THE VOICE OF THE ANGELS

The most important places of Christianity

An episode from the series STORY OF FAITH

Synopsis

The Roman Catholic Church has always had something with sound. Indeed, bells, organs, and chants are combined with the acoustics of religious buildings to convey the divine word.

Throughout the history of Western Christianity, sound techniques have constantly evolved. Historians and researchers are still studying the religious practices of the Middle Ages to unravel the mysteries surrounding the evolution of sound in relation to architecture.

This discipline is known as the archaeology of sound.
