Subject:OT - What is this song from Royal Wedding?
Hello group:
Sorry for the OT post but I wasn't sure where else to ask, and what better place than in a group of musicians? I hope it's OK with the moderators for me to ask it here. I've tried doing a search but no luck so far. It is no doubt a hymn so if there any church organists on this list they might have an idea what it is. This song was sung by the choir at about the half way point in the service, right after the Bishop of London reads the prayer that was composed by Will and Kate. It is a very haunting tune, almost Gregorian chant in nature. I was thinking if I could find out what it was and give it try on my clone it might not sound too bad. Sounds like something that might do well with the B-3 sound.
You can hear the beginning of it on this Youtube video:

It starts just after the 8:00 min. mark near the end of the video. This video is part 4 of a series and the song is cut off about half way through, but the remainder of the song is carried on into Part 5.
Once again, apologies for the somewhat OT question. Thanks in advance for any help.
John
