It’s Amazing to see this piece become an American classic since singing this piece in the 1990s when it first came out. Always beautiful…. Just make sure you get a really long and wide thunder sheet. Or just a stop by Home Depot or Lowe’s ….

too bad the recording itself isn't better. we did this in highschool, still one of my favorite pieces ever.

Perfekt, brilliant, thrilling, goosebombse all over my body! Respect!

An amazing piece of work! I sang this in High School 54 years ago and in College several times. I love it and still remember the soprano part. I am now a Conductor/Director and I am planning on introducing this piece to my choir next month.

Wonderful

Llike weaves on see, like storm ans peace on oceans. Beautifull... Luke voices on Haven..... Aleluia❤

Extraordinary!

I got to do this in college with the St Joseph Symphony over 25 years ago! Such a fun piece to perform!

We performed this number in high school. Our performance was not as beautiful as this one.

Great use of the dynamics!

Bravo!!!

Is the orchestration available?

Wonderful to see this, but why has it been cut? CD versions last much longer. I remember singing as a member of the choir and dressed up as an angel in about 1982 when studying music at Napier College and it was a wonderful experience, never to be forgotten.

The sounds of this piece are visceral to me

We sang this in high school choir and I've loved it ever since. Beautiful.

I belonged to an acapella choir at school in 1963 and we preformed this piece. I not only get vivid colors from sound, but I also get images of places (many of which I've never seen in person) occurring at the same time. Most of this one calls up tropical rain forest environments for some reason so suddenly that it causes goose flesh, even now.

My favorite choral piece done to perfection. I still remember every note of the Alto 2 part... moves me to tears every time and I'll never understand why. I had the honor of breaking the minute of silence at Westminister Abbey and the National Cathedral with this piece and I'll never forget it.

One of my favorite pieces to sing. Alto part seared into my brain.

Bravo!

I know this is college, but my high school went to state w/ this song!! Plus... It was performed in our school and in 1986, we were the high school that Won 1st place in the State of Texas!!!! It was so Fab!! This College did a Great job as well!! Such a Beautiful song....

beautiful!!

Randall Thompson came to my college as Artist in residence, in 1977. He directed us in a concert doing a collection of poems set to music, that he wrote by poet, Robert Frost. We also performed his famous, "Alleluia" which we had committed to memory. I'll never forget it as long as I live.❤

That director is REALLY good! I would follow his direction ANYTIME. i've sung this song many times, so I know this man's tempo and dynamics transitions are out of this world! The chorus was super-accurate too!😲❣️

I remember every single alto note 🥺 sang this over 22 years ago in choir.

Great. Wonderful. Thank you.

Lovely

Song was super fun to learn. My high school advanced choir sang this.

Is it Dennis Schrock conducting? I was in this choir starting in 95.

BRAVO! This production is stunning! I've sung Carmina with orchestras in Flagstaff, El Paso, Dallas and Plano TX, but only recently was thrilled to see the ballet. My first was on RUclips, presented from Ukraine - the ballet in that production was more like modern dance - it was very good. BUT, this production - in my opinion was superb. It was a perfect pairing of music and ballet. The orchestra and chorus were unbelievable, and the ballet perfectly expressed my personal feelings while performing Carmina. Thank you all for a stellar production. I WILL watch it again...many times. I can't get enough!!!

Insaine how good that was!! That massive MF crescendo was WOWWWW!! I'm singing it now and needed to hear it in full with all parts cause even though you can pretty much not get lost...you can get lost lol I closed my eyes and it was like I was in the presence of heaven listening to all the angels singing Alleluea. So grateful for this recording

Oh my God, so many wonderful memories of college choirs, madrigal singing ...all preparing my ear and heart for the day of my salvation and singing with understanding...Alleluia to the King of Kings!

Nicely done! I hope I can visit your group one time and join you in singing music scores like this

No me gusta la opera pero mis padres me metieron a clases de canto 😑😐😣

This extraordinary piece won us the Best in State of Florida in my senior year (1970). I shall never forget meeting Randall Thompson when he came to visit in Tampa. Such beautiful music must never be lost.

Absolutely gorgeous rendition. (and it gave the organist a chance to sort the rest of the music he's going to play. :-)

I love this song! So compelling to sinnnng tho

PERFECT PITCH!!🎶 Masterful job....BRAVO to the choir and director!!🎵🎼🎶 I performed this piece in high school in 1967( Yes!! I am a singing dinosaur🤗)! I also taught this to my high school chorus in 1980( teaching at my alma mater)!⚜💜⚜ What wonderful memories to last for a lifetime!!!💝🎶💝

Completely broke Down crying ... what I wouldn’t give to be in college choir again Truly beautiful

Jesus reign

Still know every note to the soprano part.... nearly 30 years after performing this.

One of the soprani was off pitch, generatin heterodynes.

In the 1950s I was in this chorale and sang this ... since those long ago times I tear up every time I hear this.....

Tekst?

To think the whole piece is written on just one stave, the realisation then based on current understanding of medieval practice in performance.

Ballet aburrido!

Yes, there are flaws, but few and far between. I sang this in High School and with Mr. Robert Shaw. They all had flaws. That is the thing about art, particularly music. As Mr. Shaw used to say, Music is not art until it sounds. Yes, you can have the whole thing written down on paper, but it does not become art until it sounds. And that takes intense work, artistry, and someone who has the vision to make it happen. Mr. Harold Beckett and Mr. Robert Shaw had this vision.

Fine performance. Stayed in tune all the way to the end; a very difficult thing to do with this piece.
