Which one did you sing? I must have posted half a dozen by now (including some really off the wall Sacred Harp which is a hobby of mine). If you look at the Sacred Harp trailer, one fellow says, "They asked me, 'Do you want to sound like a bunch of uneducated Southerners?' I said, ' . . . YEAH!'"

Our church seats 840. Fortunately, not everybody shows up for Mass at the same time.

The Batten "O Sing Joyfully". We sometimes sing pieces that are a cappella and in canon from the transepts. It's really cool, actually.

When you do the pieces from another time when all people did was study, you appreciate the musicianship that we've somewhat lost.

We do Sacred Harp from time to time, but as we are the Cathedral Choir, it's not all that often.
