Our choir is singing this beautiful song Saturday for the celebration of the life of a long term, beloved choir member. It is so easy to tear up when singing it. It also reminds me of a beautiful song based upon the lyrics of a Tennyson Poem Ask not no more.
Yesterday, Sunday 7 January 2024 our choir, Hosana Chorale, sang this song too , "O Love", in HKBP (The Bataknese church) Tebet, Jakarta, Indonesia. Praise to the Lord we could sing this song. ❤❤
Just as beautifully sung and recorded as written. A rare gem. The recording would however benefit from cutting off the muted and odd-sounding applause at the end.
Our tiny church choir of 13 did this last Sunday. It meant so much to each of us. My ear/mind hears this piece, though, just the way this performance went. Kudos to the combined groups, the accompanist, and the wonderful conductor! 'll be listening to this particular recording often. THANK YOU!
Years ago our small choir sang it for the first time and a few months later at my son's memorial service. Both times the fullness of sound of our few voices makes me believe that the Heavenly Choir was present and joining us in praise!
