Jerónimos Choir: Space and Sound

The choir is time set to sound—architecture conducting liturgy.

🧭 Orientation

• View axes to altar and nave.
• Seating for chant and prayer.
• Elevated vantage aligns eyes, ears, and ritual focus.

What to Listen For

• Sustained vowels “bloom” in this volume.
• Consonants soften; rhythm carried by phrase, not beat.
• Quiet is an active part of the score.

Architecture conducts liturgy—sound finds its shape.

[^chant]: Chant scaffolds time, marking the hours.
