This was the first hymn at an Evensong service in the chapel at Ightham Mote, a National Trust property in Kent. With Cheerful Voice runs events where participants have the opportunity to rehearse and sing or play at services in various venues, such as Cathedrals and chapels.

The readings were Acts 2: 1-21 and 1 Corinthians 12: 3B-13.

The plainsong, used in place of the prayers of praise and adoration, is "Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire", an English translation of the ninth century Latin hymn "Veni Creator Spiritus".

Birds include parakeets, wrens, a blackbird and great tit.

Nearby fireworks recorded from my garden on the evening of the day of the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla.

These birds were singing in the May right outside my window early on Monday morning and it was utterly beautiful! A very vocal blackbird plays a starring role but there are many other singers too.

A soundscape of a few minutes in my garden before Church. My sneeze that echoed set the squirrel off and the trilling bird you hear is a wren.
