Ad Astra by Jacob Narverud (SATB Choir with Piano) 

my choir was supposed to sing this beautiful piece of art and many other pieces in cathedrals across ireland but it got cancelled without reschedule due to the pandemic. so now i’m just listening to all the music from that trip, knowing all the words and cues and notes for no reason it’s really sad.

I’m singing this in my choir, it’s my favorite song

My director was teaching us this song but the earthquake stopped from happening. Even now during this pandemic I miss singing amongst my fellow musicians, I really do. Choral music is/means so much for me.

So satisfying that went off right on the down beat. Obviously this video was edited by a musician :D

I like the Movere part of it

I’ve listened to this 10 times today no cap 😂❤️

ugh i love this song. can’t wait to sing it in choir.

My choir is practicing this right now to do as our grand finale piece, where we have all of our high school choirs (Phoenix choir, concert, A Capella, Mens, Womens, Xela) so about 200 kids, and I'm so excited. I think it will sound awesome.

Genuinely one of the most beautiful pieces in the history of music

I love the message and the beauty of this song! My choir director is letting us each pick some songs next week that we may possibly sing, and this will definitely be my pick!

my Highschool choir sang this during my freshman year, im so lucky that i was able to sing it! just remembering how it felt to sing is enough to make me tear up lol

the one good song my high school choir director picked 🙏

We’re singing this in our choir and we love it!!!

I sang this in my Choir twice!

I LOVED SINGING THIS WITH MY CHOIR IT WAS SOOO BEAUTIFUL

So gorgeous, Jacob. Very excited to work on this next semester with my chamber group for contest in the spring. Excellent work!

We sang this piece for HS graduation last year. It’s a beautiful piece.

I go to UNK in Nebraska and I’m so excited for you to come work with us next month!! I love your songs, I’ve been singing them in choir for years. This is my favorite one that we’re doing.

I watched the eighth grade concert choir (which I will be shortly inducted into as soon as the next school year starts) at my school perform this song and the professor listening to the performance said she heard over 10 high school choirs perform the piece and the eighth grade choir performed it better than all of them.

I love this song ,we sang it at our school I love the melodies "to the stars"⭐

I literally love this song!! It is amazing😁💕

i love this song in choir. we’re singing it this year, it’s the first i’ve ever heard of the piece, but i loved it the moment i heard it was related to space. this is an amazing composure that is extremely fun to sing.

Thank you

Learning this for a big high school district concert. And oh man is it one hell of a song to sing. (I am learning the baritone part btw)

I remember singing this song with my choir in middle school. To this day, it's my favorite song I've ever sang. What I would give to perform it again. ❤

My son is 15 and part of our city’s boys choir, and the high school tenor/bass choir sang this in their Christmas program tonight. So many people were moved to tears, and he said this was his favorite piece of music he’s sang in his 7 years with the choir.

I’m trying to get into honors choir and this is the audition music we have to sing to get in and then do other things.

my school choir is doing this and i absolutely love this song especially the masculine voices on the part where “tho u may be weary…for the stars will guide u home” it’s giving me chills. and every-time i hear this piece, i think instantly of night time travels/ adventures under the stars, and i get voyager vibes and it’s everything.

We are singing this in choir one of my favorites pieces we sang

I love this song so much! The feelings are just immaculate to any song I’ve sung in choir yet 😊

My college choir sings this song every year for graduation ❤

What’s coincidence that everyone is here cause of choir and I’m watching this cause we’re gonna be practicing it soon in choir.

Love it, going for that sound with the satb arrangement and absolutely nailed it, really glad my director picked this up

singing this in choir right now! it's gorgeous!!!

We sang this in concert choir and it was so fun

Our college choir is doing this song in October -- it's terrific!

My choir teacher in high school loved theses songs by this artist. We sang two of the songs my last y ars of high school. They sounded just absolutely beautiful.

Me and my grades choir is learning this for our performance in a few weeks! I almost cried hearing it for the first time, it really is a beautiful piece and it’s so fun to sing! I feel so grateful to get to sing this piece with people I care about :)

I was at Greenway High school, best one yet! and they sang this!

We sung this song in my choir at our local All County, our choir AND the audience loved it so much that we had to sing it again at our Spring Concert, it really is a beautiful piece! To the Stars!

i sang this last year during my school’s spring concert- it was so fun to do, definitely my favorite typical choral piece we did. i still remember all the notes a year later :)))

Amazing! Love this piece.

I love this song so much! Definitely a favorite from my choir

Wow

my choir is practicing this now for a choral symposium. we sound absolutely beautiful.

This is beautiful!!

At my school, our advanced, (chamber) choir has assistant conductors, where some students are selected to teach a song to the class and conduct it in concert. I was picked and I chose to do this piece. My choir also had the honor of performing Sisi Ni Moja, my favorite composition of the one and only Jacob Narverud. Thank you.

Gosh I’m so excited to sing this with all the choir groups at my school its a beautiful song it reminds me of dreams, stars, and motivation it’s just so elegant

sang this freshman year and it's still my favorite. i'm a junior now, and it's still my favorite piece i've ever sang.

Singing the tenor part for this for a chorus concert at my high school I am in love with the harmonies.

Magical...

This is an awesome song! 💫🪐🚀

I sang this in my chior last Tuesday as a mass piece in this beautiful church and it sounded absolutely magnificent

Such a beautiful piece. My choir is singing it and it just sounds stunning. Great job😉

I am in love with this song! ❤ This was one of my favorite songs that i sang in my Choir!

My choir’s singing this beautiful song

My chorus sang this last year and I love it!

Thank you for creating such beautiful music! It was a true pleasure singing this in high school. Ad Astra!

In my school quior were singing this and I love you for making it

i love this song so much, its so powerful and i was supposed to sing this for a reigon choir audition probably like two years ago now and i can only remember how devestated i was when my director told me i wasnt eligible to audition anymore, i had spent all my freetime for months learning this piece because of how much it moved me and now years later i still know all the words and i have the same passion for this song, i just wish i couldve shown how much i loved it to those damn judges

👏LOVE👏THIS

Ad astra per aspera. To the stars through difficulties. Sursum. Look upward. When you’re tired and troubled And you have lost your way, Don’t let hard times lead you astray. Though you may be weary, Just know you’re not alone, For the stars will guide you home. Movere deinceps. Move forward. Sine cura, post omnes. Leave all cares behind

Our choir sang this in March of 2023 at Celebrate The Arts. This was my favorite song we sang. Update: Now singing this at graduation.

My choir is singing this right now! Now I can get a good start on it

we're singing this for our christmas concert this year !! it's such a pretty piece, i'm so excited

im singing this in my choir right now

Is anyone else singing it for the Central Texas UIL ‘music evaluation’?

I'M SINGING THIS TODAY WITH MY CHOIR

This song in particular made me want to start learning latin, good job man it sounds great

I sang the SSAA version with a choir outside of school. This is a really beautiful piece. I wouldn’t see my school choir doing this because we sound bad and my choir teacher picks all theater songs.

🤩✨

Out choir is singing this on may 2

My choir is doning this song right now

Can anyone tell a meaning of that 'movere' part?

The glissondo👌. I know its in the two part version but i'm not sure if its in here. Great song with or without it though!

We're singing this in SAB but it starts in B Major, and goes to C sharp

My choir is singing this on December 14th and I’m nervous

What language is this in?

Reminds me of laika and I get sad every time we practice it 😢

ACC choir camp was the best with this song

I’m doing this song for chorus and I’m in a special needs class in middle school I’m in 7th grade

I know the SATB and SSA versions.
