    Lyrics : Chorus: Do not be afraid, for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name; you are mine. When you walk through the waters, I'll be with you; you will never sink beneath the waves. When the fire is burning all around you, you will never be consumed by the flames. When the fear of loneliness is looming, then remember I am at your side. When you dwell in the exile of a stranger, remember you are precious in my eyes. You are mine, O my child, I am your Father, and I love you with a perfect love.

    what shithead did this? there is no way an English speaking person could get a clue as to what this is about. this is about the murder, by sword, of many Jewish toddlers, and infants. IF YOU ARE GOING TO SING THIS, SING IT RIGHT. this is not about your artistic bullshit. this about Matthew 2, YOu f** . this is not about your wonderful musical skill, or the superb voices of your ensemble, this is about the fact that when jesus was born, the enemy did what he always does, scortched earth, murder every possible baby born in the area, recently

      What are you ranting about? If anything, you should address the composer, not the ensemble. This is a most beautiful rendition of the Coventry Carol. Get a grip on yourself, and watch your mouth. You have neither culture nor decency.

    This is truly a fantastic rendering of the Durufle Requiem. How thirteen voices produce such powerful sounds is amazing. The organist is an exceptional artist. Mr. Chu in the Libera me was fantastic. However, the other two soloist I found disappointing. Overall, I doubt there is another performance that can top this one.

    Love the countertenor leaning on "afraid". Until now, I was the only one doing that. A little work on diction and a bit less American accent, this almost as good as Voces8. The soprano here has good straight tone like Andrea(V8). Too much vibrato from the soloist, however.
