Perhaps you read someone else's request? I wouldn't be surprised that
there are several people looking for it - it's a gorgeous alteration of the
original _Adagio for Strings_, and the Robert Shaw Singers are of course
sublime.  It's just not the version I'm looking for (which was indeed
included in the one and only post I put out - sorry)!

I seem to recall that it was part of a disc in which the same treatment had
been done to several other classical pieces (using voices as instruments -
even on pieces to which words had never been set, or for which voices were
an 'odd' instrumentation choice), if that helps ring any bells for
anyone...

Still waiting (almost) patiently,

Marguerite
