I need to sing this song!!!!! AHHHHHH!!! That chord at 2:02 just melts my spirit! I'm in love with this song. If I ever become a conductor I will be using this song.
You are an amazing artist. I love the feeling your music gives. I love the dynamics and how you do your songs. Please please keep going you truly are a genius and an insperation.
This piece is absolutely gorgeous! The chords starting at 4:01 and moving forward with the basses being higher than the altos and then the sopranos being the lowest voice just gave me the chills! That was awesome!
Right - and if you look, the text says "reflects." So if you took the normal voice leading (without crossing higher voices and lower voices) and REFLECTED them, you would get the sopranos below the basses. Clever, eh?
Thank you so much to Dr. Andaya Mitos Hart for introducing me to this beautiful piece at PMEA's District 7 Choral Festival this year! My director had us perform Eric Whitacre's Lux Aurumque, and I first thought this sounded a whole lot like his work, but surprisingly, it wasn't. Mr. Elder, you certainly deserve the recognition from Mr. Whitacre for this piece, as it's such an amazingly beautiful piece! My favorite part has to be the "resplendant"s at measures 27 through 33.
Before looking at the comments, I thought to myself, "this piece has similar chords and balance as Eric Whitacre's music" soon enough, I discover the familiarity is the group The Eric Whitacre Singers, now my life is complete.
I need help finding a song I've been looking for, for almost 9 years. I once heard a choir singing a song. And the chorus said walk through this world with me and then you'll see how lovely life can be. It wasn't the old country song. I hope someone can help
+New King George Jones? www.amazon.com/Walk-Through-This-World-With/dp/B001U5Q1PM. I know you said it wasn't the country song, but it was probably a choral arrangement of same.

Reminds me of Samuel Barber´s Agnus Dei (arr. Adagio for Strings), see ruclips.net/video/YVowLNuV4Zk/видео.html SAMUEL BARBER’S Adagio for Strings begins softly, with a single note, a B flat, played by the violins. Two beats later the lower strings enter, creating an uneasy, shifting suspension as the melody begins a stepwise motion, like the hesitant climbing of stairs. In around eight minutes the piece is over, harmonically unresolved, never coming to rest. If any music can come close to conveying the effect of a sigh, or courage in the face of tragedy, or hope, or abiding love, it is this... Adagio, his most famous composition and arguably the most often-heard work of classical music written in the last century. The Adagio is a shape shifter, widely appropriated in film and television. In recent years it has also become an unexpected hit for a number of pop musicians... After writing the quartet in 1936, Barber later adapted it for string orchestra and created a choral setting, Agnus Dei... “You have to be a rock in the middle of nowhere not to have your gut wrenched out by this music,” said Ida Kavafian, a violinist and a Curtis Institute faculty member... “There are tremendous suspensions over the bar line, places where Barber creates a great tension by changing harmonies, staggered in such a way that the dissonances form and then resolve. It’s all about tension.”... Given its premiere by Arturo Toscanini in 1938 with the NBC Orchestra, the Adagio leapt the bounds of the concert hall early on. After it was broadcast over the radio in 1945 at the announcement of the death of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, it became associated with state and celebrity funerals... as well as being heard in the movies “Platoon,”“The Elephant Man”and “Lorenzo’s Oil.”On television it has been in both “The Simpsons”and “South Park.”... “But it’s pure magic,” the director David Lynch said recently by phone of the piece, which he used in the final tragic scene of “The Elephant Man” in 1980. “It’s deeply spiritual and simply beautiful.” Mr. Lynch was in the midst of shooting his film, lying on the sofa on an off day, when the Adagio came on the radio. “Within a few milliseconds,” he said, “the whole final scene of ‘The Elephant Man’ unfolded inside my head.”... For his 1986 film about the Vietnam War, Oliver Stone juxtaposed the transcendent music with images of war, and it became widely known as “the music from ‘Platoon.’ ”... The Adagio has since been recorded and performed often by ensembles of the Army. The Army will host its own Barber centennial celebration, honoring Barber’s service as a corporal during World War II... “The tessitura are very high and very low,” Major Bamonte said, referring to the extreme ranges for the string instruments. “We have 21 players on a good day, when everyone is here, and the piece really requires 45 to give that full sound. The players just feel too exposed. But we wanted to celebrate this great American composer, especially since Barber was a veteran himself.”... Barber composed the Adagio movement during a summer in Europe with a fellow composer and Curtis student, Gian Carlo Menotti, with whom Barber had a lifelong professional and personal relationship. Barber sent a letter to Cole that read in part, “I have just finished the slow movement and it’s a knockout!.", see www.nytimes.com/2010/03/07/arts/music/07barber.html?ref=arts&fbclid=IwAR38eZkQlrA6qkiCy_wT-4g3e_DqZ5uZ9TjAhnuDOSVADFU7Fa04CvaDHTM

This song is such a gift to the world.
You can hear Whitacre in every note. Perfection.
And it's not even his composition
God is smiling down upon your amazing talent, and my heart is full.
This is beyond beauty, oh how wonderful choral sounds can be!
This is amazing. It goes beyond what most call music, because this touches the soul.
I wish I could sing this wonderful song in a choir. It just calms down your soul.
I'm singing it in choir and it's NOT calming to learn 😹
Never have I been more touched by music...
I have listened to this SO MANY TIMES
Such a beautiful performance of a piece of music that touches your heart and soul.
Most beautiful choir piece I have ever heard. Thank you for your music

Many of the cadences and chord progressions are almost exactly the same. Hehe that's the exact song I thought of
This piece is very beautiful- by far the most amazing piece I've listened to :)

So enchanting!
reminds me of Gjeilo’s Serenity (O Magnum) and a Whitacre piece. this piece still absolutely stuns me
Gosh, this is lovely. Thank you so much for bringing it into being and uploading it, Mr E. :)
Chills. Every time ❤

Wow, some chords, like a lot, have such emotions in them ! Fantastic piece, good job !
Really nice work Daniel!
I’d absolutely love to hear a good symphonic band bring this to life.

Sarah Sebers The piece itself sounds a lot like Whitacre too
I'm telling my choir director to play this song!
Bravissimo!!!!!!!!!!
The greatest last 8 measures of a choral piece.
agreed
dude, this piece...
wowza
sehr bewegt

Ok I know this may sound like a stupid question but is there a software that will allow me to type in lyrics while an AI (artifici intelligence) function recites the lyrics in real time?
Thank you sir. If I couldn't find one I was just going to start writing code for one. Lol
