Of Interest -

1. For the Allegri, the cathedral choir sang Allegri's faburdens, and the alternate verses were sung by eight or so seminarians from St Mary's Seminary, which is about two miles away from Walsingham. Though most (but not all - we have about four Ordinariate seminarians there) of them are diocesan seminarians, they love to visit Walsingham and are often seated 'in choir' on Sunday mornings - wearing their birettas, which all Ordinariate and visiting clergy do.

2. The seminarians also sang the Introit and the Tract a la Palmer-Burgess.

3. For those who may not know, 'in choir' at Walsingham means just that. We have a chancel betwixt sanctuary and nave with choir stalls on facing sides. Integral within them is the cathedra and the rector's stall.
