Subject came up elsewhere. It's over 25 years now since I started singing lessons and began to sing in choirs. If you sing in a choir it is manic at this time of year with more concerts squeezed into 6 weeks than the rest of the year put together.
One of the pieces I first encountered was Pearsall's setting of In Dulci Jubilo. Pearsall was one of the composers in the late C19th that was part of the "English renaissance". The setting varies the groupings with anywhere from 3 solo voices unto 8 part double choir. I usually sing 1st bass.
