How this modern day Bayeux inspired music

It took 4000 people from 15 countries a decade and a half to complete and has been described as a modern day Bayeux Tapestry. But rather than a glorification of war, it is a celebration of the achievements of Quakers past and present.

Caz Graham asks Bridget Guest why it inspired her to compose music in celebration of its 77 hand-stitched panels.
