OK, this is a test. If you want to hear my choir singing "Pie Jesu", by James Wright, you can click here Pie Jesu and download it.
If anybody does try it, let me know if it works - or not. I think I'm doing it the way![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lonejaguar does, but am not entirely sure.
Oh and if you listen to the song, any time you hear one particularly clear/loud/lovely voice in the first soprano line, that's, um, not me. That's Margaret. But hey, I stand right next to her and she says she often listens to me for direction. So you can picture me, softly singing next to the lovely voice, keeping it on track ;)
The words, BTW, are as follows:
They were written for September 11, but are also meant to be used as funeral music. The 'eis' (them) may be replaced with 'eam' (her) or 'eum' (him). This recording was made the first time our choir performed the song, on November 12, which happened to coincide with my mother's inurnment. I thought she would have liked the song, so I invited Guy, Chris,ninja_kat and Mr. ninja_kat to the concert, and that day I sang it for my mom.
