About to sing it in two weeks! Thanks for posting - you have to love TH-cam for ease in practicing! Beautifully sung and played, by the way!

Yes agreed, tuning the middle section is tough for "any" choir that's certain. The tempi were intentionally quicker to account for the length of the melodic lines in general not the intonation challenges inherent in them. Glad you enjoyed it.
