TEXT
Come, sweet death, come blessed peace!
Come, lead me to tranquillity,
For I am weary of the world,
Ah come! I await you,
Come soon to lead me,
Close my eyes.

The altos sounding very countertenorish, surprised it was a female sound :) love this piece, didn't know it before

[@el7284]

This is an old sound. A continuation of the Bonner/Roberts/Steele Tallis Scholars sound: rich, bright, tastefully ebullient, and almost downright indulgent.
Hope this continues, because no one else is replicating this, not even the Scholars.
