doesn't quite capture it and the tuning is dodgy at times, just sounds strained!

@MissLilithe I was virtually sure you did know! But equally certain many readers of your remarks would not know. Only the English can save this glorious choral capability. I'm can't think of any well-trained boy (and men) choirs left here in the US at all. The Washington Cathedral has an 8 second delay/echo/reverb because of its vastness. The current choir of mixed voices makes a muddle in this large space most of the time....

@DriverRob43 Of course, I know it's a choir of boys and men. I merely used a shortcut;D On the other hand, I'm very sorry to hear that traditional choirs are becoming an endangered species in the US as well. I do hope that the choirs will never become totally extinct. Mixed choirs are completely out of their league... As much as I hate discrimination, I believe that there are some things that should not be changed. We should keep the boys' (and men) choirs as they are!

@MissLilithe Yes, only trained young boys provide the purest and clearest presence of the soprano line. Few girls or women can or will attempt to match it. This choir, however, is not a boy choir but a choir of men and boys. Here, in Washington, DC our similar Cathedral choir of men and boys was intentionally destroyed by cancelling their scholarships at the school next door so that girls and women could take their places. This sound will only be heard on old recordings in the future.

Brilliant and awe-inspiring. Let us hope that the crisis among the Anglican boys' choirs is only temporary. I wish there were more of them. Unfortunately, unthinking modernism seems to be destroying all the delightful traditional things. Well, as I have been rendered quite speechless by this utterly beautiful performance, I can only thank you for sharing. Cheers!

They're not strictly preaching tabs. Bands are simply a symbolick representation of the standard form of 19th century professional dress, replacing the white neck tie worn with a frock coat, They are worn by all members of the foundation at the Abbey, which includes the organist, but not the choir. The cassocks are scarlet because the Abbey is a Royal Peculiar, and thus under direct control of the sovereign, rather than any bishop, though many places use a very similar 'red'.

Is the choir director wearing preaching tabs? Is the Canon for Music which would mean that he is ordained clergy. Or do his tabs indicate his rank in the English Choir System. Just curious...I'm American...an Anglophile none the less...but an American one!

I heard this in York Minster at Evensong last Saturday. That moment from 3:23, the 'loudest note in church music', was absolutely devestating. The organist used what must of been the full organ with the 32' Sackbut and 8' Bombarde and 8' Tuba Mirabilis for it. PHWOAR!

I believe that "smoke" is supposedly meant to be the loudest note in Church Music.

This is the so magnificent final chorus of 'The Crucifixion' of Stainer. At our choir we sang the 'Cross of Jesus, Cross of Sorrow', but at that time I didn't know it was part 'The Crucifixion'. Recently I discovered this music and I like it as a whole very much.
