Choice
In this morning's Sunday Worship (8.07am R4) from the old chapel of Hawksyard Priory, there's a chance to hear Britten's sublime Ceremony of Carols, written, amazingly, on board a ship crossing the Atlantic in 1942. It's performed by choristers of Lichfield Cathedral, with the harpist Robert Johnston. (SG)
