Sang the Palestrina version in Highschool, now singing this version for a startup semi-professional group. Absolutely beautiful

[Nienpet]

In 1985 when I was chosen to sing in the provincial youth choir where I lived the Palestrina SC was the first ever piece of SATB choral music I’d ever heard. It sits in my heart and my memories to this day. This was just too beautiful. Like scraps of the old memories popping up through time.
The last choir I sang in has just won the Grand Prix in Lucca, Italy. Obviously I couldn’t be there because I live in Australia now and I’m heart broken not to be able to sing (in a good choir) anymore. So this piece of yours has lifted my soul and soothed a broken heart.
Thank you. 🙏🏼 ❤

I’m not a religious person, but this performance reaches the human nirvana of beauty. That is all.

Amazing rendition. It is as if the heaven's door is opening and inviting us to seek solace and peace in this time of great misery. This made me tremendously happy. Thank you Sofia.
