Abside, Basilique Sainte-Anne de Beaupré, Québec, 2023.

Somewhat out of the ordinary for important Roman Catholic churches in Quebéc, this basilica is in a neo-romanesque rather than a neo-gothic style.

Romanesque Revival architecture.

The Chapel of St Michael the Archangel, owned by the SSPX in Burghclere, England, seen decorated for a wedding last Saturday, and reflected in the bright afternoon sunlight in a puddle left over from a solid downpour of rain in the morning. These conditions of bright sunlight following a solid rainfall necessary for such a great puddle reflection are quite rare in the UK, although they tend to be more common in the Autumn, but they're such great fun for creative shots, and traditional architecture, with all its colours and human proportions always looks great as a puddle reflection. The chapel was only completed last year.

The Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul is a neo-Gothic church in Vyšehrad fortress in Prague, Czech Republic.

Founded in 1070–1080 by the Czech King Vratislav II, the Romanesque basilica suffered a fire in the year 1249 and has been rebuilt in Gothic and later in neo-Gothic style. The basilica features an impressive stone mosaic above its entry, and its twin 58 m towers can be seen atop a hill to the south from along the Vltava River in central Prague.

Tân Định church in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. It was built during the French colonial period in the 1870s when Vietnam was part of French Indochina.

The architecture is mainly neo-Romanesque, but it also has some neo-Gothic and neo-Renaissance elements. It has been painted pastel-pink both on the exterior and interior since 1957, earning it the nickname "the pink church" (nhà thờ màu hồng).

Three churches in Le Havre

This building very much stands out in Le Havre's rebuilt city centre, as it is far more ornate than its surroundings. It's the oldest building in Le Havre, completed in 1638, just 120 years after the founding of the town. Damage by Allied bombings but not completely destroyed, the old church was kept and restored, and, with Le Havre becoming a major town again, it got its own diocese in 1974. The church then became Notre-Dame Cathedral of Le Havre, and is now approaching 50 years in the role (anniversary in December).

As it had been decided to keep the old church, Auguste Perret, the architect in charge of the reconstruction, would build a church of his own elsewhere: the new Church of Saint Joseph, a blocky concrete structure, perfectly in sync with the rest of the urban project. Where the cathedral sticks out as its rounded, classic facade contrasts with the angular buildings around it, Saint Joseph's stands out with its tall central spire. Culminating at 107 m, the tower is inspired by lighthouses, a symbol of Le Havre's maritime nature.

Somewhere in between, other churches further away from the port also survived the war - not without damage, but restoration was chosen over replacement. In the foreground, Saint Vincent de Paul's Church was built in the 19th century in a neo-Romanesque style, its central tower reminiscent of the abbey on Mont Saint Michel.

The Fauré concert was absolutely incredible, just an intensely emotional experience (I got weepy twice onstage during the performance) and one where I remained vertical throughout. It was a one-night-only thing performed in the city cathedral, a massive neo-Romanesque structure decorated in mosaics that are clearly patterned to some extent on the ones in Ravenna. It's a terrifying space to sing in because of the massive reverb, but once you get into the zone it's absolutely wonderful and that piece is just perfect for it. But it's also very emotionally demanding, because you can't trust your ears, you just have to trust each other and the conductor, and there are parts of the Requiem that are just so--intimate? Like, the note Maestro gave us for the offertory movement was "the audience should feel like they're overhearing your private prayers." It's both incredibly solitary and incredibly communal at once.

Speaking of community: I also have to admit that the fuzzy feelings I had were definitely fueled by the amount of fussing over me that people did following last night's incident. Fainting during rehearsal is not an experience I recommend because it's very confusing and upsetting, but if it's going to happen it's nice for people to fuss over you. After the concert Maestro asked me how I was doing and said he was glad I was able to make it, and I explained that I am fine now and then gushed a bit over how wonderful and intense an experience it had been.

I am relieved, though, that I didn't say the thing that was in the front of my mind because it's something you should never, ever say to a conductor under any circumstances, for everyone's own good: what I mercifully did not say was "There was a moment when I saw you as God."
