Movements
It should be noted that the score clearly shows SOLI for the entire Sanctus and has chorus entry at Benedictus (bar 114 for basses and later for all four parts.) However some conductors choose that the choir enters at bar 34 (Pleni sunt coeli) or bar 53 (Osana). Our choir recording anticipates this and has provided them and marked them as "optional."
