It is in my DNA to love this tradition of music. I don't have another explanation.

Fantastic. An incredibly consistent choir. Stuff like the Croft has pretty much disappeared from cathedral repertoires today.

Quite a sublime and glorious Evensong under Roy Massey, whose standards are there for all following, in all our choirs and cathedrals subsequently, in terms of discipline and exemplary standards. Thank you for a truly wonderful service, rejoicing through music in the glory of God, to whom we duly give honour and praise. This service is an inspiration to us all in Christendom.
