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!❤️

A particularly wonderful @BBCRadio3 Choral Evensong from @stjudeonthehill to celebrate 100 years of the BBC Singers this afternoon. I absolutely loved 'How shall I sing that majesty' with full orchestra. Do try and catch it online.
