Sorry, it was a long time ago. I may have done it in Blocks but it would have been when you could log into the website and store programs there but it looks as though that is all gone now.
Such a beautiful piece. St. Paul's Cathedral Namirembe in Uganda has done a Luganda adaptation of it a couple of times. You can hear it in the following video at 23:23 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-NIaj10TLcrA.html
@@JosephHaig Shall we offer this to Guinness as a world record? Working as a proofreader in a law firm and composing my own service-related songs/psalms were likely contributing elements. The piece was beautifully performed by the choir of the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels, Los Angeles during Communion yesterday and streamed live. It moved me to tears.
Beautiful, indeed! I sang this with my boys' choir at St. Paul's Cathedral in Boston many years ago, but I didn't know until now that it was written by Sir John Stainer, famed for "God So Loved the World" (which we also sang) and the standard carolers' arrangement of "The First Nowell." This song may be his masterpiece. Thanks for posting!
in a Sixth grade choir, in a Lutheran congregation on Chicago's North side, I sang this with a group of children, thus engraving the words of John 3:16-17 into my indelible memory. Thanks be to God!
I did this a long time ago and I don't think I have the code any more. However, it is wasn't very complicated and in terms of wiring it is just four buttons and four LEDs.
It really is. I've known this piece all my life and always loved it, but when we hear one of these fine, beautifully trained English choirs bring out all the beauty in the Stainer's subtle harmonic changes this simple, seemingly modest piece becomes transformative. The power of Stainer's sincerity and complete devotion to his work was very great, indeed.
Sometimes, I get the shivers hearing this song. You know these are the words of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. He was talking to Nicodemus, who had stole to Him at night to have an in-depth conversation with Him. Nicodemus wanted to know what it meant to be born again. You can read all about it in the fourth book of the New Testament, John (chapter 3).
It was great being able to listen and follow the music this morning. We are having the piece this morning and I am singing tenor, very helpful to revise!!
My Grandmothers favorite song. We should all remember that no greater love has than to lay down his life for another. This applies to all men, and surpasses religion.
Thankyou. I sang it at school in quite an accomplished "Madrigal Group" many years ago, always loved it but current church choir master thinks it's too ambitious for us. You may well know it if not I urge you to listen to it on RU-vid: beautiful.
I am glad you find it useful. Unfortunately, the videos I make are determined by recordings I can get of my choir so that particular piece is unlikely as it isn't in our repertoire and I don't know if our musical director has it in mind.
