I do believe morphthing1 that you are an excellent tribute to the greatness of all choral music as when I sit and listen to this it is so sad that so many people just don't want to know about anything like this. Charles, yet again excellent!

@cublhammond why thank you

Very good performance, this always reminds me of how in our choir @2:25 we change it slightly and make 'Is' a crotchet and put a crotchet rest in after. No idea how it came about though, must have been a bit of joke by the choral scholars/previous DoM at some point that has just stuck since but was a good way to confuse our current DoM when he was auditioning for the job.

@gazapc How peculiar, I may have to try that next time we rehearse it.

Thank you so much for posting this gem.

@gazapc Possibly to further emphasise the accent on the word, 'now' I would think?

It's a shame the transcription is unreliable :P!
