And what a gorgeous description of it, Marion! Thank you. I can't get
enough of this chant today. And yes, I think the organ accompaniment
adds richly to the beauty, besides probably being necessary for pitch
and momentum in the large space. I love the shots from high in the
west end. The medieval cathedral still vibrant and singing.
