Beautifully done, Keith. One of my favourites of Mozart’s pieces. Sigh. I had to wait to comment until the piece was finished.
Thanks Dale, every time I hear it, I wish I was in the choir.
Oh not me… I just want to lie back and have that music envelop me!
I last heard the complete work at Winchester Cathedral. I’ll never forget that evening.
I last heard the completed work at the Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal. It was breathtaking (not to mention such beautiful surroundings!)
Amazing!
It was!
Thank you Keith for this moment of pause and praise for one of the great talents of the ages in music!
My pleasure, I can assure you!
So beautifully done Keith.
That’s really kind of you, Sadje, thank you.
You’re always welcome
Simply one of the most gorgeous pieces I have ever heard or sung. Thank you, Keith, for sharing this stunning piece.
Thanks, Nancy, it’s a piece I listen to often – I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve played it since posting it today!
That is something I can appreciate.
Beautiful, Keith. Words and of course, Mozart. I’ve not heard this piece. Perfect to begin my afternoon.
Short and very sweet, I’m so pleased you enjoyed it, Denise.
An angel with skin, come to earth to bring us sacred music.
Indeed. Thanks, Lisa.
You’re welcome, Keith.
beautiful
It certainly is, Beth.
Beautiful, thank you.
My pleasure, thank you Mimi.
What a lovely tribute, Keith.
Goosebumps.
It has that effect on me too. Thanks, Natasha.
