The night before lockdown in March 2020, members of St Martin’s Voices gathered in a dimly lit St Martin-in-the-Fields for one final time to record the music for a service led by the Archbishop of Canterbury, broadcast to the nation on the BBC. The service opened with the hymn ‘Lord of all hopefulness’.

This concert reflects on themes of love, hope, joy and peace drawn from this much-loved hymn, and includes some of St Martin’s Voices favourite choral music. The programme has been enjoyed in churches across the UK as part of the recent ‘St Martin’s Voices on Tour’ season and is now available online.

Programme includes

MacMillan – O radiant dawn
Lucy Walker – Today
Stanford – The Blue Bird
Weir – My Guardian Angel
Parry – My soul, there is a country
