To those who are unfamiliar with music, this song is ridiculously difficult to get through. Each part acts as it’s own beast, and you must not only know YOUR part, but everyone else’s part to a T for it to pay off the way it’s supposed to. This is a beautiful performance, made all the more impressive by the difficulty of the piece.

The hardest part of singing this in my choir I think was getting the long phrases smooth and not dying from the excruciating interval jumps. Of course you need to know others' parts to know when your beat is. (Dunno why but there indeed are many people who blissfully count their long note's length in their own head, disregarding what's happening... even soloists. So it's definitely a skill that some have to work for.)

Exquisitely beautiful interpretation of this imaginative setting of "Nimrod" (Enigma Variations). Though the text is from the ordinary of the funeral mass, the theme of eternal light is singularly appropriate for these challenging times. Profound thanks for this lovely musical offering. Later -- two years later. Christmas Eve 2022 -- and again and again I return to this inspiring amalgam of text and music. At now 82, and mostly housebound, it is musical settings and renderings such as these.that keep my faith alive in my silent solitude. Thank you, Voces 8 for your inspired musical ministry to a rather derelect former choirmaster and chorister. Christmas blessings to you all!

As intimate and intense as "Nimrod" is in the orchestral version, the intensity is magnified and focused by an octet of choral voices. As of that weren't enough, the text of the prayer "Lux Aeterna" from the Latin Requiem Mass further sharpens the impact. This is powerfully unbearable in the very best of ways. Samuel Barber's "Adagio" treated similarly is on a par with this. This music and sound is almost too beauiful.

I heard this on the radio a couple of weeks ago. Of course, I was quite aware of Nimrod, but not of the addition of the wonderful Lux Aeterna text. My dear friend, who is declining rapidly with dementia, totally fell in love with this setting, and is moved to tears whenever I play it for her. Between losing her, and my own mother's terminal illness, this arrangement not only provides beauty, but some comfort in the pain of loss.
