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.

ahh, homeworld, epic game, epic music

[Hashpotato]

listening to this I can't help but think of the suffering of man and the paradox that is humanity. That we are capable of creating such beauty in our music, paintings, sculpture, poetry, film and yet our inhumanity, our ability to cause such incredible grief and suffering is always constant. This song is an ode to all who have suffered man's inhumanity.

The first time I heard this incomparable composition was in the 1972 Olympic games at Munich, in tribute to the Israeli athletes that were brutally slaughtered there. There is something about the piece that makes it a clear choice to express the sadness and solemnity of a senseless tragedy. 9/11 exemplified this, and the orchestral version played at Ground Zero moved me entirely. The same thing happened at my Father's death as I heard this music in my head as his coffin rose to the heavens.

@Daftlander Yes, an amazing game.

@paulmaster999 I totally can agree with you that this should be deserving of more attention than it does today. I can't understand why people would enjoy popular music of today especially 'I'm sexy and I know it'.
