Sung much more slowly than other uploaded versions, and for my money, all the better for it.

Yes, have to agree with previous comment, our choir sang this at a slower pace - all the more time to appreciate the beauty of it

Very beautiful. A little risky, having the singers with their backs to one another, and consequently the starts and finishes are a bit approximate, and I suspect the tempo is slower in part because there is some group hesitation in order to stay together. I would prefer hearing them sing in exactly the opposite disposition, in a circle facing one another, perhaps with more space between each singer, to capitalize on the ambiance of the room. But after all, it is quite a coup to perform the piece -- a formidable motet! -- in this posture, and without a director. And it made for a very attractive, artful presentation.
