Peace and quiet can now be downloaded from the Internet. We have just released a unique forty-minute recording of Salisbury Cathedral Close at dawn, which offers a rare chance to experience profound calm. At a time of day when the Cathedral Close is shut off from the outside world and undisturbed, all that can be heard are the sounds of birds and, occasionally, the cathedral bells. Listening to this recording immerses the listener in that deeply peaceful experience. STETS is located in the Cathedral Close, which the author Bill Bryson once described  as ‘the most beautiful space’ in England (Notes from a Small Island) . The sound recordist was Sister Mairead Quigley, Chaplain to STETS and a member of the Society of the Sacred Heart. She said, ‘This was a magical experience! The morning was beautiful, with a clear blue sky. Being there was a prayer – no need for words or thoughts… one of those moments when simply being present was an unforgettable gift.’ Click here to listen to Sister Mairead  To listen to ‘Calm in the Close’, click the start button > below.
