I remember when I was working at a restaurant in Quebec and I was the one in charge that night, some students from I don’t remember the schools in the US came for a dinner. They sang me this song when they finished. I wished I had record this. I feel so grateful for this moment.

My junior high concert choir class is singing this and Elijah Rock which is also by Moses Hogan. We are doing it for our last choir concert this year. After 27 years, this is our amazing teacher's last year here so we are going big. Rocky Mountain Jr. High will miss you Mr. Saunders 😢

Nice to hear this kind of fullness in sound of a choir from this region. Usually tonal richness and color are sacrificed to a "blended" aesthetic which, while beautiful, is more of the same. when a choir director allows the women to fully use the expanse of the voice, it makes for much more compelling and moving singing to my ear.

Before I made it into Varsity Choir I heard them do this and I was so excited. We ended up doing Elijah Rock 🙌🏼

My school used this exact arrangement for the open house! It was really good!

*“Joshua is the battle of Cherry Coke.”*

[sharonschall]

Extraordinary experience because it fits the battle! Awesome

[keyboardconflicts]

I always wish conductors would stop cutting "walls" and "come" at the end so short. I do love when they slow down the 4 stacked female chords of "down", because they really are splendid

[tjaspire]

You guys killed it! This arrangement is STELLAR! Wow 👌🏽

[drilladise]

Boğaziçi caz korosundan farklı bir korodan dinlemek garip hissettirdi. O ruhu vermiyor.

I wonder where I learned this song? Girl Scout camp? School? I can’t remember but I knew all the lyrics.

[cattycorner]

Beautiful, rousing rendition. An example of the embracing of Black American culture by the mainstream. The history of this amazing country, this country that arose against all odds is the history of ALL Americans of ALL colors. History is a warts and all continuum that must not be denied. It makes us what we are today. There is only one Race: HUMAN
God bless America.

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down

Hallelujah

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down

You may talk about the men of Gideon
You may talk about the men of Saul
But there's none like the good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho

Hallelujah

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down

Hallelujah

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down

Up to the walls of Jericho
With sword drawn in his hand
Go blow them horns like Joshua
The battle is in my hands

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down

That mornin'

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down

Hallelujah

Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
Jericho Jericho
Joshua fit the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down

Hi random person going through the comments

[uncleelroy]

That's still too many members for a chamber group. But great job. One of my favorites I did as a chamber member

[emjai]

Cause it’s Utah, I can’t help but think that these folks are just in a pipeline for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir…. If you’re in trouble and need help, sing a high note!

[Boss_Bueno]

This is called the battle of Jericho, not Joshua fit the battle
