Can we talk talk about those BASSES??? The fullness, softness yet power and control shown are unbelievable…they sound like a track

[johankotze]

I am sobbing my heart out. I sang in this choir in 1986. (later edit: I sang in this choir, not this song). I am 59 years old. Most of my thoughts of late have been "feeling a little bit low", and here you come and lift us all up again. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

This isn't just a choir... It's a symphony orchestra. A very special gift

[docsafari]

Just think. The greatest choir in the world is a bunch of twenty-year-olds. And think too what they show the world about the strengths and potential of South Africa. And don’t forget that even before Andre van der Merwe made this stunning arrangement, Jerusalema had become something close to the world’s anthem, not to mention a worldwide dance phenomenon of historic proportions. Thank you South Africa. You are stronger than you know. Land of Music and more.

For some reason I believe this is what we are all suppose to sound like when we’re all in harmony with each other. Everyone has value regardless of race, color, religion or creed, our World could take a lesson here.

Thank you...🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Dear South Africa. We hear so much about South Africa's many great problems. But you are stronger than you may know. The fact that this choir, the greatest in the world, is both so diverse and so excellent, shows us that. South Africa also has many other strong and successful institutions in many sectors. They and your young people are your country's promise.

[tshepomoteka]

This is indeed the world's best choir. A choir where you can hear all the voices come together as one to produce such magic. The tenors and altos are just amazing. As always, the sopranos and the bass never disappoint. Absolutely fantastic 💯💯💯

[joecaprani]

Found my way here via a Frisson playlist - WOW.... so beautiful. And yes, the tears

[gerrarddamons]

I love being part of this choir so so much !!!

[wernernicolai]

Mit Abstand der beste Chor, den ich kenne - und das schon seit Jahren!!!

[cloudwatcher]

The blend between the tenors and sopranos singing the melody together is so seamless, I don’t know if I’ve ever heard anything quite like it before

[philaniphilah]

😇The choir that deserves a grammy award👌👌👌🙌🙌🙌 beautiful melody.

[ChristiaanDB]

What an honour to have been able to record again after 18 months of lockdown

[malenam.]

Der Chorleiter hat so eine liebevolle und sanfte Energie. 😊

[dirkhoekstra]

I never studied at Stellenbosch University, but when I listen to your choir, I feel like a Matie.

[worshipprayer]

I just sat here and cried while listening to this song...thank you Lord Jesus. You truly are my closest friend...You have always been there for me, and I cannot thank you enough.

[pierrebuckley]

Let's just say it! This is what South Africa is about. Being the best at the best. May these wonderful people represent who we are as South Africans. Beautifully and powerfully united in our diversity. Together we are amazing.

[jameslewis]

The sadness of this is that it doesn't go on forever and is lost through time. These young people will age and go their separate ways. You wish that this time would last forever with all the members of the choir retaining their youth, beauty, and harmonious glory. God bless you one and all that you devoted your best to this glorious music.
