Joli ! Allez écouter la version de la "Maîtrise de Nîmes. Cantique de jean Racine". C'est bien aussi !

[erskellock]

Have only ever sung this in French but truly enjoyed this version! Bravo all!

[TrevorDaniels]

Very rich sound...its funny after not having sung this for 20 years, the words are coming back, in both english and french..

[cosmicviewer477]

Exquisite. I've never heard the English translation. Bravo!

[Joshdsn]

the original sheet music said for "piano or organ"

[Pianoman42100]

@jrxexxxsiren I don't think that there is an organ version, but don't quote me on that. However, I have seen organists take the piano accompaniment, and turn it into an organ accompaniment. That may be an option available to you, if you are looking for an organ arrangement.

We did this act arrangement my senior year in high school. BEAUTIFUL piece, when the dynamics are right, and performed correctly.

NICE!

Now for you language purists, I noticed that this was a reunion choir. In those types of events, there is not enough time to learn French diction. I would rather hear good tone and good interpretation than to hear the original language.

This is done so very well...Bravo Tutti....I don't mind the English...it's important to remember what these words actually mean. Thank you for a lovely performance of this most beautiful piece.

"And these, Thy gifts, we return unto Thee."

Wonderful performance, but please. Why did someone degrade this masterpiece by translating it? LIkewise, how do "Oh When the Saints" or "It's a Wonderful World" sound translated out of their original linguistic context? In a word: horrible.
