The oldest pipe organ in the Christian world sounds after 800 years of silence

Composed of original pipes from the 11th century, the instrument emitted a full, hearty sound as musician David Catalunya played a liturgical chant called Benedicamus Domino Flos Filius. The swell of music inside Saint Savior’s Monastery mingled with church bells tolling in the distance.
