Nicely sung. I do, however, have 3 questions: 1/ why are the men of the choir not wearing surpluses? 2/ why are the choir stalls just individual chairs behind a front that is so jarringly different in character from most of the other wooden furniture in Bath Abby? 3/ why is the Director Of Music standing on an elevated platform that is so high it needs steps? That too seems very odd.

"Nicely" sung???? IMO celestially sung! The furniture, the surplice-less choristers and the height of the steps on which the choirmaster stands seem to pale into insignificance given that fact!➕🕊🤍🕯
