A glimpse of heaven

On this blog I bemoan the low standards in church. On this earth we can only catch a glimpse of heaven and I suppose our ideas of heaven will all be different.

I was brought up with the idea that worship should be as perfect as we can make it. For me this involves great music and great singing. This post is about 2 videos which both happen to be from Trinity College Cambridge. I will reserve judgement on the organ which was a poor choice - I feel - for a college which performs English choral music: the organist does a great job.

Video 1 is of Stanford Magnificat in A, sung superbly. Video 2 is of a secular piece - again sung superbly - featuring the brilliant Helen Charlston.

Enjoy these.
