I spent the morning in a lovely little church in Cardiff, with a small, but confident choir who believe in having a go at everything. Their enthusiasm is quite infectious. It was the first time I'd heard 'The Lord is Exalted' by West - rather clunky and Victorian sounding, but very pleasant for all that.
It was lovely to be back in my own church for Festival Evensong, though - there's nothing quite like your own place and your own choir. The Sweeney responses and Brewer in D are becoming second nature now, and I still get a tremendous thrill from singing 'O thou the central orb' (Wood).
