Kind of gives you chills .

Good Lord, how delicious! I wanna do that! The next time I’m in a cathedral, I’m doing it. 

As she stood inside an ancient and empty church in Montefrío, Spain, Malinda Kathleen Reese belted out one of the best Christmas carols of all time-“O Come, O Come Emmanuel” and the end result was just heavenly.

I’m obsessed with this because A. Victorian Christmas Carols B. European Cathedrals C. It’s gorgeous and fuckin choristers are my favorite

Agreed. And the music.

The sunlight streaming through the windows just adds to the effect.

AFAIK the church was almost certainly built to have acoustics like that.

Architects and builders would have known what arches, domes and other reflective surfaces would do to sound, choirmasters would have known how to fine-tune the effect with fabric hangings, and performers would have adjusted the pace of their performance to take the reverb-delay into account.
