Apparently, you can hear papers rustle and chairs squeaking.

Yes you can. I downloaded Arny Krueger's recording and took
a listen to it. While the choir is definitely amateur, in
both the good and bad senses connoted by that word,

Sure the choir is amateur. In the real world they are actually doctors,
lawyers, plumbers, auto workers, salesmen, housewives etc. They've been
practicing a lot more lately, and are now good enough that I was willing to
post a recording of them singing. Music is about fun, right?

Here's a challenge - guess the size of the group.

However, no chairs were present, and the choir wasn't seated. They were
standing in the midst a really robust set solid oak pews that are firmly
bolted to a concrete floor in a church balcony.

I must say that there is a refreshing "live," unprocessed quality to the
sound.

Thank you. However, I will make no claims about the recording being
unprocessed.
