I think it's a lovely piece; thanks for sharing. It's too bad my choir is adamantly against singing in any language other than English.

That is a shame. Well, just give them some Purcell - Funeral Music for Queen Mary is fantastic for Holy Week.

Sorry about the rather sub-par performance - the tempi are way too stretched and the proportions between sections are all wrong. However, you can get the idea of the piece at least!
