Beautiful voices! 🥰

You are forgiven. I can not speak danish either, but they are great. I highly recommend them. Thank you for reacting to them. I tried to give you a varied number of songs of all 3 age groups of the choirs, so I think you you should appreciate some of them. This was latin. There are just so many good songs sung by all three choirs that there are just too many to mention. My brother sang in a choral society a while back and has noticed that a lot of the time the choir is mixed with alto standing next to soprano etc. We really enjoy them, whether upbeat or more of a reverential song like this one

The nunc Dimittis is Latin. It is the song or canticle of Simeon "Now let me depart". Simeon is holding the infant Jesus in the temple. Simeon is old and believes he can now depart this life after seeing the face of God. Story in Bible, book of Luke. This song can be found multiple arrangements, verses, and melodies, and is sung today at the end of many church services before everyone leaves.
