Group Of Men Gather In The Mountains To Sing ‘You Raise Me Up’ Will Give You Chills
College Singers Elevate Josh Groban’s Hit to New Heights with Acapella Mastery
An expertly performed acapella song can bring new depth to any track – whether it’s the absence of instruments highlighting the lyrics or the vocalists’ skill in engaging the audience.
This rings especially true for the acapella rendition of Josh Groban’s 2003 hit, “You Raise Me Up,” by Brigham Young University’s (BYU) Vocal Point.
Their version breathes fresh life into this inspirational song.
In 1991, BYU students Dave Boyce and Bob Ahlander founded the BYU Vocal Point, a nine-member acapella group. The group swiftly gained popularity on campus, with their debut concert selling out.
BYU Vocal Point’s Ascent to Acapella Fame
Since its inception, BYU Vocal Point has achieved numerous accolades, including a fifth-place finish in the third season of NBC’s The Sing-Off. Their talent was further recognized in December 2018 when they announced a record deal with Universal Music Group’s classical label, Decca Gold, on social media.
Member Jason Bromley reflected, “We’re ordinary college students doing extraordinary things.”
The finale is bolstered by a choir of additional students, creating a profoundly powerful conclusion.
This exceptional version of “You Raise Me Up” by BYU Vocal Point is bound to become a favorite.
Sit back and enjoy this unique and uplifting performance.
