A good broadcast. However, in the interest of transparency, it should be mentioned that the treble line was heavily supplemented by members of the of the Cathedral Youth (sixth form/university age) choir, thus perhaps not giving us a genuine impression of the current standard of the Lincoln top lines.

Thx for that.
Q: WHY do such a reinforcement?Comment

Yes, that rather reinforces my assertion that BBC broadcast CE isn't quite the same as 'dropping in on a wet Thursday afternoon'. Any choir/DoM will want to put on something a bit special. But you could argue (for those to whom the religious act aspect is paramount) that God is getting something a bit special too!Comment

Personally, I would question whether it ever was. The act of observing (or broadcasting) changes that which is being observed.Originally posted by ardcarp View PostMy boxes are positively disintegrating under the sheer weight of ticks. Ed ReardonComment

When I attended a Lincoln Evensong last December the large, mixed top line sounded very much as it did on the broadcast. There was quite a wide spread of ages so perhaps not so temporary?Comment
