@smurray36 What a ridiculous thing to say. How on earth is LATIN more spiritual???? I am lover of Latin music, poetry, masses, and prayers, but really- This was composed for the Anglican Church evening Office's English text. It couldn't BE more spiritual!! No amount of polemic can make one language more "spiritual" than an other!
The church choir I'm hired with is doing this piece sometime in the new year and I've been given the solo. I'm a female mezzo-soprano. Any thoughts? :)
I'm a Dutchman, so excuses for my language. W'll sing this Nunc Dimmitis with our Dutch Vocal Emsemble from Zwolle (East part of Holland). It was unkown to me until now. Thrilling! And I'm proud to sing the solo. Thrilling too. W'll sing it on our England Tour in October 2011 when we will tour with programm with English and Dutch Psalms.

should be in Latin. Much more spiritual, beautiful and haunting.

This was, by far, my favourite piece of repertoire in terms of emotional charge. Beautiful.

Great stuff - why hasn´t the soloist received any compliments so far? Didn´t he do a great job!!? And so did you, morphthing1 - thank you!

Glorious...and the organ swell at 2:00 is most wonderfully appropriate.

I just got chills listening to this.

indeed, this is one of favourite nunc's. I love how the Gloria almost sounds like an echo from what has happened before.
