@choirboyfromhell1: Think they are sitting so that the ppl in the concert can enjoy the music with their eyes closed, i.e. focus is on the music and not on the singers... beautifully done.
What an ethereal performance in the round, whilst maybe not technically accurate as a live performance it would have been thrilling to be there in that setting..well done!
They are sitting in a semi circle to re enact how this Mass was written and sung during the Elizabethan Outlawed Mass. This Mass was more likely to be sung by a very small group of people in a Catholic household who were hiding priests.
Steve Birch bro I know this is around 8 years later, but you just helped me so much right now. I have to do homework on this piece for music history and im quite confused until i came upon your comment. Thank you Sensei Steve Birch😏

Amazing……
Well done , absolutely performed beyond expectation. Preferably should be sung standing to expand the air , lung and tone region I think. Bravo !!!

Ah, sublime music
Oh to be able to sing like Elin Manahan Thomas.

The alto (countertenor) looks like John Cleese
I've always thought the same thing
Lucifer has breached containment
Very well done, but why are they sitting? It always seems much easier (for tonal support) to stand-
music nerds
i really like the alto. well they are all good, but i especially like his singing
