The Power of Music

Duration: 34 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC One HDLatest broadcast: on BBC One Scotland HD

Katherine Jenkins visits Salisbury Cathedral to celebrate the power of music in our lives and in our worship. At the cathedral's grand piano, she is joined by renowned composer Howard Goodall to share some favourite hymns and explore why they continue to move and inspire each new generation.

Laura Wright meets a new generation of Christian musicians honing their skills at the Nexus Institute of Creative Arts in Coventry. She joins a group of musicians experimenting with harmonies on a classic hymn and speaks to staff and students about the importance of pursuing excellence in the context of their Christian faith.

Back at the cathedral, Katherine goes back to her chorister roots to celebrate 30 years since Salisbury became the first English cathedral to introduce a full girls’ choir, separate but equal to the boys. And the director of the Royal School of Church Music talks about celebrating church worship on their Music Sunday. Show less
