Recordist's notes

The mass in the OLV-over-de-Dijlekerk. In first, the priest speaking. After, people praying and at the end, beautiful songs of the assembly. During the vocal, the offertory : people opening the wallets and a lot of squeaking of the old benches.

Written by Vincent Duseigne on radio aporee ::: maps.
