Not quite. Notice how (1) each chorister is singing at his/her own pace (as opposed to singing in five distinct groups) and (2) this piece blurs one sentence into the next (as opposed to stopping at "death", "rest", and "-ward"). I personally prefer Nystedt's directions given in "Immortal Bach" (but with the English, of course).
Very moving piece and arrangement. My high school performed this Arrangement last year and it was absolutely breathtaking.
I bet it was, the arranger has all the dissonance right there in your face, too! It is awesome
Mooie stemmen. Prachtig uitgevoerd!

Also the voicing is completely different :-)
@@padraicfanning7055 I've been wondering about this, which came first? London or Nystedt?
