@colla_voce@WatkinsHuw When I was a chorister at Westminster Abbey we had to abandon this as an anthem just before the service because the back row couldn't hold it together, a strong childhood memory!
👑What a royally great evening that was! Thank you @BBCCO, organist @pearcewebdesign & conductor Barry Wordsworth 👏👏👏 And thank you @CherylHoad for a spectacular new piece - a true privilege to perform.
