Today, in thanks-giving, a programme of English choral music from the sixteenth century to the present day is to be broadcast from there. Works of Benjamin Britten and Vaughan Williams illustrate aspects of modern religious music, and Dr. Harold Darke , the conductor of the St. Michael's Singers since their formation in 1920. is represented by his setting of part of Milton's Ode on the Nativity ' — which was specially written for the Singers and has long been associated with them
