Thank you for this wonderful moment with the great Victoria.

this piece sung by the Somerville College is so beautifully done. It gives me goosebumps! Our Chorus is practicing this now, I love it.

Beautiful performance. After comparing the sound of this performance with one by The Sixteen in a large cathedral (also on YT), I realized just how much this music truly belongs, acoustically, in the latter setting. The melody lines are clearer and easier to follow there. In the relatively small room here, the instant echoes of the closer walls blur the sounds somewhat.

[@CassidyNoonan]

Beautiful, the harmonies are simply enchanting

[@SarahANDBrianPEACE99]

Wish my high school choir sung with this much space. Very nice harmonies and controlled voices here.

I commend the performances of The Westminster Cathedral Choir for their renditions of Victoria

C'est très beau, un grand merci!
O grand mystère,
et admirable sacrement,
que des animaux voient leur Seigneur nouveau-né,
couché dans une mangeoire!
Heureuse Vierge,
dont le sein a mérité de porter le Christ Seigneur.
Alleluia!

Tenor part is loud.

[@martyheresniak5203]

I find the choral blend and balance quite good.
