Confessions of a Recovering Choir Director: Ad orientem: not just for priests? Baldacchinos are unlikely to be built in new spaces for reasons of handicap acccess, by the way. Hence the trend towards coronas and the like (which predate the reform -- the spectacular aerial sculpture at the Portsmouth Priory School in Portsmouth Rhode Island comes to mind as an example from just before the council -- you know those Liturgical Movement Benedictines....) in their stead. I should add that, as an acoustic matter, I find I vastly prefer the arrangment in such musically solid (even renowned) places as St. Paul's in Cambridge, MA (and elsewhere) where the choir inhabits the corner of a somwhat shallow transept, which seems to produce a more consistent and better result than from the loft. www.cantemusdomino.net /blog/archives/000901.php   (1254 words)
