What happens when two goslings fall in love only to end up on the same dinner plate? Aled Jones finds out as he joins the BBC Singers in concert for a potpourri of popular light choral classics, includes Ketèlbey's evocative picture of a monastery garden, and Horovitz's light-hearted cantata chronicling the adventures of Noah.
