Ok I'll admit, I am absolutely addicted to this amusements section.

I didn't realize my choir had been secretly making recordings. LOL.

Priceless!
This version of Zadok is the richest thing I've heard since Rosalind Russell doing Wagner -
or FFJ (bless her heart!) trying to do Queen of the Night.

A more delightful performance of Zadok can be heard by googling -
Purcell Zadok Clare College European Union Baroque Orchestra Youtube.

I was not ready for that. Good thing I wasn't sipping coffee when the trumpets kicked in.

Anna, not Rosalind!

Roz Russell might have been an improvement.
"We're just two little girls from Roma"...

There's one of the halleluia chorus where the organist playing full organ hits the transposition button, I wish I could find it.

Ha! That's akin to transposing an anthem or a song with everything going along smoothly - until... one slips up and plays as written... and then tries to fumble one's way back to the transposed key.

Casavant Organist

Thanks MJO, now you've made me afraid to sight-transpose anything. (Not that I would, perfect pitch throws me off a bit too much)

Why didn’t The Shaggs include this in their album?
