Ratzinger's University of Munich Singing the Motet of the Episcopal Consecration Day

Here enjoy this Mendolssohn (Psalm 90:11 [91 in non-vulgate editions]) motet for eight voices which was sung by the Regensburg Cathedral Boys Choir (Domspatzen) directed by Father Georg Ratzinger on May 28th, 1977 to celebrate the Episcopal consecration of Joseph Ratzinger Archbishop of the Munich-Freising diocese.*

This is a superb performance by the University of Munich Student Choir, the University where Ratzinger also did all of his theology studies.

Ad Moltos Annos Papa Emerito Benedicto!

*As noted by Pablo Blanco, Benedicto XVI: El Papa Aleman, Planeta Testimonio: Barcelona, 2010, p. 232.
