This is such high quality. I wonder if they swung any incense for this Festal Evensong!

IF THIS IS A PARISH CHURCH, THEY SEEMED TO HAVE A VERY GOOD CHOIR.

It is a parish church with an outstanding choir. Those were the days when many parish church choirs were of cathedral standards.

Years ago, when many people were Christians, churches could attract talented people to their music programs. I remember some remarkable music at relatively small churches, but that was decades ago.
