Great Hall. Traditional sacred music from English village churches of

to participate, either by singing or playing an instrument. There is no
admission, but a hat is passed to defray expenses.
As an attempt to introduce church music into rural areas, choirs were
formed from the local residents. The village instrumentalists were often also
recruited as a means of assisting the singers. The mixed ensemble of singers
and players usually performed from a gallery at the west (rear) end of the
church, so this music is now known as West Gallery music.
