If you do nothing else, just stop and listen to this incredible choral piece by Scottish composer James MacMillan. We first discovered him back in the ‘90s in Glasgow - and this Christmas we were pulled right back towards him, when we heard this piece performed as part of the SCO’s choral concert at Greyfriars Kirk.
I’d go so far as to say this is the best choral work I’ve ever heard!

Beautifully sung piece by a Godly composer. Thank you.

Incredibly beautiful and sublime. I heard this for the first time on BBC R3 and it stopped me in my tracks.
