    Really enjoy the Funeral IKOS... we are doing that and several other interesting pieces at (OF) Vespers this Sunday at the Seminary chapel.

    The Shrine Choir sang the Funeral Ikos very beautifully. A number of us in attendance noted it was better than any recordings we've heard. The same was true of Elgar's Lux aeterna.
