I hardly ever tune in to Sunday Worship, but Radio 4 happened to be on, and I thought that the cathedral choir of Bangor (which we don't hear much about) did a good job. Contrasting anthems by Mathias and Harris among other things. Also some (possibly apocryphal?) stuff about St Deiniol.

I enjoyed this service and the very spirited singing, with the top line being the glory of the choir. I felt a lot of the service was geared to showing off the choir and why not? I'd like to hear them in a CE. Isn't this the cathedral where George Guest and Aled Jones were members of the music department at the start of their respective careers? -

Nice too to hear some real ecclestiastical music from that service, instead of the happy-clappy banalities that seemed to have taken over the airwaves every Sunday at ten past eight on R4 when I take my morning bath!)Comment

Spot on..........they sound totally confident of who they are, sing unafraid and joyfully. Big tone, and particularly loved the whackng lower register of that top line.Comment
