I am in tears. In 1995, on a tour with the Old Dominion University concert choir, we were all gathered as a group in the stairwell of the National Cathedral in DC. On a whim, we struck up this piece which was in our repertoire. It was ethereal, perfect and a spiritual experience, and hearing this version, sung with this perfection, takes me back there. It was one of the most spiritual experiences of my life. Thank you Chanticleer for this........
That's not a tenor, that's a soprano.... I have never heard a tenor voice so beautiful. I'm sitting here with tears rolling down my face. This is the first time I have ever heard them and I'm so sad I haven't until now. Just speechless.
I was in the choir that first sang Jim Erb's "Shenandoah" (from mimeographed pages!) in 1971. This is the most beautiful performance of it that I've heard, and I think Jim would have liked the additions to his original arrangement.
O M G!!!! CHIC, ELEGANT, TIMELESS, EXQUISITE, CHANTICLEER… I don’t know what it is about this song that touches me so much throughout my life… especially at low points. I remember hearing this on the rolling credits sang a cappella after watching a Civil War movie decades ago and it left me without words, which is a difficult thing to do. Again today I had it on my mind to try to find who this group was that sang the a cappella version on that soundtrack which I did not find. However, while listening to versions of Shenandoah ,which were sung cappella, there were many that were great until I heard CHANTICLEER. I was so unbelievably touched by their beautiful understated presentation which many times is most powerful…and then they begin…THOSE VOICES…I had tears in my eyes listening while they showcase the unbelievable range presented so effortlessly. I’m so grateful for your talent and the uncomplicated way you present it allowing the thoughtful arrangement to be enjoyed without distraction. BRING IT ON!!
Ich habe sie gestern (14.7.24) live in einer kleinen Kirche in Freigericht-Somborn gesehen und ich bin immer noch ergriffen von dieser außergewöhnlich Darbietung. Es ist ein unfassbar schöner und tiefgründiger Gesang von diesem wunderbaren klassischen Vocalensemble aus San Francisco. Danke für dieses Konzert!
Too much reverb for me. The original's sound was more focused, and the soprano solo was totally unexpected. This arrangement is longer with 3 soprano solos. Both versions are brilliant, new singers, new recording technology, different venue...
TEARS! I first heard this version in highschool when my choir teacher had our guys sing it and all of us ladies were JELLYY and in tears... you guys this will always be the best version... and you guys KILLED IT!
So I’m a fan of BYU football, which just scheduled a game with the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers. What’s a Chanticleer? Google led me here 🤣. Amazing sound 😁.
Chanticleer is a name used to refer to a rooster (that they don't know the name of or that doesn't have a name)...in the same way that people say Reynard for a fox, Pepi LePeu for a skunk, or Fido for a dog
This arrangement is actually comprised of two arrangements. The section from 1:57 onwards is from The LG Choral Series arr. James Erb. Not sure where the first part is from though.

I started with goosebumps, but when the counter tenor started up, it was tears from there. Great job!

that's the countertenor vocal range.
Men are not sopranos.
I love the comments as much as the Chanticleer sound! They are all positive uplifting, appropriate, kind supportive!
both the long hair and the long notes are impeccable
HAHA! thank you! it's been since...March since any of us got professional cuts? cheers 😊
Too funny 😎
The man with the long hair is my uncle!

Waouh !!! Wondefull is the minimum I can write about such an artistic performance !!! You're all all fantastic guys !!! Thanks for your brightness !!!

3:44 Adam is enjoying that suspension almost as much as us!

THIS IS THE BEST VERSION THAT CHANTICLEER HAS OF THIS SONG!!!!!!
SOOOO PURE AND CLEAN!!!!!! IF THEY HAD ERIC IT WOULD HAVE BEEN JUST PERFECTION!!!!!!

Wonderful...what a gorgeous sound. So beautiful and uplifting. Well done lads !
Glad to hear this performed again. It's been too long!
My favorite a cappella piece of all time!
Sublime! Still makes me cry.
Still makes me cry, every time I hear it.
Beautiful
This is exactly what I needed in 2020. Thank you
TEARS! I first heard this version in highschool when my choir teacher had our guys sing it and all of us ladies were JELLYY and in tears... you guys this will always be the best version... and you guys KILLED IT!
Beautiful rendition of Shenandoah. Never heard it with a Soprano taking lead. Loved it.
世界で一番美しい曲
Just perfect dynamics and control. Truly masterful.
Espetacular
Lovely! You gentlemen sound like one instrument, played by the same person. Lovely! 👏👏👏
Gotta LOVE resonant spaces
Heavenly sung...so beautiful.
Love Andy Berry's bass 🎶
Gorgeous. I can't stop listening to it!
The absolute best
What a wonderful recording. Thank you so much.
My goodness. Goosebumps over and over!
Just previewing. I'm seeing them live tomorrow evening. So looking forward to it!
Beautiful as always
Stunningly elegant and magnificent.
spectacular
no idea why I couldn't find this video for 5 months. seriously
These guys are fantastic!
Gorgeous, gorgeous! Thank you!

Put us in, coach!! Thanks for watching and for your words!
My team lost to the Chanticleers 🤦♂️. Guess they are multi-talented 🤣.

Dr. Erb's arrangement is the best. If you're so inclined, check out the performance of it in the ending credits of Oliver Stone's movie "Nixon."
nice
Perfection. Bravissimo!
What a beautiful rendition of this classic song. Where was it recorded?
Craneway Pavillion, Richmond, CA
@@winstontharp1840 Many thanks!
The dissonance in 1:41 is so memorable
Anyone know where I can get sheet music ? 😩😭❤️❤️❤️

What happened with the original crew? Most of the current singers are new
At least three of them have been with Chanticleer for 15 years. Andy Berry is the newest member, in his third year. See their website and the bios.
1:32 is so pretty
No way that little guy opening up like that...wow
Mister jigglypuff at the beginning is just amazing
I miss Eric..
The one person who disliked is a nerd
In all reality, this is an acapella video from a niche group. The ones who liked are in fact nerds. (myself included) the dislike is just a dick
O-O
Nowhere close to the recording they did long ago
i stumbled upon a cd. for some reason not much of a fun
I think it is great the group includes an Asian and an African American.
Ummm why wouldn't they? Entry is based on merit only!!!! Nothing else!!!!!
So sad thats what you take from this.
