Corsican Agnus Dei, sung by the Artemisia Trio

A new tag

(Almost) all the content on this blog consists of videos showing live performances of sacred music. 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".
