I Will Lift Mine Eyes by Jake Runestad - UBC 

Alto 1s anyone? I had the good fortune to attend a choir camp where we Facetimed with Mr. Runestad himself during a rehearsal. It was such an experience! Thank you, Mr. Runestad! This is my favorite mixed piece in the TMEA repertoire this year.

BLESSED BE THE COMPOSER OF THIS SONG

This choir has a stunning blend. And what a beautiful text to compose around! Another win for Jake Runestad.

THIS IS A MASTERPIECE, THIS IS TRULY WHAT I CALL ART

Another Runestad masterpiece and wonderful rendition by USingers! I could replay this again and again! Directing this piece is such a pleasure!

Bro, the songs they picked for TEMA this year are really good, this is favorite so far apart from flight song.

TMEA 2019 y’all. Second sopranos unite

while composition has lost some of the technical flair from baroque and rennaisance times, these newer guys, whitacre, ramsey, gjeilo, runestad have revolutionalized the emoting aspect

The making of this auditorium is BEYOND amazing. How the heck did they get it to sound as though you were in a movie theatre and you reach out and touch each sound😭. Not only that, but this choir sounds BREATH TAKING. My dream is to become a choir director, and if I could somehow get my future students to sound even CLOSE to this, that'd be amazing.

Stunningly beautiful composition. Thank you, Jake!

Wonderful. Thank you.

I sang in a choir that did this quite often. Biggest problem I had was tearing up so much I could hardly sing, because it's so ridiculously beautiful. Real "sing at my funeral" stuff - thank you, Jake

Woo TMEA squad where you at?

I'm practicing this for district and hopefully I can make it to region!! (Bass 1)[aka baritone] Edit: I made it past District!!! Hopefully I can make Region! Wish me luck!

I'm truly jealous of the tenor(s) who can hit that high A at 2:14 in their chest voice.

tmea friendsssss??

Trying out for all-region (tenor 1) wish me look

Those tenors are beyond beautiful❤

2018-2019 BASSES WHERE YOU AT?

I love that so many of us unite over this song soprano 1 anyone?

I was in the audience on Oct 18 and this piece was absolutely mesmerizing - made me lean forward in my seat and pay attention -

Where is the Alto squad? ALTOS LET'S GOOOO~

This is probably the best choral piece I have ever had chance to sing - incredible!

The tenors are beautiful here.

TEMA anyone?

YO YO HOLD THE PHONE. I audition this piece for TMEA 2018-2019, (Made it to area :( ) And i decided to look back on this.... Wow this is literally more beautiful from the point where i was a freshman. Keep up the good and honest work Mr. Runestad. (P.S. Did the conductor of this choir slip in a low D2 for the bass 2s at the very end?)

Beautiful Gorgeous Harmonies . The vocal balance is so well tempered.

I absolutely love this song. I’ve been listening to it for months and am still mesmerized every time

All-Region Second sopranos??? 💜💜

Such an incredible piece of music! I sang this with the Berea College Concert Choir on an international tour to Spain in June 2014. We sang this in a couple different cathedrals during the tour and it’s one of the best memories I have.

Amazing composition. Wonderfully performed.

Soprano 1 2:13 😅

I love songing this song alone and with my choir and doing all the different parts

Gorgeous music and singing!

Bravi!

Are there any other soprano 1’s here? :)
