Ubi Caritas is sublime and Durufle's setting is one that I sing in times of distress. This setting, Howells' Mag and Nunc, and David Hurd's "Love Bade Me Welcome" were the signature pieces of my former Episcopal choir. I had to pop in a couple of our CDs just to cleanse my mind of "Oh, taste and seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, taste and seeeeeeeeeeeeee, the gooooooooooooooooooodness aaaaaaaaaahv the Loooooooooooooooord, oh, taste and seeeeeeeeeeee....ad nauseum"

My favorite Magnificat is still the Vaughn Williams. Wow do I love that setting!

Hurd is one of the composers I was scratching my head trying to remember! We sang a TON of his stuff at our old Episcopal parish . . . I ordered a bunch of samples from sheetmusic.com to share with our music director!
