About 20 men play violins and other bowed string instruments and about ten men sing from an elevated north choir. Each man reads from music on the choir stall's music desk in front of him. Some pipes of an organ are visible behind the singers. Other performance forces are in the south choir but there is insufficient detail to identify singers or instrumentalists.
