I hope you don’t mind if I post this setting, as I made the horrible misjudgment in trying to have this piece sight-read at my first CMAA Colloquium. It wasn’t an error in that everyone in D.C. Shrine at the session was in fine sight reading form throughout the session. I just was so nervous, and the piece alternates between chant-like counterpoint and German romanticism, that it was a daunting thing to attempt when you don’t know the terrain. I’m still so naive. I do remember that David Hughes was so supportive and complimentary.Anyway, this is how it should sound, albeit this amounts to a “studio” recording. I’d be glad to share it upon request.
Blessings, enjoy and cheers.
PS. I offer this sharing in the name of the souls of the dead and suffering in Japan.
Brought tears to my eyes. I've only heard the Vivaldi one. This is gorgeous
You've only heard the Vivaldi?
Are you sure you don't mean the Mozart that everyone does?
Thank you so much Charles for sharing this wonderful piece with us. I'm touched not only by the music but by your generosity and humility.
JP meant the Byrd, I'm sure. No wait, the Elgar…or maybe the Faure…..or the Gesualdo(is he off death row yet?)
In any case, thank you JP.
