We sang a particularly fun anthem this morning at the parish Eucharist - a recentish composition by Hamilton, "Ye Gates Lift Up Your Heads." I'm not sure how it sounded, as we were very short-handed, and some of us (including myself) were battling colds and rather struggling with top Gs, but at any rate, it was fun to sing.

We did a final run-through in the nave just before the service, and one of the congregation came up to me and said "That was a very nice noise you were making, it wasn't Stanford, was it?"
