The hardest piece I had to ever translate and sing at University level was Bernsteins Chichester Psalms. The real technical aspect was learning the Hebrew language. If you never have I certainly think it would be a challenge. There were only three guys who could learn the language and sing the tenor part in our entire choir.

That was many moons ago Bec. I would have to practice scales for at least six months to even attempt this piece again. And the language is a barrier in itself.
