Nunc Dimittis (Burgon) -- Choir of Wells Cathedral

[Cyberstudmuffin]

A lovely, transcendant piece - thank you so much for the posting. As beautiful in its own way as the Paul Phoenix rendition. A performance like this has the ability to touch any soul.

@Cyberstudmuffin Thanks kindly for your comment. I'm so glad that a stunning but simple piece of music has the ability to touch so many people.

This is quite, quite lovely - a perfect example of the Anglican choral tradition, the best in the world - and I speak as a Roman Catholic.

Thank you for bringing us this wonderful prayer of Simeon.

Ken.

@goldieken Thank you very much for your kind comment, Ken. I see no reason at all as to why we shouldn't be able to appreciate and enjoy music from other traditions-- especially when the music is as beautiful and well-sung as this. I'm glad that others agree.

Best version of this song in my opinion, words can't do it justice. Pitty this upload is so quiet :(

[1finch2finch]

@PeterGratrex Thanks kindly, and I'm sorry that this and other of my uploads are so soft. I work off of a Macbook, which are notorious for their quiet speakers; but I don't entirely understand why the hardware should impact the volume level of the track, which was a digital download. :[ If anyone knows how to change the volume (apart from listening on headphones), I'd love to know.
