A happy penguin - the starting point for this morning’s Essential Classics Playlist, if you’d be so kind as to suggest an idea, inspired by music for a 5 minute ballet about Penguins by Herbert Howells. Not, I think, something he wrote for Evensong. Join me 9.30 @BBCRadio3.

Tonight's Choral Evensong is based on John 18.33-37 'Pilate questions Jesus - are you a King'. Led by Canon Simon the service includes music by Frith, Murrill, Leighton and Howells (Hymn to St Cecilia, whose feast day it was yesterday).
