Well done. I don't think I have ever heard this taken at such a slow tempo. This is one of Paul J.'s masterpieces of arrangement. It has such rich and gorgeous harmonies, and is a true test of a choir's ability to sustain the tone without falling apart and to stay in tune. Bravo.

A little too slow for my taste. Loses the energy of phrasing. But the tone is beautiful.
