How is it that everyone in England is able to sing like this, impromptu?

I very much enjoyed this. I recognize no one. Whom do I look?

I'm guessing maybe Frank and Clau Clau.

O.K. You would have us believe that just a group of ordinary Churchgoing trads got together and sang like that???
That was beautiful!
"The World Must Conform to Our Lord and not He to it." Rev. Dennis Fahey CSSP

"My brothers, all of you, if you are condemned to see the triumph of evil, never applaud it. Never say to evil: you are good; to decadence: you are progess; to death: you are life. Sanctify yourselves in the times wherein God has placed you; bewail the evils and the disorders which God tolerates; oppose them with the energy of your works and your efforts, your life uncontaminated by error, free from being led astray, in such a way that having lived here below, united with the Spirit of the Lord, you will be admitted to be made but one with Him forever and ever: But he who is joined to the Lord is one in spirit." Cardinal Pie of Potiers

No, I wasn't there. I'm still trying to figure out where it is. A rough guess would be Essex/Hertfordshire border somewhere near Bishop Stortford.

I agree though it was beautiful; one of the three transcendentals.

You don't recognise any of those Trads?  I am surprised if someone does not.  Show it around a little.

I recently visited the burial place of Napoleon III the emperor who was Exile from France and died reconciled to the Catholic Church.  His wife was a Spanish princess Eugenie who was extremely rich due fo inheritance. Originally he was buried in Chislehurst Kent where I go to Mass but after his death and his son's death (Zulu wars), his wife who lived until the 1920s had them brought to Farnborough in Surrey. And there she built a larger church, which I visited very recently called Saint Michael's Abbey.

It was my wife's birthday so we spent a night at a hotel in Farnborough and saw the Abbey after we turned up and invited, it was actually closed, rang the bell and said that we came from Chislehurst.

The monk invited us in and gave us a private tour of the chapel and explained the history of the place and took us down to the crypt where three granite sarcophagi lay.  The young prince on the left, Emperor Napoleon III on the right and the Empress herself in pride of place over the altar in the crypt.  I made a decent donation as it really was a VIP tour by the monk and I was very grateful.

In talking to him and explaining who I was about about our family background and why we were Trads, it turns out that he had heard of our family and in particular one of Clau Clau's daughters who he had met on a retreat or something of that nature.  He immediately knew the family name.

At well over 100 people in the Tradsphere, we have a mini dynastic empire underway.  Fame at last!

Yes, that is my daughter, Stella. Her friend, Lucy (who is currently staying with us) is the niece of that monk.

Frank is older than dirt.  He was 10 when Hitler bombed London.

I found the exact Polyphony they sing.

Not quite impromptu.  Everyone had music in their hands already, so they were probably planning on singing this at some point in the day.  Still well done.
The royal feast was done; the King
Sought some new sport to banish care,
And to his jester cried: "Sir Fool,
Kneel now, and make for us a prayer!"

The jester doffed his cap and bells,
And stood the mocking court before;
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.

He bowed his head, and bent his knee
Upon the Monarch's silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: "O Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool!"
