The choir does some very good things within the piece however, I have to
add my opinion - based from the arranger Paul J Christiansen. When we sang
it, it was in manuscript form and was not intended to be sung this fast.
More attention is needed for the audience to hear all the chord
progressions going into verse 4. You have some good voices - so don't take
me wrong. It's only the interpretation that I would change. (And that comes
from the arranger!!)

Why does everyone have to be a critic? For the love... Thanks for posting
these Scott. Just because one doesn't like a conductors interpretation
doesn't mean that its bad. The beauty of music and the reason people write
new arrangements is for to create unity and variety. That's what makes
music so interesting. Just because someone thinks a song should be a
certain way doesn't mean that is the only way that a song should always be
performed.

This isn't that great at all. The only thing I appreciate with this
performance is the consistent congruity. I HATE the interpretation and this
rendition. It sounds immature for what would be considered a "professional
and educated interpretation" by going fast then slow then fast then slow.
The dynamics are rediculously misplaced in some phrases as well as the
tempos. Annunciation and blending is well done.

I read this comment thinking "Okay, maybe I am missing something" so I went
and watched dozens of other recordings of this song sung brilliantly by
choirs. Yet I still disagree. This song captures the text and emphasizes it
with dynamics. And maybe I still haven't found the right version of the
song, so if someone could direct me to the "better" version, I would very
much appreciate it.

I am truly impressed with this choir's tightness and skill. I don't really
care for the arrangement though. The original hymn is one of utter
reverence and speaks to the eminence of the Creator, so the abrupt changes
in dynamics and tempo are a little weird (I agree with generalludd). Still,
an amazing demonstration of vocal control and synchronicity.

I'm sorry if I offended anybody regarding the choir. I thought the
phonetics and the overall sound was great. I just didn't not like what the
director had the choir do to this piece. The song was originally composed
with such power -- these changes just simply took it away. To conclude,
this is a great choir, just a mediocre performance.

My father's world We'll my father is sleepingg on the sofa after a few
beers and G+Ts and he'll no doubt wake up for a piss in few minutes. The
father-god thing is a bit delusional, dearies! Actually God is female - yin
energy - which explains why the world is such a fucking mess. No man would
so this! Like DIY really.

Wow... one of the best choirs I've ever seen. Period. Maybe THE best. Every
single member so totally zoned in; the dynamics and phrasing are flawlessly
clean. Amazing. I searched this song looking for a slow, dramatic
arrangement... this blew me away even though it wasn't what I was looking
for.

I'm sorry that the director "mis-directed" the members by taking the choir
in the wrong direction and convincing them, or at least they seemed
convinced, that what he was having them do with this piece was good. If
they weren't convinced, then kudos to they they for being great actors.

I saw this group at a Music Educator Conference in Indianapolis last year.
They were absolutely amazing. I know there are only about 2000 students at
IWU and over half this group is non-music majors. Literally, these guys
blew me away and I can't wait to see them again.

This is one of my favorite hymns...not one of my favorite arrangements. I
felt that the staccato-ness (sorry, not really a word) wasn't quite right,
though executed perfectly technique-wise. Nice voices, though--you can tell
this is a good choir regardless :)

uh, yeah. too bad the director, dr. todd guy, is one of the most sought
after choral directors in the country for all-states and he is continually
turning down offers from the greatest choral programs....he must really not
know what he's doing.....

@generalludd If I may, while there was certainly some interpretation, we
were following the piece as written. And I feel the message of the lyrics
is still quite prominent. There's no reason to always sing an old hymn the
same way over and over.

Most of the recordings on YouTube use simplified chord changes. This one
has the correct chords and transitions. Regardless, this is a great (if
brief) performance by a talented arranger and skilled, versatile choir.
Thank you for sharing!

I love love love this. I find it interesting though that on the "Deep
River" video you said that the last chord made it all worth it, which I
agree. But the last chord of this just gave me chills all over. Bravo. I'd
love to hear more.

Who is that young man who sings the early solo? The Lord has given him a
grrrrrreeeeeaaat voice. Tempts one to covet! He sings "This is my Father's
world..." The Lord must have place for him as a soloist to the next Billy
Graham!

The choir is fabulous! The interpretation is so different, the different
tempos and marcatto accents. I prefer it to be a little more straight
foward without all of that...and the soloist was great...overall good job.

i agree, this isn't the best rendition i've heard...they have great voices,
but that fast-slow dynamic thing seems so contrived...i have half expected
them to go into "jingle bells, batman smells"...

Yes, that was an entirely intentional musical allusion on Howard Shore's
part. Tolkien's trilogy has deeply imbedded Christian themes, so Shore's
use of this melody was quite inspired, I thought.

blehh. OK choir sounds great. That being said, rendition was awful. Totally
wrong for this song. I just do not agree with the directors' interpretation
of it....

With that glorious swell that gets me every time on "Why should my heart be
sad?!"... ...How can you claim that the interpretation doesn't reflect the
text?

This choir is absolutely fabulous but I am NOT feeling the speeding tempo
at all. This glorious arrangement seems totally lost to the peculiar rush.

I also feel that their forte, dynamics, expressions and tempo are wrong.
Some are appropriate but pls do not sing too fast! It does not sound nice!

yes, other than the staccato parts, i thought the song was absolutely
great. It should have all been legato. But a very talented group indeed

Amazing choir just not a great arrangement. This song is so powerful
without the speed up and soloist. No offense. Great vocals though!

Awesome arrangement. Loved it and it touched me. This is a display of music
skill and doesn't lose the message of the song. Amazing

I think your point about how music relates to mood is very interesting.
Through all the changes in music over the years, that is one thing that
stays the same. Music has an effect on our moods and our emotions.

I like it. You made his biography into an interesting story. I did not know
that he was one or two survivers out of a total of seven. Definitely
interesting and a neat little fact.
