    Hello!
    Composed this for my choir as an easier (and, alas, less sublime) alternative to the Allegri. Will be updating with recordings/subsequent drafts. Users of this forum have permission to print, perform, and record :)

    Update: Some new edits, including a "descant" for the repetition of "Miserere Mei" at the end. I've been very pleased with how quickly our choir has picked this up.

    We sang this for a post-communion on Good Friday. All volunteer singers, and it went pretty well. My wife caught everything after the first couple of measures. My daughter (3 months old) had a few solos.

    Beautiful! I was struck by how you were able to shift the tonal base after every verse (from E Minor then the chant switching to A minor), well done!
