Still the best performance of a choir, I 've ever heard! Power, dynamik, everything fits as it should be. Whenever I click this, I must listen to it several times.

@Leviwosc You have some a valid point. I asked because I just don't understand when some people automatically dislike/look down upon music just because of its religious background. I'd like to add that the church often acted as a patron to composers/musicians like Bach and that this support gave them more means to write music. But the past is the past, and I guess the biggest shame is that there aren't more great composers nowadays...
@agrebelamy89: Of course there were. He could have worked as a composer for a renowned orchestra, he could have worked for a royal or imperial family. Bach was good enough, but he chose for the church.
Just an FYI, Bach believed that it was a waste of time to write anything other than religious music. He didn't compose that many masses either because he wasn't Catholic, although he wrote one of the greatest Masses ever: Mass in B minor BWV232. Bach used a popular secular style based on opera form for much of his larger sacred works, he was quite avant-garde. It might interest you that during the renaissance, great composers remixed secular songs into religious works frequently.
I don't know that he considered it a waste of time to write secular music. He certainly had fun with the Coffee Cantata! He did however, say that he wrote all his music, religious and secular, for the glory of God.

@Leviwosc Why a pity? If we look back in time, much of the music developed because of religion and some of the best music and composers come from religious roots.
I needed some background music for cleaning my weapons. Hey, don't scoff - David had his sling; Samson his jawbone of an ass; Elijah his fires from heaven; Moses his staff; Peter his sword (and all the disciples were told to carry one); - What liberals confuse is the following scripture: "Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." - Matthew 26:52 Should Noah not have built the Ark; should Moses had not rescued those from slavery; should David had not fought Goliath; should Samson had not killed those opposed; should we have not stood against Hitler; should we have not stood against slavery after having partaken in it? Liberals only understand a watered-down, false version of a Jesus of their own creation, who in some of their eyes smokes dope and sings Kumbaya and would have us believe that there are more ways than one to God, than through the blood of Christ - which is a bold-faced lie.

@194Anonymous: True, you're absolutely right. But I pity that. Look at Johann Sebastian Bach for example. One of the greatest composers in German history. He wasted all his talent and all his life to church, composing masses and other religious music. I get sad, thinking of the idea of what this man could have achieved if he composed works for other institutes than the church. So much potential wasted IMHO. But you're right... lots of great music comes from religious roots.
This is why I love to hear the University of Utah Singers. They are absolutely marvelous!!
What a marvelous chorus. Very resonant and professional.
I heard this song when i was a young teen. Now I'm a young adult and it brings me great joy to hear this song again after so many years.
That is so cool. I'm such a huge lover of choral music that I've stopped listening to that other stuff that's out there today. I love this choir!
WOW!!! I've never heard this piece before. The first two minutes had me wondering how this choir would sound doing Randall Thompson's ALLELUIA.

Where can I get your music sheet?
awesome,,how to get the score of this song? I really like it.
@Leviwosc what's wrong with that? by the way, Bach composed plenty of secular music
@agrebelamy89: Of course there were. He could have worked as a composer for a renowned orchestra, he could have worked for a royal or imperial family. Bach was good enough, but he chose for the church.
Whos the guy at 1'16 ? My girlfriend thinks he's a looker 😎

Bach was Lutheran. They celebrate mass as well, although not every day like in Catholic churches.
