another FABULOUS rendition of this my favorite song. Each version I've heard adds a different little touch. I loved the way in the middle of the song while the choir is singing, they have that single soprano voice 'ah ing' with that gorgeous counter melody

I was a part of this phenomenal choir. Still brings a tear to my eye.
This is one of my all time favorite musical pieces. The counter melody is absolutely gorgeous
