I placed this out there hoping that it would be used as intended; little did I know it would be used so soon. Canon Talarico informed me in July that they had recorded it within the context of the Liturgy, which was a pleasant surprise.
I would mention the singers by name, but I don't know any of them. Perhaps that will be rectified in a future comment.
In any case, thanks so much for the kind …More

In any case, thanks so much for the kind words, my friend; I am grateful!

Aristotle, this antiphon and verse is rather well composed and sung here. Excellent voices; it is audiable that they know how to sing the Latin Chant (evident from the Latin psalm tone which was embellished by yourself in the verse - given to the descantus?). Their pitch was constant throughout the piece and much vocal colour was used in shading the words for meaning.... The modal harmony is well …More
Aristotle, this antiphon and verse is rather well composed and sung here. Excellent voices; it is audiable that they know how to sing the Latin Chant (evident from the Latin psalm tone which was embellished by yourself in the verse - given to the descantus?). Their pitch was constant throughout the piece and much vocal colour was used in shading the words for meaning.... The modal harmony is well considered and its line beautifully flows towards the cadences -love the minor seconds.... (a la Des Prez and Okegheim!) Just simply splendid! Your composition does much homage to our Renaissance forefathers. Well done mate! Thanks
