The ideal performance! As others have commented.
Dr Layton instituted the broad sharing of these performance videos, and they should well leave a mark up to which others might reach. Perfect performances of inspired choral readings, always reaching for more.

In video shots facing the lecturns, the pulley on the right hanging from the ceiling has a long wisp of stringy, dust-covered cobweb on it - and it's been there for many months. In fact, it's been there for so long that I've named him Trevor.
Trevor gracefully floats and waves in the warm updrafts of swirling air, dancing and swaying gently to the singing of the choir. If you watch him long enough, you'll see that Trevor's definitely got some sick moves.
And someday, when an enterprising chapel custodian gets a long-handled duster up there and wisks Trevor away to his final reward, I'll miss him and his gentle, fluff-covered dances. Until then, dance on, Trevor ... dance on.

And, what of the Hadley??

Hahaha - I'm glad someone commented on this. I've been wondering about "Trevor" for quite some time. He's like those inflatable puppets that have a fan blowing constantly through them while they flail about. Doesn't distract from the beautiful singing and exquisite musicianship of this choir...

@@robertfraser485 I think Trevor's dancing is the closest we'll come to crowd surfing in chapel. To his merit, Trevor's got solid rhythm.
