I was priveleged to be able to take part in a recent performance as a choir member. This is the most moving work I have ever sung. The work has stirring, dramatic movements and some poignant, beautiful melodies. I really had to take a grip on myself in the performance to be able to sing the last movement. Even hearing an excerpt from the cello solo as background to a short wildlife documentary on TV made the tears well up.
