"Ye Shall Have a Song" - Randall Thompson

I love the way this song builds and builds, and then suddenly stops for a moment, letting the word "pipe" reverberate in the hall.  During the "goeth with a pipe" section, if you listen carefully, you'll hear the phrase repeated lower and lower through the male parts, from the first tenors to the second basses.  This piece is sometimes sung without the first part (~40 seconds), which is how I sang it with a choir in Boston.  Enjoy!
