@kwac88, I would say applause is a wonderful thing, regardless of whatever anyone says. Applause is an expression of joy and love, and it is honorable and decent to give musicians who worked their butts off applause for their efforts.

[kwac88]

For those against the applause: it may be a church (and I am a Catholic who understands the importance of reverence), but when such a beautiful piece fills hundreds of people with emotion, it is difficult to hold back (at least for me) the feelings it invokes, and how can one not give these singers some sort of recognition for the work that went into the piece? If I was in that church, I would be just overwhelmed, and that kind of passion is normally welcomed in the church!

[terrie dai]

This is my favorite version.

You don't know what it means to connect souls to God if you think that emotion and passion are not involved.

Beautiful voices.

Sublime - as ever!

Siete l'apice di una grande cultura di canto sacro coltivata da tantissimi decenni e secoli in Gran Bretannia. Ve ne siamo molto grati e siete esempio e stregua affinché possa avvenire un esordio simile anche nella patria di Palestrina, ove il piagnicolio penoso che si sente dai cori si San Pietro offendono l'urbe e l'orbe.

Fantastic!!!

Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine, secundum verbum tuum in pace:  Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum Quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum: Lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuae Israel.
