It was a great joy to lead Choral Classics at St Stephen Walbrook on 23rd September, which you can watch at this link. Our theme then was ‘More than Hymns’ – Choral settings of some of our favourite hymns. Preparing for Choral Classics involves finding out about the music being performed and selecting two poems or readings that fit the theme, ensuring the choral works and the script to link them together lasts between fifteen and twenty minutes. This post contains some of the information I didn’t have enough time to include in the script for the service and shows some of the alternative options I considered for the two readings.
