Here's Hymn Nr 4.
I really recommend Hymn Nr. 3, from the same Melodia recording.
YouTube has a performance of Hymn Nr.3, with Jeffrey Lyman, bassoon; Jamie Davis, cello; Francis Yun, harpsichord; Jonathan Ovalle, tubular bells.
I prefer the depth and intensity of the Melodia LP recording which I bought in Moscow:
