Forty days after Easter, Christians celebrate the completion of Christ's work on Earth and his heavenly coronation. Live from St Martin in the Fields in London, the Archbishop of Westminster,

Nicholas Holtam. The Daily Service Singers and His Majesty's Sagbutts and Cornetts, directed by Christopher Stokes , perform Palestrina's sumptuous Missa Ascendo ad Patrem.
