- In a time of uncertainty and social isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic, members of Mosaic Whispers from throughout the years unite to sing their alumni song Sailor's Prayer virtually. 85 voices, 29 years.
Sailor's Prayer is written by Rod MacDonald, arranged by Jon Krivitzky, and sung by past and current members of Mosaic Whispers, the oldest all-gender a cappella group at Washington University in St. Louis. Sound mixing by P. Daniel Newman, video editing by Reynolds Whalen.
This beautiful song was written by Rod MacDonald an incredible singer songwriter based in Florida who should get more recognition that he does. His songs are profound and well written as witnessed by this amazing video. I hope more people will share this video and check out Rod's music. No, I do not work for him, just a big fan. LOL
Not only a magnificent performance by the Mosaic Whispers Virtual Choir, but also a great triumph for the composer, Rod MacDonald. Very beautiful indeed.
So beautiful ❤
Amazing. Thank you.
So beautiful! I legit just wept. Blend is absolutely perfect! I wasn't in any of the Wash U a cappella groups, but their concerts were always a really special experience for me. Thanks for this beautiful music.
CARLI!!!!! I'm so glad you watched this. I hope you're finding ways to keep getting that beautiful voice of yours out in the world right now, or enjoying a kind of sabbatical as I know that's an approach many are relishing right now (including myself in a lot of ways). Miss you!
I cried too!
This group has given our family so much joy and it just keeps coming, the voices, the blend, the music, and the people - thank you!!
That is wonderful. Goosepimples. God bless the sailors on ships everywhere. May God keep all harm and dangers away from you.
From a Wash U Amateur ('97) -- way to go!
Such a gift to share in this musical gathering. I had several friends in the Mosaic Whispers at WashU - they received so much joy from the collaboration and relationships in the group that it truly multiplied to enrich the lives of people throughout the campus. Beautiful people! Thank you!
Absolutely beautiful. Been 25 years since I was at school with Jon, I still miss the days when he was arranging "Kiss the Girl." I hope we can emerge from this unprecedented time so that my own son can begin his Wash U experiences. By the way, great to see that the vest still fits!
It seems to have shrunk a bit in storage...
Gorgeous harmony
Wonderful music. Beautiful people. Thanks for sending this Ellen Miller.
This is one of those pieces gave me shivers and made my hair stand up. Wonderful musicianship, harmonies, and visual affects. Awesome, just awesome!
Lovely, thank you!
Beautiful!! Thank you and God bless!
Jon - this was great! I remember going to MW concerts. Loved singing with you in Choir, too!
Fabulous job! Perfect for such a time as this! I have shared on Facebook and keep playing this song as it is so beautiful and such an encouragement. I was in choirs in school and since and appreciate all the hard work that goes into that perfect blend of harmonies and a lovely arrangement.
Nice job, Jon!
I believe (please correct me if I'm wrong here) that when Rod Macdonald wrote the song, he sang by himself and played guitar with it... The band Free Hot Lunch, from Madison, came up with the original a capella arrangement. We pretty much stole their version and brought it out to the faire..
I hope Rod Macdonald hears this version, and knows just how far his song has traveled, and how many people it has touched.
i cried too. this is beautiful! so moving. way to go!
Beautiful. Thank you Jonathan and the rest of the alumni for this reminder that we need to stand strong and keep sailing for another shore
Loved it! Thanks, Mosaic Whispers.
Lovely. Many thanks
Perfect...made me cry.
Thank you for your hard work to produce this beautiful inspiring song! 1000 x Thank you!
Wow!!!! This is such a blessing. Encore!
OH MY GOD! I wept. Thank you.
👏👏👏 Beautiful. Thank you!
Dammit, I love that song. And now I have something in my eyes.
Thank you for sharing that, everyone.
Rod just posted this on Facebook. What an incredible version!
always loved your sound. still do.
Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks so much, George!
Such a lovely arrangement, Jon! Thank you, choir, for your beautiful voices. :)
Terrific!
Bravo !!!
Incredibly beautiful!!! Is the sheet music available anywhere? I would love for one of the groups I sing with to do this arrangement!
I want to sing with you all during quarantine,can I sing with you all?
I would *love* to know the software used to make that video! What an amazing song!
Final Cut Pro for the video, ProTools for the audio (I believe)!
I'm glad to see this question (and answer), but what I am eager to know is what support/instructions did the singers receive, to be able to produce solos that were able to be synchronized so beautifully??
Mary Taylor, great question! We’ve been singing this song together at reunions for years and years so we’re very used to singing it together. We all sang along to the same recording of us singing the song at our last big reunion, and I included beeps before the recording started to make it easier to align when editing. It’s a time-consuming process but rewarding in the end!
Hahahahaha haha!! singing! disliked!
