After sitting through so many of my child's grade and middle school sings where the kids didn't think it was cool to sing, it is a joy to listen to these kids and see the looks on their faces as they perform.
I’ve lost count as to the number of times I’ve watched this, the beautiful singing, and looking at all the smiling and happy faces, and that makes me happy! 😎
Did you watch their version of "Hallelujah" yet? IT"S BEAUTIFUL ! I've watched that one multiple times! This is my first time watching this video, though. I'm not disappointed at all! It's obvious the choir director is gifted and these young people are as well!
This brings back highschool chorus nostalgia for me. I remember doing this in 10th grade. Kudos to this group you can really tell they are feeling the song!! An yes indeed this is what the world should look like Its so great to see such a diverse group come together to raise the vibration of humans
Looking at this video makes me cry. But in a good way. This is where my life and singing started . I loved this chorus. Back in 1990 to 1995 I was apart of this wonderful union.. I used to go there from an after school center called Fredrick Douglass.My heart just melted things that will always be apart of you til the day you die
I remember during freshman year, I watched this video over and over again in amazement everytime, because my highschool choir sings this in our year-end show, for the seniors. I am now a sophomore, and and the nostalgia is hitting me hard, and my choir teacher and seniors is leaving this year. I hate and love life.
Came to hear these wonderful voices based on today's Humans of NY Stories. Thank you Francisco Nunez for sharing your journey, my day has been uplifted by your story!
🗣JESUS IS COMING SOON! JESUS says keep Sabbath holy! POPE says keep Sunday holy! “The Bible says remember that thou keep the Sabbath day. The Catholic Church says, 'NO!'. By my divine power, I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week. And, lo, the entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church." Father Enright, American Sentinal, June 1893. The WORD teaches 7th day is holy! The WORLD teaches 1st day is holy! SABBATH DAY = (Exodus 20:8-11) SUNDAY SACREDNESS = (Mark 7:7) WHO DO YOU 🫵 OBEY?????
AHGHHHG I FINALLY re discovered this gem of a song I sang in a choir before highschool. A bunch of Black urban Chicago youth singing, I had chills by the end. Like idk, really meant a lot to me to be singing this song, glad other young ppl got to sing it
Absolutely beautiful! Well done ladies and gentlemen! The harmony from you all is very impressive! Not once did anyone try to out sing each other! That is very hard to do! I love all the facial expressions as you all sing! Again great job and thank you for sharing!!
This was the last song that was sang at the final concert of our year. Every choir level at the school sang it and it was incredibly sad seeing some of the seniors faces as the knew this would be their last high-school concert.
That was just fabulous ! It reminded my untrained but appreciative ear of a combination of choirs I heard in Africa, and gospel choirs in the USA. The looks on the singers' faces is wonderful to see. Huge respect ! Thanks for sharing :)
We are at 2023 and I'm praying for all of you guys, and for all your families. Keep on going over trouble waters, Jesus is keeping us in Victory! God bless you all and all who can read this message. Amen! MARANATHA!
So inspiring.. this reminds me of my childhood when I used to part of the choir at school and other social events. I specially loved my music classes at school. There is something about singing together. Wonder why I didn't continue my singing. Singing in the same notes in a group is so thrilling and satisfying
I agree about the "way too few views", this needs to be seen more. This song, and especially this version of the song always pulls at my heart strings, my daughter's former high school choir sings this every year at the last concert of the school year as the very last song. The choir always invites choir alumni who are in attendance to come up on stage to sing along, it is awesome to see the whole stage filled with current and former students, some who are now adults. Thank you for posting this Kirby Shaw arranged version, I applaud your mission to bring the arts to kids of all backgrounds!
I had the random urge to look for this exact arrangement of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and I'm so glad I did. I remember doing it when I was in high school, just a few years before this video was recorded, and it brought back so many good memories. Great work!
Our church choir is singing this on Sunday at our Welcoming/Water service. Oh, that we could do as good a job as this group of young people. Thanks for sharing!
Qué alegría volver a escucharlos! Estuve en el concierto que dieron en Buenos Aires. Es precioso lo que hacen y hoy lo compartí con mis alumnos de escuela secundaria. Un abrazo!!!
THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL- I HAVE LOVED THIS SONG FOR YEARS AND I JUST CONVINCED MY SCHOOL CHOIR TO SING IT BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO! you guys are amazing, you have a beautiful energy that is contagious ❤️
I love the energy of these young people touching from their NOW to the spirit of the 1970's but which we need NOW!!!

I've watched tons of these choir videos and there's too many too for school kids. Bohemien Rhapsody, for example. These kis are beautiful.
Yes its part of the training . Most great Choirs know to,sing with meaning
If you get a music teacher that has a heart to teach music it makes a difference.
I imagine that Paul Simon is so proud that this 50-year-old song still resonates with this generation. ❤

I love the soulful movement and unabashed joy and passion of these young singers.

You are all beautiful humans...I hope any in the choir see this.
This video provides spiritual healing

I also REMEMBER doing a play at symphony space on 96st and Broadway called revels

I remember singing this in my seventh grade choir. I’m sad now.
Came here after reading about Nunez on Humans of New York. Amazing performance led by an amazing composer/conductor.
Thank you! We're so glad you're here!
This is so healing. Tears streaming down my cheeks, my heart brims with hope.
Love hearing stories of people being touched by the music. Thank you for sharing, and welcome to our space!
Absolutely fantastic. You can see how proud these kids are with what they've achieved. This work changes lives!

Here from Humans of New York - amazing!!!!!
My choir (all girls) just sang in the Sydney Opera House and now we are going to sing this song and well the video inspires me to try my hardest.
Absolutely beautiful! Well done ladies and gentlemen! The harmony from you all is very impressive! Not once did anyone try to out sing each other! That is very hard to do! I love all the facial expressions as you all sing! Again great job and thank you for sharing!!
Joyous. Totally love this rendition. So many talented young people, fills my heart with joy. Love and peace.
The power of chorus cannot be ignored or overstated.
Here from HONY to see this man's work. The diversity in this group is beautiful.
Just found this group from Humans of New York. I love this song and they did an amazing job with it.
Thank you!!
Gorgeous. This is the most beautiful arrangement of this song I believe I have ever heard. Some day we'll all get to sing together again!
Thank you so much! Yes, we can't wait to sing together again. :)

I love this. It touches me deeply. Not sure why but has something with “sweet bird of youth” and HOPE
What an inspiring performance. A delight to listen to.
