COMMENTARY
1. Rather uncharacteristic, loud introduction (truck driving by), compared to what follows after: quiet ambience of Gamla Stan (no traffic allowed). A footstep symphony. The bells in this take are ringing time only. A clear reverberant car horn after bells.
2. Clock and bell of Jacob's church preceded by another distant bell.
3. Swearing and strong wind on mics at beginning. Entry into church: nice change of ambience. Long reverb time inside church; words of (female) priest hard to distinguish.
4. Unison singing.
5. begins with a chorale and solo singing.
6. Female priest and congregation sing.
7. Congregation praying in unison; choir toward end.
