<\/a>As each week goes by, I accumulate clips of music to post on Mondays. I checked last night and found only one clip stored since last Monday. But what a clip. What a coincidence. Yesterday in choir, we began practicing a piece for Lent, \u201cSicut Cervus Desiderat\u201d by Palestrina (left). That\u2019s the music I set aside.\n<\/a>
\nHere the piece is performed by the Westminster Cathedral Choir. The text is from Psalm 42: \u201cLike the deer that years for running streams, so my soul is yearning for you, my God. My soul is thirsting for God, the God of my life; when can I enter and see the face of God? . . . \u201d<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Nsw1kdLqfec<\/a>\n
