ourself as nationality Chinese, not to mention that our culture is such a huge melting pot of Chinese, Japanese, Southeast Asian and a bit of European.
@Lovely_Theaceae lol you're fine. Whats so funny is that we also depicted the communist as all vicious demons in our historic textbook back in my school time (especially that Mao bastard), so you are totally understandable too to have this image of all us Taiwanese are as bad as the propaganda which might have affected you. It's nice that you actually realize something different from what you've learned based on your past experience. If you have chance to pay a visit to this "sadistic" island, you will certainly notice that almost everyone here are against the image you've had. After all, we are all human beings in the end, despite our differences.
This sounds like what happened in the US, most Americans are of European descent with a lot from the UK but Americans see themselves as a separate people rather than an offshoot in another state. I hope Taiwan receives the recognition it deserves someday, preferably sooner rather than later. It’s one of the world’s most successful democracies on the doorstep of the world’s largest communist state bent on destroying it.
@Lovely_Theaceae You're absolutely not alone. Contrary to what most of us would like to admit, we get similar things here in America, too. Our political divide, especially nowadays, is because both sides are afraid that the other is seeking to set up a totalitarian regime to oppress the other side, and this is reflected in the media each side is fed. (Liberals are called communist, and conservatives are called fascist, even though neither side is either of these.) It's so hard to know what's real and what's just propaganda that I frequently find myself questioning my own values.
Funny enough, when I first learned about Mao, I completely misunderstood and thought he was basically just like our George Washington: a man rebelling against an evil king for the rights of the people. Shows what I know about history. T_T
@@hai8629 They're working on that to be changed to be just Taiwan now and not RoC anymore.
Their slight accents make it sound EVEN BETTER. As if their sheer skill alone wasn't enough, a "flaw" makes it ever better. Flaw Shmaw, accents are fantabulous!
Can't hear any accent tbh.
the original singer is ofra chaza, an israeli singer, so it's possible they were trying to imitate her accent!
Daniella Levy Not that part, at least for me. During the first part I can't hear them, and in the second part they barely have an accent. When I read OP's comment, I'm thinking about the rest of the singers.
Their accents don't make it sound better; they sound great despite their slight accents. There's nothing wrong with accents! It means you've gone out of your comfort zone and that is impressive!
accents is not a flaw, it's someone's way of interpreting your language. If you went to japan and spoke Japanese, you will have an accent. Does that mean you are flawed. all the same with anyone speaking English when it is not their first language.
The pronunciation is really great. They worked so well on this piece.
I literally thought they just played the original recording, until they started the adlib. It's amazing!
Even the hebrew is kinda passable
I know! Their annunciation and vowels are so clear. It's always annoying when u cant tell what a chior is saying. They did fantastic
@@theendlesslights Ikr I've seen so many covers of "When you believe" as well and they ALWAYS mess up the Hebrew part, like bro just put some effort into it💀
Many Taiwanese grow up speaking English fluently, so that's not so surprising.
A song about the deliverance and liberation of people facing tyrannical rule from a foreign power who seeks to subject them to cruelty and degradation. This song is a fitting anthem to the people of Taiwan and may they be protected as the darkest hour draws closer. Long Live A Free Taiwan!
And their brothers and sisters need to be there to support them
Americans when Taiwan(Prosperous from Western aid and free equipment): So sad :(((
Americans when owning illegal slave mines killing and enslaving millions of African kids and support shell in lynching tens of thousands of innocent protestors so their iPhones can be cheap and they can have cheap gas for their cars: Don't care, oppression for thee not for me.
Stop pretending to have empathy, devil.

I am Jewish and today is Passover the holiday when we celebrate Moses and the exodus from Egypt. I want to thank you so much for this incredible version of this beautiful song, it is such a joy to hear people from a different culture look into our culture and story and even do the Hebrew parts very well, thank you so much! God bless
Happy Pesach!
@Alea Iacta Est and your point is? Real or not, it's the way they preserve and understand their history. Even if you don't believe in it, at least respect it.
@Beed_roonsun To be honest I am very non-religious, I personally believe that the beauty in the story of the Exodus (or in any mythology / history of a people) is the fact that the vast majority of Jews in the world tell and preserve it. On Passover, the story of the Exodus is told in a permanent and ancient version called the Haggadah, meaning of the word is to say or tell. The matter is the current common existence of an entire people, every year everywhere in the world for more than two thousand years it is told from father to son, in my eyes it does not matter if it happened or not, the ceremony and the holiday are the preservation of the common story. This is what makes us a people, not necessarily whether we left Egypt or not. And personally I think it's a great story.
Thanks to me

They had absolutely no business being this good, DANG. Everything about this performance was perfect.
Watched the movie again, damn even though it’s not in the original story that part with Ramses shouting across the Red Sea at Moses really hits hard after they grew up with each other.
well the original story is a fairy tail anyhow. if you fled Egypt during the New Kingdom to Canaan you were still in Egypt. makes as much sense if you try to escape Chinese authorities by going to Tibet
thats not how original ramses second died lol as far as i know he was a child pharaoh and was assassinated via poison
nadia2883 Didn’t he live to be 90?
It always hurts indeed
nadia2883 yeah you’re right. The story is he chased Moses to the water thing but he survived with his army pretty much gone. Then lived out the rest of his days. Of course there will always be inaccuracy but no one truly knows for real
The part where she puts Moses at the river always makes me cry.
Me too, once I had my son, that part always makes me cry

Equally interesting is the plight of the Taiwanese people bravely resisting the communist party. With how well the Taiwanese avoided the coronavirus plague, you'd think they had Moses on their side, keeping the angel of death at bay.

Rest in Peace, Ofra Haza .... her voice made that song.
I've read that in that voice... damn. That last line.
Hahaha. Felt same!! That was cute pointing it haha lol
I like how Ofra sang Hoshia na at the end of Hebrew version. They should all end with Hoshia na (hosanna).
This is an extremely difficult song to sing. This is gorgeous.
Forever waiting for the "Deliver Us" solo at the end
I was too 😦
Deriver us*

Can we just admire the trumpet? Its just... nostalgia
People always ask why Prince of Egypt doesn’t have a Broadway adaptation and the answer is money.
It’s the same reason that the Hunchback of Notre Dame musical never ended up on Broadway, that amount of money for that large of choir is not some thing that investors are going to want to look into. Which is stupid. Because it would make them a lot of money.
Because it would be amazing.
It’s has a West End adaptation though. It’s beautifully done.
@@deliriousgirl84 its pretty good but it kind of butchers the hebrew though. the movie uses it very lightly, but they tried to use it a bit more in the west end version and that aspect isn't great
Legitimately, just reading the lyrics made me tear up. Amazing job, NTU!
i know how hard it is singing in another language coming from a choir member so props to yall
They had to sing this in English and even Hebrew for some of the sections. They did well.
I don’t ever comment but I have officially lost my shit. This was extraordinary I am speechless and got chills so many times. Thank you for this, just, thank you.

I know i'm a bit late here, but have you seen the cover of this song done by Jonathan Young and Caleb Hyles? That and their cover of "The Plagues" is amazing.
Is this real? I am not able to believe the pure absolute artistic excellence of this performance. i need to get out of the little cave i am living in.
This hits harder because of the current situation with China and Taiwan
Oh my goodness, guys... That artistic choice to represent the last line "Deliver us!" with the horn just hit me in a powerful way. It is like an unspoken prayer that resonates with Heaven. "Deliver us!" 🙏
I wish all of y'all pleasant resonance with Heaven. May honesty and humility be deep wells of strength for you. Let us set all the captives free, for there are many still convinced that they are captives in this world. We walk in victory as One Body in Christ. We are to enter the Promised Land together in perfect peace. Our victory over death is to be a complete victory. Every beloved child of God will know Love. Is it not wonderful news that all may receive new life in full? It is wonderful news indeed. Pray continually, beloved, for the day is ripe with opportunities to sow eternal seeds. Bless you.
Amen.
Thank you for your prayers. Christ smiles upon you. 😇

Taiwan's struggle against the oppressive mainland China reflects a strong bond with Israel's struggle against slavery under pharaohs during Mosaic times.
I find China to be complicated. Most people don't realize that China changed a lot in the last 22 years since they started the reforms. Freedoms have gotten pretty good and I have a friend who lives in Shanghai and he says as long as you don't talk shit about government it's pretty cool place to live. However the relationship between China and Taiwan is bad because Taiwan is basically the descendents of that nationalists koumingtang during the civil war . And China never gave up the idea of reunification. It be like if after the American civil war the confederacy took over cuba and decided to make a government calling itself the United States of America lol

@@purplegalaxy9751 my friend said it's pretty chill place to live as long as you don't talk shit about the government. she even said things like women's rights and sex crimes had started to be taken more seriously, as long as you don't point out that there is a sex crime and women's right problem. you know they are trying to fix it because their dramas are used as propaganda of things they are doing. google it it's kind of funny. basically, they are pushing reforms but until then they went with the "there is no war in ba sing se" methods in the meantime.

Amazing rendition! I may be reading too much into it, but it resonates all the more since it's being performed by a Taiwanese chorus. The people of Taiwan are arguably exiles, just like the Hebrews in the bible. Bravo!
