Unmissable music for choirs with Roderick Williams

Roderick Williams presents his selection of choral favourites and new discoveries for Sunday afternoon, including sacred music by Schubert and an infectious hit from Indian cinema.

Roderick Williams presents his selection of choral favourites and new discoveries for Sunday afternoon. In today's programme, we hear an ambitious mass setting by Schubert, a joyful psalm by revered polish composer, Pavel 艁ukaszewki and we eavesdrop on the extravagant 17th century funeral of a wealthy German Count. Plus the National Youth Training Choir of Great Britain dance their way through an infectious hit number from Indian song-writing legend, A. R. Rahman.
