Here is a lovely recording of a real choir singing it, that is well worth the listen:

And for kicks and giggles, here’s the Sistine Chapel Choir singing it under Lorenzo Perosi himself in 1908. It’s not the style we are going for… but it’s a fun historical artifact just the same. But please, PLEASE do not do the operatic wailing thing that a few of his singers are doing…
