The extended choir with a low barrier of relief panels in the nave was added to accommodate changes in the twelfth-century liturgy, specifically the emphasis on singing and chanting. The other options (an ornate ceiling and a baldachin over the main altar) were already present in the church prior to the liturgical changes.
