<p dir="ltr">As a " listener "on Sun, I too was struck by the clear French text pronunciation! It made that beautiful piece, made more sacred by its association with Catherine, even more moving. And our wonderfully resonant (& tall) bass section just plain shone....love & kudos to you all, MaryJean</p>
