Have you ever been self conscious about the way you look, the way you behave in front of a camera? How about how you may look in front of a TV camera for a live broadcast to millions in your own country and others watching via the internet around the world?
That's the issue being pondered by a choir called Hitter Klang, who have been rehearsing for the four hymns they are singing during the marathon Norwegian hymn book sing through.
The Sandstad based newspaper Hitra Frøya reports on the preparations of a local choir performing on the Sunday morning of the 60 hour 200 choir minute by minute continuous live broadcast on Norwegian channel, NRK2. Salmeboka Minutt for Minutt is next in a line of what has become known as 'Sakte TV' or Slow TV.
In singing 899 hymns it is a certainty that some will have to sing hymns which are lesser known, maybe even unknown or forgotten by the masses; "the hymns were completely unknown to me, says Marion Fence - but all four are very fine...". Norsk Salmebok numbers 718, 719, 720 and 723 will be sung by Hitter Klang.
