What was the sweetest moment for you?
The sweetest moment first.
I remember, and I think this is a trigger for later performing and taking this path that I have taken.
The sweetest moment was we were...
on the steps at the front of the altar.
The cathedral is lovely and, you know, gilt and big and echoey, and it's a beautiful place to sing.
And we were on the steps, the choir, the full choir was on the steps of the altar.
There's a name for that, I don't know what it is, but we were on these steps going up to the
altar to where the choir normally sit but we were on the steps this time we had the sheet music in front of us and we were doing Lottie's Crucifixus which breaks the four-part harmony of the choir into eight parts and so I remember holding a line with two
maybe three other young boys against the whole choir.
And I remember looking up at one point from the sheet music and looking at the congregation and people in the first few pews had tears in their eyes.
And I remember thinking, I wondered what was making them cry because
We weren't moved as the choir.
We were simply doing something very technical, but they were crying.
So something was happening between us and them.
There was some alchemy taking place.
And that made me very, very interested in the power of being able to tell stories and
share music, and it was a little seed that was planted at that moment that's grown ever since.
I remember that moment clearly, that was a good moment.
All boys, was it?
