On of the finest pieces of music/singing in all of humankind. Truly inspired by the Creator/Redeemer.
Sir John is gift of love from the God.

Heartful sound!

[@TheSilentForceWT]

when my choir sang this we sang really loud and strong from "with ecstasy" to the end. i think it had a more intense effect than the diminuendo, but that's just my opinion.

[@5691Mark]

I prefer this recording to the Westminster Choir recording. Singing is fine on both but the director here recognizes that funeral music need not be sung the tempo of a dirge to be "meaningful."

I agree with 5691Mark on this recording. What is more, this choir's enunciation is superior to the Westminster choir's.
