Who made the arrangement of 'Christ be our light'? I prefer it to Bernadette Farrell's own, which is what we sing in our choir.

Sorry, but I thought today's CE was a bit anaemic.
BBC Singers? Not for me............

A gentle, reflective service as befits this penitential season.

[Finzi4ever]

Great to hear Andy L back at the console: always a brilliant player and making the Dupré as French as possible on the otherwise excellent Tickell. The Gounod was new to me and worth a place in the repertoire of that particular genre, I think.
