Incredibly clever and beautiful. Love those "dischords" that resolve. I think the tempo is fine. Would make it a little more managable for the less experienced choral singers, especially as the harmony is not "predictable" and many would struggle with the pitch alone. FANTASTIC!
Great choral sound, but definitely too fast. There is, however, a recording with the PERFECT tempo (7:16!) on the CD "A Hymn for the World." I'd paste a link, but whenever I do my posts here fail.

(I wonder if Brian Wilson listened to Messiaen).

Perfect! Especially love the not overly slow tempo. Flawless intonation even on the trickier changes.
