Stumbled upon this recording. It's a wonderful piece from Brahms' Requiem. It's one of those that makes me wish I were a tenor. Great parts all around here, but the tenor line soars.

Yes! That whole piece is amazing! And the fact that the texts are all from the Bible is a great bonus, of course!

For me, the height is the Robert Shaw Chorale. The Brit choruses are too wimpy for Brahms, IMO.

The civic choir I used to belong to did the Brahm's Requiem several years ago - it was a wonderful experience. Our church choir is going to do "How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place" this coming season - of course, there will be a huge difference between 20 voices and a piano and 50+ voices and a small orchestra but it will still be good.
