The performance of “Wade in the Water” featured a beautiful sunrise backdrop that complemented the song’s hopeful tone. The choir members, dressed uniformly in conservative black dresses with matching pearl necklaces and earrings, presented a unified and professional appearance.
Their rendition of the song began with a heartfelt solo that set a slow and touching tone before the piece took off. I loved how the various voices blended, creating a unified sound. The dynamic variations throughout the song kept me engaged as I swayed along with the music. The soloist, with her gorgeous, operatic-like voice, delivered the song powerfully, emphasizing its traditional significance. I have heard this song many times but this is now my favorite version.
