    Text by George Matheson:
    O Love that will not let me go,
    I rest my weary soul in thee;
    I give thee back the life I owe,
    That in thy ocean depths its flow
    May richer, fuller be.
    O Joy that seeks me through pain,
    I cannot close my heart to thee;
    I trace the rainbow through the rain,
    And feel the promise is not vain,
    That morn shall tearless be.

    This is a stunning performance of a gorgeous piece I did not know until I heard of it through a choral director's post on Facebook. (My students are so excited about performing it next year!). I know there are other performances on youtube, but I'm not interested in looking to listen to one as this one is so utterly satisfying in pacing and phrasing, with gorgeous tone color from the young women and terrific long-range musical architecture. Bravo to Maestro Maunu and Arvada West High School Singers! Your great talent and musical depth is deeply gratifying to the soul! Thank you.

    Since I was a child I was delighted with the sweet and angelic voice of the soprano, in this powerful choir I see beautiful sopranos and against tall; Apotheosis a masterful interpretation.

    O LOVE THAT WILT NOT LET ME GO (George Matheson)
    O Love that wilt not let me go,
    I rest my weary soul in thee;
    I give thee back the life I owe,
    That in thine ocean depths its flow
    May richer, fuller be.
    O light that followest all my way,
    I yield my flickering torch to thee;
    My heart restores its borrowed ray,
    That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
    May brighter, fairer be.
    O Joy that seekest me through pain,
    I cannot close my heart to thee;
    I trace the rainbow through the rain,
    And feel the promise is not vain,
    That morn shall tearless be.
    O Cross that liftest up my head,
    I dare not ask to fly from thee;
    I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
    And from the ground there blossoms red
    Life that shall endless be.

    You have done justice to this. It makes me tear up a little as the closing of school prevented my Concert Choir from finishing this deeply heartfelt song. Congratulations to this women’s choir for a beautiful performance.

    So how many times did you have to sing this to get all these camera angles? It looks like at least three, one for when you were in choral formation, and two to capture both angles in ring formation.
    (And that assumes you had more than one camera for the first part.)

      That's a really strange observation, but a bit of simple research would have given you the answer: 'The racial makeup of the city was 89.08% White, 0.9% African American, 0.8% Native American, 2.2% Asian, 0.1% Pacific Islander, 3.5% from other races, and 2.7% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 13.7% of the population.' (Wikipedia) The city is 90% White.

    I can't watch the conductor because the music (choir) and his movements are completely out of sync. The choir performed beautifully.
