This piece will make the audience shiver and the chorus float, however it takes a lot of breath control, ensemble, vowel matching...did I mention breath control? The chorus needs vocal chops. This is why I gave it a high complexity level.
This deceptively easy-looking piece demands great concentration to do it justice, but it is fabulous to sing and is not as well known as it deserves to be.
