[chitreb]

I thought this was beautifully sung and I particularly enjoyed the two versions of Beati quorum via.

Having not sung Dyson in D for at least 50 years it was a delight to sing along as if it were yesterday (luckily nobody was at home to hear me).

[smittims]

Yes, I foud this most rewarding to hear. The Office Hymn was especially well done.
