Other versions differ in various ways, but are still good to get a sense of how this song can sound:

I will be using this space to post links to music that the St Edward's parish choral group is, or might be, learning. I won't delete my old posts unless I spot any dead links, but I had better put in a disclaimer: this blog is not affiliated with any parish or diocese, and nothing I have posted here prior to this date is in any way related to St Edward's parish. It's just my personal sacred music blog where I used to share stuff that I liked!</p>Ben Whitworthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00499311491843942923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8447782662880906160.post-67910094116216066282021-09-20T15:54:00.000+01:002021-09-20T15:54:03.913+01:00I wrote another article<p> It can be read here: <a href="http://www.uco.oldham.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Spark-2020-21-web.pdf">http://www.uco.oldham.ac.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Spark-2020-21-web.pdf</a></p><p>Start on page 20.</p>Ben Whitworthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00499311491843942923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8447782662880906160.post-15341592306854257852021-02-01T13:18:00.002+00:002021-02-01T13:18:00.642+00:00Agni Parthene at the Bigorski Monastery, Macedonia <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jb0MArEeq2w" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>Ben Whitworthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00499311491843942923noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8447782662880906160.post-44764414857088473972020-05-03T21:02:00.002+01:002021-01-17T20:54:05.135+00:00I wrote an articleIt can be read here: <a href="http://www.scottishmusicreview.org/">http://www.scottishmusicreview.org/</a><br />

However, most of it is concert footage. Since this music was largely written to be performed in the liturgy itself, I have decided it is worth flagging up those performances that were actually recorded during divine worship. I have therefore retrospectively tagged all such posts with the label "Liturgical performance".Ben Whitworthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00499311491843942923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8447782662880906160.post-43847461644142958362019-05-06T21:10:00.000+01:002019-05-06T21:10:04.503+01:00Jesu rex admirabilis by Palestrina, sung by the Pultz family<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nX-fdGqz8OQ" width="560"></iframe>Ben Whitworthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00499311491843942923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8447782662880906160.post-61659366214351274362019-04-28T15:26:00.000+01:002019-04-28T15:26:05.584+01:00The Last Bright Rinsings, by Gemma McGregor<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UQ3frDj7Pck" width="560"></iframe><br />
