This is too late to use this year, now that Septuagesima season is almost over and Lent is beginning, but here is an arrangement of Media Vita inspired by Michael McGlynn and Anuna's version of the same. Unlike that version, I don't have percussion, but like them, I do include the women in the choir when singing this with a mixed group.
The drone is not ideal, but it seems to have a dramatic effect on listeners. Many comments after mass on this piece, having performed this with three different groups five times over the last three weeks. My friend and collaborator Jacob Flaherty thought I should post it here.
