That part was sung by a choirboy by the name of Richard Thornton.

Well, there is a common theme in that there is a profound personal loss
felt in both songs.  The difference is that "All the Love" is sung from the
perspective of someone who has died and sees the reactions of surviving
loved ones, whereas "Moments of Pleasure" is the reverse: someone mourning
the loss of loved ones who have passed on.  But, yes, I suppose they are
two sides of the same coin. 
 
All the love,
