I think it is superb. It works up a glorious "alleluia" which so brilliantly captures the inner feeling of the two women upon arriving at the tomb to anoint the body when they discover that it is not there but that He has risen from the dead. It is a brilliantly powerful image, musically and in every way.
It isa setting of the first verses of Ch 16 of St Mark's Gospel - dum transisset sabbatum Maria Magdalene et Maria Iacobi et Salome emerunt aromata ut venientes unguerent eum et valde mane una sabbatorum veniunt ad monumentum orto iam sole - "when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought sweet spices, that coming, they might anoint Jesus. Very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen".
You can check this album out: Tallis Scholars - The Best of the Renaissance or the music of Gabriel Fauré, Gregorio Allegri. Album Cinema Choral Classics is also worth of seeing.
Terrible. Sinks in pitch within the first few seconds. Pretty bad for a band known to record in seven-second bits all stuck together.

I absolutely love it!!! Catholics and Protestants should have this kind of music during their masses if they want to attract people :P
