Composer Nico Muhly on why he loves choirs

Tom Service talks to American composer Nico Muhly about his new album of choral music.

Tom Service with guests, stories and the perfect classical soundtrack for the weekend!

The American composer Nico Muhly has written over one hundred works for choirs, and despite being a New Yorker has made a musical home in this very British musical tradition. He chats to Tom about his new album of choral works written for the Tallis Scholars that intersperse texts from Lamentations with interviews with members of the Windrush Generation.

To listen on most smart speakers, just say "Ask BBC Sounds to play Saturday Morning”.
