Oh dear Lord Jesus, dear Lord Jesus... Heady music, and breathtaking.

I sang most of his music as a young choirister. It has been difficult to come across this music later

wonderful music

Omg it took forever to find this! I once performed Deep River for highschool choir and unfortunately the sheet music we were given didn't have an arranger so I could never find the dang thing. I'm so glad I finally found this after years!

I did not know Michael Tippet's music and was really astonished that he wrote such nice music.

Another gorgeous piece by Tippett is "Fantasia Concertante on a Theme of Corelli." Also check out his "Suite for the Birthday of Prince Charles."

I like in the big ralentando by the soprano solo in the first movement, but I know the words as I "ain't" got long to stay here. Sounds nicer than "han't". I don't think I've heard the other pieces from this setting, so thanks for uploading it!

When I did it a few years ago, we changed the words to "ain't".

Is this first 4 minute piece used in modern funeral’s requiems?

What are the songs used in the medley?
