Adiemus with the Presentation Senior Choir of Kilkenny, Ireland


I'm putting this up just because I love it and the job the Presentation Senior Choir from Kilkenny does is really marvelous. Their  director is wonderful and the choreography is striking! Not sure why I find this piece so moving, especially because the words are not Latin and do not make any kind of sense really. (Yes, there are sound alikes and actual Latin words here and there, but those are flukes!) Still it is a powerful piece, sort of primal I think. Not a bad piece to celebrate the Feast of Saint Benedict!!!

Such an instance of glorifying God --- choir and nature together --- just awesome!!!!
