First Thing that popped into my head, was Sierra's Homeworld.

Man, what I would give for a proper recording of this :\

@Philmriss You want the Dale Warland Singers' recording. You can find it on iTunes. It is the best recording I know of.

MUSICALMENTE MERAVIGLIOSO, ma: questa musica nasce nell'assenza di parole, solo lì ha la sua giusta e reale dimensione. Lontano da ogni riferimento personale e da ogni tempo, questo capolavoro si inserisce nella tragica e postdecadente autocontemplazione di se del novecento. non ci devono essere parole perchè non ci siano riferimenti, obblighi, certezze

Does anyone know if this recording is available for purchase? I've tried the website and couldn't find it.

What a performance!

The crescendo from 5:00 is just beautiful, and the arrangement with just the sopranos at 5:15 is magic!

This is the best arrangement of this piece I've heard.

Thank you.

que hermoso canta el coro mormon del tabernaculo!

even being so many hundreds, you can hear individual voices and vibratos... is that choir quality? I don't think so... It is quite impresive to hear such amount of people singing it though, quite nice!

The Trinity College of Cambridge came out with a CD called Voce, and you can find this song perfected by their performance. The whole CD is amazing!!! It's very hard to get because it is out of print but you might have some luck looking on Ebay or Amazon.
