Love the performance - but What God hath done is rightly done - Cantata BWV 99 Opening Chorus - is NOT(!) BWV 99 but BWV 100 : "Was Gott tut, das ist wohlgetan," (BC A191) Loads of love to all of you Bach fanatics out there ;-)

Percy Grainger also did an arrangement of "See, what his love can do" (which is the most beautiful title for a piece ever, by the way...) It's for Wind Orchestra and it's really nice.

MastaDamascus you ask who is the flute player: she is one of the wise virgins!
