I will continue working on the article and add more sources. As it is a modern classical choral song, it does not gather massive coverage like some other more popular genre. I am limited by the kinds of sources I can site but as I was researching the song more after it was speedily deleted, I discovered that the song made it across the pond - Australians are singing it as well. I made a list of all the choir recordings of the song that pop up on Youtube and eventually got tired because many, many choirs sing it.

Delete per
WP:NSONG. There are references in the article, but they aren't actually about the song, just articles noting it was performed among others. It's pretty clear there's no meat here and calling it a "culturally notable phenomenon" is just ridiculous even by the most generous possible standards.

keep[1] covers the song in some depth.
[2] is an independent reliable source, though only a few sentences of coverage.
[3] has a single sentence, but more than in-passing. It's over the WP:N bar, but not by a lot. There are also a fair number of passing mentions including in the NYT.
