Advent Music: Rorate Coeli

We sang this at mass today, during communion. I love it. I rejoined the choir to help out, as not everyone was confident singing this Gregorian hymn:


For a translation see the Wiki article: Rorate caeli - Wikipedia
We omit the 4th verse.

A few years ago I arranged to sing the verses antiphonally with another baritone, standing at opposite sides of the choir loft, dividing each verse into three and singing them ABA and then the next one BAB etc, with everyone joining in for the refrain. It worked quite well.
