It is an inspiring thought that we can not only stand in an early medieval church like Charlemagne’s Palatine chapel at Aachen (Aix-la-Chapelle), built 792-805, but also perform the chant sung at the time the chapel was built or soon after. Inspiring in more ways that one: most obviously because something embedded deep in our history becomes audible.
