- René Clausen conducts Bob Chilcott's poignant arrangement of the U2 song. "MLK" has been written "as sort of a lullaby for an idea that was dying in our country: the idea of non-violence. Bob Chilcott is a former member of the "Kings Singers".
Wonderful G1 from the basses at the end!
this CONTINUES to remain the best version of all the choirs
So beautiful! And that bass2 note at the end WOW!
Beautiful! I love the Thundercloud moment at
My goodness that bass tho....
It's been a couple years since I heard this on RUclips, and something brought me back "home" to this arrangement. It took me a while to find someone who was in this specific choir, and they alerted me to one of the bass singers that BEASTED the last note. I'm thinking his name was Spencer, and he's 6th from the left on the top row...the soloist. I'm still amazed at this arrangement...lots of "rubs" and resolutions that are awesome. Thank you Rene Clausen and Bob Chilcott for your contributions to this masterpiece. Two words: SIMPLISTICALLY AWESOME! Edit: while battling a bug of some kind on 2/6, I decided to go for the end notes in the B1 line, seeing as how my voice was extremely low for me being ill. My hat is in my hands and whomever is hitting those notes - BRAVO. I was able to keep up through the first... so let it rain... but failed epically with the ensuing notes.
Can we talk about that bass near the end though because it was perfect.
I’m currently singing this in my choir and let me say that this is unbelievably beautiful, tearing up and then the huge THUNDER CLOUD near the end really jerks you into reality and it’s just and amazing experience just listening to it
I sang this song in high school, almost 10 years ago. I cried when I sang it then, and cry now when I hear it. This is absolutely stunning! The beauty of this song and this choir sends shivers through me. Thank you.
This is so well done. Beautiful job.
This never ever gets old. Absolutely superb!!!
I sang this arrangement with our choir at a fellow student's funeral when I was in high school. I cried pretty hard afterwards. I had just gotten to know the person and started to get close to them. They were a great human and they deserved something as beautiful as this, I can only hope we did it a modicum of justice.
I can't get enough of this piece of music!
GORGEOUS-SIMPLY gorgeous..
Stunningly beautiful.
I love this performance so much. I'm conducting this for a concert on Friday, and I was looking for versions to hone what kind of sound I want from my choir, but I couldn't find the right fit until I came across this one. I don't think I'll draw out the notes as long as this choir did; I wanna keep them short and sweet (but not TOO short). Regardless, this piece took me away for a moment. Absolutely lovely.
Did they get a friggin' Russian oktavist in there?!
EEEEEE!!!! THE BASSES ARE AMAZING
this gave me shivers, that bass he needs something omg he is awesome
My choir did this song in high school. God this was beautiful
