Barber wrote it for strings, but there's no doubt the choral arrangement is subline....even better!

Agnus Dei,

qui tollis peccata mundi,

miserere nobis.

Agnus Dei,

qui tollis peccata mundi,

miserere nobis.

Agnus Dei,

qui tollis peccata mundi,

dona nobis pacem.

@gatoman46 Ha! Yea. Bringing back the best old-school 3 dimensional RTS ever made.

We almost did this piece when I was in the Liberty U Chamber singers back from 04' to 08'. I don't know why we never did it. I wish we had.

@xjroseexxo i know right????? wtheck!!!! the numbers should be the other way around.... sorry though, i cant explain it either.... i truly hope its not a sad testiment to the intellectual decay of humanity within todays society.... its so angelic and spiritually provoking....atleast for me.... i experince so many layers and levels of emotions listening to music with so much feeling like this.

@Hashpotato nicely said, ur comment coupled with the music struck a cord within me. I love this choral version its magnificant,its a musical masterpiece! Love it more each time i listen to it. It doesnt strike me as sad though like it does to others.... it moves me in a way no other form of art has.... i feel so human, humble, alive, vibrant, so incredibly thankful n so blessed to be able to feel so purely all of these emotions this 1 song evokes within the very depths of my soul <3

Something as wholesome, unworldly, brilliant, and passionate as this has 1.4 million views on youtube.

However, a simple pop song with the lyrics "We ship platinum, them bitches are shipping wood

Them nappy headed hoes but my kitchen good

I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish

A bitch would" has 34 million views.

Can anyone please explain this?
