I try to keep Sunday postings inclined towards the spiritual as much as possible. These guys may look like a mid-90s Seattle garage band but wait until you hear what they can do with Palestrina’s Adoramus Te, Christe (We adore Thee, O Christ)
I thought they might be a Catholic schola/choir but, from what I can tell the Farther Along Octet hails from Goshen College – an institution in the Anabaptist-Mennonite tradition. I wish they’d convert…
Here they are performing Palestrina’s Sanctus:

Forgot the list the lyrics for Adoramus Te, Christe:
Adoramus Te, Christe
We adore Thee, O Christ,
et benedicimus tibi,
and we bless Thee,
qui per sanctam crucem tuam redemisti mundum.
because by Your Holy Cross You have redeemed the world.
Qui passus es pro nobis, Domine,
Lord, You Who have suffered for us,
Domine, miserere nobis.
Lord, have mercy on us.
As for the lyrics to the Sanctus, just open your Missal.
