You are all AWESOME! I can't stop watching your videos. Your tone, blend, pitch, and vowel placement are flawless. Please do Eric Whitacre's "I Thank You God For Most This Amazing Day". I'm sure you all will do it more justice than any other version on youtube (including the original recording). Much respect, and keep making beautiful music.
What a perfect sense of ensemble you all have acheived! Impeccable blend and overall intonation. Beautiful, rich sounds. Simply gorgeous tones, especially the sopranos! Great job, Antioch.
You are very good and this song is really beautiful! My choir sang it during one of our last performances. Write this in the search. You're going to love it for sure! Corale Novarmonia - Sleep (E. Whitacre)
@JoshuaBrounan1 Funny you should request "I Thank You". We have not performed that piece because it splits 13 ways. For our upcoming March 30 concert, we will be singing it since we will have an extra soprano and tenor!
Superb performance! At least 4 or 5 people in this group seem to be in Trinity, Wall Street's professional choir. Perhaps the acoustic, but you seem to make as much impact as Stephen Layton's Polyphony recording---and every bit as well tuned. Thanks for putting this on youtube! I will send this to several friends across the USA.
This group is quite impressive! What a wonderful performance of such a beautiful song. This is my favorite Whitaker piece; just a tad ahead of October (Alleluia), and Water Night. It's very hard for a small group to sing this piece and keep it held together, especially during the varying sections of dissonance; in a small group, if all the voices are not exactly on time or pitch and it stands out and can lose the listener in those moments. Though, if the time and pitch isn't nailed 100% in a large group, it all blends together for the most part. Kudos Antioch!
@antiochonline And that impact was achieved with, literally, 1/2 of the singers in Stephen Layton's group. All the more impressive, I would say! Once in a while even Americans can get something right, and this group has obviously done that, in spades!
Really good voices and choir, just great! But perhaps conductor's gestual movements don't help in the pp moments... All the sound could be made with a 30% of his gestual indications. But, actually... who usually looks at the conductor? ;p
Have to say that I'm really REALLY proud to be a part of this performance!
It's amazing! I'm overwhelmed every time I listen to it. My favourite performance of this.
You should be...it's beautifully done...just stunning!

Just beautiful! When I go to the other world, I'll know I'm in heaven when I hear this lovely choir and its music.
Amazing. Brilliant sound and outstanding performance! Working and singing in such ansamble must be a wonderful experience! Go Antioch!!!

STUNNING - BEAUTIFUL! BRAVO! I truly applaud your efforts and your outstanding choral sound.

It's wonderful! You are very talented! :)
Pure emotion. This choir is fantastic!

Wonderful piece and performance. WOW!

excellent tonality and blend. best live version I've heard with less than 20 people...If not the best live version period. Very good guys.
I really would love to visit this cathedral...

@antiochonline YEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!! I can't wait! Please upload the video ASAP
Tried to spot people taking breaths during the long notes, couldn't. Even when there was just one person singing the part. Wow.
Wow, intense! I'm glad I stumbled upon this one.
Fabulous, your sound is so deep! Congratulations!
@antiochonline
Fantastic! How fortuitous!
those acoustics are insane
Any chance of performing Eric's Alleluia?
Please Alleluia Eric withacre

@LuthienMoonLight i think its Lux Aurumque :P but yess that would be sooooo awesome if they did!!
@GpD79 Thank you!
ahh... this made my day
have mercy

@jockboy69 Thank you!
@LuthienMoonLight Lol i dont think this choir has quite enough members to cover all of the parts :) but that's too bad they dont!
i'd like to know how they divided the parts
OHMY THAT'S HOW IT IS SUPPOSTED

@hughestenor As well you should be!
don't you need a countertenor?
TO SOUND :0
