Westminster Abbey Podcasts

Hear staff from Westminster Abbey as they reflect on the context and the meaning of popular Christian hymns and anthems that came from poetry.   In this episode, Stuart O’Hara, a bass lay vicar in the Abbey Choir examines John Milton’s Blest Pair of Sirens and how careful composition is used to turn his words into a glorification of God.   Listen to the full track, and the rest of the album recorded by the Choir of Westminster Abbey.
