St. Olaf Choir - Sicut Cervus

We were visiting the Santa Barbara Mission in California and Dr. A called us all into the chapel there. He had us sing one of our songs from tour called "Sicut Cervus" by Palestrina

This kind of spontaneous singing often can bring out a lot of surprises.... not just fun, but the sublimity of such music, when they are not intended to be "performed"

Way to stick it to the Counter Reformationist Papists!

One of my favorites... Sang this with ole choir in 1999/2000... Brings back glorious memories. Beautifully done.

I think I started bawling at about 1:06. The guys are especially awesome (except for the dive bomb at 1:48, but I ain't counting.)

This holds together without fragmenting so well, and the roar of the acoustics in that place...geez.
