Media vita in morte sumus - Nicolas Gombert

"Media vita in morte sumus,
Quem quaerimus adiutorem nisi te, Domine? Qui pro peccatis nostris iuste irasceris. Sancte Deus, sancte fortis, sancte et misericors Salvator noster amarae morti ne tradas nos."

"In the midst of life we are in death; of whom may we seek help but you, O Lord, who for our offenses are justly displeased?

Yet, O God most holy, O holy and mighty, O holy and merciful Savior, give us not over unto bitter death."

Nicolas Gombert's "Media vita" sung by Church of Notre Dame (NYC) Choir. I sing tenor in this recording, and I took the photos that accompany the music as well.

I like wrong notes, they make me shiver

Beauty and Dissonance. Just a single wrong note and the whole structure would fall apart.
