    I am singing this tonight at Christmas Eve Midnight Mass, St. James' Anglican, Vancouver, 2022. It has been 12 years since the last time - too long. One of the most beautiful motets I have had the honour and privilege to sing. God Bless.

    J'ai vécu ce moment extraordinaire à St Paul Cathedral de Londres ce 23 décembre lors du Christmas Carol Service. Une expérience émotionnelle et sonore inouïe!! Un moment d'harmonie pure dont je me souviendrai toute ma vie! Bravo aux formidables musiciens de Saint Paul (et du King's College bien sûr). Vous êtes les gardiens du Beau sur terre, vous frôlez la Main de Dieu!

      Nikolai B. That's perfectly true but not really relevant to the question of how this could remind anyone of Rachmaninov!

      @@chriscoull1156 Maybe it sound perfectly fine for you, however, the soloist did actually go sharp there, it was fortunate that the rest of the choir was not affected by that. I have perform this piece with several lay clerks from different renowned cathedrals, and not all of them was able to keep it in tune. But this is a well-known issue for this piece, which is why this specific piece is usually sung by soloists who have perfect pitch to mitigate it.

      @@thesaucegroup1877 if I remember correctly, the soloist I sang with was from Chichester, and one tenor from Durham, one from Bristol, one countertenor from Queen's Cambridge, and a bass from St. Mary's Edinburgh.
      And no, I don't know much about vocal/cathedral choir, it just happened that I was fortunte enough to sing along with them.

    As an organ scholar in my youth witnessing the obscene hypocracy of child sex abuse behind the scenes I managed somehow to hang onto my sanity by experiencing the choral tradition as evidence our species weren’t all tainted with original sin. In my dotage I still immerse myself in this music, still not experiencing as anything like proof of the existence of a deity, let alone a deity who tortured his own son ( who is himself if you swallow trinitarian theology undigested) to redeem sins he knowingly made possible by granting us free will. Anyhow, enjoy the music kiddies. .
