The Concordia Choir - MLK - arr. Bob Chilcott 

this CONTINUES to remain the best version of all the choirs

Wonderful G1 from the basses at the end!

Beautiful! I love the Thundercloud moment at 2:47 when the bass really thunders in.

So beautiful! And that bass2 note at the end WOW!

Can we talk about that bass near the end though because it was perfect.

My goodness that bass tho....

It's been a couple years since I heard this on RU-vid, and something brought me back "home" to this arrangement. It took me a while to find someone who was in this specific choir, and they alerted me to one of the bass singers that BEASTED the last note. I'm thinking his name was Spencer, and he's 6th from the left on the top row...the soloist. I'm still amazed at this arrangement...lots of "rubs" and resolutions that are awesome. Thank you Rene Clausen and Bob Chilcott for your contributions to this masterpiece. Two words: SIMPLISTICALLY AWESOME! Edit: while battling a bug of some kind on 2/6, I decided to go for the end notes in the B1 line, seeing as how my voice was extremely low for me being ill. My hat is in my hands and whomever is hitting those notes - BRAVO. I was able to keep up through the first... so let it rain... but failed epically with the ensuing notes.

I’m currently singing this in my choir and let me say that this is unbelievably beautiful, tearing up and then the huge THUNDER CLOUD near the end really jerks you into reality and it’s just and amazing experience just listening to it

I sang this song in high school, almost 10 years ago. I cried when I sang it then, and cry now when I hear it. This is absolutely stunning! The beauty of this song and this choir sends shivers through me. Thank you.

I sang this arrangement with our choir at a fellow student's funeral when I was in high school. I cried pretty hard afterwards. I had just gotten to know the person and started to get close to them. They were a great human and they deserved something as beautiful as this, I can only hope we did it a modicum of justice.

This is so well done. Beautiful job.

This never ever gets old. Absolutely superb!!!

I can't get enough of this piece of music!

GORGEOUS-SIMPLY gorgeous..

Stunningly beautiful.

EEEEEE!!!! THE BASSES ARE AMAZING

this gave me shivers, that bass he needs something omg he is awesome

Did they get a friggin' Russian oktavist in there?!

I love this performance so much. I'm conducting this for a concert on Friday, and I was looking for versions to hone what kind of sound I want from my choir, but I couldn't find the right fit until I came across this one. I don't think I'll draw out the notes as long as this choir did; I wanna keep them short and sweet (but not TOO short). Regardless, this piece took me away for a moment. Absolutely lovely.

My choir did this song in high school. God this was beautiful

I was nervous tryna sing a low C and this beast KILLS the G below it! I declare that he cheated.

I truly believe the basses that you are hearing are the 6th and 10th persons on the very back row (starting from the left). I've seen other videos and I do think these are two of the lowest voices in the bass section - and I think the 6th person is the section leader. This arrangement is amazingly rich and gorgeous. What an incredible conductor and musicians in this choral group!!!!

What netherworld note are the b2's on at the end

Wow! Thank you! ❤

THE BASSS THE BASSS THE BASSS THE BAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS🥺

I'm singing this song in my Choir

GREAT solo! Soft and enchanting :) Just watched another video with a very IN YOUR FACE solo that was unpleasant. Very soft transitions, good legato, little bit much on the Sss, but overall one of the best I've heard :) Did this in Mass Choir in High School and it was a very moving song.

damnit I love this! there are no other versions of this on youtube that are even acceptable. and this is flawless!

Who is the bass soloist?

Bravissimi grande interpretazione

Oooh lovely!

“THUNDERCLOUD!”

Bravo. Now go watch Missouri State Chorale version.

Come si chiama il meraviglioso basso profondo.

I'm singing this in choir

You guys have the lowest basses ever ;). Lovely!

Basso meraviglioso, ma chi é?

I'm a talto, so ya

What was that brass instrument that man was playing

Tenor soloist is flat.
