[xxsingstarxx1]

absolutely ffantastic...i think the conductor is my singing teacher...Mr Shaw??

[4Loki]

amazing piece, I love it... especially the miserere mei part

[flamdrag333]

like a lot of people commenting i also do not agree with SOME of the dynamic fluctuations and ALL of the rhythmical changes. the style when it was written kept most of the parts near the same dynamic level and only bent ever so gently up and down at the beginnings and endings of LOOONG phrases. i just wish the whole piece could sound like the ending!! superb performance, great choice, just a couple interpretation liberties that didnt quite fit the time periods style :-)

[AlainNaigeon]

Quite cool, though I'd like to hear better the bass line in the final "amen" (probably because I've worked that piece, singing the bass) ;-)

[Clacross28]

This is exquisite.

[GaaraFangirl117]

i guess there's two Ave Verum Corpus, though the words are exactly the same as in Mozarts.

I am very confused. o.o

[Risayogi]

I thought renaissance songs don't have a lot of dynamics change like that.

CMIIW.

Still, it's a great music. My choir's going to sing it in a local choir competition next Tuesday.

This piece has alot of crescendos and decrescendos. I don't believe this style was meant to be stagnant, I think it was meant to arch kind of like the very church corridors, crescendoing until a high point, and then decreschendoing into the ending of the phrase.

@ChuckNorrisFan101 'Decrescendo'? That's a new one on me, I've only ever used 'diminuendo'.

[SiththeSmith]

Absolutely sublime!

[BerkoMatus]

nice one

[gasness1]

doggone, radical dynamics

[tobewelsh]

Really quite amazing, specially a week before Christmas
