RTFM doesn't resolve to anything in Redmond :-)

Somewhere there is a wonderful video recording of a performance of this
by 40 voices in the round, under the dome of the Four Courts in Dublin.
I saw it broadcast some years ago but failed to note the name of the
choir (it *might* have been the Culwick Consort as they were then).  The
Latin Choir of the Church of Our Lady, St John's Wood, also sang it at
their 1,000th choral Latin Mass a few years ago, Claude Crozet inviting 
back some of their past members for the occasion.
