My favourite Lauridsen piece, and you have performed it so intuitively.. Your voices and artistry are compelling.

Sure on this shining night
Of starmade shadows round
Kindness must watch for me
This side the ground
On this shining night
This shining night
Sure on this shining night
Of starmade shadows round
Kindness must watch for me
This side the ground
On this shining night
This shining night.
The late year lies down the north
All is healed, all is health
High summer holds the earth
Hearts all whole
The late year lies down the north
All is healed, all is health
High summer holds the earth
Hearts all whole
Sure on this shining night
Sure on this shining night
Sure on this shining night
I weep for wonder
Wandering far alone
Of shadows on the stars
Sure on this shining night
Of starmade shadows round
Kindness must watch for me
This side the ground
Oh, this shining night
This shining night
The shining night
Sure on this shining night

wow. Beautifully performed.

[@JimLong-ml1jy]

I weep every time I listen to this.

[@kelsocampbell1301]

...the germ or essential cell of this reminds me of Beethoven's "Missa Solemnis",...1st mvt."Kyrie". nice music....a lovely homage to the more "pastoral" side of Beethoven.

[@DavidtheWriter]

Your performance is rich, soulful and beautiful in so many ways. And I see it’s a live performance. But I do hope you invest in good or better microphones and a mixer so your audience can better appreciate and in turn create the group’s rare qualities.

[@jorgjakob3042]

Wunderschön und Perfekt!!

[@richardduffy7926]

Couldn’t agree more.

[@christat7367]

Lieblings Musik, wunderbar interpretiert, so schöne basierte Stimmen... Obertöne reichlich... Danke ❤

[@elizabethellis4759]

This is very moving and lovely. ♥️
I apologize for being a Grinch about diction but I would just like to have more diction so every word comes through.

[@user-ve3qo6fd1s]

When I saw the title I thought of Samuel Barber's song. This was not what I expected.

[@revelation1215]

Beautimus

[@kelsocampbell1301]

...that's some real music, considering that composer essentially restricted himself to the tertian/diatonic system, but it somehow works for him. ...

[@annenyman678]

Interesting that they are using iPads to do this.

[@MicahThurston]

Pretty common nowadays

[@ginapitrone7502]

Lovely!
