never met you but I love you already

WONDERFUL!!!
-
I'm not discounting Robert Shaw's decision to put the low Bb in. (and I'm referring to the one two leger lines under the bass stave; which is heard here and which is absolutely NOT in the printed score) Poulenc may well have approved his decision to put this note in. But it's gilding the lily, surely.
-
@pawdaw The low B flat is there because it's in the score. My guess is that Poulenc put it there. My choir is singing it this year from the 1952 Editions Salabert, which, I would guess also, was set while the manuscript was still wet from his hand. And, for closure, the first note the bass sings is also that same B flat.

all the people arguing on here....wow... i had hoped that educated people would be more mature than the people that argue on every pop/rock singers' videos. but alas even here people have to prove that they are right.

I can understand why you might think the low Bb is just wrong for the chord. It's not traditional. But it's something I would want to include in that chord as well, if I were composing this. There's something large, open, and icy about that last chord. Like you're in a bright castle made of ice, but you're completely warm and at home in it. Or, you're standing on a mesa, staring out over a wide landscape as a slight breeze blows around you.
That Bb belongs.
