[Ein Heldenleben]

I thought it was splendid, such energy and commitment. A few rough edges but that just added to it in some respects. I'm afraid I must disagree about the descant ardcarp - Willcocks but with a couple of the knobs knocked off and put back crooked. The choir I sing with has done it and no-one liked it - there were a couple comments from the audience along the lines of "did you get that wrong".

I sang along to this the Willcocks descant complete with octave leap out of a spirit of solidarity… obvs an octave lower (possibly two but who’s counting ? )

[Vox Humana]

Would God Save The Queen make a fifth ?

Not without a lot of dissonance.
