Gregorian chant

This evenoing we went off in search of bicycle inner tubes (forgot to buy spares for "just in case" before) and supper.  We walked past the cathedral, which of course was closed, and at a side entrance was a sign saying "vespers".  So we went in.  A small side chapel, about 10 people there and two priestly sort of characters in red cassocks.  We were given a book with the text, all in Norwegian opf course, with plainsong musical notation.  Of it went with a cantopr leading and everyone joining in for the choral bits.  We even managed a bit, even understanding what is the the "heilige aand" (the aa should be a with a small circle above).  It was actually moving and a very good experience.

Supper was reindeer stew and fish soup.
