    This song gives me chills everytime I hear it. My Choir class is/has worked on this song and no matter how many times I hear/sing it the song always gives me chills. Truely a beautiful peice that really speaks to the heart and soul of a person. I...

    highly suggest that any and every choir sing this song. It is a song that really helps all the singers to Bond.

  • October 13, 2010 Favorite song

    Last year, my schools concert choir sang this piece for our spring concert. Earth Song was my far my favorite, along with the rest of the class and, from what it seemed, most people in the audience.. Fantastic song!

  • March 04, 2010 Favorite Choral Piece

    My high school choir is singing this song at graduation. It is by far our favorite piece. I've never come across a song like this. It is teaching my choir to really listen across and blend, something that we've always struggled with. The tight harmonies are simply gorgeous...

    . The lyrics are poetic and really speak to the audience. And the melody gives goosebumps to anyone who will listen.

  • February 09, 2010 Amazing!

    Have you ever heard music that was so good that you wanted to cry? I don't know Frank Tichelli did it, but he created a piece of music that will bring tears to people's eyes, as well as open their eyes to the current state of our world...

    . I thoroughly agree with him on this one. The lyrics alone can touch someone, but add the clashing, yet melodic and powerful harmonies that he created into the mix, and it's spine chilling. I sung this in the 2010 CJMEA Region II Chorus and at the concert people were literally sucked in to what we were singing. Also after our concert I persuaded my teacher to look at it. Playing it once on the piano had her convinced that it needed to also be in my school's choral concert. This is a piece to add to any repertoire, as it is relevant to any walk of life. It will become a favorite of any choir and audience. By singing this song, I have to learned to Sing, Be, Live and See... Peace.

  • February 09, 2009 Awesome Pick!!

    This piece is impeccably crafted. Beautiful to listen to and sing. The message of the song is great for the current state of the world. I am putting this in my current repertoire for our Spring Concert and Music tour. Can't go wrong with this one!
