We did this as 2 choirs, one on stage and one up in the balcony at the back of the auditorium. It gave me chills to perform it. We practiced it in the choir room for weeks, but until you split the choruses up you don't appreciate the true beauty of this piece. Our director was very good at pronunciation for performance, meaning he had us add extra "e, or a's" to keep the diction crisp. You don't notice the added vowels, but it sure keeps the voices tight. good job and thanks for posting.
Great job on this piece! 8-part harmony isn't easy to do, and like one of the comments said above me, this is the best quality sounding one i've found so far.
I have an amazing recording from the Southern California Honor choir of 1995, unfortunately its on tape. I have to find a way to get it up. This is better than the other recordings on youtube.
I did this at Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp this summer; I also speak a bit of German. The pronunciations are a bit off. For example, "lande" should be pronounced "londe".

This is very beautiful, one of my favorites this year for choir. ^.^
This year, we're doing this for IMEA and frankly, I needed the extra help. (the notes and the pronunciation XD)
