I talked to our choir director last night. She loves the piece but doesn't want us to sing it in Latin. She hadn't been able, either, to find where anyone has substituted English. So today I began, trying not only to keep true to the meaning but true to the sound; that is, keeping the long drawn-out notes and not substituting several short syllables, which I think would ruin the whole impact. Y'all wish me luck, please; I've not tried anything like this before.
