Audio - Agnus Dei (Hans Leo Hassler)

At communion, the choir removes to the Lady Chapel, which is beyond the altar, at the east end of the church. This reverberant room is a particularly beautiful space in which to sing, with lush acoustics. Here we sang Hans Leo Hassler's Agnus Dei.

In the photo at the masthead of this blog, the Lady Chapel would be to the far right, obscured by the trees. What you can see is the east end, where the chancel (choir and sanctuary [altar]) are located. In this winter view, the Lady Chapel can be seen to the far right.
