When I lived in Türkiye, my parents came to visit so we were doing the tourist thing at Ephesus. We hadn't gotten very far in and were just walking around the theatre when a young girl gets up center stage and launches into Ave Maria. It was haunting and beautiful and none of us spoke. We just sat down and enjoyed the show for a couple minutes
I have a lot of issues with religion, but being in some of those old churches/cathedrals is something else. The architecture, the acoustics, all just amazing.
I attended services at Canterbury, St. Paul's, and Southwark Cathedrals. St. Paul's leaves me a bit cold, but the acoustics in Canterbury and Southwark were absolutely magical and unforgettable. There is absolutely nothing like it.
What's most impressive here is the architectural engineering, finding the golden angle for acoustic reflection revolutionised ecclesiastical stonemasonry and led to this beautiful reverb. The angle is 33 degrees, FYI.
Had the pleasure of attending a 4 string quartet from the Venice Orchestra that performed in a small church. It was unbelievably moving to hear that caliber of musician perform in a church with this type of acoustics.
First think I noticed, visually. Mother was a voice teacher, and Operatic dramatic soprano. Long lived voices require all but perfect posture to last into middle and late years, which is Very common among those performing professionally. Hope she finds mentors so her voice lasts as long as she breathes.

These spaces are acoustically tuned to create this effect with the voice.

I sang in a church with similar acoustics just once in my life. It was quite moving.

No, no people like this don't get to be real. This is unfair to the rest of us normal humans.

Really good acoustics and that room. I'd like to visit there someday.
jammer909
Yeah, they're certainly built for acoustic.

The powerful art and music it inspires is one of the few ways I acknowledge religion.

Sorry, I answered earlier but put a question mark at the end without meaning to.

In high school (graduated ‘99) I was in madrigals and this was one of the songs we sang. I’m a bass, I absolutely loved singing this song.
Thornaxe
The low line in this song absolutely kicks ass.
AGiantNun
Swear to god, no Christmas song has ever come close to those old school church hymns Christmas songs.

I do have a more favorite Christmas song, it’s in Swedish… enjoy.

Honestly Emmanuel nailed the framing for maximal comedic effect in that last frame.
