Silent veneration

Our third year doing it this way, finally grown into and comfortable, and the Palestrina finally nailed (!); but to keep us humble, my tiny SansaClip recording it ran out of space after the first "responde mihi" because I'd forgotten to download and delete the Wednesday night rehearsal for my work-church's Easter (Anglican Solemn High Mass in English with Mozart Missa Brevis in F as ordinary).

(One of these days I'll get around to posting the Palestrina score I transcribed...but I'm moving one of my campuses into a new building in late June and that campus is year-round so right back into school, no rest for the weary!...and so on... If someone is interested, e-mail me around October and things may actually be calm enough at school for me to clean up and post the score.)
