How Lovely Is Thy Dwelling (Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen)

Brahms' "How Lovely Is Your Dwelling Place" (Wie lieblich sind deine Wohnungen) from Ein deutsches Requiem, op. 45, performed by the Holden Consort Orchestra and Choir.

The lyrics are from Psalm 84:

How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of Hosts!
My soul longs, yea faints, for the courts of the Lord.
My heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.
Happy are they who live in your house,
ever singing your praise.

The Requiem is timeless, the production is superb, the video is relaxing, the bilingual text is most appropriate. Having lost a spouse, I understand what Brahms was thinking and feeling.--and sharing with the world.

The video is more than what appears on the screen; it is a renewed gift of compassion and hope, Thanks to the Sisters of the Cenacle.

Thank you, you have touched more than a single faith,you, as Brahms did, touched the universal human soul in this video.
