This is so beautiful and brings me to tears after Gene Wilder's passing. R.I.P.

Truly this piece is a gift from God. I feel blessed to have this spectacular sound meet my ears.

1:34 . Man. This is what is so hauntingly beautiful to me about the singing human voice.

[cecilialoumusic]

This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard. I heard it for the first time about 4 years ago and nothing has topped it.

[nocountryoldfreeman]

I want this played at my funeral. Or my wedding, lol.

[bradleywalker]

I will always love choir, for this exact reason

This is absolutely perfect. It's original and beautiful. I'm so excited to sing it with my choir at The College of Wooster!

[slingernoob]

Willy Wonka with one of my favorite movies growing up... The original one, not the remake that they made later, lol

[aminaj.]

This is *SUCH* an lovely arrangement 😍😍😍😙😙❤❤

[ryanpham]

I remember this being used as a part of a tribute t the seniors at my schools. It was just...perfectly fitting, although it was partly because this was slightly slower than performed here (I think the one I heard was performed at 100 bpm) and kept its tempo throughout.

High school choir. We got this today, and holy wow. This is such a gorgeous piece.
