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?


There was no fun in that performance. It was grotesquely stilted and
unmusical.

Just a typical church choir. They stayed more or less on pitch and got
most of the words out. Of course, the arrangement isn't at all difficult
or special.

I thought that the accents, dynamics, choppiness, and regimentation
produced just a God awful result.

I fear that most church choirs aren't even as good as that...
