You are correct these are the words - Quem..... I just finished singing it at an Evensong

our brass quartet is playing to the stand... found out it's not as overwhelming... and therefore they don't have to use the mutes. Unfortunately when we started the two massive pieces for our Christmas program (This and John Rutter's Gloria) we had more members.... so them playing to the stand helped out a lot without them actually having to use the mutes
-
ummm i know that, obviously you have a problem with how i said it though ok ill say it the "proper way" ......... "mutes" or singular "mute"
-
Um. They're not "muter things"
They are mutes.
-
Exactly.
-
i'm sorry, and i could be wrong... but aren't these the wrong lyrics? Quem di vistis pastores?
-
well you see the problem with mutes is that they change the type of sound it makes, ie its tone quality.
-
wait i think they did use the muters bc i saw oneo f the brass pic something up and stuff it in their horn nvm ooooooook welll aha
-
well i was going to say that the brass have those muter things but then they woud probably almost be too quiet lol my brother had that or his trumpet and actually saturday night they used them at our concert i almost think for the end of the song but i cant remember we sang several latin songs

I understand perfectly, but the key thing is to find a brass band that is quiet, not over combering.
It doesn't quite have the same effect in English. In fact it is not effective in English. And the choir's vowels are very wide and American in sound.
