    Even though I am an atheist, I find this music absolutely divine. It seems religion was a powerful source of inspiration for musicians and composers.

      I think a lot of people become atheist because most religious scriptures are taught in too literal and dogmatic a sense vs the spiritual and philosophical way I believe they were intended. When it's held up to be literal, factual truths it falls to pieces in front of a logical mind almost instantly, but this was never its intended use I do believe.

    I think this is the best rendition of Samuel Barber's Agnus Dei. I would rather enjoy playing it more if it wasn't for the audio quality (over modulation and distortion) on this video. It will be nice to re-upload this master piece.

    This is a stunning performance, but only about half of it is in this video. The best part comes later when the kids hit some unbelievable high notes. Still, I'm glad I saw this because I only heard this on the radio once and didn't know that the soprano voices were boys or that there was a video at all. I'll have to buy that CD.
