The University of Wisconsin- Oshkosh's Chamber Choir singing David Dickau's i carry your heart with me, at their Spring 2010 Concert. Martin Vajgrt on piano.
We did this for our highschool chorus concert, and our director dedicated it to his wife. It was SO adorable, I could've cried. And now we are doing it for our districts concert on Friday, I am so psyched!
the piano part gave me chills, especially the beginning. Just imagine if it was orchestrated, and the strings and wind section were sharing that part. AMAZING
I have listened to this choir sang this song many many times and I always come back to it. It’s a gorgeous song and the choir sang it to perfection. The bases always give me in the shivers and the “tees” are perfectly Together. If only Mr. Cummings had written that poem for me.
Sydney Warner I sung this song my senior year of high school and my choir teacher dedicated this song to his wife. I was trying so hard not to cry wile singing.
Got to perform this my sophomore year of high school. It was seriously a privilege. This and Eric Whitacre's Lux Arumque are, in my opinion, the absolute most beautiful vocal pieces ever written. Maybe it's something about existing poetry put to music, I don't know. The poems alone are amazing and chilling, but the musical arrangements they have been set to are other-worldly.
This song is so beautiful.. the soprano 1 part was pretty intense. It was actually hard for me to hit those notes lmao,,, now that I’m out of high school I can no longer hit any good soprano 1 note, Ripperoni.. but my senior year this was the last song we sang and the senior girls wore no shoes and the guys wore no pants! We obviously had robes down to our shins but it was hilarious when we were getting our senior awards ,, when a guys name was called they would step down the riser and accept the award but they didn’t have any pants on so it was just their shoes , socks and the choir robe,, it was the best senior night ,,truly I miss it a ton and would love to re-live choir class.
I'm learning this song. It's very beautiful. I was Soprano 2, like everyone else in my class, but now I'm a Soprano 1. The way it is done in the video is too slow like @xx13stephzz13xx said, but it's fantastically put together. This is the only video that is actually the song by David Dickau that suited me (there aren't many). Great choir. Bravo!
Whoever does the camera work, Iris up, turn the Gain down. That static noise is the gain up too high. Irising up. can get the same look but less interference noise on the recording. :D
I have to sing this for my audition piece for Districts... I hate the arrangement. Dickau wrote the bass line too high, and we are not allowed to make accommodations for lower vocal ranges. I am stuck singing what feels like tenor, when I have a better lower end as I can sing with Tim Riley and it really strains my voice, and gives an unfair advantage to those more skilled on the higher end. This is a very good recording though. Thanks.
Good up until it got to True on the ladies part, sounded terrible to me; pitchy. But other than that it was beautiful! And yes I know how difficult that note is I'm a soprano 1 and my choir sang this song.
