Superb rendition. You perform the chorus (Deo gratias...) more skillfully than anyone I've ever heard. I love the haunting setting too.

Thanks - I need a few more voice lessons, though! ;-)

Actually, Agincourt was in 1415.

Thanks for the hint - I corrected the video info. My voice was a bit off, too, so it seemed natural... ;-)

[CheesePlant]

Excellent thank you :)

Very nice!! There is nothing wrong with your voice. If there are any "imperfections," that only adds to the character of the hymn!!! "Too perfect" is not always better :-) I could give a hundred examples.... Just keep it up and have fun!

I am using your video in my Middle English seminar at university. Thank you for such a beautiful performance.

The lighting and setting for this medieval English epic is perfect. Great singing too. :)
