Avec grand plaisir!

Quand j'ai connu cette pièce, il y a près de dix ans, j'étais en train d'écouter dans mon lit avec un casque. J'ai dû la répéter plus de dix fois cette nuit. De toutes les découvertes musicales que j'ai fait dans ma vie, celle-ci m'a le plus bouleversé, je crois.

I totally agree with everyone. Thanks a lot for posting. I wish I could sing this piece one day!

Any chance of having the other parts recorded together with the score? :-)

@amberlight91

Thanks!

I'm a bit reluctant to post the other movements because I don't feel like it's fair to the performers, the editor of the score, ...

[Mezzotenor]

Splendidly expressive, expertly performed, and it was a privilege following the score with the performance. It's too hard to decide what my favorite moment is in this movement, but the most interesting harmonically is that sweep of ten minor chords around 2:30, which in the wrong hands would have been quite odd. Thank you for posting!

[Jubilajane]

Stunning resolution at the end. Wow.

This music comes from heaven . It's a really stunning composition. The choir is asbolutely gorgeous. I'm proud to be Swiss ;-)

@NickMedobich

Despite knowing that the piece is in fact in G or Em. 

And the last chord is a G major.

[NickMedobich]

I love this. but it doesn't seem to end on the I.

Odd.
