Church history:
There are unsubsantiated claims that there was an early Christian church on the site in 413. However it is known that in 987 there existed a church outside the city walls and to the west of Barcelona. This was a small Romanesque church dedicated to the Blessed Lady of the Pine Tree (one of the titles of the Virgin Mary). The church was built between 1319 and 1391. The original style of the church was Catalan Gothic, with a single nave almost devoid of ornamentation. However in 1936 the church was gutted by a fire and was later restored in a more modern ornamental Gothic style.

@1955marfa - Thank you so much for the comment. This performance was in a centuries old church in Barcelona, Spain without air conditioning, and in the middle of the summer. The fans were really the only cool breeze one could get going. Normally in a performance like this, you would see us performing in full tux. However it was just so extraordinarily hot, we even had to take our jackets off. We hope to see you at all of our upcoming concerts.

I know that a live performance is the ultimate recording but I see lots of people fanning themselves in the audience which becomes a distraction. I love your voices and selections. Waiting for the Christmas season to come hear you once again. Biebl Ave Maria=my favorite of all The Ave Marias!!

I met one of your singers on the train from London last weekend and he told me about your Chorale. This is beautiful and I will be looking out for you in the future xx
