This is very beautiful, Daniel. Is there a text? I recognize that the tenor is "requiem aeternam", but do the other voices have a text?

Well, you can make "Nymphes des bois" fit if you like, but I'd like to keep away from the "Requiem aeternam" text. I mean, at least when I go, if we are going anywhere, I hate for it to just be resting forever, I'd much rather struggle a bit more, continue to do some work (and play). I suspect Tenney's sympathies would have been similar.
