Lincoln Cathedral

Hello I am back..so much has happened since I last posted. I am now in London. It has been a great tour. We went to Lincoln Cathedral, Wednesday I believe and sang at the Cathedral for a noon time concert it was wonderful. The church was built in 1073 under the Normans. It has undergone many changes and I went to the basement, there is a term but I can't think of it right now and I had to buy internet minutes to do this so it is a basement( maybe a Crypt)...There are the many layers of history down there showing the Roman floor(street) level and all the levels up to present day. The place is bigger than the last church I described to you. They have boys choirs there. Henry Purcell the composer from the late 16th and early 17th century along with William Byrd have been a chorister in the Chapel Royal. We performed songs by both of these men here today. That was the purpose of the trip to sing these songs in this space to give us the sense of what inspired these men to compose these songs for this space and to feel the sound and connection between the two then and now. I could not fit the place in my viewfinder so I have booklets and postcards to do it justice.
