Pretty neat! (it also demonstrates the problems that arise when your organist's keyboard is WAY in the back, and the choir is in the chancel in two parts. Been there and very much done that!)

I'll see you one Anglican Chant and raise you Faure' Pie Jesu (Requiem). Our choirmaster is a bug for the French 19th c. composers. Never sang any French music until we got here, I got a quick education on the major players in choral and organ music!

We sang this for a funeral recently -- unfortunately not with the boy soprano . . . I love the clear sound, so much better than an over-vibratoed heavy female soprano . . .

Couldn't find the Farrant "Hide Not Thou Thy Face" -- can't believe nobody's posted it -- but here is Lord For Thy Tender Mercy's Sake by the same composer. A classic of Anglican polyphony!
