Sorry for the absence, but is there another DPL on this project or can I catch up on the recordings?

You are welcome to catch up as we still lack one poem which I am going to read so we can get this project finished.

Thanks,

Hello! Sorry for the delay, sections 4, 8, 20, 21 are PL OK
Section 19 is a little difficult to listen to; the audio quality is poor. I don't know if that's something you can fix with a little editing or not, it's not intolerable to listen to. It's just a bit of contrast when listening to this as a book, not as standalone poems.
I will finish proof listening hopefully this Thursday

Here's an attempt at Dies Illa, section 41. I have not recorded multiple voices where choruses are describes as speaking in unison, and I have sung very badly when singing was called for (which seemed in keeping with the tome of the piece)... let me know if either of those are problems.
Length 11:10

Absolutely brilliant. I loved your rendition. Your singing was inspired.

Thanks,

I've marked the last remaining section as PL OK so it is now complete..

Thanks everyone for your efforts on the project. I couldn't have done it without all the readers, our DPL, and our MC.

I appreciate everyone's efforts.

Thanks
