Still gives me chills.
I learned this song in 5th grade. I was 10 years old. In high school our director was a product of Concordia Moorhead. He studied under Paul Christensen. We always ended our concerts with Beautiful Savior. My former high school choir is not allowed to perform Christian music anymore. How sad. Christmas Eve 2023 I will offer Beautiful Savior as a solo vocal prelude to our Christmas Eve service. As long as I am able I will perform this song. I am now 71. This piece is timeless. Well done, choir. I offer sincere thanks and praise to you. Soli Deo Gloria.
Well crafted, exquisite vowel shapes. Huge impact on the sound.
If you have no tears hearing this you aren't paying attention.
Some people just cry easier than others though ❤
This is indeed timeless. I never tire of hearing it. My men's chorus will be performing this in our spring season.
I love this song so much! I'm Catholic but I teach at a Lutheran school. This is where I was introduced to this beautiful song.
As a Catholic, do you not recognize the melody as the Catholic anthem, "Oh God of Lovliness"?
I went to Lutheran school and learned this beautiful hymn.
I love listening to this, I wish it was given more likes, or that I could like it about 100 times!
I love choral music! I t has a strebgth non othere music has. Brought me to tears.
Lovely to hear this piece performed with such excellence. Well done all. Praise Yeshua!
I like the tradition of the handholding, breath unity, legendary.
I stan an ensemble that grasps hands during performances
Nice job. I sang that song about 160 times with the Concordia Choir under the direction of Paul J Christiansen. It was an automatic stand o.
I never tire of this

Thank you. I’ve always liked this song.
A beautiful performance of a beautiful song, added to by the hands. How unifying.
LOVE this song. I grew up hearing it in our LDS world of worship, beautiful rendition. I love that they are holding hands -- in spite of the times. 2020…
OF COURSE it's a LUTHERAN college!!! You performed it like the Angels themselves. Thank-you. Thank-you. Chills

Thank you!
So absolutely beautiful
Thanks to all of you for these warm compliments! I hope you will check out our other videos on RUclips!
Gorgeous!
I love singing bass. But arrangements like this sometimes make me wish was - just once - a tenor. 3:25.
There are so many things to love about this performance, not the least of which is that you refrain from the widespread but unmusical--and to my mind incomprehensible--custom of putting a not-in-the-published-music fermata over the first syllable of "sorrowing" (and analogous spots in the introduction and the final stanza), a practice which apparently goes back to F Melius Christiansen himself. Inexplicably. Beyond that, the intonation is overall quite good and the sound is pleasing. The sopranos deliver the melody of the first sung stanza with sweetness and conviction. Your "conductorial" take on the piece is eminently musical.The microphone(s) now and again got overwhelmed by the sonics, particularly at the end, but that doesn't spoil the beauty of the performance for me. It was really quite lovely, and moving.
I'm curious, though: What inspired the shifting of text in the last stanza in the final measures? The words aren't different from the original; you've just re-arranged which words are falling where. Did you feel that the original distribution of text-to-note wasn't ideal for the sense of the text or music; or did you feel that the original created technical problems for the choir's delivery? As I said, I'm just curious. I didn't find it distracting or unsatisfactory. It was just a change that caught me off-guard.
Nice phrasing. Miss the solo. Son of mon?
IMO just at a tempo a bit too fast -- slowing it down would really resonate the warm chords inherent in this piece!
There is no alto solo.
