Loving Essential Carols every morning in December on @BBCRadio3, and thrilled to be asked to choose one of my favourites. Picking just one was the difficult bit. 🎶🎄

Ever since my first experience of Evensong, I’ve found the words of this collect so comforting.
Yesterday’s broadcast by the amazing @pembrokechoir was my first ever time hearing this piece - directed by @annalapwood who always brings my music to life so beautifully!❤️

As a mark of respect, the altos will keep a moment's silence during tonight's performance of his Requiem.
