* The Choir: BBC radio 3: 6.30 – 8.00 Just who is the greatest choral composer? Singing guru and recent guest on The Choir, Terry Edwards, has a suggestion. He rates Richard Wagner above all others. It's a surprising idea as many people wouldn't consider him a choral composer at all. Terry is passionate about his choice, though, and has the musical examples to prove it. So, Aled has invited him back on the show to put Wagner in the choral spotlight.
Also in the programme, Aled quizzes Mary King about her VoiceLab project at London's Southbank Centre and catches up with the latest news from the BBC Radio 3's Choir of the Year competition. Aled reveals the best 24 groups to go through to the category finals of the Choir Of The Year. Judge Stuart Barr is in the studio with Aled to reveal the results.

You are very right, xaria - Good Morning Sunday was from Manchester this last Sunday, so he must have done the two Chitty shows Saturday and then been driven to Manchester from Cardiff (hardly a short distance!) to be in the studio at 6.00am, to do GMS.

He's a hard worker! And always comes out smiling! Very Happy
