Yes VERY difficult, but very well done! I had to sing this my freshman year at UCO and it almost killed me along with adjusting to choir in college and everything else I had to take on. BRAVISSIMO!
Very, very well performed! I don't think I've ever heard a better choir. Perfect blend, balance is stellar. And trust me, I'm aware how hard this piece is, as we spent months working on every aspect in my choir. I agree that it's not terribly exciting, though ... the dynamic contrasts could have been more, well, contrasting. Excellent work, though! Excellent! I rather like the fast tempo, even though I've only ever heard it slow - really reminds me of the King's Singers.
This one is probably one of the best that I have heard.
This is good, but this almost sounds like a text book performance. The phrasing with the poem and the sound really shows the colors, I think that they could have been more dramatic with this, without loosing the technique.(Fortissimos even louder and pianissimos softer) and that can allow for a wide dynamic range. BRAVO!
Wait till you hear TTU do this at TMEA in a couple of weeks. ;)

Seriously great -- this is a very difficult piece (sang it last Spring, and we wrestled with it so much).

@jptram00 Thanks! I completely agree that more dynamic risks could've been taken. Thanks again for ur informed analysis.
