Very excited that our Finnissy recording is released today. Deep, enriching, varied, expressive, colourful music - the culmination of a stimulating 3 year project, our largest-ever commission. I hope listeners will share my own great enthusiasm; it's been an inspiring journey.

Indescribably proud of all that @LNethsingha & her colleagues have achieved over the past 7 months in the European Parliament, 1 of the world's greatest democratic institutions - bringing harmony & prosperity to half a billion people. So tragic to see UK relinquish its membership

In the unlikely event of England getting all 10 West Indian wickets by 3pm, you might like to turn over to @BBCRadio3 to hear Evensong sung by @SJCChoir & @ChoirOfKingsCam . It's a service we recorded in 2015. Howells & Parry @stjohnscam @bbctms
