  • The choir of Winchester Cathedral sing In Paradisum from Gabriel Faure's Requiem. The video is taken from a televison broadcast of 1980 so the quality of the video is not brilliant.

    Wow! 1980's video quality be d@mned. This is a truly transcendent piece of music and performance. For those of you who may have been weened upon the more banal examples of popular culture note the absence of sampling. No appropriation of anothers work, no overwhelming thumpthumpthump of the sub-woofer or superficial urban angst.
    This what one gets when work, craft and expression intersect.
    It's called "Art".
