I was a member of a chamber choir over 20 years ago, and this was one of our favorite pieces. I've heard this done by quite a few choirs and I can tell you this is one of the best renditions I've ever heard.
dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you're bored like me during the covid times you can stream all the latest series on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend during the lockdown :)
I had the privilege of working with him at an "all-state" clinician level and later as a soloist in the Moses Hogan Chorale. He was a genius...but, he was a wonderful, kind man who was a cheerleader for everyone in his corps... I still listen to his works in honor of his memory.
I have to say, this is the cleanest version of this song I have ever heard. The choir inserts tiny breaks before words and most syllables that make it sparkle. They were impeccable on their entrances, and I could hear every part in perfect balance. This has to be the definitive version of the Battle of Jericho. Bravo!
im about to do the same thing for UIL this year… please tell me it gets less uncomfortable lol. this piece is gorgeous but that 2nd soprano part is quite hectic in isolation :’)
I performed this song in the AMEA Arizona All-State High School Honor Choir last spring, and it was by far the favorite of almost everyone in the ensemble. Such a catchy, memorable piece, with a really fun Bass II part.
Graduated high school in 2002 with the most state performance medals by a single performer in Florida (38 medals in my high school career) and a good bit of that is thanks to Moses Hogan...
The Cache Valley Men's Chorus (based out of Logan, UT) performed a TTBB arrengement of this throughout the '22-'23 season! It was absolutely an audience favorite!
I was in grad school when our choral director took us to the chapel to sing this piece and then he told us the sad news that Moses Hogan has passed away the day before.
I heard a story about Moses Hogan being an All-State Clinician for Louisiana All-State Choir. He was doing this song and couple of others he had just wrote. The choir was majority white people. During the rehearsals they kept asking why did he use this word instead of using this word and why the diction was this way instead what they consider to be correct English. He finally got tired of them asking an answered, "Back then, when our ancestors were slaves, they weren't allowed to read or write. So they use letters they were only allow to learn, that is why it is written this way." After that no else asked another question and they went on to perform and had a great concert.
Lol because it's not talking about him "fighting" but being the perfect "fit" for this battle. Think when your clothes are good for you, they "fit" you. It's that concept that is being expressed: Joshua was the right person for fighting this battle

I believe this is one of the original Moses Hogan Chorale recordings.

I performed this song with the University Singers for the University of Minnesota Duluth. It’s one of my all time favorite songs to put on.

Thrilling, transcendental
1:25 . . . that is some solid gold bass! XD
I just learned this song and I cannot wait to perform it
A MASTERPIECE
Very dramatic love the energy and the screaming
I sang this at the Louisiana All State performance in Baton Rouge some 20 plus years ago. Good times.
Incredible arrangement!
Sadly we aren’t taking this to contest but by god we’re gonna do three AA songs for our winter concert

I sang this my junior year of high school
This makes me miss being a tenor in choir😊
Finally a recording with a good tempo! Too many conductors take this waaaayyy too fast!
Thank you Doc
🌹
I like this song
Why do the men always say "fit" instead of "fought." That's my only question.
Like, where did he fit it, in his pocket?
Archaic verb form.
It’s written that way in the music. Black dialect.

The Genius masterpiece!!!!
Very clean. Needs more bass 2. But then, doesn't everything?
