"Captivating Choir Stalls: A Glimpse into the Majestic World of Sacred Music" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the enchanting world of choir stalls. From Norwich Cathedral's awe-inspiring view, looking east in 1898, to the grandeur of Westminster Abbey's High Altar and Reredos beyond the choir in 1935, these captivating creations have stood as witnesses to centuries of divine melodies. The Choir and Apse at Westminster Abbey, beautifully captured by York & Son in 1902, transports us to a place where harmonious voices echo through hallowed halls. Albert Pratt's exquisite Choir Rail from 1935/1942 and William Kieckhofel's intricate work from 1939 remind us that even the smallest details contribute to the overall splendor. Ely Cathedral beckons with its stunning Choir Stalls photographed by Frederick Henry Evans in 1891. These seats bear witness to countless choristers who have raised their voices heavenward throughout history. Monuments such as Antonio Roselli's marble masterpiece and intricate glass mosaics adorning Cantoria panels transport us further into this sacred realm. The Cantoria detail from c. 1433-38 showcases singing angels carved delicately out of marble, while another panel features a mesmerizing blend of marble and glass mosaic artistry. Henry VII Chapel within Westminster Abbey holds its own allure with plate eight engraved by J. , offering a glimpse into an era when choirs were revered for their celestial performances. These remarkable works stand as testaments to human creativity inspired by devotion. As we admire these choir stalls' beauty and craftsmanship, let us remember that they are not mere pieces of furniture but gateways connecting mortals with something greater – music that transcends time itself.
