Nice Christmas Mass Recording -Diabelli
  • A good recording of an amateur choir from the Twin Cities that is not Saint Agnes. The trebles are made up of boys and mostly girls from the K-8 parish school, along with some high school and college-age graduates. Many of the men sang in the parish as kids themselves. https://youtu.be/moVqGqkt_kU
  • Thank you! That piece has tremendous musical sophistication for a Pastoralmesse: "And there were shepherds in the fields, programming their computers by night." Now I want to hear the rest. And very well performed, though the recorded sound doesn't really do it justice.
  • I know...the microphones were very simple and the parish had lots of babies, hence the crying. And it was recorded live at Midnight Mass in December, hence the coughing! :)
