Roderick Williams presents an hour of music for many voices

Verdi conjures up a terrifying impression of the Day of Judgement, complete with fire, brimstone and a chorus of wailing souls. Plus an invitation to sing joyfully by William Byrd.

In today's programme, Verdi conjures a terrifying impression of the Day of Judgement, complete with fire, brimstone and a full chorus of wailing souls. J.S Bach imagines the scene at Christ's baptism in the river Jordan. And we're invited to sing joyfully by both Elizabethan maestro, William Byrd and the ACM Gospel Choir of Guilford.
