I am off to Rattwig in northern Sweden next week to direct a boys' choir course. Some 400 boys will be on the course and we will be working towards a concert at the end of the course with orchestra including Vivaldi's "Gloria", Mendelssohn "Hear my Prayer" and two of my own pieces.
On Sunday I am filming a BBC TV Songs of Praise special about the nation's top ten hymns. I shall be talking to Aled Jones about each of the hymns chosen by the viewers. This should be broadcast later in the summer.
I have just set a hymn by George Herbert to music to be published by the RSCM in a new hymnal this autumn.
Simon,
