1 of 5) Back to the Church itself for the service for which I was practising on Saturday http://www.fotothing.com/Sheila/photo/ea6f71b8f46e9bb9f359b7f1404f1d03/start=7

Elgar's organ is in the middle of the balcony, the "new" console to the far left. The organist has his (or in this case, her) back to the rest of the church and feels very apart from all that is going on. There is a mirror strategically placed but it doesn't really allow the feeling of being au fait with what is happening in the service. Scary!

That ceiling is lovely but strange - more like a stately home than a church.

Nice building - in all my time as a Catholic I never went into that church, (and in all my time as a non-catholic I haven't been in there either!)

so it does look like a service for an organist s/he Serves depriving themselves of the full presence effect! In this case, I should say it's very selfless of you and so my appalauds and hat off! :))
