The Christian Church Was Born in Song

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

The New Testament includes countless descriptions of sung praise to God, as well as quotations of sung texts like the Magnificat.
Jeremy Summerly and guests discuss why the notion of praising God through song has had such enduring appeal. They focus on the Magnificat and Te Deum, settings of which can be heard throughout this season of Proms.
8.25 Bach Magnificat in D, BWV 243
