Excellent!
I think people who were on the spot must have had an unforgettable
experience.

Bumps! Hymn Chanted at German Station Echoes
as if throughout a Hall
At Wuppertal station, located west of
Germany, a group of men suddenly started chanting a hymn.
Please listen to their grand and
spectacular singing voice , which echoes as if throughout a hall.
They sing in harmony as if they sang in a
chapel.
You will be surprised by their high level
of singing and no wonder. I hear that
they are professional musicians who sing Irish traditional music called “Arstidir.”
The hymn they chant is a tune called “Heyr,
himna smidur” composed in the 13th century (1208). This is said to be one of the oldest Nordic
hymns, which are still chanted.
