O Clap Your Hands Together by Orlando Gibbons. The Antioch Chamber Ensemble (www.AntiochChamberEnsemble.org) and Voces8 (www.Voces8.com) join forces for a concert at Calvary Episcopal Church in Summit, NJ on March 8, 2009.
Personally I think the tempo is too frantic, in that the interplay between voice parts can not be heard clearly, unless the volume drops. Not a criticism in any way, just a very selfish personal preference. The voices and musicianship is superb! Anyway, I love Andrea Haines.
@blaatieblaatie11 Saying 'non-musicians shouldn't comment on YouTube' doesn't make you an elitist and it certainly doesn't make you a jerk. Anyone can be a musician - they just have to put in the time to practise!
Do the singers know that long notes don't need as much intensity as quicker moving passages?
For public performance, learning to stand up simultaneously makes for a good effect. (Putting the feet on the ground before levering the body up makes less noise too).

The acoustics are too dead.

Why shouldn't they?! Are you some sort of elitist jerk?
I don't like the distinctiveness of the voices. One tenor should calm down a bit.
Otherwise, veyry nice performance

Tempo was good in this acoustic otherwise it would have been slower. Non-musicians shouldn't comment on YouTube

Fresh voices.
Good style.
Tempo impossible in a more generous acoustic.
