@INCURSIONN My school has a reputation for excellence in all fields, but Chorus is one of our specialties. We're very competitive with music, since we don't have sports to compete in.
Easily the loveliest Festival Sanctus I have everrrrrrrrr heard :) Beautifully executed! And honest to God, if it was any faster, I'm afraid I'd feel out of breath just listening to it. Perfect as-is.
@300musicmaster Seriously... how much faster do you think they could do it? This is probably the upper range of what sounds good; I've never performed (nor conducted) it faster.
@cygfrydd idk but i've sang this twice now and i've done it both times (diffferent directers) at a good allegro, and this is definately a moderato, it has now energy, though im not suggesting entirely that a faster tempo can help that either, the singers are very perky now are they?
This is a little bit slower in the beginning than I'm used to. However, this is the best version because it includes an orchestra. If my school did this, I wouldn't be able to choose between singing and playing flute because I do both
I'm in 7th grade and i have to sing this song for our spring concert and for our Hershey Park competition. We just started learning it so we aren't that great at it.
three choirs in my area (including mine) are going to perform this song along with an orchestra and percussion, we hope it will sound as good as the original arrangement!
we just sang this song at our winter concert in december at our high school in mulvane, most of our altos didn't like it becuase we had to so many high notes but it went really really well.
Oh my god! haha bitchin' accompaniment. I never imagined it sounding so good with an orchestra. I sang it in my honor choir just barely, and there are only 14 people in it. but this is one of those songs for massive choirs, if you ask me.
The bass part for this song is so much fun. The only problem is that my voice is so low that it hurts my throat to sing that high. Agh. Enough of my talking.
The Orchestra is a bit Lavish, I suppose, seeing as the accompaniment is piano in the version he wrote, but not bad. Speed up the opening a bit, please.
As a side note, I think this is the only time I've ever heard Latin Sung with such a German accent.
I know the tempo of the introduction is notated Q = 120, but having heard this *many* times at competition, I think the opening is much more dramatic if it's taken a bit slower and more ... mysteriously? It contrasts the frenetic pace of the rest of the piece very well. The orchestration? Yeah, needs to be a LOT lighter and less intrusive. It's walking all over the chorus.
My choir sang this for fall concert!!! benedictos is my fave part!

The accent you hear is because this a Belgian choir. We speak in Belgium Dutch, wich sounds a bit the same as German.
