General Manager Stuart Maughan explains: ‘Whilst our first floor is closed to protect it from the roof’s intensive building works, we wanted to give our visitors a really thought-provoking new experience.
‘We’ve worked with leading academic experts in medieval liturgy, music, and early modern history to breathe life back into this momentous period in The Vyne’s history.’
To deepen the soundscape’s sense of authenticity the men’s and boys’ voices and the organ were all recorded separately, in different locations. Each part could then be played through loudspeakers positioned around the chapel, in locations matching the original performance.
