Okay, ALMOST everything. :D

You should like this then:

Thomas Tallis: "O Nata Lux"

We sang it Sunday, folks seemed to like it (what sound like mistakes at the end of the first section - and again at the end of the second section - are deliberate cross-relations. Drive you nuts.)

We also sang this one, for offertory:

Ludovic Viadana: "Exultate, Justi"

They mess with the tempo more than we do. We sing the first and last parts more slowly, then the middle section at a good clip, but with no rubato anywhere. Our choirmaster maintains that Renaissance motets should have an internal pulse that does not vary!
