Lyrics from King James Bible; II Samuel, 18:33:
When David heard that Absalom was slain
he went up into his chamber over the gate and wept,
my son, my son, O Absalom my son,
would God I had died for thee!

Beautiful- so touching- I can feel the grief & pain of David. A masterpiece! I’ve listened to a few choral groups singing this song. Your group is definitely a favorite of mine. It touched my heart. 💜

Thank you so much for this stellar performance of this beast of a piece! Fun fact, I've heard countless time the "official" recording from the Whitacre Singers from Water Night, and never realized their tenors "messed up" the interval bar 103 (then went up a fourth instead of a minor 3rd), 8:04 in your recording here, you made me realize that ! So a very specific thank you 😁

The burgundy dress is refreshing instead of the classic 'black' for everyone.

Whiteacre is fashionable, but his music seems not to be more appropriate then the excellent versions by Renaissance and Baroque composers.
