About This Song
About "Sicut Cervus: I. Sicut cervus desiderat" by Cambridge Singers
Palestrina's setting opens with a thirsting deer, and the choir catches that ache in slow, rising lines. The music moves like water seeking a hidden spring—calm on the surface, yet restless beneath. Cambridge Singers shape the longing with immaculate restraint, letting desire for the divine shimmer in every suspension.
