Very nicely done! The Portuguese melody, with the SA out of Nicola Montani's setting in the St. Gregory Hymnal (we use it too!)

Y'all should try some of the beautiful stuff that Vivaldi wrote for the orphan girls at the Ospedale.

AAM, you are far, far more musically educated than I. I did know that the Ecce Panis was set to a Portuguese tune, but I am unfamiliar with Vivaldi’s Ospedale pieces.

Or rather...I THINK I’m unfamiliar with them. I will have to listen and see if I really do know them but just didn’t know the titles or composer. LOL

BTW, those girls singing are no longer 12-14 years old, and their voices have matured beautifully. In fact, they literally JUST recorded their first CD on Monday. I’m looking forward to purchasing a bunch of them to give as Christmas gifts next year.

Things are looking up, musically speaking!

Regards,
