Excellent performance

One explanation tor different diction is that this is a Chinese choir singing in a second language. Given that, it's a lovely job.

One word! UNIFORMITY!

im my opinion there was not enough diction in the alleluia. it sounded like like ah- eh-you-ah. ALSO not enough guys in the begining especially basses. our choir did this and as a highschooler we did good..... also at the end i believe its in eather 3/4 or 4/4. it didnt ask in the music to speed up that much. great choir though

Excellent! Great phrasing and precision. I really appreciated the control at the end of each Alleluia- way too many choirs "blat" at the end of the word, especially when in increasing volume. Because of the delicacy of this piece, it is easy to ruin. No worries here- this was a very, very beautiful rendition. As my conductor said when we did it "I want it to be so quiet in there when you're done that I can hear a pin drop- and that's a carpeted floor!" And it was. Many thanks.

Don't breathe between Alleluia's

very beautiful music
Why on earth would you NOT breathe between Alleluia's?

@kosins01 When we sang it in high school, the teacher said it was to sound like a continuous sound without break so we were to alternate our breathing. The result was amazing and haunting.
