From the online schedule's playlist:

Ivor Algernon Atkins

Composer: George Clement Martin. Composer: Walter Galpin Alcock. Composer: Peter Moorse. Performer: Arthur Barton. Choir: Choir of The Queen's College, Oxford. Conductor: Owen Rees.

As ever I ask why? I assume the Radio Times manages to get it right still?
Actually I've just noticed that the playlist is incomplete, no mention of responses,hymns or voluntary. Bearing in mind it was a recording there really isn't an excuse for that.

Lovely service. Superb music making. Did we really need that introduction to the psalms (was it “creation, human and non-human”??!?!!?) after already too much chit chat at the beginning?

No but I think the Beeb now requires a statement of what a psalm is every week, rather than letting you work it out from the words.

The 'Music played', as is the custom on R3, appears after it's been broadcast even when it's a recording. The bare order of service is all that appears in advance.

I understand that and in fact it's obvious from the way items are added as the broadcast progresses. However, as the service was recorded the music played was known by the time of broadcast so there shouldn't have been any omissions. I see that the voluntary has been added now, but the other omissions remain - so not even the full 'bare order of service', so to speak.

...so, if like me you post stuff from R3 website for listeners to respond to, imagine my weary exasperation..!
