James McCoy Late comment, but they’d probably think “why the hell is there parallel fifths in the first three measures? Does this guy not know the basics of harmonic writing?” In all seriousness, they’d probably think that it sounds okay, but that it’s stylistically weird.
This is a demo by the commissioning ensemble, and the rights belong to them. Basically you need someone to commercially record it to get it on streaming platforms. Hopefully one day, but commercial choral recordings just don't happen all that often-few can afford it.

I wonder what some of the great renaissance choral writers would think if they were alive to hear this.
