O Magnum Mysterium

Hi everybody!
Sorry it's been so long since my last post. A lot has happened since then. The bad news is that mom had a stroke and is in a nursing home. Please pray for her. The good news is that a leading classical music record company wants me on their label!! Please pray for me!! I'm 60 years old and have never had a voice lesson. Needless to say, it's a bit intimidating to have a CD of me singing released into the serious classical music community! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. This is a rework of Lauridsen's O Magnum Mysterium. Enjoy!

RE: O Magnum Mysterium
Best wishes for your mom. O Magnum Mysterium does not exactly match your experience right now but the music (esp. Lauridsen's version) sounds really cathartic. But not bad on the singing! Although, if I may nitpick, you could use some more hard pronounciation on the Latin and the 'sacramentum' part on 1:21 should go from G to E (on the 'sa-') instead of G to F#, if I am not mistaken. Good luck with your singing!
I believe this is a smoother version. Let me know what you think.
