The Virginia Union University Gospel Choir has released its debut single, “Great is Yahweh,” marking a historic milestone for the student ensemble.

The new gospel anthem, produced by Hezekiah Walker and Stanley Brown and directed by Joel Lester, is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora, the iTunes Store and Amazon Music.

Written by Matthew Greaves, the single features Walker and gospel singer Chris Bender alongside the choir’s vocals.

Although this is the choir’s first single, the group has released three albums in the past: “He Had a Dream and Passed It On to Those in Earnest Meditation” (1969), “Contemporary Trends in Music” (1972) and “Sing — To Our New Day”.

The song follows the choir’s live performance during Virginia Union’s 126th commencement ceremony, where they performed for a packed audience.

“This is a momentous occasion for the VUU Gospel Choir and for the university as a whole,” Walker said. “Music, faith and education are powerful tools that can change lives, and I’m honored to be part of this journey with VUU.”
