WFH: UK Sunday Best choral

On a Sunday evening, this vimeo that arrived earlier of the choirs of Eton College remotely singing "I was Glad" by Sir Hubert Parry I found deeply moving,

I think it is the wonderful talented children's voices, singing now as a choir but distanced at homes, yet somehow together, the organist playing alone in chapel but there, then orchestration, all creating something together so integral and unifying a sense of collective identity - and then belting out what everything might worth holding together for everyone in UK lock-down. It touched me.

Obviously I have reservations about the school as an experience, however see briefly John Piper's beautiful stained glass windows in College Chapel. Well done them all for doing this and sharing it. A moment to reflect. And be glad.
