Perhaps the best choral piece ever written.

One of the best pieces of classical music ever written, certainly one of my favourites!

Short but perfectly formed - the slower the speed, the more delicious the dissonances.

I absolutely love this piece! And this performance is stellar as well - some of the dissonances are balanced so well that they don't even quite sound real anymore, and the plain ol' major triads are also ridiculously well tuned. Like that chord at 0:49, it sounds almost metallic somehow, even though all parts are singing a slightly different vowel =P

The only thing that still bugs me a little is the realised minor third in the last chord. Not as cool as the bare fifth I'm afraid =P

A more apt setting of the word "crying" is hard to imagine.

I love the soprano tone and semitone jumps and changes it’s so beautiful

I would like to taste this perfectly molded fudge of a piece for myself. I have been crying for days. Hear my praises. Regards
