Why We Sing (SATB Choir) - by Greg Gilpin 

This piece is interesting. Is starts like one of those sappy and cheesy "omg singing is just so pretty" songs but transitions into a real beauty that actually feels serious and earned

My choir is singing this tomorrow for a festival!!🎀

All the choirs in my school come together to sing this at the end of the fall concert, it’s very nice (: Edit: The last concert is quickly approaching, and we found out our choir teacher is retiring. We’re all coming together one last time to surprise him with this 🥲

Just adding the lyrics to practice for choir! -------- A sound of hope, a sound of peace, a sound that celebrates and speaks what we believe. A sound of love, a sound so strong, it’s amazing what is given when we share a song ... This is why we sing, why we lift our voice, why we stand as one in harmony! This is why we sing, why we lift our voice, take my hand and sing with me! Soothe a soul, mend a heart, bring together lives that have been torn apart. Share the joy, find a friend, it’s a never - ending gift that circles back again. This is why we sing, why we lift our voice, why we stand as one in harmony! This is why we sing, why we lift our voice, take my hand and sing with me! Music builds a bridge, it can tear down a wall! Music is a language, that can speak to one and all! This is why we sing, why we lift our voice, why we stand as one in harmony! This is why we sing, why we lift our voice, take my hand and sing with me! This is why we sing, we sing, WE SING!

This song is our choirs anthem. We sing it at almost every concert

Jeez, I was just lying and bed and I suddenly found myself singing "This is why we sing" while watching random videos. Couldn't remember the lyrics till I watched this video and just sang along like I was still in high school choir with my teacher, Jim. I miss those years when I was so full of hope.

When the Maine Gay Men's Chorus combined (finally) with the New Hampshire Gay Men's Chorus ina concert together, we sang this. It was a moment long-overdue (NH is my treasured home state) and magical. No matter your ethnicity, sexual or spiritual orientation, age, physical limitations, etc. keep the Chorus singing coming from your hearts and soul. It will change your life...and the world.

Why do we sing, a question with no answer just song and noise to hear from all mouths to my tiny ears … it’s amazing really it is ….🪽🪽🪽

i sang this song in middle school (i believe in 2012) and it is what really got me into choir, and now here i am, a sophomore in college, getting a music ed degree (hopefully). when i'm in the classroom this is the first song my students will be learning.

The feel good got me. I can’t help but give in 😭

This is a really good song and i'm singing it this year for my freshman year.

I’m in a choir and we are doing this song!

IM SO HAPPY im in school chorus and I get to preform this song I’m so excited

Honestly, my life never been the same ever since i came across this piece. It makes me reflect and realize, why we really love music, why we doing it - all just bring thanks and praise to God, allow us to reach multitude, at once, through music.

Oh my god I haven’t heard this song since I did it for my 7th grade choir years ago. Still makes me tear up with this song and the memories that come with it

My old school used to sing this song at christmas thats why im literally crying. :) Ty now i feel happy :) happy tears

Greg Gilpin is definitely getting the noble prize

I got to work with the writer of this song for my one time honor choir last night, and it was beautiful.

This was sung by my choir in school and played at our friend's funeral. She was in choir with us. I miss her so much but i stay strong for her.

I remember singing this in choir all throughout middle school. It was one of our choir teachers favorite songs. We sang it every year. Brings back good memories.
