As some of you know Mrs b and I sing in a large Choral Society and have done for the last 29 years but I started singing large scale choral works as a boy soprano (a treble) 45 years ago when I was 11.The first performance I took part in was of the extraordinary Requiem by Verdi. I have sung this work in various choirs 7 times. Here is most of the final movement Libera Me. This is a stunning movement that ranges from some of the most exquisite unaccompanied singing (climaxing at 3' 47" to 4' 10") followed by an astonishing fugue for choir and orchestra and ending with the almost whispered words "Libera Me" - "Save me, Lord".
