Ēriks Ešenvalds - Earth Teach Me Quiet
The Crossing, Donald Nally
Ted Babcock, marimba
This never fails to put a smile on my face.
University of Pretoria Youth Choir - Ingoma (Inspired by Ithemba Musical Group)
There have been many settings of this text, but I think this one is the best.
Thomas Weelkes - When David Heard
Clare College Chapel Choir, Timothy Brown
This is Beethoven's finest work, in my book.
Beethoven - Piano Sonata Op.110
Sviatoslav Richter
I was going to post just "Im Herbst" for timely reasons, but the entire set is so great, especially with this choir performing. No one does smoother choral writing than Brahms.
Johannes Brahms - 5 Partsongs for mixed chorus, Op. 104
Kansas City Chorale, Charles Bruffy
Wade In The Water, arr. Stacey V. Gibbs
University of Pretoria Camerata

Ralph Vaughan Williams - Rest

Never was there a better example of a slow build of tension connected so tightly to the text. If the dissonances near the end don't affect you emotionally...
Henry Purcell - Hear my prayer, O Lord
The Sixteen
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina - Missa Papae Marcelli
Voices of Ascension, Dennis Keene
