So grateful to @PeterhouseChoir for indulging me with this: I don't compose much, but I'll confess this one means quite bit to me. If you've a few minutes to spare, I'd really appreciate it if you could head over to youtube to give it a listen & share: youtu.be/6kllfz9uaOI

New recording! 'Never weather-beaten sail (Trilo)' by our Director of Music @sjjackson32, based on on a trad Swedish folksong anticipating the safe return of ships from the sea. Music published by @encorepubs (accordion optional!) Full film on youtube: youtu.be/6kllfz9uaOI

My first recording of the Vaughan Williams Herbert settings was, I think, this disc from @naxosrecords - so it was a pretty special treat to hear Simon Keenleyside in the flesh singing all 5 Mystical Songs tonight as the anthem at Evensong with the @SJCChoir

It is just incredible working in a place like this with singers like this lot - one of the most memorable Candlemas weekends I've ever experienced. Just magical.
