@@Adeliegentoo BLACK EXCELLENCE!! They didn't mince words. You clearly don't have an understanding of our purpose for saying that, so please don't attempt to correct what you don't first understand.
Top of the line. Off the chain. Anything and everything beyond excellent describes their performance. Can’t believe there are fools who gave this a thumbs down. Clearly they’re tone deaf. Superior job all the way!!! Principal James Weldon Johnson is in heaven applauding this choir for fiercely beautifying his work.
Beautiful and amazing. I so enjoy hearing these young gifted...well trained members of this choir. God bless for sharing this special rendition of Lift every voice.
I have enjoyed so many of their concerts.I have met quite a few of the choir members.Delightful humble sweet respectful Christian kids.God bless you for blessing me❤ .
I have to add: Other choirs on here sound wonderful, but I love how the faces of these singers are sincere. They believe the words they are singing. Thank you for being all in!
I agree. Major kudos to the pianist. His accompaniment is more than just a bunch of notes as he delivers such passion as he plays. I always look forward to the RUclips videos where he is accompanying this blessed choral group.
This is, hands down, the best rendition of “Lift Every Voice and Sing” that I’ve ever heard. The composer, Dr. James Weldon Johnson, would be so proud of you all!! The students’ voices have beautiful tonal quality. I’m going to listen to other pieces they have done!! Thank you Aeolians!!!!!
Awesome song. Powerful powerful. God bless the conductor, pianist and amazing participants!!! (side note - almost choked laughing at the sweatshirt 2:44 "Sorry I'm late - I didn't want to come." 100!!!
OMG! Listening to the Aeolians sing is such a blessing! My heart and my mind are so filled with HALLELUJAH (God's Praise) every time! You are truly "#1". Thank you.
Thank you all so much. I know as performers you get a level of satisfaction with great work; but I need you to know that I'm sitting here in my office at work in tears. Lest we stray? Lest our feet? Drunk with the wine of the world we forget thee? True to our God true to our native land!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God bless and keep yall wherever you may be now.
Stellar performance all the way. I’m sharing this. Makes me so proud to be appreciative of music and the creativity of my fellow brothers and sisters. Love love love this!!!!!
WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW ! This is the best rendition of this song I have ever heard. WHO IS THIS GROUP? Stupendous. This song needs such youthful vigor -- it gives it its true meaning. Every one of those singers looked and sounded like they believed every single word of that song. Just fantastic. It showed me what this song really is about.
This is indeed nourishment to the thirsty soul. I see this video is from 2018. I wonder how they did.............. They are certainly a talented ensemble. (and I LOVE the sweatshirt that kep popping into view "sorry I'm late. I didn't want to come.' Oh man; I wish i could give those out to my students!!! )
He PLAYED HIS BEHIND OFF!!!!! Their voices have the blood of Jesus on them. When you cough on key, when you sneeze in perfect, THIS is where you belong lol
James Weldon Johnson, J. Rosamond Johnson Lift every voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring Ring with the harmonies of Liberty Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies Let it resound loud as the rolling sea Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us Facing the rising sun of our new day begun Let us march on till victory is won Stony the road we trod Bitter the chastening rod Felt in the days when hope unborn had died Yet with a steady beat Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered Out from the gloomy past Till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast God of our weary years God of our silent tears Thou who has brought us thus far on the way Thou who has by Thy might Led us into the light Keep us forever in the path, we pray Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee Shadowed beneath Thy hand May we forever stand True to our God True to our native land Our native land
@@lindagibson744. Thank you Linda. That Name of the Lord Jesus Christ is forever to be praised, reverenced and bowed down to ... worshipped. Thank you.
As an HBCU choir alumni, it's safe to say this piece is seared into the consciousness of all of who have performed.
FACT!!!
Just how they articulate "God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way..." really touches my core.
Whew!!!! That diction and oneness of voice....so clean!!!! Absolutely beautiful!
I am a choral director. I would LOVE to sit and observe your rehearsal one day... I wanna know how you work on the music. You are so great.
I totally agree! Justice was done to the piece. Best choral rendition I've listened to so far.
Black excellence overload. I can't take it 😭🙌🏾✊🏾
Excellence overload. Not just black. They'd be great whomever they are.
Absolutely BLACK EXCELLENCE!!! BEAUTIFUL
Glory To God
Nearly in tears every time I hear them.

I just clapped in my living room all by myself listening to this! Now THESE are some voices!
The dude in the hoodie is my hero. 😂
I have listened to a few of their songs and every one of them has me in tears. 😭 They're exceptional.
Love the uptempo, upbeat, spirited opening of this arrangement. A terrific performance throughout! Wow!!
One of the greatest choirs I have ever heard/seen, hands down! Amazing work, everyone. WOW.

Good LORD I was NOT READY for this arrangement! My ears were in musical heaven from the pianist, dynamics, blend...I mean just pure greatness!!!
Exactly the same or more in the heaven than You😅. Just wonder 🥺!
I wish more choirs sang like this... tons of vibrato and such a beautiful, full sound. Gives me chills
Splendid! Absolutely Bel Canto!
Pristine vocals and award winning interpretation - Dr. Ferdinand!
Awesome interpretation! "Lift Every Voice and Sing," Aeolians! Singing of the highest class and fantastic precision and unusually exact intonation!
Was blessed to sing this under the direction of the arranger Dr Roland Cater at Hampton! This choir is amazing. Love everything they do.
This performance of Carter's arrangement is truly extraordinary. It's the best one out there and they made it their own.
That resolve at 3:39 made me lift my hands in worship... it was soooooo smooth!!!!
Beautiful and amazing. I so enjoy hearing these young gifted...well trained members of this choir. God bless for sharing this special rendition of Lift every voice.
I have enjoyed so many of their concerts.I have met quite a few of the choir members.Delightful humble sweet respectful Christian kids.God bless you for blessing me❤

Beautiful American Voices singing a beautiful hymn.
Thank you for sharing. I am learning, growing. Happy Juneteenth.
Beautiful!!! That young man on the piano is truly tickling the ivory.
I remember singing this song back in high school and I could still remember the notes for Bass! This is a song to remember until the day you die!
Still the best performance I can find on RUclips! My 4th and 5th graders are inspired by y'all every year.
I have to add: Other choirs on here sound wonderful, but I love how the faces of these singers are sincere. They believe the words they are singing. Thank you for being all in!
Beautiful harmony. Lovely pianist.
Outstanding!

Keep music excellence alive!!!!!
Beautiful and uplifting. Thank you.
The absolute best performance of this song I have heard in my 60 years of living!
Tried to sing this years ago with my highschool choir... them notes ain’t easy on the throat let me tell you😂😂
Singing it in college as a 1st soprano, I got winded every time 🤣
My daughter sang in a sda choir and she used to say after she carried the big high notes how tired she was.It felt like work😂😂
😂😂😂
Big oof im doing this in college rn
Our Church choir sings this for MLK day and yes, we first sopranos feel it! But what a blessing to be able to hit those notes!
Could not have come at a better time right now... oof what a rendition!
So heavenly. I pray my white acc heart. Will be aloud to share a place among gods spiritually atoned performers
Outstanding choir.
Absolutely beautiful voices ❤️❤️
Goosebumps !! Absolutely stunning, from start to finish, and your pianist is SO good. “Lift Every Voice”…indeed.

James Weldon Johnson, J. Rosamond Johnson
Lift every voice and sing
Till earth and heaven ring
Ring with the harmonies of Liberty
Let our rejoicing rise
High as the listening skies
Let it resound loud as the rolling sea
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us
Facing the rising sun of our new day begun
Let us march on till victory is won
Stony the road we trod
Bitter the chastening rod
Felt in the days when hope unborn had died
Yet with a steady beat
Have not our weary feet
Come to the place for which our fathers sighed?
We have come over a way that with tears has been watered
We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered
Out from the gloomy past
Till now we stand at last
Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast
God of our weary years
God of our silent tears
Thou who has brought us thus far on the way
Thou who has by Thy might Led us into the light
Keep us forever in the path, we pray
Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee
Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee
Shadowed beneath Thy hand
May we forever stand
True to our God
True to our native land
Our native land
Yes, yes yes yes yesssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!
What a choir!
JESUS... listen here... i thought the tempo was too fast but yall put a HOLE in that bridge .. .. jaw dropt!!!
Jesus Christ! This is great
Can you use another name. The name you use is Holy.
@@lindagibson744. Thank you Linda. That Name of the Lord Jesus Christ is forever to be praised, reverenced and bowed down to ... worshipped. Thank you.
