This last weekend I was in Berlin. I know: I should have been in Chartres. It`s years since I`ve been. I was staying with friends and was trying to explain the joys of the pilgrimage. To remind myself, I had a look on YouTube and this I thought captured much of it.
My trip to Berlin did mean that I got to Mass at the Institut St. Philipp Neri. We had a beautiful Missa Cantata with an excellent schola and well-trained servers as well as a large, mostly young, congregation.

You are right, Father, you should have been there...
The pictures certainly capture something of it, but the soundtrack? Chartres sonne, certainly, but the guitar?... I've never heard one there, and the singing is normally much more robust...
I did say captured `most of it` not all of it. I too cannot remember hearing a guitar at Chartes but in the context of a marching hymn it doesn`t sound offensive to me.
