This is the choir from my parish church, St. Bartholomew's Anglican Church of Swartz Creek, Michigan. We are by no means perfect. It is an amateur, all-volunteer choir, and some of us have little or no formal musical training. But we get in there and try, and I pray that we may glorify God by our efforts.
This is from Mass this morning.
Ave, verum corpus natum de Maria Virgine,
Vere passum immolatum in Cruce pro homine,
Cujus latus perforatum unda fluxit et sanguine,
Esto nobis praegustatum in mortis examine.
Hail,true body born of the Virgin Mary,
Who truly suffered, sacrificed on the Cross for man,
Whose pierced side overflowed with water and blood,
Be for us a foretaste in the test of death.

Good singing! "Ave verum corpus" is a jewel of an anthem, and a favorite of our choir (and its director). Blessings be with you all.
Thanks, Castanea_d!
It's the first time I had sung this. I hope we do it again sometime.
