BBC Radio 4 - Sunday Worship, A New Song

A service of songs, prayer and praise from Ely Cathedral.

A celebration of women in church music from Ely Cathedral with preacher, Reverend Canon Dr Jessica Martin and Ely Cathedral Girls Choir directed by Sarah MacDonald.

A celebration of the contribution that women have made to church music from Ely Cathedral.

It's 30 years since the first English Cathedral opened its choirstalls to girls on the same basis that boys had been welcomed for centuries. After the foundation of the girls' choir at Salisbury, choral foundations bringing girls into choral music, have sprung up all around the country. Ely Cathedral Girls' Choir first sang in 2006. Their voices now celebrate the contribution that women have made to church music. 

The preacher is the Reverend Canon Dr Jessica Martin with music from Ely Cathedral Girls Choir and Lay Clerks directed by Sarah MacDonald.

Producer: Katharine Longworth

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
