High school choir harmonises on a beloved spiritual, in one soul-shaking hotel acoustic...

A viral video of high school students singing the folk hymn Down to the River to Pray on hotel balconies has just resurfaced, and its a beautiful reminder of the power of group singing.

The impromptu performance took place at a Colorado hotel, where the treble ensemble of the Colorado All State Choir were staying that night.

Young students from across the US state sang a hair-raising a cappella arrangement of the traditional spiritual, arranged by Jace Wittig.

After it was posted, one of the choir members who was singing on the 4th to top floor, they say came across the clip and commented: Ive never been more proud to be in a YouTube video. [sic]

One of the coolest things that ever happened. This video barely describes how magnificent the experience was.
