Show 104 - 18th December 2012

This week there is a live show and I will continue to keep listeners up-to-date via this blog when I have a show worthy of your attention.

Choral Insight Christmas 2012 Edition

South Devon Choir's rehearsal is where we are this week as they practice for their Christmas concert, a collection of unusual texts some 12th century like Wolcum Yule and That Youge Childe through Shakespeare up to more familiar words like I Saw Three Ships set to music by Benjamin Britten, Geoffrey Bush and Gordon Jacob, the final work was Christmas Fantasia by Vaughan-Williams which sets his famous "The Truth Sent From Above" with more familiar carols to some wonderful music - we hear bits from Britten and Bush and all of the Jacob and Vaughan-Williams, some great solo work accompanied by Grand Piano and Organ.

Hope you will listen in

John
