Lyrics from King James Bible; II Samuel, 18:33:

he went up into his chamber over the gate and wept,
my son, my son, O Absalom my son,
would God I had died for thee!

The burgundy dress is refreshing instead of the classic 'black' for everyone.
So beautiful. Another masterpiece by Whitacre. And talking about masterpieces, your work is mesmerizing. Hope to see you in Portugal someday. ❤
This performance is a very beautiful harmony. My heart is trembling with emotion!
Whiteacre is fashionable, but his music seems not to be more appropriate then the excellent versions by Renaissance and Baroque composers.
Beautiful- so touching- I can feel the grief & pain of David. A masterpiece!
Thank you so much for this stellar performance of this beast of a piece! Fun fact, I've heard countless time the "official" recording from the Whitacre Singers from Water Night, and never realized their tenors "messed up" the interval bar 103 (then went up a fourth instead of a minor 3rd),
