I had forgotten about this mode of singing, but I remember now that you have posted similar pieces before. It’s an acquired taste, but through repeated exposure I find that I’ve acquired it. It sounds very nice to me now.
It's wonderful to sing and a challenge to listen to. :) Although the dominant intervals being fourths rather than thirds is a bit odd for people used to the "four-square" hymnal settings of many denominations. (Ah, Lowell Mason, who almost single handedly changed Northern church music.)
