COMMENTARY

1. Long spoken sections, church ambience (female priest). Church sings a chorale, very beautiful.

2. Congregation sings along with the organ or rather, a second behind the organ.

3. Solo singing of priest (male).

5. The Lord's Prayer, note the low rumble the praying congregation creates.

7. Choir practice, heavy in the basses, soprano beautiful in the high register, singing without vibrato.

8. Rehearsing a modern piece, "searching for notes".
