    A photo on Twitter of the rehearsal for the broadcast suggests more than 3 on each back row (although you can only see one side). Also it looks like a mixed boys and girls top line. Is this a new norm or just for the occasion? https://twitter.com/salcathchoir/sta...23262247718913

    A most enjoyable broadcast.

      I think many cathedrals like to keep the boys' and girls' choirs operating seperately (e.g. singing CE on different weekdays) but combine perhaps the senior choristers for special occasions. Good idea IMO.

          I've now listened to it three times, love it.

          Has anyone noticed that the gents' pronunciation occasionally reminds one of those King's recordings from the early '60s: "My soul doth megnify...", "End the rich...."...
          "...the isle is full of noises,
          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
