Sicut Cervus

Music by Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, 1608.
Lyrics from Psalm 42:1
"Sicut cervus desiderat ad fontes aquarum, ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus."
Literal translation: "Like as the hart desireth the water-brooks so longeth my soul after thee, O God."

If you've seen any of my other videos, you'll know that this is unlike anything I've done so far. Because of the constant movement throughout the piece and the unique phraseology, I decided to record 4 tracks for each of the 4 parts, a total of 16 tracks. Combined with the task of compiling four times the usual amount of video, it was a challenge! But, I've been excited to share this with you, and I hope you'll find the effort to have been worth it.

This song is not a part of any of my albums, but is available as a single. You can purchase the MP3 file here:
