Sicut Cervus
This was probably the most beautiful pieces we did in high school choir. If memory serves, it was my senior year and it was introduced to us at Big Nine Select but Mr J had our choir in Austin do it. Gorgeous.
A translation can be found here. The first line has always captivated me. 'As the deer longs for running water, so longs my soul for you, O Lord.'
Yes I miss singing in choir.

You'd always be welcome at Wooddale. We can use more tenors, and we sing some pretty amazing pieces too.
That was very beautiful! I miss singing in a choir (& playing in an orchestra) too. *sigh* Oh the things you take for granted in your youth.
