First broadcast in 2012, repeated on the 26th of January inst.
"The wild swan's death-hymn took the soul / Of that waste place with joy / Hidden in sorrow: at first to the ear / The warble was low, and full and clear; / But anon her awful jubilant voice, / With a music strange and manifold, / Flow’d forth on a carol free and bold; / As when a mighty people rejoice / With shawms, and with cymbals, and harps of gold... "
Those damn shawms still kill me.
