    If you haven't heard Westminster Cathedral's Vespers for the Immaculate Conception, you're in for a treat. Just do it today, because soon it will be gone.

    Kathy, thanks for posting this. It's good to hear the modern office given a solemn treatment.
    Interesting that the BBC announcer called the motet sung before the office, presumably during the procession, an "introit."
    The alternating chant and polyphonic verses was a nice touch too, especially for the high feast day.

    Worth hearing. About 17 hours left.

    David, in my childhood Protestant times, an "introit" was anything sung just before the beginning of the worship service.

    I gather some people use Audacity to pay tribute to the timeless quality of the BBC's music broadcasts.
