This music video is comprised of photographs taken by me in and around the Washington National Cathedral in Washington D.C. Even for a late February day, the cloudless sky made the light inside the cathedral absolutely fantastic!
@IMT00FIERCE I'l go you one better: The berlioz Requiem, with the great organ replacing the orchestra and three brass choirs stationed in the three galleries beneath the three rose windows - North Transept, South Transept, and West End (Main Entrance)!
@ShesaFancyshadow I want to sit in that church and hear Mozart's Requiem be performed int here. It would be the epic of epics. I have been there and its beautiful
i wouldnt call the acoustics fantastic. it has a 14 second echo, it would be hard to find a piece that could last that long. probably a gregorian chant
I just had the tremendous luck to spend a week there as the choir-in-residence, as part of a Royal School of Church Music training course. The only problem was that the docents were convinced that we were a school group and wouldn't let us into the choir room. It was fun evading them :) the place has fantastic acoustics (though challenging for a choir, since it's hard to hear yourself). And it's so beautiful that even these very good photos don't do it justice. Thanks for the video!
Well even if it does become dust and rubble it shows what dedicated men can do. If it is destroyed then they can build another even better.

@Sweden8990 Have't seen any so far, except for an old man who goes to many organ recitals, but I do't stoop over too much!
