Did no-one listen? We had a storm here and I was blotted out!!

Just in case anyone wasn't sure who was singing at this CE, this is from the Chichester Cathedral website:
"Choral Evensong (Southern Cathedrals Festival) sung by Chichester Cathedral Choir and the combined girl choristers and lay clerks of Salisbury and Winchester Cathedrals."

Thx for clarification.

Any service with Dyson is D is a must! Excellent, confident singing throughout.
I enjoyed the two new pieces, particularly the organ voluntary. Thank you.

[chitreb]

Agreed. I thought the organ voluntary was wonderful. The top line was impressive too, both tonally and in the various choirs singing as one.
