I love hearing this piece sung by just the 8 voices -- you can clearly hear each one as they intertwine and grow. The rising crescendo part is just this side of too beautiful to stand.
Zahhhhhh... The richness of those harmonies! These talented humans truly do justice to the genius of Runestad's wonderful writing. Such amazing harmonies remind me of how it used to feel, to sing with other talented singers. Sigh... At least I can now go to sleep with those beautiful harmonies ringing in my mind. :)
