Sicut Cervus

Our choir performed this motet by Palestrina for the first time this past weekend, a work that is "by many accounts the most outstanding example of religious choral art from the Renaissance" (CNP).

Here is the Latin with translation:

Sicut cervus desiderat ad fontes aquarum, ita desiderat anima mea ad te Deus.

As a deer longs for springs of water, so my soul longs for you, O God.
