ERE IS AN INTERESTING PROJECT that I came across on Facebook. A few historians, musicians, sound engineers and experts in medieval liturgy have reconstructed the sound of a 16th century Mass. They recorded the audio in the Vyne’s chapel, a country house where Henry XVIII attended Mass. Visitors to this Tudor mansion can now hear the ancient Mass before the reformation.
The project team has installed a surround-sound system in the chapel so that the visitors may have a more real experience.
“Visitors can sit in The Vyne’s chapel and listen to the immersive experience, with a surround-sound system meaning that the priest’s voice, the choir singing, and other noises will come from the same place in the chapel where they would actually have taken place.”
The original article about this project can be found on Catholic Herald. And here is another video where some of the project participants were interviewed:
