My son and his beautiful girl chose this piece to be sung at their wedding by eight very close and very accomplished musician friends. So, so perfect - not a dry eye in the house. This is such a different performance but I come back to it time and time again and t never fails to move me.
And Ruth said."Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee. For wither thou goest I will go and, where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God: Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me". Ruth 1: 16-17
If I could do only one thing to soften and gladden the world it would be to encourage every single young person to sing, or at least listen to, choral music like this--and so many other good and great pieces. How can we harbor anything but beautiful thoughts when hearing such exquisite sound? Producing such sound, not to mention the power of the lyrics, is a gift beyond all words.
+Frank Dunn Agree completely, and see it every year in students who choose to sing in the choir. Even after they've left the school, they come back year after year to choral events, and say how much they miss singing and how much it shaped their personalities and influenced later choices.
So, so true. The music of today's world just doesn't seem to pull them back to keep singing. I miss the choral music like this and so thankful for learning of Dan Forrest.
It is this type of music that I believe has the power to change people's hearts. Power to unite people regardless of race, religion, political beliefs. Power to change the world. This type of music is so beautiful, So pure, and everytime I hear music like this I think "How could anything so beautiful and pure bring anger and harm".
Absolutely beautiful! I ran across this song while listening to the John Rutter Pandora station a while ago and fell in love with it. I then found it on RUclips, and today found this video here. I've been involved in choral music much of my life, and sacred choral music can move hearts like nothing else can in my opinion. This particular song moves me to tears every time I hear it. And seeing an entire choir holding hands and singing it made it extra special. To all of you who performed this thank you, and keep it up! Please remember what you felt singing this. You can't buy this kind of heavenly power, and it's something that will bless you and others all your life. God bless you!
This is the song of Ruth, I just realised. And Ruth said, entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee: for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God

Wow your comment really moved me! I wish you all the love in this world and that you know the love of Jesus because nobody in this world will ever love you so much as he will! Sometimes in life you will meet others whom God has put in your path to love you unconditionally! It will be God's little love note even if its just on a smaller scale to remind you about his infinite love towards you and one day you will be together forever!
My Alma mater college choir just posted a photo and I said to myself, I’d recognize that room anywhere… came back to this video after years and sure enough it’s the same space!
Once again, very impressed with the sopranos in particular. Their wonderful way as a unit with each other and the rest of the choir. Good job. One more thing. It could be the mics limitations or my device, but Gary Schwartshoff, I think I'd tell the basses to push them some more. They've got it. Make the sopranos earn it, if you know what I mean.
Yes, I like that idea too, but this SWAYING while choirs are performing is VERY DETRACTING. I don't when this phenomenon got started with college and university choirs across America, but as a long-time choral director I have to say it looks out of context with the music and overall performance. It just DOESN'T work, and it needs to stop.
Entreat me not to leave you, or to turn back from following after you. Where you go I will go, and wherever you lodge I will lodge. Your people will be my people and your God will be my God. Where you fall i will fall and there I will be buried. May the LORD do so to me and more also if anything but death parts you and me. RUTH 1 16-17 You are my family. 🏴🇮🇱✝️✡ You are not alone.

God bless you. The Jewish people are not alone. 🏴🇮🇱✝️✡
Yes, I agree with all of the comments, this is one of the most haunting pieces of choral music I have ever heard. It does move one to tears.
Yep
The organic reverberation in that building is otherworldliness
what building is that anyway?
@@tallguy779 This is the Art Museum in Milwaukee, WI
@@emmamcilquham4871 nice! Buildings with good acoustics for the win.

Music like this... It's a shame my generation doesn't appreciate it.
@@minnystrawb8453 Yeah, thankfully there are a handful of us who decide to be weird and enjoy classical/choral/etc.

Elenaroy the parabatai mortal instruments oath is based off this song!
Where thou diest, will I die, and there will I be buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if ought but death part thee and me.
u forgot the next part
I wish someone loved me as much as Ruth loved Naomi lol
I understand but know Jesus loves me even more than Ruth loved Naomi. May His love permeate you in all reality.

This is one of the most powerful love songs I've ever heard. Those chords ....!
Barnabas Johnson it’s a widowed daughter in law speaking to her widowed mother in law from the book of Ruth in the Bible.
I absolutely LOVE that concert space. Good performance, I enjoyed it.
Great consonants.... Entreat me not to.... SO good
Heard this for the second time and I am so entranced by the blending of these wonderful voices!
gorgeous chords at the beginning
This is absolutely beautiful, it must be amazing to be apart of a choir that can perform this so wonderfully.
A life experience that will probably never be forgotten!
It all looks so commonplace of the choir but their voices blending so uniformly into a glorious presentation.in this curved architectural bldg.
Stunning composition. Well done Dan.
My Alma mater college choir just posted a photo and I said to myself, I’d recognize that room anywhere… came back to this video after years and sure enough it’s the same space!
This song melts my heart everytime
This is a Simply Gorgeous piece and from one of my favorite Bible stories.
This is still one of my favorite songs, i learned it over 5y ago and it's still so good
Sounds alot like the middle of his second movement from Requiem for the Living! Love it!
I haven't heard a song that made me miss choir so much until I listened to this. It's breathtaking.
Hands down my favorite performance I've heard of this song. It is one of my favorites
Absolutely beautiful work here Dr. Schwartzhoff. Love the Milwaukee Art Museum. Your group's music fits that acoustic so very well. Blessings. Dan

this piece got me through a really bad breakup, choir music for the win fr
Gorgeous! Reminds me of Eric Whitacre.
Oh my goodness, that bass!
A good bass can be the difference between a mediocre choir and a world-class one. This choir has several good basses.
My choir is performing this and, FYI, the Basses finish on a low B flat (oh to be a Russian Bass)!
1:57 so good
Oh my goodness.. STUNNING performance!!
Beautiful choir! Absolutely wonderful.😭🤟
most beautiful music. reminds me of a piece called "prayer" by Rene Clausen.
Don’t you just treasure that piece?!?!
Still my favorite recording to date. I hope to introduce my Fiancée to this song.
0:28 that chord....
Thomazzo95 You heard it too
Yup. What creativity to come up with it - and what vocal talent for the choir to be able to sing it! Beautiful!
Like the middle of "O Magnum Mysterium" -- a chord that makes the heart bend and mend. Glorious!
Chills. Thank you for sharing this!
This is beautiful :)
beautiful
This is beautiful.
Excellent clarity and blend.
Very Beaultiful! Congratulations!!!
My choir holds hands too
Yes, I like that idea too, but this SWAYING while choirs are performing is VERY DETRACTING.

@@ThomMusician I totally agree. It's has "woke" vibes -- a travesty.
My Lord at 6:21 !
A very good peice of music :D
Entreat me not to leave you, or to turn back from following after you. Where you go I will go, and wherever you lodge I will lodge. Your people will be my people and your God will be my God. Where you fall i will fall and there I will be buried. May the LORD do so to me and more also if anything but death parts you and me.

Is this in the Oculus in New York, next to the 9/11 Memorial?
It was at the Milwaukee Art Museum. Amazing acoustics!
