We apologise for the very poor sound quality at the start - it improves dramatically after 3:27 - and also for the brutal editing applied to the recording before it was donated to the Archive. If anyone has a better copy, we would be delighted to know about it! • This was the eleventh in a series of 19 weekly BBC radio broadcasts introduced by Sir John Betjeman (later Poet Laureate). It was broadcast on 4 February 1966 and features the choir of Liverpool Cathedral, directed by Ronald Woan, with Noel Rawsthorne on the organ. • The Archive is not responsible for the excision of some items of organ music from the programme. • 1. Ascendit Deus (Peter Philips) • 2. Agnus Dei (Thomas Morley) • 3. Gloria in excelsis Deo (Thomas Weelkes) • 4. Like as the hart (Herbert Howells) • 5. Festival Te Deum in E (Benjamin Britten) • 6. Fugue on the Magnificat (Joh. Seb. Bach)
