John Adams my fav president. A good man and gave his every being to the revolution and convinced Thomas Jefferson to write the decleration of independence and George Washington to lead the army and the philladelphia congress to vote for independence
I agree. I love George Washington for all he gave and he a was so humble. But John Adams gave his entire life to the Revolution. He had his flaws, but so did every Founder except Washington. I love this song too. It makes me cry for what our Country has given up, after our Founders gave everything, But it makes me proud of our Founding and all the brilliant men, born into one time and place to created the Greatest Nation that ever existed, until the Socialists destroyed it.
Is William Billings a character in the show? I liked in the The Tudors series how Thomas Thallis was actually a character. Either way I'm glad they did their research and picked probably the most appropriate period patriotic tune!
The last line of the miniseries is a quote from Adams - "Oh posterity, you will never know how much it cost us to preserve your freedom. I hope that you will make a good use of it, for if you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it."
"Here's the original". Hmm. I did not know Billings allowed video-recording for placement on RUclips of his original pieces? I doubt, Madam, that is the "original". Were you there for the "original" performance?
Ms Kathryn Atwood and yet, as happen during the revolutionary period, were simplified to one part as full voices were not on hand. I believe the scene we are talking about was at a Sons of Liberty meeting in 1775 Boston, a time of much upheaval that inevitably involved citizens of all classes and chorale abilities. I will pass this on to my friend, Rita Hampson, who is a DAR and a direct descendent of Abigail Adams, John’s wife.
In Colonial times, they often held large public meetings in the church building, because it was the only building in town that would fit so many people.

Supposedly there's an actor credited as portraying Billings in the episode, but the final cut of the scene doesn't point him out specifically.

If Adams could see what America is today he'd turn over in his grave

+Kael the Invoker shut the fuck up, you waste of space.
Black people aren't the problem (Though SJW movements such as Black Live Matters are the problem).
Not at all.
And if Billings could hear it, so would he.
Awesome 18th century revisited
Perfekt song against the tyrants ("foundingfathers")
Where is the harmony? "Chester" was written in four parts.
Why on Earth are they singing in unison? Surely they world have sung it in four parts, the way Billings wrote it.
Billings wrote this a cappella and as a patriotic chorale. Not as four-part harmony I believe.
@@drkennethmbeck5667 Wrong on both counts. Here's the original: ruclips.net/video/dYM0TXTZo40/видео.html

@@drbeck007 He did write it for four parts. I purchased a facsimile copy of the New England Psalm Singer and they're all there.

Talking in church...so rude.
Not church.
In Colonial times, they often held large public meetings in the church building, because it was the only building in town that would fit so many people.
Not church. Know your history, Americans. Faneuil Hall
