Songs of Praise - With Cornwall's Male Voice Choirs

Diane-Louise Jordan visits Truro Cathedral for an evening of traditional male voice choir singing. She is joined by members of the Cornish Federation of Male Voice Choirs, celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2008, and special guest Hayley Westenra, singing a new arrangement of an old American hymn, Whispering Hope.

Diane-Louise gets a glimpse of the future of male voice choir singing when she meets a woman determined to inspire the new generation, plus she discovers how a grieving dad is finding solace in song.

Hymns include Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah, God's Choir and When I Survey the Wondrous Cross. (R)
