Cathedral of the Madeline Christmas eve binaural recording

Audio is here as a Livescribe community pencast.

You can just click to listen - no need to download first. This is a binaural recording so for best effect listen with stereo headset or earphones. This was recorded with the Livescribe pen using little microphones (included with each pen) in each of my ears. So it's just how it sounded if you had been standing there in my shoes. It's not CD quality by any stretch; the pen is intended to record voice notes, not music. But you may be surprised how good it sounds.

The Madeline Choir School is pretty phenomenal and this performance features them, as well as the pipe organ. The Cathedral of the Madeline in Salt Lake City is a beautifully restored historical building and the sound inside is pretty wonderful.
