Take a look at this. I send these YouTube videos out for our choir after Wednesday night choir practice, so that folks can practice at home.

Palestrina: "Sicut cervus" - "As the hart longs for fountains of water, so longs my soul for thee, O God."

This one has the score, so you can follow the parts visually.

Thank you. That is so beautiful. Absolute beauty.

I am going to send link to my choir director. He will enjoy it immensely.

I thought the last measure was a wonderful close to the song. A quiet, peaceful landing.

It would feel like I was in heaven if I could be in a choir in a good conservative church that sang pieces like the Palestrina. The acapella choir I was in in college sang pieces like this. As well as by more modern composers like Barber and others.
