In late 2006 Bel A Cappella Choir sang the Mozart Requiem in St Francis of Assisi Church in Paddington in Sydney. This is a snippet of that concert, with the "Confutatis", "Lacrimosa" and "Domine Jesu Christe". See www.bel.org.au for more info about Bel.
In my grief for my late wife, I chose this to be played at her funeral - not an easy piece on an organ but it set the scene as perfectly as I knew it would do.....a remarkable piece of music......otherworldly, fortunately there were enough musically aware people in the congregation to support a moving harmony...

I was a member of the Choir of St. Francis of Assisi, Paddington for about 5 years. It has always been one of the finest church choirs in this city, since the days of direction of Bernard Kirkpatrick. Some very great music has been sung and played in that church, and your fine choir added to that history magnificently. Bravo!
Yes, Mozart is smiling down upon you!

Still my favorite scene of The Big Lebowski, when Lacrimosa shows up!

You are correct - it's our name. We are a classical chamber, who does a broad range of music, so we sing with an orchestra where appropriate.

I think "Bel A Capella" is just the name of the choir. It seems to me they usually sing without any orchestra.

Finally the divine "Confutatis" in tempo ;) Perfect, although "Lacrimosa" is a little too fast for me...
