I watched the choristers of Salisbury Cathedral. What a beautiful Cathedral & grounds! It's unbelievable how long the Cathedral has had the tradition of choristers singing within its walls! Freddie reminded me of a young Hugh Grant. Tea & sticky buns ... or was it lemon drizzle cake? How very English :0)

it was wonderful i agree, and i am glad you got to watch it. I had hoped they might repeat the one i missed from Kings, but will keep an eye open next time.

for you two....

if you want something really special but not Salibury, google Morten Lauridsen and his O Magnum Mystere at Kings.......stunning

We watched, we thought it was a wonderful programme. I was particularly impressed with the way that the choirmaster taught and brought on those youngsters. Inspirational.

Boxie - possibly the most exquisite piece I know of - of a living composer.
