Pärt’s magnificent Beatitudes setting
I’m not sure how this is legal, but here is a very good recording of Arvo Pärt’s setting of the Beatitudes:

I will never understand why someone decided that the gospel reading for All Saints (in the pre-V2 Missal, mind you!) should *not* include the part of the Beatitudes that talks about “prophets”. Duh...

I dunno about the gospel reading, but the Pärt sound wonderful! For how many voices is it scored?
There is a discussion on the music used during the papal liturgies during B16's visit - you two may want to comment..

It’s SATB.
Hehe, I am abstaining from the discussions about the Papal liturgy music, except to say that having an American Idol winner sing Schubert “Ave” at a Papal Mass was about as “good liturgy” as “Make Me a Channel of Your Peace” sung as a funeral responsorial psalm to a honky-tonk guitar accompaniment.
