A gorgeous performance of this, the greatest of all English hymns, written by Robert Robinson in the mid 18th century -- a man who suffered greatly in his waning years -- & set to an American folk melody known as Nettleton. I'm so proud of Ethan & his chorale mates!

Here are clickable thumbnails of a very unusual, elegiac arrangement with a contemporary feel by Richard Walters.



Come, let us all sing together, here on the Ledge, & let the goodness of this place like a fetter bind our wandering hearts to one another!

Now let us enjoy the combined choruses at Brigham Young University, in an arrangement by Mack Wilberg:

jesus, a hilltopper? are you going to the bowling green campus? i'm sometimes down there to visit friends. maybe not so much anymore. Murray State's music dept is far superior to Western's, but please don't change your mind and go there.

best wishes.

Well, I have worked with WKU's choral director many many times and he has many times said that he wants me down there. Plus, my choral director highly reccommends him, but he did also say that Murray is good as well. It's simply that I know the people over at Western. And even though you say they may not be as good, their choir is amazing. I hate to play the link card again, but check this out.... Amazing

As for you David, thank you very much. Our concert choir sounded even better singing that without the sophomores, because the younger girls' tone isn't quite as developed. But stilli am satisfied with it. Crazy to think that that is the last choral performance ever with the group that I was so dedicated to.

I'll be going to Wellesley next year and studying English and Economics.
