Songs of Praise

on BBC One London

As St Patrick's Day festivities begin in the Republic of Ireland, Roger Royle visits a border county.
County Monaghan is the home county of Sir Tyrone Guthrie , who left his ancestral home to the people of the whole island as an artist's retreat; and of Sir Shane Leslie , who bequeathed to the local bishop a remote island which hosts the most extraordinary pilgrimage in Europe
- St Patrick's Purgatory. In the Cathedral of St Macartan the people of Monaghan sing their favourite hymns: some of them in the ancient language of Ireland.
For all the saints (Sine nomine);
Congnamh chughainn o Phadraig; St Patrick's breastplate (Bunessan); All creatures of our God and King
(Lasst uns erfreuen); Gile mo Chroi ; Now thank we all our god (Nun danket); Ar nathair; Day is done (Ar hyd y nos)
