I went to a service at Westminster Abbey today, and it was amazing. Not only did I get in the church for free, which including walking past all the major features such as Newton and Churchhill's markers. And the building itself was incredible! To top it all off, I was able to hear the choir sing as well. They are so incredible, and with the accoustics in the room it couldn't have been better. Except that it became so. While everyone was leaving, the organist was playing the Finale from Stravinsky's Firebird Suite. Wow. I had no words. I had to stop walking and stand against the wall so I could listen to the entire thing. And I'm not the biggest fan of organ music, but just the sheer way in which it resonated was more than I could have asked for. Quite a successful adventure I do believe!
