Recordist's notes

The Church of Roncole stands in front of the main street of the valley. The Sunday Eucharist Celebration was amplified through an old loudspeaker on the bell-tower but none was outside. The words of the celebration and of the choirs mixed with the noise of the fast cars on the street create a surrealistic effect. The tension releaases when, at the end of the celebration, people comes out.
