This group is one of the greatest all male choruses on the planet. Also to note, as in the description, they had not performed this piece in such a long time, yet they locked so many chords it seems almost unreal.
@Nonie46 Giovanni Pierluigi lived in XVI century, exactly when the castratis were popular. So this was actually sang by them, that's why I belive he is not tossing at all...
The original is TTBB, actually; this version is sung perhaps a half-step below what the original would've been. The original is marked a whole step higher than this, but I think that today's standard pitching (A=440) is considerably higher than what would've been in effect during the Renaissance.

Why are they swaying about like a bunch of prats?

What a bunch of self absorbed dweebos. It's the MUSIC, STUPID.

Good performance. However, it lacks dynamic subtlety and nuance.

Palestrina must be tossing in his grave! Their voices sound like a mixture of castratis!

@1037pm This was in the previous year's repertory, so only returning members sang it (no first year members), and quite a few basses had graduated.

Beautiful, it's too bad that we dont get to go to concerts after my son graduated.
Wonderful of you to record and put it out here. More please!
