In writing TESTIMONY, Stephen Schwartz collaborated with Dan Savage, creator of the groundbreaking "It Gets Better Project." Schwartz has set the heartfelt words from the "It Gets Better" videos to music, weaving them into a breathtaking, emotional new masterpiece that speaks to anyone who has ever felt out of place. The song urges LGBT youth to hang on, telling them they're not alone, and showing them that life gets better. TESTIMONY was recorded and engineered by Leslie Ann Jones, the legendary multi Grammy award-winning Director of Music Recording at Skywalker Sound. Performed by the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus under the direction of Dr. Timothy Seelig.
I preformed with the Turtle Creek Chorale, the gay mens chorus in Dallas for a few years under the direction of Timothy Seelig. It was an amazing experience that I will cherish for a lifetime. This is so beautiful and I highly recommend that you grab a box of tissue before watching it. Congratulations guys!

Stunning. Certainly a tear-jerker, though. Now they need to do another, more positive, joyous one to drive the point home.
