One of the great glories of the English choral repertory, the Mass in G Minor by Ralph Vaughan Williams was composed in 1921 for unaccompanied double choir and four soloists. The piece was pioneered, in liturgical performance, by the founding conductor of Westminster Cathedral choir, R R Terry, who also made it his life's work to revive the sacred repertoire of the Tudor period. This BBC Singers a cappella concert in St Paul's Knightsbridge places Vaughan Williams' mass alongside some of the Tudor choral works which Terry brought back to life and to which Vaughan Williams pays homage in his music.
