Visitors can experience the composition in different ways: From the center of the oval, each listener can hear the choir as a whole; by moving closer to each speaker, listeners can home in on individual voices — sometimes catching the sound of singers’ breathing, or fragments of conversations with other choir members in between songs, bringing the humanity of each celestial-sounding singer to the fore of the visitor’s experience.
According to a statement from the Cathedral, “This work exemplifies the value of listening carefully and with intention, traits that we hope might be carried outside of the Cathedral and into our everyday lives.” The installation, which is included in the cost of admission, is in the Cathedral’s North Transept, which had been closed to the public since December 2001 when a fire caused major damage to the Cathedral’s gift shop and bookstore.Amsterdam News is renowned for its reporting of the news of the day from a Black perspective for 113 years.
