1:36-3:00 is such a hidden gem in this piece. Singing this in choir everyone complained about sitting through all those rests but those brass chorale parts are absolutely sublime.
I got to sing this under Craig Jessop a long time ago. The second movement is my favorite one. Here I am more than a decade later still looking up performances of it from time to time.
3:13 to 4:20. Singing these chords and contrasts with such dramatic buildup is as tingly a moment as any Messiah performance I've done. Awesome to be right in it!
Rutter takes you to the gates of Paradise…
Played trombone on this in March 1986 and again in the fall of that year; March performance was conducted by John Rutter.
What tBone part ?? 3rd is the BEST…
@@RobertRoyer-i2o I played first; Ann Greenhow, USN (retired) played second; Kelly Amidon played third.

Already been said many times before, but: this is one of the most beautiful pieces ever composed. And the performance is sublime

One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.
Agreed
Yep
This is my favorite part of this incredible composition.

I sang this in Virginia State Chorus in high school I believe in 1981. The section beginning at 3:12 has given me goosebumps then and ever since.
This is probably my favorite recording of this movement T.T
I'm doing this for my HS winter concert. (Also I'm getting Zelda vibes from the intro.)
such a wonderful piece of music, thank you.
Wonderful volces!!!
Damn. It didn’t need to go so hard but it did
the soloist, wow
