- Pie Jesu by James Wright (mixed voices choral)
This is actually my own choir. The beautiful soprano voice that dominates the women's section? Is not me. But! I always stood next to her and sung into her ear, because although my voice is teeny tiny, my tone and rhythm are very accurate and hers are not. So if you listen to this and close your eyes, you can imagine me right next her, helping her to sound as good as she does :)

- Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen (mixed voices choral)
Again, my choir. Live performance, so it sounds kinda crappy, but trust me, it sounded great in concert. And again, the lovely soprano is the one standing next to me ;)
