all whom the flood did, and fire shall, o'erthrow

[angevin2]

I was just googling the text of Donne's "At the round earth's imagined corners" (Holy Sonnets #7) to make sure I remembered it properly, since it is getting quoted in a fic I am writing, and lo and behold, I found the wonderful setting of it I sang in college, which I have been telling people about for years. So here, enjoy.

YES! I did this in high school! Of course, that means I am having MAJOR tempi issues with the first you have linked here (WHO ARE PERFORMING AT THE NATIONAL CATHEDRAL, HELLO NATIONAL CATHEDRAL!), as we kept it very sharp and quick. The Lutherans are much closer to how we sang it. I don't think I'd realized at the time how open to interpretation it must be?

See, we did it much closer to the way the first group did it! I think partly because when I sang it we only had a few opportunities to practice with the men (I was in a women's choir and we were doing a tour in which we performed with the men's choir from a different university in a couple of places, and that was one of the pieces we all did together) and we therefore would have had a hard time doing it that quickly.
