Paris again

I had the privilege of taking a large choir of schoolchildren to sing a Haydn Mass there in 2000. We used the choir organ on that occasion, also a very fine instrument and probably horribly damaged by the water if not the fire but we can hope.

The console of the grand organ.


To return to heraldry, here is another image of the Dauphin and Mary Queen of Scots, who married in Notre Dame in 1558, this time from the Forman-Workman manuscript:


The Forman-Manuscript is kept in the Lyon Office. The image in yesterday's post comes from the Forman Armorial, kept by the National Library of Scotland.
